Grrrr....3000GT VR4 on MY AZZ!!!

[ArchangelX]

This isn't exactly a racing thread....because I didn't do any racing. :( This is kinda a racing/forced induction/vent thread, so I figured I'd just put it in general discussion. But feel free to move it if necessary.

I had a fugging VR4 ALL OVER MY AZZ....and couldn't get rid of him...not that I had a chance.

I took my wife to Emerald Queen Casino tonight, just for giggles. I had spent half the day washing, waxing, and prepping my car. I put in some Denso Iridiums in for my nitrous setup, and also lubed up my shifter linkage.

Everything was good....so go to the casino, eat a burger and fries, watch my wife blow 40 buckaroos on slots (we're still in a positive streak of about 3,600..so that's alright), and then jump in the car for a nice ride home.

Welps....I get on I5 and head back, I'm about to the 38th street exit, and I'm trying to jump over to the right to exit, cuz theres heavy traffic, and lo and behold, I see the projected headlights of a Black 3000GT (at least it looked that color) right on my ass.

So I totally ignore him, because I don't have my kit on, and I'm really just chilling with my wife. And dammit...he's REALLY on my ass. We're going about 70, and although stuff like that usually doesn't get to me, let me put it this way:

He was so damn close I couldn't see his license plate.

So that just plain ticked me off, but unfortunately, I just wasn't set right at the time. I was trying to drink a coke, my seat was laid back all comfortable, I was in 6th gear, and the N20 switch was about as far away as it could possibly be.

I was like Biggs in Star Wars...stuck in a trench, nowhere to go, and Darth Vader on my ass like a biatch...

It had to be a VR4, cuz he was on me like glue....it's one thing to race a person side by side, but it's totally different to have him hanging on your azz like a crack fiend looking for a hit.

So I manage to drop the coke, hit the switch and put myself in a position to get the hell outta there...mind you I'm only running a 35 shot...I don't know if he sensed my plans or whatever, but I went WOT and dammit....I really didn't see him go anywhere that quickly...more like watching a drop of water fall from the ceiling.

Mind you, I wasn't able to really concentrate, and I only dropped down into 4th gear, so I really didn't have much of a surge...I just slowly sped up and away from him...after a few seconds I realized he was exiting, and I let up off the gas. The thing that really got me after that, was as he was exiting, he sped up to get right beside me....

I wanted to flip him off but I was too busy trying get my f'ing bearings... :angry:

My wife laughed at his azz, because we did leave him behind, but she really didn't realize how horribly slow we were in comparison. I really think the guy could have ate me, if he hadn't have been exiting. :(

At least I felt that way.....which is what has got me thinking...

I've got to move up my shot...cuz the 35 just didn't cut it tonight. I've put the Densos in...and my car is tuned for nitrous now...so dangit...should I go to the 50, a 60 or crank it all the way up to 75....

I don't use the crap that much, just in situations like that...and mostly on the highway getting away from idiots.

And has anyone ever had something like that happen, what in hell did you do?

I'm sorry if I sound a bit p'od..but I was quite frustrated at the time, and it really ticked me off... :bang:

Grrr....what'cha think, guys?

I know exactly how you're feeling tonight I was at a stoplight turning left light changed i go and notice an integra behind me he stomped the gas through the turn and got right on my ass i took my exit and so did he.still on my ass Im doin 60 in 4th and stomp on it hit lift look back and he's dissapearing in my mirror then after i hit about 90 i slow back down to 65 he comes flying by me like he was really beating me.Pisses me of when people ride my ass i just spray my windshield wiper fluid and it gets their car dirty
As for the nitrous try the 50 but id go for the 75 the 35 is good for getting the feel of it

Need to add a different sprayer in the rear for Wiper fluid. Really spray down there car. That would be kinda fun. Like mace for highway driving.

[M SPEC]

Should've down shifted/doubled clutched to 3rd if going about 60mph and then sprayed the nitrous. Be on 2nd cam and n2o instantly for better acceleration. No wonder you thought it felt a bit slow trying to pull away from him in 4th.

Oh well, take the next step and jump to the 50Hp nozzle. I'd be a bit hesitant using a 75Hp shot on the 2ZZ-GE without dyno tuning. Need to see if spark plugs, fuel system and a/f ratio are suitable for your application. Almost approaching 20Hp per cyclinder recomendation/rule of thumb by Nitrous Express.

Ya...I knew what I did wrong...4th gear really wasn't what I wanted to put the car in, but like I said, I was all out of it...it was really a surreal experience...

But I really think that the guy was being an ass..

Ironicaly i was racing a vr4 last night..it belongs to a friend...My friend ike has a 96 cobra svt,and he was about to race it...when i pulled behind the vr4 another friend(that doesnt knoe jack**** about cars asked me what i was doin..i told her i was gonna race with them..She F***in laighed at me!!pissed me off. WE raced ,i was riding side by sie with the vr4 but he would lay off the gas and fall back..so id fall back..then get on it....back and forth.u get the pic.Its an impressive car but i do think i silenced my dumfounded friend who underestimated my lil red machine.:fawk:

[elektrobeatz]

Sorry to hear that........... we're not all bad!! :wave:
You just happened to meet an ass........

[Need4Spd]

Well i hate to underestimate the lil red machine as well.. but unless the VR4 had a flat tire, he couldn't have had the car at WOT. Sorry, but I just don't believe that our celi's can keep up with a VR4. Maybe he's lying and just slapped a VR4 badge on his 3000GT.. or maybe he really doesnt know how to drive.

Well man.. what can I say... that sh!t will happen once in a while. Although I never understood tailgating someone so closely... some people do it cause they think they are badasses or something.... if he drives like that... look at it this way.. he.. or his car, won't be around for long. ;)

[ArchangelX]

Oh...I know..I should have used a different smiley face...I don't think that one made me look like I was joking....

:monkey:

As long as he doesn't end up on my rear (like the cherokee lady), I'm all good, it just really annoyed me....as it would I imagine anyone else.

It's like having one of those little ricer boyz trying to show off and getting on your azz...only this one actually had a car to back it up...

That's the worst kind.

Considering the VR-4 is a 6-cyl. *twin* turbo @ 320 HP plus it can be modded do to better and it costs 45K in stock form, you did pretty well for a 4-banger.

Alas...I must Ditto that Ditto.

But I plan on running a 50 shot next time someone does something like that again...and I'm either gonna hit the switch or brake. :D
