[Chemwarrior]

You are correct Andy but that's because I have a mission to come down here for. Unless you plan on paying for my TDY and all my per diem then I can't see myself driving down here. BTW I'm taking a trip up to my house this weekend. :D

[Evolvedgti]

per diem. aint it great :D

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Dont' think I will be able to make it, that's the same day as Forged Performance's dyno day =(

[em1toevo]

Ii think that is around the time I have finals:(. I'm not sure if I can make it either.

[Evolvedgti]

Dont' think I will be able to make it, that's the same day as Forged Performance's dyno day =(

In all seriousness, WHY did you now post something about the forged day? This is YOUR forum where you can put what the hell you want. By not speaking up sooner, you force the customer/enthuasist to choose. That aint right.

disclaimer. I know you dont run Forged, but still. you run this site, when people were talking about the next meet somthing should have been said. This is just like the shoot out in ohio and the other people doing it the same day. This does NO good for the community!

[Chemwarrior]

^^^^^^^^^
Wow!!

This is a bit diffrent. Neither of these shops set up their dyno day to purposly detract from the others. However Ryan you should have told us as soon as you guys set a date & possibly this shop would have sheduled a diffrent day knowing there was already one in GA on that day.

Your right, its different. I agree, forged should have said something first. Its not like we all didnt ask when forged would do another dyno.That was my point. I normally stay pretty damn quiet, but I am a little tired of the BS in this community!

[EmminoDaGreaT]

lol damnit! I tried to make it on a day nothing was happening... oh well sorry fellas!

First off, this was a recent scheduling, it's not like I have known about it for a long time. For instance, when we did your TC, we still had no date for it. Regardless if we or Mainstream posted first the customer/enthusiast would have to choose anyways, so what's the problem?

Yes, I run this site, but when people were talking about the next meet I had no idea when we were going to have our next dyno day. It's hard to give someone a heads up if I don't know something is going down :rolleyes:

I would agree I should have informed you guys earlier, sorry. I honestly don't always have time to get on here. I have to monitor 11 different forums in which I have a responsibility to be active as a paying vendor. I try to get on here as much as possible, but it has become less enjoyable recently with everyone getting onto my back, the above being a perfect example.

When you all asked we still had no date and had no idea when the next one would be. I informed everyone we would be holding one once it warmed up, but we still had no date at the time. You are still getting almost 2 months of advance notice. My intentions were not to come in here and rival Mainstreams dyno day, so I apologive to EmminoDaGreaT and the entire Mainstream staff for the schduling and delay in informing you of our plans.

[shunderwunder]

Sorry Ryan. I know this was not intentional. What are the chances someone else would shedule a dyno day on the same day of yours anyway. It's not like you were waiting till last minute. Kinda sux cause I'd like to go to both if I could.

This was my point. didnt mean to "get on your back". Its just that you run the site, so I figured you would get on and post the dyno day. i figured wrong. you do have alot on your plate. i apologize!

[EmminoDaGreaT]

Just go to both!! we usually here til 9 anyway!!

[EmminoDaGreaT]

And to top it off just hit 120 since forged is right by it.... take it to our new shop.. 15 min drive or so!!

[shunderwunder]

Funny thing is. I was thinking about doing that. :)

[TouringBubble]

I really wish i could make it. I need new numbers for the car. Latest dyno says 296awhp ... lol.

[EmminoDaGreaT]

See if you evo boys can make more than some wimpy hondas!

[shunderwunder]

I plan to be there, but I don't know if I'll be ready to dyno.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

See if you evo boys can make more than some wimpy hondas!

that a challenge? lol

[ryanowarrior]

^ i think it is...............:D:D

[EmminoDaGreaT]

that a challenge? lol



Ya, Ill bet a few hondas make more than your blue beast....

And no, not IN general, but on that day @ our shop :)

[shunderwunder]

^ But can they go arround a corner?

[Hikaru]

^ Lol!

[EmminoDaGreaT]

^ But can they go arround a corner?



LOL! damnit, you got me there....

[shunderwunder]

I didn't think so. :D

[em1toevo]

I have much respect for Hondas, from previously owning a Civic Si. However, I longed for a thing called........torque. Boosted AWD FTW!!

[amonsta727]

Ya i never knew hondas could be so scary!!! lol but awd is the way times 2 in my case!!

[EmminoDaGreaT]

I didn't think so. :D

Just the ones in question cant corner well, however we've built many that I am sure would make ya 450 ish guys have to earn it..

[EmminoDaGreaT]

less than a month

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

lol! somehow missed the last couple of days of discussion in this thread. The blue one makes over 6xx on pump dynojet and can corner better than almost any car in the country ;) Unfortunately it will most likely still be up north at the beginning of may. Lots of work being done to her. I may swing by with the MR and see what she does though ;)

[EmminoDaGreaT]

Thats good you think it will corner better than any car in the country, i respect your ambition...

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

I intentionally put the "almost" in there to give me a cushion as I know it is not better than ANY car ;) But I do not have any doubts about it being ONE of the best handling cars in the country. I know it sounds arrogant, but I know my setup and how it reacts/etc.

[EmminoDaGreaT]

You can have a great handling car all day, but it comes down is do YOU know how to use it.... Will someone else drive it faster? If thats the case it takes the fun out of it, obviously there will always be someone who can drive better, but if you build it, and cant drive it, its a waste imo. (dont take offense to this, because im not going to get in a pissing contest w/ you over how you can drive yadda yadda, this is not IA and its not going to turn into one of those I am going to run 9's first pass threads......)

[TripperFx3]

Ryans a pretty damn good driver (again not to start a pissing match, just I know and have seen the crazy fucker on the mtns lol), so I have no doubt he'll lay down good times. As good as Robert Fuller (Robispec)? Probably not (no offense buddy lol), but the purpose is to enjoy the car which, when the car is finally drivable and works is finally done on it..., Ryan will be driving the piss out of it on the track :D

On another note Emmino did you finally get an Evo?

[EmminoDaGreaT]

I think I found an 06 mr, for the low low :D.... i just need to get this silvia and 180sx outta here so I can make some loot!!

[TripperFx3]

Sweet! Didn't know you had a 180sx and a Silvia? Is the Silvia the one Turbo Dave used to mess around with?

[ZIGZAG]

I'm afraid I'll already have left Atlanta by then. My last day here will be April 17th.

Remind me Dan, where are you headed to again?

[Chemwarrior]

Remind me Dan, where are you headed to again?

Heading back to my house in Clarksville, TN. I'm finished with my Army mission here.

I understand what you are saying and please don't take what I have said out of context. I said the car itself I believe to be one of the best handling cars in the country. I think I am a pretty good driver, but did not say anything about my driving ability. I will be driving the car, which yes, probably will in turn make it not as fast as its full potential, because I am not one of the best drivers in the country. So if I'm not breaking track records, don't come back and say "told you so". I have the best suspension Robi Spec has to offer. If you don't believe his suspensions work then that's your opinion. Look at the Redline Time Attack boards and look how many cars get podiums at every event. Now I can tell you for a fact that the package that is on my car is superior to all except for 1, which is the same as mine. So to sum it up, do I know how to use it? Yes. Can someone else drive it faster? Yes, but nobody else will be driving it. And I still back my statement that I think it is one of the best handling cars in the country.

[EmminoDaGreaT]

Cool, Good luck to you running it at the events.. LMK if you do any little local events to harness your skills.. auto x etc..
