Million dollar 1913 Peerless roadster blows up on dyno

[Turf1600]

This thread is full of fail.

[GaryE30]

This thread is worthless...

with or without pics.

Jeez!

[joshh]

Uh oh, you said Honda.

And just to make one thing very clear, you have no right to have a different opinion.

[pbr87]

But just because the suspension was shot on the '89 325i 4dr. you drove, doesn't mean all other 4dr's(or properly set up ones) are like that. :D It sounds like TDE30's "I" swapped ETA is a pretty nice driver, and the 4dr. utility factor is undeniable, even if the 2drs are better.


Since the H&R sports, Billies, and M3 sway bar links, urthane subframe & trailing arm bushings, the car has been transformed into an awesome DD. You should drive it when you come down to CT.

Okay Benny. I'll take a hint and shut my mouthpiece about 4drs., despite the fact that a certain black 2dr, turbocharged E30 in Southern CT, owned by a certain North Haven resident, has me convinced that 2dr > 4dr ;) I should drive your 4dr. again.....but the big drawback for me was the feel of the shifter (remember Ben, I'm a fag...I like notchy shifters). BTW...which one has had all that suspension work done (I forget), the blue one or the black one? Because I'm pretty sure I drove the blue one, not the black one. Either way, I'd love to drive it again since the suspension work.

On a different note, one of the people I know up here in NH just got his car back from tuning after ~year long build. He took me for a rip in it....HOLY SHIT THE THING FLIES. Ready for the punchline....





it's coming.....







It's a FUCKING HONDA!!!!11!!!1! Holy shit this thing is quick. You'll probably see the thing in person this summer. All I'm gonna say for now is:
2dr. Integra + $20k in engine work & tuning. And yes, it's got a turbo.

Nice, sounds like a good general DD setup. I have the same H&R Sport on Bilstein Sport setup with mine as well. It's excellent for DD use and the occasional DE. Combined with RD sways, front/rear strut braces, and 15" wheels, it makes for a surprisingly nimble car.

Thanks for your apology. I'm guessing you didn't know that I've driven a 4dr E30 5spd. Oh, I've also drivena 2dr E30. I like the 2dr better And the back seat of an E30 sedan does not rival an E34 or even an E28. And I will buy an E30 when I find one I like for sale (one of the reasons I joined this site).....but not an E30 sedan. Also, I'm pretty sure I can criticize a car after driving it. I don't need to own one to make judgements.

^ yeah. you described it as a hauling vehicle. Personally, I like driving sports cars. But if your a hauler enthusiast, more power to you I guess.

You suck at reading rice killa'. I clearly say that the E30 sedan is not only a great sports saloon, but also very practical and capable hauler if that is what the owner chooses to use it for.

Give up already.

[s0urce]

Wow, Jared is a member of 25 different internet forums. What a tool, he should go back to working at subway.

[pbr87]

I am so subscribed to this shit, because from what I can tell, it seems as if you bitched to the RiceKiller mod about someone saying shit about him.

Fucking pathetic.

I called the E30 sedan a hauling vehicle? Well pardonne moi, I thought I said it was practical and functional for when I needed to haul shit to and fro. You have never made sense to me, from the Z32 v. E30 thread until now.

Yes, I respect Jared and he does have a good reputation to maintain as the site owner of RKC. I thought he should know about people misunderstanding his video(s), and getting the wrong impression about him. And I did not "bitch to him", I actually described this thread to him, and I apologized to him for unintentionally getting him involved. If you're really interested, I'll cut and paste the PM I sent him. To my knowledge, no-one else on RKC knows.

I mean you should buy it and use it on a day-to-day basis, hauling shit to and fro....

[TDE30]

Yes, I've driven one.
And No thanks to buying an E30 sedan as a "hauling vehicle" I've got my civic for "hauling shit". If I really wanted to "haul" alot of shit "to and fro", I'd buy a pickup truck or a van. The more you post, the less sense you make to me.

Never got that email.

But you got my PM ;)


Oh, by the way....you should probably keep your distance from me, because apparently all Z-owners are cocky fucktards.

[pbr87]

Whoa Whoa Jeezus.

You mean you drove said E30 sedan too! When I say you should buy one, I mean you should buy it and use it on a day-to-day basis, hauling shit to and fro. You clearly haven't, so you clearly have no idea what you are talking about (outside of basic Z-car stuff.)

DIAF.

[Bakushan]

god i agree. thats the first thing i clicked on. hes on 25 forums. can you imagine this tools social life?
i feel like a loser for being on 2 1/2
im going to email him

Never got that email.

:)

I guess this would be forum #26 I am a member of. I suppose I need to update my lists.

I am saddened to see that this thread went so terribly off topic without any moderation, I suppose that is the OP's fault for not putting it in the correct forum.

My "Introduction Video" was a way for me to encourage (or annoy) people into creating an account on my site. As you can see with nearly 13,000 members it has not be an unsuccessful campaign.

Regardless, surely you must have figured that I dont actually maintain "active" accounts on 25 forums, but I am registered. My social life, you have no idea, I work 50 hours a week for a LeMans race team, and thats before I even touch 1 of the now "26" web forums I am a member of, while also attending 6 cars meets a week.

This is my first and last post on this site, so an email will be necessary to get ahold of me. Your witty remark wont be read by me so we will see who has the "social life" by who has the time to write a response to a man who will never read it.

The thread is indeed of an extraordinary nature, but if it is not of your interest, then you should keep your off-topic remarks for another thread. This derailment is a text-book example of a site full of cliques and immature members. I am sure there are many among you who are mature and would not act in the way that the few have in this thread, so I dont speak to them or the owners of this site whom I am sure are decent and honest people.

You all have no idea how hard it is to manage a large web community.

Respect your moderators and admins, they are here for you.

As for me, I will keep doing what I do best.


Cheers,
