This one is for you Louie haters out there...

[XakEp]

You all know who are! Well, if you'll recall the saga that Louie (aka IRACEIT aka BOOSTNITUP) has been going through. He's been claiming that he'll do this, do that and generally blow the doors off of the Space Shuttle.

Well, He got his 60-1 turbo and put it on... Tuned it... Raced it...

And he ran a 15 @ 94 MPH.

Because he forgot to attach the "ground strap"... Sure.

That is all, you can all return to your regularly scheduled heckling.

By comparison, I rule!

I know Louie and I know Xakep.

Yes, it is sad what Louie has done to us fellow TB guys.

It wouldn't have mattered if Louie was a NORMAL person and didn't talk a big game.

But he did... and there are stock Civics with Nitrous that are running faster than he is now.

Sad but true!

GN138 - I really have to race you now... The car is running REALLY well... Heh heh heh...

 

[GN138]

Dude...I'm done with cars. At least my GN for awhile.

I ain't even going to try..too much stress!

We gotta hook up and hang out though!

I'll bite...

Xageek is my personal troll in a box.

I was running 14.3 at 99 mph on 235/60/15 street radials as of a month ago. I added a 60-1 turbo and was having plenty of fun with the car till I blew a headgasket with it a week before the Rocky mountain Buick GS Club event.

Instead of throwing in the towel and calling it quits for the year I ordered a set of Felpro 1200 intake gaskets which Ramchargers sent to me overnight. (They get a serious hoorah from me) They didn't have any in stock and made the effort to find me a set anyways, and did not charge me an overnight express charge.

I had little to no time to work on the car, and I made it an all night thrash to swap the head gaskets/intake gaskets and get the car operational again. I got the GN running 45 minutes before the event was to conclude it's time trials. I hopped into the car and drove it 38 miles to the Pueblo, Colorado track. No chance to test and tune it on any back roads, and it was definitely a blind effort after all the hours of wrenching. Yup... I forgot to install a couple ground straps, and anytime the car went into boost above 2,750 rpm it would pops and miss and choke all over itself.

Regardless I had a great time...

I also have a DSM troll that follows Louie wherever he goes... you can call him Louie's Troll in a Box. The ground strap isn't an issue anymore... and I'll now pound on every Eclipse owner I see at a stop light with a huge smile.

Pickin' on Louie is usually fun, but this one's pretty lame. Sounds like he put in a lot of last minute work. How many people can change headgaskets and get everything back together 100% on the first try.


Give him a break. He put in the effort.




I agree with Louie. (Did I just say that? ) Anybody making this their first post or logging in under an alias is a troll.

 

[ChrisCairns]

I agree Mr. B4.

Louie, ya done good and anyone that works that hard to race deserves a few kudos.

While we're discussing Louie.....

I don't know him, never met him, never even exchanged any emails with him but from what I've read here about what he's said and what's been said about him, I've got to give him some more kudos for the size of his balls. He's stood up to many many people and taken it and given it. I admire that.

I have no idea what happened in the chat room that gets everyone so angry, but a lot of what Louie says about chat rooms is correct. There are cliques and if you ain't in one you're an outsider and will be treated that way.

Saaaay, anyone up for a discussion about chatrooms?? We haven't had one for months.....

Kudos to Louie...

With that thrash, Just to get running should be some kind of award, ESPECIALLY a "hot air" car....

Don't you start.

 

[IRACEIT]

I feel the love

The '84 has been converted to the '87 setup.

I'll admit I have been picking on the DSM camp pretty hard. They deserve to get no respect... the Rodney Dangerfield's of the automotive world. The last Eclipse I picked on I literally put bus lengths on the poor guy. This is after he asked for the abuse.

I have offered Xageek gas money down, and back up to Denver. Instead of taking up my "Going fast with class" offer and getting some of his buddies to tow his 4 cylinder weedwhacker down here in one of their car carriers he follows me around as my own personal troll. I'm honored that I have my own personally assigned heckler. It used to be the #BuickGN crowd (they must not have the available free time anymore... they probably found out that toilet paper and toothpaste costs $$$$)

Oh yeah... what about that chat room?

This is the funniest damn thread I've read in MONTHS! hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You guys are too much!
