Hello guys,
Nice site just thought i would say hello to my fellow racers and cruisers in the us from good old europe..

NOBODY MENTION THE RYDER CUP... LOL

i don't pay attention to those newfangled bimmers.

jason

Hows the street racing over in Europe?

Hello Jason this is odd i'm called jason and we both have bimmers,they do say somewhere in the world you have a double..hope you ain't as ugly as me..lol

Anywayz to answer your question i have a M52 vanos E36 2.8 litre straight six complete with quikshift racing kit and cold air feeds ,apex racing suspension and blackdiamond racing brakes,lots of bodywork colour coding kits m3 bodykits and 18" tsw evo r alloys with yokohama avs sports rubber although not dyno tested it is pushing about 225 bhp with 240lb's torque

Hello Chris ,

one word difficult...the cops have gatso cameras everywhere here on the main dual carriageways etc...so cruisin is the in thing we block of large carparks and strip it , donuts etc all good fun,however we have broke the 150mph barrier on a few cruise convoys..NICE..things move very quick at these speeds..lol

The saving grace for us is small twisty back country roads we do long night runs when it's quiet at jaw dropping speed it is not for the faint hearted...

Small block turbo coupes are popular because of the lanes with good handling you dont get many big cc units mainly scoobys ,skylines ,cosworths and bimmers..2.0 t/3.0 twith big noisy dump valves is the trend..although i'm saving for a supercharger for mine to break the 300 bhp all rear wheel drive and not a traction control switch in site..

c'mon guys dont be shy i'd like to find more about your scene in the good old us of a and i'll fill u in on great britain and some sites to visit..

My Club founded by me and 3 friends just opened last
week you can access general area have a look at pics and cruise reports..

that fiat coupe sounds awesome with induction,dump valve and 4 inch big bore exhaust..if you clocked his ice install that car has been 1998-2000amateur sq+ leaque winner in the uk..i had a ford sapphire which came 3rd against the coupe but i sold that in jan this year and bought the bimmer ..we are at the moment stripping and re.building a ford escort van to do a spl install..we are hopin to put a progress report on site soon

hiya Ben ,looks like your into the euro look..well we have a couple of euros on board celica gt4's preludes,civics... one civic we had was the crx with twin nos set up pushin 250 bhp a complete pocket rocket and stickered to the eyeballs looked evil and mad was very quick amazing at power circles and slides he now has a carl seinz gt4...

Thankx bowt my car everything is colour co-ordinated it's very white and very sparkly looks like a chewing gum advert..i have just done a new small end on it and i'm runnuin in now cant go over half throttle 4,500 rpm or 99 mph..soon tho soon..lol

Right then exciting bit i love horse power and i'm into bbbiiiggg engines tell me about your chariots and excuse my ignorance but where exactly in the us are you and is it true some states wont let you have more than 6" diameter speakers in your cars..?

Well, I live in central California. There isn't a restriction on speakers, whatever you can afford drop it into your car:) The main thing in the states, especially in California, is vehicle emissions restrictions. It makes it very difficult to hop up the cars:( Not to mention we get jipped with the slow cars while you lucky brits get the good ones;)

-Ben

I live in MIchigan were we don't have emission standards. You can pollute at much as you want since we don't have huge smog problems or anything. We can have speakers big enough to stop your heart, but you aren't allowed to just blast them on the street. We have a thing called noise pollution, we are also not allowed to have cars covered in neon and strobes (although you CAN in most other states).

I run a Mini-van that will out-run ferrari's in the quarter mile. or 400m for you.... I think. I had a Nessian 300ZX TT but sold it due to lack of money. I'm in the market for something else right now.... but something that I can afford to pay insurance for.

AS far as races go around here, DRAGRACING is the thing to do. Pull up next to someone at a red-light... wait for the green and hit it. OR you can set up races somewhere that is less populated. I personally also enjoy point to point races. Pick a starting place, pick an ending point and just drive. First one there wins. The place could be as close as the next town, or half a state away. It just depends on how much time and money you want to spend.

Streets are full of the Eruo thing (lights and such), but the guys who drive such cars often they are running SLOW low HP cars that they have just tried to make look good..... I have nothing against that, but I don't like that they claim them to be fast when they aren't. However you may run into a euro or jap car that can really move every now and again. The real movers on US streets around me are the high horsepower cars (usually american muscle).

please let me know if you have any questions. I'll try to make my answers LESS confusing that the above post.
