Why were they being pulled? Looks like they had some money in the car, to damn cheap to call a tow truck?

Uh, because it was an unreliable tuenarboi pile of ----, and tow ropes are quicker than tow trucks.

Sad, I thought the WRX was a rally car and could handle offroad environments? Another myth bites the dust. ::)

the one guy doing all the talking "daniel" is a foreigner, not sure where is from exactly. The gtech is the closest thing we have to actually getting our cars really "timed" down here. we recieved some lights recently though so we are making some progress. May be one of you rich guys can donate some much needed cash to help us out. 11 second or not that car halls some serious ass. We have some races on sunday. I will try to get you guys some gtr, evo, and supra ass kicking vids.

rupert murdock had a tree fall in his yard. He bought a chainsaw and went to town. :y

Re: wrx crash
 
what im wondering is they can spend thousands to make their supra/wrx/etc... go 11s and buy sweet parachutes but they need cash please please please for a triple tree you can order out of jegs for a couple thundred?

Where exactly are you located?

im located in st.lucia ( caribbean). We recieved a light tree or what ever its called some time ago but i am yet to see it in action. i have a vid of it being tested somewhere, i will post it later.. The problem with buying the equipment for a proper track is that, the area we race on is goverment land, its an old air port base. Its not fenced or anything so if someone were to buy all the equipment then he would have no means of getting his money back cause you cannot restrict or charge people or racers coming the the track. We also cannot fence it cause it would be illegal. If it were private land or something i would pay for the equipment myself if i had the cash, but i dont and its not. Then again i dont own a car worthy of taking to a track so i would just be paying for someone else to have fun. Does anyone know exactly what equipment you need to have a fully functional drag racing track, and how much it would cost ? another thing, not everyone down here has parachutes on their cars, to my knowledge this is the only one.

Re: wrx crash
 
I doubt the car in question needs a parachute.

You have no track to beat the kinks out of a vehicle on, and measure objective gains, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a beat down ED chassis with rust/350 whp D16/trailerpark suspension setup on a set of slicks would yank every (slow pathetic AWD or IRS) car on your island out of the hole and far and away outstrip them from a roll. Short of an absolute master of a chassis, which I doubt there's one much less multiple on an island of a few thousand people, you just have the usual rich blowhards throwing parts at a vehicle in an ignorant fashion.

Re: wrx crash
 
My friend Corey and I are doing our damnedest to prepare this ED chassis you speak of JD. :6

evo_lucian 02-21-2007 09:18 PM

Re: wrx crash
 
I cannot agree nor disagree with you jd, reason being we do have some really quick cars down here like gt35r rb26 silvias and a host of others, we have a twin engine evo and a host of other well built cars . I agree we may not have too many dyno queens but we do have some quick cars. 95% of the car enthusiats down here cannot afford to build a 350whp ed, those who can are not gonna give a honda civic a second look. Another thing is that we dont have too many hmt type guys down here. Everyone wants name brand parts like greddy hks or some other big name company. No one wants to use a factory dsm or saab bov, its all hks ssq or greddy type s down here. No radiator hose for piping either. I actually got laughed at when i told some guys on a local forum that i can piece a $6-700 usd turbo kit for a crx i was thinking of buying. Every thing we buy down here cost 3 times as much as it would in the states. A used Autometer boost guage costs like $250 ecd, thats roughly 100 usd just to give you an idea. we are simply doing the best with the little we got . Usually its a 4age 20v swapped corolla or some other cheap set up. A 350whp civic would run like low 13s give or take right ? I doubt that will be fast enough to take crown as the "island silencer"

Tom-Guy 02-21-2007 09:54 PM

Re: wrx crash
 
You made my point. Not to poke at you, you don't have ready access to the tools us guys in the states do, but if you do things the HMT way you're going to hurt a lot of high-dollar feelings on your island. Learn the ropes and if you have a little talent your second or third build will be an island silencer; your competition is a bunch of cakeboys who buy parts out of magazines based on how many cool points their wallets can afford.

Only thing a big power Honduh would have to look out for is a half assed set up live axle, which I doubt you have, and curves. Three stage MBC, like stickied in the Forced Induction Forum hint hint, should knock power down enough you can handle a corner or three...

Re: wrx crash
 
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I lol'd hard whilst reading your reply. The reason it was so funny is because its true. We dont even have a dynometer of any sort, most of our tuning involves a long strip of road and a couple guys ------- with a afc. I know i am gonna sound like a noob when i say this but, believe me when i say i plan on embarrassing alot of people when my plans materialize. Im currently honda searching right now. You are gonna laugh when you hear this but its ------- impossible to find a cheap eg or ef down here. I found a beat up to ---- crx recently but the owner refused to sell. I have a thread about it in the forums linked in my sig. Its in the general discussion if anyone is interested. Next week i will be trying to convince a local guy to sell me his ef hatch for $6-7k ecd ($2400 usd) i was thinking a hmt style, 14b , hf manifold, dsm smic, turbo edit tuned ef hatch will be enough to embarrass the masses.

Poor car.
Owners deserved every bit of it, pulling a car on a busy narrow road is just asking for it. :S

come on man our accents are "cool" at least to me it is, better than most like that of india, pakistan, china, and that of the lower states of america i.e mississippi etc. Its also better than that stuff you hear in the movies , like "yeah man" or "irie man" or any of the jamaican oriented slangs and expressions that 5% of us use.

Re: wrx crash
 
here is a recap of sundays races.. the wrx established an island record of 11.2 secs . here is a link to a thread on our local forums.. the wrx run 11.2 in the solo run. the vids are on the second page.

Re: wrx crash
 
Huh, I'm impressed.

That WRX leaves pretty hard, and the track is uphill. If it's a TRUE 1/4 mile and the equipment hasn't been fiddled, that's a pretty sweet car.
