Nice! hehe I figured other Se7en owners would have done the same and posted pics by now. *shrug*

A little lower on all of the shots and we would have a time lapse view of your gas gauge. Beautiful contrast in the pictures with the red car and yellow stripe. Looks like you had fun!

Beautiful car! I'm used to seeing the S2000 valve cover poking out of the hood on other Se7ens.

Sorry for the confusion, but I use ePerfect.net for (hosting) all my domains. If they don't work out you could try 1and1.com.

I see you are using DNSExit right now. I haven't heard of them. I use ePerfect.net for my domains. If they don't work out (pricewise) for you I would try http://www.1and1.com maybe. Good luck!

I wholeheartedly agree: Keep top speed on the track. Acceleration is okay as long as the road is clear of traffic, pedestrians, cops, pets, wild animals, potential witnesses, etc. No top speed run yet as I've only run an autox so far.

Lmao!

Holy crap that made my morning. Back to sleep I go! (nightshift sucks!)

No rain in Louisiana the last few days. Sometimes it's best to not trust the weather people. The only job in the world you can be wrong every single day of your career and still keep your job. No offense to any meteorologists here or nothin'.

To prepare for my newest work schedule, 6pm-7am, I decided to go hang out with the street racers last night in a parking lot alongside the interstate. I watched the races before calling it a night at 5am. I showed off a little getting on the interstate. After hitting the limiter in first while spinning the Falken's I shot a few fireballs out of the exhaust, I grabbed second, third, and fourth before shutting down at 100mph. She definitely rolls out much better with the low temperatures Louisiana had last night. It's also nice to know that I'm probably the fastest car in the parking lot.

Damn!

Found more inspiration: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd280/Bailor_AM_Special/competitor%20cars/van11lowres.jpg See, still street legal! haha! http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd280/Bailor_AM_Special/competitor%20cars/sharkhill.jpg http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd280/Bailor_AM_Special/competitor%20cars/van2.jpg http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd280/Bailor_AM_Special/competitor%20cars/sharkbackquarter.jpg

Oh my god, this is so badass! (almost everytime I let somebody sit in the driver's seat)

Well, when I ran on Labor Day the SCCA had me run in B-Mod which is pretty much the highest class for a vehicle with my displacement. The A-Mod guy had a bigger engine. That means the sky is the limit. Hell, I could have vacuum-assisted ground effects like the Chapparal 2J back in the day at Laguna Seca.

I competed a LONG time ago against an A-Mod machine that had a Polaris snowmobile engine, custom tube chassis, and a HUGE dirt track (Sprint car?) wing on top. Guy won every single race until his wife blew the motor up with a missed shift. Didn't see him after that. Funniest thing was when we had to wait out a rainstorm during an autocross. He was all smiles waiting in his car out of the rain under the wing. Once the storm was over he cranked up to get ready to run next and when he started to move forward the wing dumped a few gallons of water on him. haha! Question: Would it be beneficial at all to run a Sprint car style wing on top of my MEGABUSA's rollcage for autox duty? I know autocrosses are typically low speeds, but surely it helped the A-Mod guy? Not sure what mph those large wings kick in at. I'm sure it would work for roadcourse duties just fine. I would obviously need to work on the proper angles and what not. Checked the wonderful internet and a wing can be had for $400-600. I'm willing to give it a shot. Hell, it will be removable! Your thoughts? Here's quick photoshops for laughs and/or ideas. http://www.hanksmegabusa.com/images/megabusa-sprintcarwing1.jpg http://www.hanksmegabusa.com/images/megabusa-sprintcarwing2.jpg http://www.hanksmegabusa.com/images/megabusa-sprintcarwing3.jpg Hell, this setup is working beautifully for time attack on Chris Rado's FWD beast and most people thought it wouldn't work because it was different. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads15/scion+tc+race+car+with+front+wing1248450156.jpg

Alaskossie, Quick rundown of the two cars: Cosworth Evo Difference Length 165.74 in. 178.5 in. EVO 12.76 inches longer! Width 68.5 in. 69.7 in. EVO 1.2 inches wider Height 53.5 in. 57.1 in. EVO 3.6 inches taller Weight 2998 lb 3018 lb Not much here I found the generic Cosworth info: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Escort_RS_Cosworth"]here[/url]. I found the generic EVO info: [url="http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=109126/pageId=68445"]here[/url]. (weight above was my specific car)

286 HP 289 lb-ft torque 3018 lb (jack and spare removed, 1/4 tank gas) RS (nicknamed "really stripped!" by me) gets no ABS, no radio, no sound deadening, no power door locks or windows, no cruise control, no rear wing or rear wiper, but it gets A/C. Both the Base Evo and RS get a 5 speed tranny. The MR edition had a 6 speed, but I was told they overheated and died on lapping day events.

To clarify my original post I said a guy "looks gay" in a Miata. He could be the straightest guy on earth, the Dugger dad for instance fathering all 19-20-21 of those kids depending on what week we're in, but when he gets behind the wheel of the Miata he will definitely look gay. Once he gets out of the Miata the generalization is gone. Second to that is a Neon. Ending the gay debate is *gasp* an article I found searching google for keywords like "what car makes me look gay". Seriously. Here's what I found: the Top 10 Most Researched Vehicles by Gay Men, 2nd Quarter 2009. Back to topic: I almost had the pleasure of driving a Noble at the Carlisle kit car nationals a few years ago. I signed the waiver and just before I was going to drive it out of the barn it started to rain. The salesman promptly took the keys from me. Top #5 for me: 1. 2009 Westfield Megabusa - it's different, power/weight, turns heads (own it now) 2. 2006 EVO IX RS - only 300 or so made, autox/track day potential (owned one 2008) 3. 2004 Mustang Cobra - dragstrip potential (owned one 2005-2007) 4. 2006 Ford GT - sat in and cranked one, OMG! Drool. 5. 1996 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo - fantasy car

If it was a gay list I would definitely put Miata at #1. No guy looks heterosexual in a Miata. Period. Two guys in a Miata is just wrong.

I'm running a 2 piece Bailey Morris driveshaft setup with a center carrier bearing. I had to fabricate my own cross member out of 2x2x1/4" Aluminum. The rear diff to center bearing driveshaft run is pretty darn flat and parallel to the chassis rails. The output shaft to center bearing is at a slight angle which mimics the output shaft to reverse box angle this setup replaced. I bolted the driveshaft at each end and I found a happy medium in the middle of the driveshaft tunnel as well as keeping the driveshaft level. The engine is rigidly mounted as is the rear diff. If it was a solid axle Mustang with an engine that rocked back I would have positive/negative angles cancelling each other out. Not much flex in the Megabusa.

That's funny I don't care who you are. My favorite one is: "I'm a rice farmer because potatoes make your butt big" or something like that.

Let us estimate that bucket to be 100 cubic yards. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet 100 cubic yards = 2700 cubic feet Water = 62.4 pounds per cubic foot 2700 cubic feet x 62.4 lb/cf = 168,480 lb of water However, not all of the water hit the car.

Definitely a close one. Maybe he should have backed up once he taxied to the end of the runway to allow more runway length to take off. Probably can't back up on his own though.

Diggin' the pics, Andrew. Can you tell a difference with the rear wing at speed? Lastly, maybe NSFW for the wording on the wing? Love it though!

If it gets me a cookie or anything I used to own a modded WRX. http://www.rufridr.com/wrx.htm Nobody got the license plate.
