ROTY- SEMI-FINALS Match #1 Nate - kwnate Vs. Kenneth - tookwik4u89

[kwnate]

I case you guys forgot Click on the picture for a video



Heres where the straps break and the suspension gets tweaked. It was much more exciting in person (in the car especially)

The young man standing next to the car at the end is Gage (lowbudgettarga) May he rest in Peace



And finally, I live my life a quatermile at a time, for those 15 seconds or a little bit more I'm free!! Long story short, the clutch welded to the flywheel on the launch leaving me to shift like a dumptruck. Got to bed at 5am that night
(sorry about the camera man...) 540rwhp 92 octane 20psi.

 

[tookwik4u89]

You guys are hilarious I guess my 15 second drag run will come up soon too :biglaugh:

HAHA...I was being nice, you got me by 100HP, I got you by 3 seconds....lol

I was gonna post my drag run where I whooped a Mustang, but I guess its not that impressive beating a Mustang.....and I cant figure out how to download, my camcorder sux.

 

[kwnate]

HAHA...I was being nice, you got me by 100HP, I got you by 3 seconds....lol
.

149hp to be exact, but whos counting :icon_bigg 667rwhp here, 509rwhp for you. I guess thats a lot of the reason we're here!!

My sig on SF is 2 more hp then Duane, his is 2 less hp then Nate 4 seconds faster 1/4 mile :icon_razz

I'll be back!!

 

[tookwik4u89]

I stand corrected....lol, the dyno is a trip, it scared the hell outta me, I've only been once. They had a hard time getting it right because it wanted to kick down, which is scary on the dyno, now I know for next time I need to unplug the ect ecu. How much boost was that on the dyno Nate?

BTW, I had clutch probs like that when I was 5 speed, I had RPS 6 puck and heavy pressure plate, 1 day at the track and it was junk. And it was not all that much HP then. I beat it good though.

 

[kwnate]

27psi for the 667. I'll push it further this year :naughty:

I'm done with clutch problems... I'll get a tilton this year and be done with it.

I don't care for driving my car on the dyno, its scary going 135mph standing still...

 

[starscream5000]

I've got to give my vote to Ken, one of the newest big HP supras out there.... Go Ken!

[upgradedsupra]

I've got to give my vote to Ken, one of the newest big HP supras out there.... Go Ken!

Remember that it goes to a well rounded car that has it all. Not just the newest big HP. Nate's car has brakes (both front and rear 4piston), built engine, a LOT of custom work, and many attn to detail portions. 2Quick does have some good stuff but Nate has more.

Edit: Just for the record...Nate is also a new member of big hp :biglaugh:

Good luck to both!

Duane

 

[kylefoto]

Gotta go with Nate.
You got a beautiful car Ken,
but I love Nate's set up and color scheme he's got goin

 

[MKIII VIXEN]

Both cars are awesome, but there is just something about a blue Supra..

 

[tookwik4u89]

wned:

Duane has a point, but when this car is done, the blue man group will all bow down and kiss my ring!!!

But I spend money wisely, who needs big brakes to stop a 15 second car:biglaugh:

LOL














You know I just tease KWN!

 

[kwnate]

wned:

It's still early Ken, 5 more days of sweating it... I'm probably just as nervous as I would be if the votes were switched.
















ps, big brakes are good to have, saved me twice already

 

[tookwik4u89]

ps, big brakes are good to have, saved me twice already

I want them cuz they look sweet......lol

I have a pile of rotors from cars I parted to last me til I get Arz kit next summer.:icon_razz

 

[kwnate]

HIGH FIVE!

 

[ForcedTorque]

I wish I would have had big brakes...........but I still don't think they would have helped. 60' to react AND stopped is still a pretty tall order. But, brakes are definitely going to be a part of the rebuild.

 

[tookwik4u89]

SOOOOO...I was just realizing, this will leave a 3 car matchup for the final round......Interesting!

 

[ForcedTorque]

Ya, I was wondering where I could find a 3-headed coin just the other day. It's a sweet group of 6, so the final is gonna really be tough.

 

[Facime]

This whole thread is the blue man group already, where are all my red brothers when I need them, I think i'm gonna cry:cry:


I have to admit of the semi finals listed this one in particular is the hardest to decide on. Both cars are fantastic. Performance, styling, overall appearance time invested, attention to detail....they all are almost a dead even split for me. Nate is a NW guy and Tookwik is representing the RSC (Red Supra Contingent)....so it comes down to one final deciding factor....



Too many blue cars won RotM, Gotta give this one to Tookwik!
I got your back Brother!

RED POWER!



















:biglaugh:

 

[tookwik4u89]

[kwnate]

I do, looks like no Weezl wings for me :icon_razz Kidding of course.

Ken to me its still a close race. There is plenty of time left, I just hope I can hold you off
