thanks to yellow I made it to the forum.

just wanted to see if it was someone on this board. A black ITR
road my *** on the frontage rd right by Roosevelt rd in Wheaton IL!!! I hope you liked that view of me gettin on it and leavin ya !! Next time don't tailgate me, just wave or honk.

It was a black ITR with black windows, looked sweet, but there are better ways to get my attention.

not a flame, lots of credit to ITR's

anyone else local, in the Glen Ellyn, IL area??
chris

 

What's up man. You should head up to Gingerman this Monday (July 2nd). Lots of ITRs are going up there to get some track time on the road course (South Haven, MI??). My friend's ITR would probably give your Supra hell on the road course! He was picking on Vipers last week up there.

Welcome to our board! I'm sure the guy you're looking for visits here.

 

I wish I could yellow, however, its my birthday on the 2nd. I have some plans already. I am getting more and more into scca stuff, although, straightline is my first love

Let me know when you plan on going again, and maybe I can tag along. I'm sure the tegs will kill me on a road course. The IRS susp. on my supra does pretty damn good, especailly with the 6spd. but it is a pretty heavy car. I have been to one scca event and watched some serious si's and tegs go at it.
thanks for the welcome. glad to be here.

 

Welcome, and Happy Birthday. I've got a b'day coming up on the 30th of this month. You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of your car would ya? I'm partial to MKiV's...

 

Sounds good Chris. My best friend's B-day is the 2nd also!

I think your Supra would have some trouble at the AutoX (SCCA SoloII) with the tight courses, but I think you'd do pretty well on the road course! Depending on the course you would be quite competitive with stock ITRs I would think.

If you're ever interested in getting involved, there are a bunch of Chicago ITR guys that come on this board. I'm sure they'd help out!

Once you get on the road course, I'm sure you'll agree it's the ultimate test of car and driver!

I would completely agree with you yellow. I have a bunch of dsm buddies that run too. I will take pointers from anyone and everyone.
The car has a great deal to do with it, however, driving is KEY!!!

Oops..I meant the "other" Chris (Supra) but we should hook up too onyx. In fact, we will on Monday at the Gingerman school. I'll be there in a dinged up 2000 PY ITR with white ITR wheels/kumhos (unless it is raining).

BTW, My name is Anil. See you then!

 

What happened to your R?

Be sure to look out for Wes (White Dragon)! Here's what his R looks like...you can't miss it. LOL!

 

Nothing specific happened to my R. Just a bunch of ******** parking nearby it even though I park in the back of the friggin lot!!

You have to love Honda for its paper thin body panels! I love how it dimples in even when you are waxing (particularly the rear quarter panels).

Yeah, Im looking forward to meeting Wes there. And you are right, nobody is going to miss that car!!! I remember Wes from the Type R listserv and also since he has (or had?) and mr2 turbo and so did I until recently.

Wes sold his MR2. That was a quick little beast.

 

thanks everyone for the welcome.
Yell00ITR and onyx00, I actaully just sold my condo in Buffalo Grove, Arlington Club. I am at home near lake zurich, but stay with my girlfriend most of the time in glen ellyn, atleast until I buy another townhouse

We will definitely have to meet up. Let me know what nights you're around and we'll set somethin' up.

lookin forward to meeting and talking more to everyone
talk to ya later
chris

 

Yeah, mine ran mid 13's on street tires with shitty 60ft times of 2.1 to 2.2 seconds. It was definitely a low 13 second car. All with just a few well planned mods. Gotta love turbo cars. Especially ones that are mid engined, RWD, and great (albeit quirky) handling cars as well!

 

Welcome Supra Fly!

 

Sorry about that Supra fly...just trying to get a better look. I must say that you put the power down nicely. Took in a little wheel smoke, but I am still rollin

Hope to see you around again. Although I am sure that I will

 

there ya are I was just given ya a hard time. My girlfriend loves when I get on it like that. Your car looked beautiful. I love black with black windows.
If you see me around, flag me down or yell Chris, and we can stop and shoot the sh*#. I would definitely like to get a closer look at your ride.

so what does a typical (if there is such a think type r run in the 1/4, how about with some mods.

Thanks for all the welcomes, guys, you're all damn fine people. I don't think I have ever had that warm of a welcome to any forum. thanks again

chris

 

Typical as in stock 14.8 or so. I've done a 14.5 on slicks...most people do better than that on slicks.

Modded ITRs (All Motor, cams, etc) on slicks can run 12-13's. Pretty impressive cars, eh? ...especially considering they were built for the road course. Most stay NA because the compression ratio is already so high.

Stay as long as you like. We like Supras.

 

I will definitely keep an eye out for you

As for why I didn't give the horn....Have you ever heard the horn on the Type R? It is embarassing! I think it should be recalled!
