I like the setup, but I dont think you need all that to run low to mid 11's, wasnt someone here running 11's with full interior and an HMT setup?

Re: full race on pinks
 
look at the questions to the bidder...

Q: What beat it..? Did they have to stay single cam on it? If they would have went DOHC then it wouldnt have mattered what it was racing.. Research full-race everyone.. Offering $1000 isnt going to cut it.. The turbo manifold on this car is worth $1200 alone.. Thats one hell of a single cam.

A: Thanks for the email. We ran our 1989 RX-7 turbo against it. It was a very good race, and I think everyone that watches it on Speed channel will agree. They did not have to stay SOHC, as there are no rules other than it's a 1/4 mile run and you race for titles. You are right though, this is one hell of a car.

i doubt it, i was there the rx7 was sandbagging the whole time. that hatch is a pos, it had soo many probs. It wasnt 480 hp it was 440. I talked to the guy who tuned it and he said they didnt win much

yeah, who wants to buy a big gay full race pink hatch.... im sure some honda tech fag will pick it up for 11 grand.

Re: full race on pinks
 
ok.. so that show pinks.. they race for pinks.. but the show buys theyre cars from them for fair market value right?

like judge judy.. even tho people loose.. or whatever.. they dont really pay out of theyre pocket.. the show pays it.. but they got to pretend theyre pissed off or whatever..

Dibble 01-27-2006 10:45 AM

Re: full race on pinks
 
Yeap, pinks buy the cars that race, before they race. Winnar gets to keep there car loser gets to give the money back that pinks payed them for it, plus $1 and they can have there car back.

Real gay.

nope not how it goes, its real the show doesnt buy anything. if it was that way why would they build a car they were willing to lose?

I would drive the big gay pink race car, I don't care, ----, if you can get it cheap enough a paint job is just a few cans away ;) ;)

because they can make a POS pink civic.. and they dont want it anymore.. so they claim its value to be alot higher.. and they sell theyre car.. they get the $$$ and theyre happy.. i wouldnt be surprised if they went out theyre to loose ;D

that show pinks makes enough money to eat up paying 10 times more the value of theyre POS cars..

Re: full race on pinks
 
+ one on the paint cans, flat black would give that a hard sleeper vibe....hell some dents and some rust would make it even better, then go vette hunting.....perfect...

Wrong. The winner gets the title of the car. Its up to the new owners if they want to sell it back to them or not. But the title is singed over to the winner so its legally their car.


There's been rumors that Pinks isn't real but it is. Go race your car and see if you can buy it back for $1 if you lose. They'll tell you to ---- youself

Re: full race on pinks
 
they used to allow the losing team to buy their car back from the winners if the winners would let them, but now they are supposed to not let it happen

Dibble 01-27-2006 03:18 PM

Re: full race on pinks
 
Well what I said may not be right on with what really happens. But something is fishy. Theres no way someone would go on a TV show that 110000000 people will see and there be a chance of them losing there car. If its the way yall say it is, thats just ------- gay.

There are 2 types of people: gamblers and pussies. Its just gambling and if your afriad to loose your car than the show isn't for you

Did you see the quality of the work on that car? It was not their official shop car. That was something they threw together in a weekend for the show, good publicity regardless of winning or losing.

Am I the only one to see the irony that they lost the race becuase of a bad turbo to intercooler coupling? A company that bases its reputation on quality parts lost the race becuase of an inferior fit and finish of their turbo kit?

full race is for faggots.

yeah its a nicely built car but i would hate to be the fag that buys a car that lost. :1 :S

A guy on our local board (who is no longer local) was on the RX-7 team. He said the civic was pretty dam impressive, and he give the full race guys lots of credit. -the 7 was running on 12psi, and when they took over the car, no couplers were blown off. It was a coupler that fucked them...it was simple stupidity IMO

*page 11 on the HT thread -Mr John, from the RX7 team

Hopfully that episode will make it onto the net so I can watch it. Do they film them building the cars too or just the racing?

Ya looks like a total slapped together beater. ::) I would say the same thing If I was a high end Honda parts maker and got walked by a beat looking RX7.

why would anyone buy it they had nothing with problems with it... piece of ---- imo if it sells for over 7 there getting ripped off

yup, the car was put together just to run one day. It took 3 days of tring to figure out what was wrong with it to make that 440, the first two days it wouldnt make 300. Then it ran into a wall @ firebird the night be for the race. When the guy who tuned it said its a pos, most likely its a pos. they didnt even have harnesses for it so they borrowed them from AMP down the street, thats why they asked for the back when they lost
