[Toasty]

So I'm sitting at my computer, being a lazy *** like I do very day, right? Then my sister starts nagging me to take the dog for a walk (I don;t really mind, other than I'm incredibly lazy, and he likes to take dunps in other people's yards which I'm too lazy to clean up). Well it's 100 degrees outside, so I decide to wait a bit (not exactly safe for either one of us, especially since we don't have any water bottles and there's not a lot of shade around here). I finally take my dog for a walk barefoot, since I've been too lazy to put on shoes for the past few days now (it's actually pretty awesome to just walk around barefoot), and the sidewalk is so hot, that by the time I've made it around the block back to my house, I have blisters on my feet.

BLISTERS.

HOSHI-WTFAMIRITE?

So that's it. Pretty much. Kinda hurts to walk now.



Still not going to wear shoes though.

[Split Infinity]

Should have walked on your heels. :(

*******.

[Toasty]

I don't really have anything to clean it up with though. But I try to keep him off people's lawns because of it. It's not like he stops on every lawn every time we go on a walk to take a dump either, though I've considered just taking him down to the park instead. It's just that he runs off to say hi to people no matter how many times I tell him to stay by me. It's nothing bad, it's just annoying.
But he's not really that disobedient. He never just takes off somewhere or runs away, so he doesn't really need a leash anymore.

[Eugine]

Funny Toasty.

Do I have any funny stories to tell? hm... Don't think so.

[Split Infinity]

How about the time you got all worked up over me calling some guy a suicidal freak?

[Eugine]

Oh, yeah. I will never forget those insolent words >_<
And I was talking about today specifically.

[Toasty]

He's only done it twice! I swear!


......QUIT GLARING AT ME! *runs and cries*

[Blue]

Toasty you have a car now, just put the dog on a skateboard and drive down the road and back.

[Toasty]

Don't have a license yet. =/ For now, my dad drives it to work. I have to get a job, good grades, and be on school on time for a few months before I can even go get my license. Basically, some time next year.

But my mom's walked the dog by driving the BMW down the street. He stays on the sidewalk for the most part.

[Blue]

Man, being a lazy *** must be genetic. xD

[Toasty]

XD

...hey, wait a minute.....


HEY!

[Split Infinity]

Toasty can't get his license, suffaaah...

[Toasty]

Neither can you.

....At least as far as I know.

[Lightning Star]

OOOOR better yet, put yourself on a skateboard and have your dog pull you :(

They do that in the movies all the time, y'know!

*waves driving test preparation booklet*

[Toasty]

....dang...

[Blue]

I've already got mine so you can both be quiet.

[Split Infinity]

It doesn't matter anyway, my parents are never letting me drive their cars. :'(

[Toasty]

Well this one's technically mine. My dad bought it with the mindset that I'd get it someday. And like my sister, I'll be helping with fixing it up (one of the holes in the metal floor that's used to bolt down the driver seat has been torn through, so my dad's picking up a piece of steel to patch it).

I hate how people think I'm rich or spoiled though. I mean, I understand that a lot of teenagers have to pay for their own car, but I have friends who's families bring in just a little over half of what we do, and ther parents are willing to help them.

The deal with our family is that my dad is willing to pay up to $5000 on a car, and he'll help us fix it. But we have to pay for the gas, insurance, tires, maintanance, etc. by ourselves.

[Someone Else]

Toasty is awesome

Cos Australia isn't dumb enough to give 16 YO's a full-unsupervised licence. Idiots.

Anyway, driving is fun :(

[Split Infinity]

There was a news story a couple of weeks ago about some fifteen year old whose dad let him take the wheel for 'practice'. He managed to pin a toddler up against a post. :S

[Eugine]

Well, he's not 16.

[Split Infinity]

What's your point? The fact that he was 15 only makes it worse.

[My Best Wishes]

What suburb was the guy from?
My dad used to take me driving at 14, but then again, I'm good at driving. :(

[Eugine]

Why did you tell that story?

[Split Infinity]

He must have been a shocking driver though. It's not ultra difficult to make your way out of a carpark without killing someone.

u is ritch nd spoiled kthxbai

[Toasty]

But our only car that's worth more than $8000 is my dad's truck. D:

@WD: I know. :D

[Blue]

What ever, my car was only 2500 and still has the same horsepower as yours
xD

[Toasty]

Dang....XD


Oh yeah?! Well....well....Well mine's a Porsche! BEAT THAT!

[Blue]

Mines a Mazda RX-7. Rotary ftw.
Oh, and I can atleast drive my car.

[Drizzy Drake]

I like the RX-7. Come down to Ontario, we'll race.

