no offense, but if your getting speeding tickets your probably doing something wrong. if you must, get a radar detector. but find a local track that you can drive at, you would probably enjoy it.

yeah tahts true i gotta get a radar and stuff soon enough like i asid i just bought it and im just slowly progressing from here its only goign to get better and also my speedometer only reads 180km/h? but im 100% sure it goes way faster than that i gotta get that all upgraded as well

you sure it isnt 180mph? i think thats what the speedos go to

[1993suprawr]

naw it says 180km/h and i know im going the right speed cause of other cars next to me so yeah it might be a stock one from japan pretty sure

This is my last post on this thread. Sorry to the OP that I am off topic. I can Phil can fill you in much better than I do.

It's 180km for sure because it's a JDM. Actually, that's all it has, unlike the USDM and CDM models.

Phil, I do respect you, lots as a matter of fact. You try to help and give advice as much possible as you can. That's a perfect Mod. However, what I disagree with 1993suprawr is posting up to get advice on how to modify his car for street racing.

i've smoked every car i raced so far

Since street racing is illegal, I don't think any forum should accept that (street racing).

1993suprawr, I do respect your honesty too by coming here asking for advice to modify your car as daily driver and street racer. Take care of yourself and the others that share the road with you, your Supra and the Viper. Hope you learn and turn out to be "ok".

mnewxv:

BINGO! Well said.

peace

[1993suprawr]

haha hmm okay then? well im just asking for help but if thats too much cause i want to race? then i guess i can just go to shops and ask around..but okay then

Agreed....but:
1) We don't know those races didn't take place on a track or an abandoned airstrip, etc. Either way, the best course of action here is not to keep digging into it. Personally, I really don't want to know - it doesn't help the discussion here at all. Again, I agree that if street racing is specifically mentioned as a venue, then this forum does have to come out strongly against it.
2) We have one opportunity here to influence 1993suprawr here, and we'll loose that opportunity if we turn him away and refuse to work with him at all. Like I said, we want to help him safely modify his Supra, and then if he wants to compete with it, we can encourage him and the guy who owns the viper to do it at a local track, with fire trucks and ambulances waiting, and no spectators along the side of the road to get schmushed.

Long story short, officially street racing is a bad thing. Beyond that, the less it is discussed, the better. As a request to everyone on this thread, let's drop that part of the discussion.
