I was taking my BB 73 Vette for a final run before I put it away for the winter a ricer pulled up beside me at the lights and he kept on teasing me So I figure I would blow the doors of this silly little ricer with his fart pipe and all. The light changed green and I nailed the monster I did spin the wheels a bit But that ricer dug in and man did he run he basically left me in the dust. The horror I guess our old technology just can keep up. The horror the horror. Hats off to the young crowd I guess it's their turn now. Oh well I guess I will go home and get drunk. The Horror the horror
Sorry, but nub, you sound like a lot of ricers I have heard, hype their cars like crazy and I don't see any pictures of this 500hp 454 with a 400 shot of nos and I don't see any pictures of timeslips, now if I am wrong, please prove me so, but I just do not believe what you are saying right now.
I have much more respect for someone like 69 chevelle ss who respects a fast car, period. And since you have only been on here a little while, I would look around and make sure you have the fastest car on here before you go boasting about it. But I guess yours is the only 900hp 454 beast on here. It just sounds to me like your just bragging and thats the only reason you are posting.
Oh yeah, btw, you can have a skyline shipped here if you have the coin, so they are on american streets...

infact i think i have the fastes car in this site...
Boo YEA!:drunk:
Yeah, keep wet dreaming with auto-parts, must be trolling in the same boat.
Not even a month ago you asked how to get 500 HP with your motor, and now its done and running.
Very fast work, with all that work by yourself it must be fast.
How can you build a motor when you don't even know to use the spell checker
From 10/01/03 posting,
i duno,i'v been looking for a good turbo kit to get my 383 stroker with 475 hp to 900
Well Nub,if you had the fastest car on this site,I must have been hiding under a rock somewhere when you said it.
As for me.I wont claim to have the fastest car on this site,but I do have a muffled street car with dot approved race tires,that runs 8.80's on E.T. streets and 9.0's on drag radials with a bunch of timing pulled out.
That is all in a 3550# street car with slapper bar suspention and a basically stock chassis.
I did own and race a dragster for a while hat ran low 8's with the smallblock I ran in my street car.
But I still know of at least 2 stock suspntion toyotas that run mid 8's on drag radials in full street trim and one had full power accessories and I think the air conditioning still works.So I dont think I have every racer covered either.
at one point in time I claimed there was no front wheel drive car on the planet that could hang with my stock suspention muscle car.Now I can say that since there are cars out there running mid 8's with front wheel drive.I think a few may be close to the 7 second barrier and doing it on very small tires too.So not all rice is junk,and a lot of it will spank most 454 powered novas with 400 shots.But Keep the faith anyway but dont pick a fight with the wrong import.
Hey nub, you were right about skylines not being made anymore, they were discontinued in 2002, but have you heard of Used Cars? go to skylinegtr.com and you can have one imported, and legalized for the U.S.
Here is a quote from Oct 2003. from A P.
Ok I just bought a 79 vette in real nice condition I want to remove the wimpy 350 and replace it with a 454. In looking around the Toronto area there are no 454 engines for sale, but I have located a few GMC trucks with 454 and the best part is I can buy the whole truck for $500. I take the engine and trany out and scrap the truck. Is there a difference between a truck and car 454 engines. I read some where that the truck engine is a Tall Block " so what does that mean. Thank-you for your feed-back.
Where did the B get dropped into the car? Its still on the floor in a short block.
Duh.

Miscellaneous Stuff and Common Questions
1. Don't try to pretend that you know more than you do.
Admit what you know, and what you don't, and people will be happy to help you learn. Try to show off, and someone who knows 10 times as much as you will make you look like a ******* in front of everybody.
2. Don't use foul language in the tech forums. We're not Mother Teresa here, but when asking or responding to questions in the tech categories, try to keep it PG-13. You can reserve the more casual talk for discussions in the Hotrodders' Lounge, or in the Dump.
3. Stay on topic. A question on gear ratios should not end up as a heated discussion on global politics. You can chit-chat all you like in the Hotrodders' Lounge. The tech forums are for on-topic technical discussions.
4. Use the spell checker.
Well guys to try and save face considering I do not have a woman in my bed these days. I went out last night at the local Tim Hortons coffee shop looking for a ricer to race. Sure enough the parking lot was full of ricers and their boom boxes fart pipes and all. I also noticed some succulent foxy ricer babes, man they were eaten material. Back to racing after buying a coffee I trolled the parking lot and challenging the guys to a few runs Non would have anything to do with such an activity. I thought that was weird. I eventually gave up on a run so I told the guys that I got my doors blown-off by a ricer in my 454 vette. They indicated that they new the ricer that blew the doors off the old vette. The ricer in question had transplanted a 3.4 supercharged Camaro engine in his toyota they said he is the meanest dude in town. No one has even come close to running with that ricer.
So be cool guys yes he did beat an old 454 vette with a few mods But he did it with good old American iron. The horror is a bit less horrifying
I think this is all self evident, but it deserves to be said again, then I won't post on this thread again. I think we should let it slide down into the history threads.
Anyway, nub, you mentioned yourself that this site is for people to get help on their vehicles. Given that, you might as well stop posting here, because most of the guys who know their stuff aren't going to help you anymore. 1BAD is the real deal when it comes to racing. If you hadn't been a jerk and wasted his time, he definitely would have helped you. Trust me, I read him wrong when I first came to this site, and he was more than willing to be the bigger man about it and be cool with me. If you cant get along with 1Bad, its your own fault.
Looks like when you actually do scrape some money together to build something, there'll be nobody here to help ya man.
I know it seems that we may be being jerks about the grammar and stuff, but how do you expect us to help if we cannot understand what you are saying? And honestly, it takes 2 seconds to read over a post before submitting.
Give it up, man! I won´t say anything about your spelling (although using the tool would be better). What I will be saying something about is your attitude.
In case you haven´t got it, it´s not about who has 1.000.000 hp or run the quarter in 3 sec. When you get around to being what you pretend to be, you´ll know. I admit I don´t have a whole lot of personal experience with US classics like my '68 Camaro. To compensate for that I listen to those with experience and read books. But I degress...
My point is that it doesn´t matter if you have a 900hp Nova or not. Throwing bad language and attitude around will not get you anywere.
Oh, I´ve said my part about imports VS US iron but some of my best friends run imports; fast ones. I admire their work and the effort they put into their cars.
You can get a skyline imported to the U.S. I posted the link in one of my earlier posts, they just cost a pretty penny. When they a re brought here, they have parts put on them to make them legal, and the front end is NOT changed. They still have gobs of power, and the all wheel drive helps a lot too. There are a handful of Skylines in the U.S.
on the skylines, you can get it here for enough money, but you can not register it or tag it. the reason is they are right hand drive which the d.o.t. does not recognize as being similar to cars in the us market. it even says so on the site you pointed to. you go to that link and order one up for cost of car, plus 450% of cost of car to Americanize it, then 4 or 5 grand to get it shipped you just dropped a big chunk of change for a car the d.o.t. is gonna say no to. you can get a skyline front clip with the driveshaft and rear differential for less than 5 grand shipped and have a really fast all wheel drive 300 zx that you can tag in non smog states. i have been to some Japanese web sites that sell whole cars cheaper than the motor alone or the clip but they are useless for us in the u.s.
Yes, you do have a idea for discussion, then again it belongs in the General Rodding Forum for chat.
With dreams and other garbage in this entire posting is not solving any problems, as this Forum site is used for.
This posting has been way over due to be moved to another Forum.
