Ok...so last week on thursday i went out with my friends to tried out our cars.. i tried out my friends car a 91 nissan sentra SE-R and lost like 3 car lane... some other guys came along and wanted to race me with a 89 Corolla GT-S and i smoked him like 3 car or so... i think i rev and set my rpm too high..i set it at 3rmp... is that too high??. because off the launch i took the se-r even though they have lsd... i was thinking if i rev too low it might bogg on me...well just a story to tell...what do you guys think??

I launch at 4.4k rpm.

Street racing is illegal and for ricers and not strongly supported here.

arround here, street racing is the same thing as going to a club. And the one way to gain respect and or get noticed, is to humiliate the big dogs.

It's not that difficult.

street racing is kid stuff...

street racing is all about penis envy. Got a small penis? Get a civic and do the 1.4 in 9 sec or less to show everyone that people with small penises are actually useful >>

I dont launch at any particular rpm, I sorta hold the clutch in and I never drop it at launch, I just ease it in very quickly, prevents wheelspin.. works well for FWD with no lsd

Downloading music off Kazaa doesn't put people in hospitals and make insurance insanely high like street racing does.

>> rawr!

1. Tighten up your suspension, It will help in your launches
2. I would launch at around 3,500 rpm.
3. bring down tire pressure a little.
4. keep all windows closed.
5. practice shifting. after first gear dont press the clutch all the way in, just enough to shift gears.
6. get short throw shifter
7. get slicks
8. Lighten the car up


practice, just practice. You dont have to go all out when you practice, Work on your reaction time at red lights. best way to get ur reaction time down


If I think of anything else I'll add. Have fun, but watch your a$$

Racing is very fun, i do it all the time. As long as it is done safely, your not a dumb ass, and the person your racing is not a dump ass, no one is going to the hosipital...

well my opinion...if you're stupid...you get caught..if you're stupid you get hurt ... and that only goes for people who can't drive, who shouldn't drive... yeah...but you guys make it seem like driving a celica is such a slow car man... what's the whole point of having a celica and putting all your money in it??.. if you're not gonna race??.. right??.. actually what's the point of driving a celica at all??... im pretty sure some people think celicas are slow but hey faster than some cars out there though... it's all good though... you guys can talk all you want but everyone does their own thing...

A few threads for you:

Thread 1

Thread 2

Thread 3

i say we all get together and top out are cars........

Street racing is almost just like a track if its an open road that is vacant and more than 1/4 mile long.

And isn't going like 100+ on the freeway a stupid thing to do also? How come no one gets called dumb or not careful for doing that? When going 1/4 mile you are not breaking the 100's if your car is not greatly modified.

I myself do street race, but not like in the movies or have a big crowd of people watching. When I got my car, a friend and I just wanted to see how we can keep up with eachother in the 1/4. So we went out to this very vacant road that was about 30+ feet wide. Very nice road.

To sum it all up. Street racing I think is stupid if there is a crowd of people watching or participating in an unsafe envirionment, but if its just you and a friend with an open straight road and you feel confident then go for it.

everybody mods there car to go faster and well. tracks are expensive 2 of my friends make a day out of Virgina international raceway as much as they can and ive taken a lap or two there but well getting into that is expensive. flame retatdent suits, race seats, harnases, hi octane gas, brake pads(which youll go through in a couple of laps), helmet, and not to metion the $75 track fee. well my point is its like 500 bucks to get into track racing and nothing to pull up net to some kid in a 96 civic dx and smoke him so of course people are going to street race and telling them to go to the track isnt going to do anything.

I hit 105 in the 1/4 with my last AWD Eclipse. Thats pretty damn fast enough. One, oops from a Civic next to you and poof your done. I wasn't about to bash racing (read my first post in this thread) however after reading the "your ******* gay" reply, I reconsidered. To me, racing is foolish. Its not that I haven't done it myself, but I reconsider now that I'm older. Are you in your 17 second Celica really THAT much of a badass if you beat a Dx Civic in the quarter mile. I like racing, I love racing, and if I ever get my Celica under 14... chances are I'd need more competition then the Dx owner with 100 dollars in neons around his car. I dont mind opening the car up once in a while, but I dont have to pull a Paul Walker every time I see Altezza tail-lights.

Also... see those little boxes... the more the person has the longer they've been here. SlowCelica has 3, which means a good amount and he's been here for a year. You've been here for a week. Also, slow is a jackass (lol - and you know its true >>) and isn't someone to pick a fight with. However, if you think you're REEEEEEAL good. Insult Sinner, BlkGt, Slow, and Andason at the same time. Boy, wheres my popcorn smiley.

I'm surprised he didn't get flamed for using 'gay' as derogatory. lol, around here everybody seems so sensitive about it. >> HA!

In the words of Dave Chappell "S**t N***A, sometime you gotta race!" >jk< i dont think (other than of course the legality of the issue) that opening up the car everynow and then is a bad thing. But, like stated be smart about it. Sometimes it's best to just know that you can or cannot hang with another driver than to put it to the test and face the concequences. As far as "that movie" tuners have been doing this sort of thing for a long time, and i think that if we were all inspired by that corporate fluff, the majority of the people on this board would be on a Honda/DSM forum. The people here know what thier cars are cabable of and want to do it because it's a part of who they are and what they love.

Pish posh. I hate this thread just for the simple fact it makes my brain think.

Racing near-stock Celicas is stupid. If you don't have a turbo or some serious work, then your Celica has nothing to prove.

>> >> blackbullet, I think that everyone here is just lookin out for ya. I mean, we used to street race and now we're old enough to know why its wrong and why we shouldnt do it. I guess everyone here is just trying to look out for ya, lil brotha.
