Readjust your baseless claim and your right back on top.

Pretty soon we'll be having negative times for the 1/4 mile.

Good idea! I mean he is only a few seconds faster right now. I know for a fact that I'm at least half that fast. I think I can make that up with the altitude adjustment.

You could also do Elff's method and launch down a steep hill (GMT taught him that trick), I believe this to be a myth though because in central Hellinois there is no such thing as a hill let alone a steep one.

I thought ditches counted as hills in Central Hellinois??

Speaking of...I may be back in Hellinois on a temporary basis soon! We shall see!

That engine looks pretty much stock.

I don't think ditches will help launch times.

Let me know if you find out more about the Hellinois thing.

Will do SA! For certain I will be in Chicago working on projects this fall and winter.

Anyway, just installed the short throw shifter. I should own the fastest quarter mile now!!!

The only thing GMT taught me is that 3 bent rods on a 4 cylinder engine is not a blown engine.

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #182 on:** September 01, 2015, 10:16:28 PM »

There was still one straight rod of the 4. Im sure it ran well.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #183 on:** September 01, 2015, 10:39:46 PM »

Those bent rods just increased the displacement and gave him more power. He hadn't taken that into account when he did the tune and everone knows its easier to change the rods than change the tune. Besides since the fourth one refused to bend the engine wasn't balanced.

Also, ( I have to do it) Up hill or down?

The fastest kappa with an ecotec is Kelu’s car, but only when Madelina is driving it. Kelu is slow off the line, slow to shift and slow through the gravel.
My kappa was the fastest in to the garage.

Always down

Are you sure?

Think about it. If Wartie is at the bottom of a hill headed up and you are at the top of the hill racing to the bottom hasn't Wartie already won? He is at the bottom of the hill before you.

Just cause it's an Alfa doesn't mean it won't make it to the bottom of a hill.

Just won't make it up the hill

A leaking oil Alfa means it's not empty

So it's like a Harley except probably faster (down hill)

A guy at work had his Harley rebuilt top to bottom. When he brought it to work we put drops of oil on the floor under it, the look on his face was priceless.

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #196 on:** March 01, 2018, 11:57:17 AM »

Anyone have any time slips to post? No need to post my 18.7 @7 mph. Pretty sure there are faster cars.

Here is a picture of Elff back when he was into Harleys.

He's added some ink since then.

LOL
Although I have never been into Harley's.

That's a bit harsh. I'm sure your bikes are very nice.
