just saying hello... found my way here via a link in natedoggs sig on fastrides....

i think he wants to race me

-mike

Better have mods!

yeah he said he will hand me my ass or something....

maybe i should throw this new turbo thats sitting on my engine on... lol

you might need that, and make sure you tune your NOS timing!

....miles of intercooler plumbing. Which core?

Nice turbo, care to share the specs? What stamp is on the compressor housing? I see ITS then a turbine wheel. Is it from http://www.itsturbo.net?

So what kind of times is this wrx putting out? I've have to say I'm a fan. They're almost as good as DSM's. Maybe I'll eventually be able to afford one as a daily beater for when the fast car's broken

Haha! Yes.

Remember...Its not the size that matters...its how you tune it.

Welcome to the board.

Welcome to the board Mike! man Another mike! Geeze We're everywhere!

yeah dont worry about it being tuned.... afr is 10.9-11.3 all the way... its not bad... just wait till ron gets his AWD dyno in a few months... i might be tuned a touch better....

-mike

Mmmmm...AWD dyno...

Where will this be?

aye .... funny now since no one should take my advice... how am i friends with someone who's current project is building the worlds fastest WRX...

and the dyno will be in the st louis area.... dyno dynamics AWD dyno...

-mike

ps: here is a stroker motor for the WRX... good for 800+ HP

Oh, so you're still holding that grudge. Well, whatever, if you want to be immature, that's cool w/ me. My original take on the exhaust subject discussed on fastrides still holds. At least I back my up theories and facts with real world sources. Just because you're friends with someone who should have "the worlds fastest WRX" doesn't mean you know your stuff. I could post pics of other people's projects too.

that wasnt my point... my point was why do u think just b/c u are fast in 'east peoria' IL and know darryl hudson that you are going to hand someone (me) my ass in a race... eventho you dont know who i am, or what i have done.... the fact that im friends with someone who is good with cars... is to prove that whatever i have will be 'tuned' properly

-mike

now now boys.....can't we all just get along? Mike, I don't know you yet but welcome to the group. Here at dsmcentral we are a friendly bunch.....we are a family lol. Most of us generally save the "sh** talking" for our non-relatives i.e. cii...j/k. It's rather funny that you bring up the name Darryl Hudson.......he, his wife and ever faithful sidekick Amos happens to know a few things and one of the things they knows is it's not how you talk about your car on message boards, it's how you race it.....you better learn that lmao And I believe they have instilled this in my good friend Nate. I also know that if you mess with one dsmer you are gonna get the whole bunch riled up generally, and that's not a pretty sight . So in what I believe to be the true nature of dsmcentral..........relax have fun, we're all here to learn maybe bs a little.....If you wanna talk crap, there are plenty of other places to do it. If I'm completely out of line fellas, then feel free to correct me. I feel better now that I put my .25 cents in lol.......I'm outtie, peace and chicken grease

Yes, please keep that sh!t on fastrides....

yeah i generally get along with everyone.... but just for 'natedogg' i bought a bigger turbo tonight.... so this race may be fun... hehe

-mike

wow, some people's dickhead attitude just don't quit.

no... i will never stop.

Well.....may I suggest that if you came here just to be a di**head.......that you stop......Mike, nobody likes a di**head .......Especially one that is being that way to Nate. So just calm down bro......we know, you have a big jimmy, so you don't need to try to prove it. I think you'll find that we'll all get along much better if you would just relax a bit bud lol. This is the last time I'm going to ask nicely before I pull out the big guns...... j/k


Wishing you'd lighten up a bit-
Katie

whoa, I don't see how that statement is him being a dickhead. I for one like to see some trash talking and dispute on the board rather than everyone standing around patting each other on the back.

Welcome aboard Mike. Now how about those questions I had about the turbo, care to field them?

Well you asked...

HO

Hey slowwrx,
Welcome to the boards and first off, are you in STL? I Live in STL and would like to see your Slow WRX! ha ha J/K man!!!

Welcome aboard DSMCentral slowWRX! I've seen you on the fast rides list too. Good job on your new best 1/4 mile!

As for being cool and lightening up I'm all for it and agree 100% with Katie's first post. We have enough soap opra message boards and we dont need anymore. If you need more drama check out all the half baked 'Real' TV shows on every stinking cable channel!

As far as the bigger turbo just for Nate comment. I'd take that as a compliment as well as a good hearted challenge. I see only good competative spirit out of that.

So have fun, just don't take this crap too seriously.

BTW-Good Job Kris! You are THE MAD DRIFTER! j/k... sorry man I couldn't help but pat you on the back some more!

Marcus

yeah im in st louis most of the time... my friend ron owns a shop downtown called Axis Power Racing. www.axispowerracing.net (i threw together a site for him in a few minutes one afternoon, put my car on the site of course) the black one...

the new turbo i got isnt that big... im hoping for 325-340 to the wheels... currently i have a lil over 300

TDO5 HS 16G
"MHI 16G cartridge, using the standard turbine wheel to give us maximum drive area, a properly machined IHI #20 exhaust housing for the perfect balance between exhaust flow and velocity, Garrett .60 A/R compressor housing with custom CNC machined adapter, perfectly matched inlet and outlet dimensions for a trouble free fitment, and last an adjustable wastegate actuator to allow custom tailored boost for your combination."

-mike

ps: i dont talk shit, not everyone has to like me

So I hit the reply button with every intention of talking some sh!t. Then I realized I should get my car running and maybe have a timeslip before I do. So intead I'll make vague threats of future sh!t talking from me. So there. Yeah.

BTW though, since I'm sure this little face off will be a while coming, can I have a shot at the winner?

Oh, and welcome to the board.

Hey, no worries Slow. My bad about taking your point the wrong way.

But please make sure you know what you are talking about before you attempt to correct me. I've been around the block a few times, so I know a few things, and I don't appreciate it when someone tries to correct me with wrong information. Not that I haven't been wrong before, because I have. Also, please don't misquote me. Never in any of my posts on fastrides did I even imply that just because I knew Darryl Hudson, I thought I was fast. He's just a buddy of mine and I brought up his name because he uses an internally gated turbo that runs 10's...it fit well as an example in what we were discussing. Also never did I say I would hand you your ass. I did say that I would give your rex a beating though. This may seem like semantics to you, but to me its the difference between being a dick and talking a little shit.

Well, anyway, I don't plan to sit on my laurels when it comes to modifying my car this summer either. But, I don't race on paper. If you're ever up in Peoria let me know and we'll meet up and go for a friendly run or two.

friendly eh... if its summertime u want to race and its run what u brung... (4 wheels) ill bet ya whatever u want... but if u want to race me in my WRX vs you in your 1g... i still bet a lil.. maybe gas money it cost me to get to peoria...

-mike

Heh heh. What else you got? Are you talking about your buddy's stroker? I don't agree to any bets til I know what I'm running. Hell I might agree to race that stroker just to see it run, though I wouldn't stand a chance. 800 HP to 4 wheels is damn impressive. I've seen DSM's running similar HP numbers go head to head at the track. Purty cool.
