I'll be working at that time so im going to have to time record that show. Is it just a documentary?

Re:Street Racing- Pedal to the metal on Discovery channel
 
I think so. Only saw like 10 seconds of the preview. But sounds like its gonna be worth watching

yeah i remember that mtv one, it was kinda stupid. Had a lot of shitty ricers but they followed around a guy a rhd na integra with a quad tb settup. Just kinda remember that being cool.

the MTV one was all filmed out here, we still make fun of a certain honda tuning tech contributor who is gonna be left unnamed for that one.

"The culture of street racing is an urban phenomenon that's ------ing across the globe. Meet the kids spending loads of time and money gearing up their first cars to transform them into lighter, faster, louder and flashier drags."

im from jersey and i race in philly we have the best street racing in the world theres not too much rice just fast cars and tv makes it look like its dangerous and out of control

Holly 02-08-2004 06:38 PM

Re:Street Racing- Pedal to the metal on Discovery channel
 
It really does depend on the crowd. There are a shitload of dumbasses who come out at our races and ruin it 80% of the time.

TV is supposed to make it look dangerous because it is. The out of control part is up to individuals, really.

anthony88 02-08-2004 07:08 PM

Re:Street Racing- Pedal to the metal on Discovery channel
 
the only ones who mess up our races is the law i wish those fuckers good luck in the next few weeks when street races get big beyond control when the snow melts and it gets warm and everyone finishes thier winter projects

it's suppose to b about 2 streetracers (1 guy 1 girl) and the show gives them money to build their cars even faster and race them on a LEGAL DRAG STRIP...it sounded all fun till the "legal part"...

Stan 02-09-2004 06:12 PM

Re:Street Racing- Pedal to the metal on Discovery channel
 
Is it on yet? Can someone encode it and host it somewhere?? I don't think we're gonna get it on our Canadian Discovery channel.

Re:Street Racing- Pedal to the metal on Discovery channel

Re:Street Racing- Pedal to the metal on Discovery channel

Re:Street Racing- Pedal to the metal on Discovery channel
 
whats wrong with legal drag racing? not soying i never race on the street (last week jeff and i were up to 125mph) but for me racing my black car at the drag strip is much more of a rush

Heh, douche your right. But it was kinda ricey. I watched it, and I don't know. It had it's decent parts. heh, I definately think most of our HMT video's are better than that show was.

Re:Street Racing- Pedal to the metal on Discovery channel
 
how i would have made it better.

1) pick and choose any used car below 3 grand.
2) pick and choose the people you want to work with.
3) have two junkyards, and have each team chose one.
4) they can get anything they want from it.
5) give them a week to build.
6) one day to test drive and fix what needs to be fixed
7) race the hell out of the cars.

Re:Street Racing- Pedal to the metal on Discovery channel
 
The girl ran like a 14.9 when converted to quarter mile. That is on a boosted B16 with 75 shot, someone can't drive. Apparently she is a regular on Honda-Tech, and she blew the motor they gave her on the show after she ran a 12.6 at some other track a while after the show was taped. That's more like it.

Sounds like the show Driveshaft that was on FX Network.

Re:Street Racing- Pedal to the metal on Discovery channel
 
take out the sohc and put in a b16a..................and then they dropped the amount of $3500 for the B16A?!?!?!?

Why would anyone buy a B16a for $3500?

Also the DSM had all the advantages. I mean com'on, running an 1/8 against a turbo charged FWD car. How isnt the AWD car supposed to win? They would have been better off building the civic NA if they were racing for an 1/8
