Lol Zonda, 500hp!!! :? If i put about 100 stickers on my moms car with 50 hp per sticker I will burn him, with an auto too :P 8) :squarewink: :mrgreen: Hmm, two more questions, what about safety regarding alarms and shit. My friends tell me it is easy to break into a lot of cars: slim jim, the battery restart thing, key locks with screw driver rotating it breaking all the pins ,etc... I might be paranoid (coming from the America...), but uh what alarm systems are worth getting? And what websites are there for newbs like me about car maintenance and general car info so the mechanic guy doesn't rip me a new asshole on unneeded shit?

I know you were joking about the car and the stickers....The guy who was saying not to be cocky about driving just after you got your G2 is the bullshitter that,,, that link was about!! One of his best claims was a 500 HP daily driver....a little tired today??

OOooOO I feel stupid now. I just took an exam and I am in the middle of studying for 2 that I have tommorow. I might be a little slow now, thinking about chem and all. I never want to see another formula or Hydrocarbon naming bs after tommorow.

Zonda11 06-23-2004 04:58 PM

HaHA...chem is no fun....don't spend so much time on here if you have exams.....I've been done for a week...YEA

Gimp 06-23-2004 05:59 PM

So does anyone have any websites for newbs about cars / maintanence??

SlickDizzy 06-23-2004 06:02 PM

As far as maintenance goes, experience is the way to gain knowledge about that.

I'll be looking to buy my first car around the turn of the new year, however, it's gonna be something really cheap, as I need to save for a rally car and rally school.

So T-Bird, do you, or do u not have a 500hp T-Bird?? Anyway, good luck on ur exams man... BTW, the comment about him smoking my ass was directed towards me, not T-bird... just FYI.

dont get something fast, you will regret it in the hospital.

well i do know alot about dsm's, ive owned and been around them for over 3 years. the car itself is reliable, IFF you take care of it. You gotta run nice fluids and change them regularly. With that said, unless you try to go over 450 at the tire, your probably going to be allright. to the guy who said 2g's are prone to crankwalk, uhh you are really into rumors arent you? Yes they do get crankwalk. But its only like 5% of the cars. The reason the 2g's do and the 1g's dont get it as much is because the 2g's have a crank angle sensor. when the crank "walks" it gets to far out of adjustment and the cas can't manage it. every car, no matter what is prone to this problem. it happens, but i wouldn't not buy a car because of so much internet hype. make sure you have the car you want to buy checked out throughly before you purchase it. the talons were made by dsm. dsm = diamond star motorsports which was a calabo with mitsu and chyr. talon's are about 3k cheaper than mitsu's on kelly bb. oh, there is no differences between the two cars, mitsu to chry. same motor, trans, everything. the body work is different and you can actually exchange them between cars if you wanted. forget all this, go find one and test drive it. then go drive a 240 with that crap 2.4 truck motor in it. you tell me which one u like better.

Ok,, T-bird was just saying not to get cocky as a new driver and I was taking a shot at the 500HP daily driver that he made up.

Gimp 06-24-2004 02:33 PM

What is crankwalk... Also, say I get a talon, what blot on mods can I add on to the engine? What companies are good for parts / not extremely expenisve ( 16 (almost 17 :) ) without a job blows ass). And what type of shit should I not do to the car? ( Obivously I am not goign to get altazzas and a big ass wing :mrgreen: )
