Duane, I'm going to give you some really good advice. Hopefully Brian won't see this post. I'm pretty sure I'm on his ignore list so we should be good to go. The best way to beat Brian out at Vegas is to make sure it's really really hot. I'm almost positive that he'll melt if he get's hit by a ray of sunlight. Here's the proof................:biglaugh:

I haven't found out anything we can use against Shawn yet, but I'm working on it. Everyone's got their weakness.....:evil2:


Dude he looked like a freak umbrella girl standing outside all day at 2k8... :sarcasm:

Good luck Brain, I will be rooting for ya

Well, its not really me you're rooting for. I'm just the crewman/shot-caller/experimenter/cross-country driver in this deal. Its Shawn's car/driving/$ going into this deal with a couple of my donated parts.

I just hope our low-tech, low-$, spare-parts having supra can hang with the million dollar mkIII....and I suspect it will....

You don't beleive Wes do you? I think the dyno operator is just really good at speed shifting.

This should be a great turnout. I only wished my wife and I could make it to see this MKIII carnage. It should definately be the best represented MKIII showing.........ever!

Let us bow our heads........Dear heavenly father, we thank you for your love and for giving us your son who died on the cross for our sins. We ask that you watch over all of these fine people as they journey across this great country of ours and we ask that you keep everyone safe, but above all else father, we ask that you keep the devil and his BHG's as far away from these guys as possible. We ask this in God's name......Amen...........and everybody said Amen........:bowdown:

I asked him point blank if it was an auto or not and he said not........so I'm pretty sure he's just got the smoothest shifting R154 that there ever was.

The car is not an "automatic", I have to shift it manually like you Jay, don't mind these guys.

Jeff, be prepared and go get some track time in. I just hope weather holds up here otherwise my first pass on this new turbo will be in Vegas.

Brian, you guys hitting track tomorrow?

I think its missing a Clutch though and is using a TC in its place as well as only 3 speeds. That dose not make it a manual tranny if all he is doing is hitting the shifter to select the next gear :icon_razz

Edit: If you look close at the pic in Duanes sig, just above the turbine there is the top of a dipstick.

In all honesty, duane does not have enough HP or TQ to warrant going above a TH350, it will rob him of that e-peen viagra, er.... horsepower:biglaugh: Besides I doubt that he would modify his car without telling us what he did:sarcasm:

I cannot wait untill I am one day out playing with the big boys. Unfortunately, I dont think that my MKIII will have a shot at taking any title, at any event anytime soon, if ever. The only chance I have against duane would be a 40-120 pull, off the bottle, him starting in 4th, giving me a car and the hit.

There are other reasons to go beyond the 350... like an overdrive gear for those 130mph freeway cruises.

Not that I'm trying to drop any hints one way or another, I know exactly what's been done to his car. I take bribes, too.
