Just wondering... March 08, 2006, 12:21:25 PM Do you guys give alot of pipe shots? I notice myself pipe-shotting other t-birds 83-86... Is that normal? Cause i did it again, and i'm starting to think that people don't like it. Would a normal person give a simple "howdy" hand wave? Cause that's just weak in my opinion. Anyway, why is it that i do this? I need to know how retarded i am, or if i'm okay.Plus i'm a weak post w. Quote Selected

Just wondering... Reply #7 – March 08, 2006, 01:53:21 PM Why would you put your car through something like that? You may get respect from your average ricer for such things, but most sane car guys will just blip the trottle a little bit, or give the nod.Personally, if another T-bird guy did that to me, I'd call him a tool and ignore him.

Just wondering... Reply #10 – March 08, 2006, 03:22:46 PM Downshifting to first with an AOD is dang near imposible unless you want pretty trany pieces all over the ground in a trail of tranny fluid to the median. Stop reving you car and invest in a dixie horn. Quote Selected

It's usually by doing something stupid, getting laughed at, and never doing it again. Case in point, I used to drive a '95 Toyota Tercel 4-dr 5-spd, and I was all fired up to put an alluminum (unpainted) shelf spoiler, front to back ground effects, 16" wheels and about 500lbs of audio equipment in it. I even contemplated making a BMW style grille for it, so I could call it a 215 (the cars look a bit like an older 3 series, and it had a 1.5L).If I could go back in time, I'd give myself a backhander.

Just wondering... Reply #14 – March 08, 2006, 05:38:57 PM What if the car was designed to do that? Let me explain....way back....er...I don't know how far back...but back none the less....rally cars used a type of anti-lag system that involved holding the spark until the exhaust valve was open. This allowed the AF mixture to pass into the space between the combustion chamber and the turbine wheel. Obviously this would keep the turbo spooled, even at idle. These were removed for many reasons...mainly noise levels, but also to keep costs down between lower budget teams.So if I were to say...invest in an ignition system with this capability.....and install it on my Coug, would that be an acceptable way of "pipe-shooting" according to you guys here at the board?(I know the disadvantages so please don't lecture me on why this is a stupid modification to make on my car. This is something that I want on my car, even if it is just for show. I like the way the rally cars pop and used to shoot flames out the tailpipe. It's part of the reason I'm keeping the turbo engine and most of the reason I got hooked on turbos.) Quote Selected