[Blue]

Its the 2nd gen, what car do you have again?

[Toasty]

A brand new Mitsubishi Lancer.

I think.

Anyway, my dad's already repaired a few small problems with the car (it's a 944, so that's bound to happen), and the carpet's been pulled from it so we can clean it and stain it in a darker color (it looks pretty bad right now).

[Blue]

Unfortunately I don't have the money to fix my car up. My poor baby. T_T

[Toasty]

Get a turbo!

[Blue]

Not right now. The engine is too old for me to just slap a turbo on it. What I plan on doing is getting this: http://rx7.com/store/rx7/fcengine.html

Quote

If more than 300hp is desired, we highly recommend our 3mm prepared motor. The 3mm seals are inherently 75% stronger than its 2mm counterpart. With its increased strength, a 3mm motor has more tolerance to detonation. A further benefit with the 3mm motor is that it has no increase in its wear characteristics. Our 3mm motors go through a rigorous prep and machine process. The tolerances demanded by our 3mm motors are +/-0.0005" cut with a state-of-the-art CNC machine. In real world terms, 0.0005" is half as thick as a piece of paper.

Another factor to consider is whether porting is necessary; and if porting is performed, what type of porting is preferred. First off, let’s consider what the advantage of porting is. Basically, engine porting allows the engine to breathe easier. And for a vehicle that spends any amount of time driven on the streets, a street port is the only option. While there are numerous porting techniques, our proprietary street porting technique is the only one we consider mild enough for the car to be driven on the street in a civil manner without any loss in power.

Our basic porting procedures are to reshape and retime intake and exhaust ports, smooth out runners and flow volumes are matched from port to port. With a street port, more power can be made with less boost. Boost indicates resistance to flow and less restriction will allow more volume of air without impediment. Always keep in mind “balance in all things”. Over-porting will reduce power. So much overlap may occur that parasitic losses make the engine slower than stock.

We believe that we at Rotary Performance, builds the most reliable engines. The reasons are two-fold: with a combined 30 years of experience and 2 world drag racing championships. Every motor we build go through a rigorous inspection of parts before, during, and after it’s installed. After the final build of the motor, we test the fresh motor on an engine test stand where we can diagnose problems before the motor is installed. This final quality control process is unique to us and it helps ensure the best quality motors.

I'll add a turbo to that.

[Toasty]

The 944 had three engine models. A 2.5 Liter, a 2.7, and a 3 liter. I believe the 3 Liter was found in the 944S2, so it also had a turbo in it. I'd like to get a hold of a 968 engine though. Not sure if it'll fit, but the 968 was the 944's sucessor so.....

http://www.pistonhea...sp?storyId=7895

THAT'S what I'd like to do to my 944. Not likely though. D: There's some pretty expensive parts in that monster. It says it was built for 6000 euro's, but the guy who built it had connections.

[Blue]

Very nice indeed. Now I just need to get my drafting job and I can get to work on my car.

[Toasty]

I'd work at the local Gamestop, but I don't know anyone there, and they're all like 19 or something.

I should've just put in my application for the aquatic center a month ago, dangit. D: The concession stand is supposed to pay fairly well for a first time job.

Yeah, because that would be a totally fair race. xD

[Drizzy Drake]

Come on, just bet a measly 10 grand. You could win. XD.

[Blue]

Yeah, 291 hp versus 150
Real fair. xD

[Drizzy Drake]

So you're not dumb. :unsure:. Damn, I thought I could pull that one off. Too bad you're not Caael.

[Blue]

Yeah seriously. xD
Don't worry though, one day my car will be ready for a race. Just gotta poor like 10 grand into it. xD

[Toasty]

Just make sure it's better than Skidz's car. If you win 10 grand from him, you'll basically be getting free upgrades!

[Blue]

If I loose then I owe him 10k, yeah, no thanks. xD

[Toasty]

That's why you buy a rocket engine!


....hey, a guy put one in a VW bug, so I don't see a problem with putting one in an RX-7. :unsure:

[Drizzy Drake]

Pfft, only one? I have three rocket engines.

Body kit, paint job, and new rims.

Then your car will be awesome.

Yes they do, just look at the crown victoria! ;)

And there it is. :D

The red one in front of it is an MGB. It's small enough that we can park it there like that in the garage.

The passnger seat is missing because my dad took it out so he could replace the carpet. New carpet kit is on the way.

[Split Infinity]

At least that car has froglights.

[Ironsight]

My stepdad has been building a car in our garage for a while. I don't think I'll be able to drive it though. I'll have to take a picture and show you.
