[HONDA GHANDI]

You suck at t3h Int3rweb.

[TedR719]

Those where the days, the red hatchback in action... I remember when you came down to the springs at Brians house to help us with one of the many s/c installs and we took a few rides in it, motivated me to build mine up...

Best I ever ran here in CO with it was a 14.2 on street tires (no drag radials back then either)

It ran a 13.2@109 in Texas with the clutch slipping terribly.

[Skaterkid]

Sounds spectacular.

I've still got a copy of that vid, as well as another one of bandi with that car. That thing is badass. I met the guy you sold it to once upon a time as well, the car wasn't doing so well :(

[HONDA GHANDI]

Yeah I sold it to a friend of mine who promptly ran it out of oil adn had to rebuild it using ghey stock parts. Then he sold it to some jerk who has destroyed it as well. :(

[floored4door]

Nice I like it. Where can I get my head ported and polished? How much you think Tobi?

[HONDA GHANDI]

The guy who did mine retired. Ive been wanting to give Heads By Paul a try though.

[STIBungy]

What compression pistons were you running? That was 14.2 with nitrous?

I've tried him every night last week. He's alright.

[David]

K it works for me now

cool car

[HONDA GHANDI]

10.5:1 pistons.

14.2 on the bottle, for half of second and all of third and fourth gears.
Still got crazy wheelspin in second. I wish there were some decent tires back then. I ran it once on some BFG R1 race compound road race tires and the wheel hop was so bad it broke the glovebox where my N20 controller was and it fell out and unplugged itself.

Cool vid! Nitto had drag radials back then, that's what I ran.

[HONDA GHANDI]

Not in the sizes I needed. Plus I didnt have any money after my swap. :(

yeah he uses way too much teeth

[MirageZ31]

That was a sick hatch

[i drive crap]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure aleks <or sasha... both drove it for a while>ran it out of oil and then he tried to put that b17 head off of galen's GSR on it... then it started running all hot, so he got whiney and sold it... for a loss like all his stuff. He never even raced it. Although while it was still in Tobi-tune mode I did drive the shit out of it, and got it to 140 rather quickly going up i-25 racing a del-slow with a supercharged b16. A few of my domestic buddies saw lots that hatch's tail lights. Ahhhh memories.

[HONDA GHANDI]

140? you still had 15 mph to go before the rev limiter.

[i drive crap]

it got scary with the 15" si wheels and his cheap ass tires.

[Pang]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

[EpBlackout]
