Man, those wheels are t3h s3x!!1!!

 

[Andrew]

good luck at the races!

Thanks man! I hope I don't break anything! haha

 

[Andrew]

Well, the drag races sucked.... basically me and my dad hop in my car at 3:00 and get back at 12:00/midnight, and all we ended up doing was going to hooters...

Races were canceled b/c of rain.... BOOOO florida summer rains!!!

but today was pretty fun, I got my RC car running pretty good (HPI Nitro RS4 '2')

Heres a few shots from the races-

Heres my setup. Gotta represent Honda y0! haha

Oh and btw, yes, it's in a Home Depot parking lot... haha every 3rd Saturday of the month is "race" day, and 2 Wednesday's of the month are practices.

[mac_24_seven]

Well I most certainly don't think he walked on me on the 20 MPH roll, did he
?

 

[eg6sir]

haha.. JFWY

 

[mac_24_seven]

Gotcha
ANd Ihad to figure out what JFWY meant

Ole Andrew better watch out too Next time we run buddy, it's not gonna be so close

 

[eg6sir]

i wanna run you guys.. but i'm on the other side of the country

 

[Andrew]

This is the Internet. Just say your faster<insert figurative period here> and thats all that matters.

heh

 

[Andrew]

I've got a suprise coming for you guys...

Heres a teaser:

(most importantly)

 

[formby]

NICE! I always wanded one of those. ever since i saw the blue one in honda tuning mag.


what are the plans?

 

[Andrew]

Swap the B16 thats in it into my rex, and swap the brakes over to mine(since it's the EX = bigger brakes)

I'm buying it this week

 

[formby]

are you selling the D?

 

[mac_24_seven]

The red fuel door matching the red hood is baller man.

I think I'm gonna do that with my GSR


Hey guys, talk em into upgrading cams while before he swaps it in the REX

 

[Andrew]

I'm not planning on selling my motor anytime soon. I'll keep it as a backup or something.

I'd love to put some bolt on's before it goes in the car. I don't know if I can stand to wait a couple weeks to buy I/H/cams, but we'll see.

I'm setup to meet Emily (thats "Scooby" to Terrance) on Wednesday after work.
Giggity giggity goooooooo

 

[mac_24_seven]

Awesome mang.

So you got the funds from Derek I assume? If not, I haven't had to break any knee caps in a while....

 

[klyph]

Awesome, why not swap the D into that new POS?

 

[Andrew]

Haha... well, it's crossed my mind... but I don't think I'll even bother to insure it, let alone put my fresh D into it...
I think I'll let Terrance paint it. He wants to get into painting, and this is perfect practice, and if he can afford the paint, I'm sure he'll love to lay down some good ol wet stuff.

Heres some more pics of it:

 

[mac_24_seven]

Hmmnnn..... I like that idea

A few cans of spray paint and we'll be good to go!
