yea, passing people is fun in a 4dr goin bout 80-85. specially the good lookin girls who have their little civics or maximas, i just give em a stare down and punch it. totally priceless.. but worth it. although punching it doesnt make a difference, it still makes me think that i want to go faster, but i know it might take a while..   also to Costa, ive had it to about 110 still runnin fairly low rpm(5500) around there. but didnt know how much more i can push it before i really break somethin

Yea just waiting for the rubberband to go pop

On my way to Moab a few years ago I traveling with my freind Chunk. I had 35s on my Tracker and he was driving a Superduty with a v10. On the way down the rocky mountains out of the eisenhower tunnel I passed him cause his SD was hitting the speed limitter at I belive 108mph. I kept the hammer down till he was nowhere in site.   He cought back up after a 1/2 hour or so on the uphill then I drafted him till the next downhill I was at redline for nearly a half an hour. I can assure you that my engine does not have any carbon in it. I often wonder how much longer that motor is going to put up with me. Over 220000miles on it (200K from me) and still not a single oil leak and it still runs like new. It has picked up a little smoking habit... isnt that what all the cool kids are doing these days anyways? Kidding, Im thinking of getting it the patch

Speaking of the rubber band going pop, mabe I should put a new timming belt on or something.

i dont think i have had mine over 75mph with the 31's on. it is too noisy and uses way too much gas!

derek

me and a buddy buried it one day with his 30s... but it was on ice.   75 tops is about all i will do

they deffinatly are light, specially on a windy day. but it makes it that much more entertaining. i usually just start off in the slow lane on the highway, and miraculously end up in the fast lane.. i dont think on purpose though.. im suprised i havent been pulled over yet .knowck on wood, i was followin a state cop doin 85 and he didnt even care, and theCT state cops can be pretty harsh. usually like 7 miles over the limit, your gettin pulled over. but i figured hey, hill... straightaway, and even someone in front of me to move traffic out of my way, why not go for it. i was a little nervous though, but nothin happened..

    well that didnt last long. i guess knockin on wood doesnt help.. i got my first speeding ticket lastnight. parents took the keys. i guess its better off, i would end up killin myself in it. but, it still sucks. he clocked me goin 65 in a 30. but wrote down on the ticket 50 cuz i guess anything above that would be wreckless driving, but i was driving good came out to be $175. not worth it.

too bad dude

in my state you wouldve got arrested
(for going 30 over posted speed limit)


safety first

my samurai will cruze at 60-65, 70-75 with a wind at the rear, and the killer of all killers 45-50 with a head wind haha.


All the people with sammi's know how much fun it is to drive when theres a strong head wind or cross wind.

It spent to much time hanging out with Chunk and his Smiley Face. (Did that make it to the Dark Star?

I cleared 105 easily at roughly 70% throttle, but the top was so noisy I got a little nervous!  No idea what the little brick will do.  Do the XL-7s have a governor?
