Cool, maybe I'll come check it out Friday.

 

You guys with red, is it hard to take care of? are knicks, scratches, chips easy to spot? Is it easy to keep clean?

I basically have to decide if I want red or silver again.....

Any insights?

 

did i miss something here?

 

There is an underlying story to that post.....after this is all over I will def. post the situation I was put in. Basically im getting a new evo on monday hopefully (all depends on the deal), the only colors they have left is silver, black, and red. I dont want black, to hard for me to take care of. So im not sure which to get? silver again? or red? I was curious to what the red is like to take care of, since I have never owned a red car......

Just looking for some insight......

 

My wife has a red Audi A4 and I have to clean it Anyway, it's not too bad - not compared to black! Silver is by far one of the easiest to keep "looking" clean because even when it's dirty you can't see as much of it. Tough choice - I say red though.

Good luck

 

Anyone going to PRP tomorrow night? I want to go, but I've never raced before and I'm nervous. I really haven't even launched my car either. Well, I tried once, but I sucked at it and smelled clutch for 10 minutes

Can anyone give me any tips - either for the track experience in general or for launching when I get there?

For those that have been there before, what kind of times did you run?

Thanks!

 

im not a evo but its the same red and i cant really tell u how it holds up (wrecked car and had half repainted) but other then that its preety decent always looks clean and shiny even when its filthy

 

honestly, you would be better off going for test and tune. the import nights with the bracket racing is pretty weak. i only got two runs in last time.

 

well u should smell clutch when launchin an awd but not for 10 minutes. ya you dont wanna get out on the track and not know how to launch you will just get laughed at.

 

eh, everyone has to learn sometime. besides, i've seen alot more embarrasing things at the drag strip than just blowing your launch.

although i learned at zeli flashlight drags. went up there glenn (ozrally). no times, no pressure, and he was the only one i raced against that day.

and learning on the track is alot better than learning on the street.

 

Do not worry about getting laughed at! kno wonder nobody want to race there cars. With that kinda advice. Here is what you need to kno. You arrive, pay your money at the gate. After that they will direct you too the area for tech inspection, it really is a basic look at the car, make sure the battery is not loose and that about it. I would remove spare tire and other stuff but , they don't require it. After that is done your ready to race. So then you wait, then wait some more, then hope nobody breaks down making you wait even more. . well now here is the important part, you will be directed to head into your lane to race, if possible avoid the water, but that is hard at prp. I repeat don't try and do a burnout! Its never going to happen, and all it does it fry the clutch. You will see the tree, with lights on it, pull up slowly till you light the first one then the second. When both are lighted you ready to go. The lights can go at any time after that, don't be suprised if they go way faster then you expect. The rest is up to you. Good luck

 

That's what I was looking for - thanks!

 

Denny you will figure it out its quite simple i'm sure.

Also guys check these out, if you are interested or know anyone that is let me know so we can hook you all up with a gross deal.

also, they will most likely be running a pro tree for the import shoot out. it is a little harder to judge than a regular tree, but luckily prp has a practice tree up on their website.

few practice runs on the net before you go will help to make sure you're not confused at the line.

 

I will be there, but im about 93% sure i will not race.. my clutch is taking a dump on me more and more and i feel like i have around 60% of my power... bummer, but i will see you guys there.. !! peace out everyone, my buddy bryce may show up also with his new blue IX with his horsepower freaks 3.5" TBE... He claims its loud, caint wait to see it


Ohh, and BTW.. I got a new Autometer boost gauge.. Its got the amber led behind it and it actually reads boost correctly.. not 5-8 PSI over what it should be
