yeah, the other thing is that maybe he's got a thing like cadillacs where the needles go all the way over then back to 0 before the begin reading. :)

What the fuck was that supposed to mean anyway?

I plan on breaking it, and in a car not a bike, but it definitely won't be a dsm.

You are Mr. responsible. I was refering to the other thread about street racing, and you ringing people out. It wasn't an insult, so don't take it so seriously.

I call bs ;).
What does that caculate out to for top speed?

I'm "Mr Responsible" because I think its stupid for people to get together in large groups and race? Thats common sense, not responsibility. I have nothing against a little car on car action on the highway, or the occasional top speed run.

awesome enes, haha, what road....i mean....what part of antarctica did you do this pull on?

Hey nicely done there Enes!!! :thumbsup:

Hey Enes,

You are a funny guy. LOL. That picture is total BS. :lol: First of all, your boost gauge should be pegged. You covered your butt on the oil pressure. Your temp gauge should be at least half way up.

On top of that, there is no freaking way a DSM can go that fast. The gearing for 5th gear, might allow about 150-160mph. ~maybe~ That would even be pushing it.

This picture was obviously taken in Enes's garage last night. The car isn't even running. He probably taped the needles or pulled them off and set them in those spots. Enes, you have way too much free time. Good effort though. ;)

My gauge cluster is in complete tact, never taken apart..

my temp gauge has always been that way plus its been taken at an angle..

comon curt. you know what dsmlink can do!
taken off www.dsmlink.com

Gauge display Allows the user to change what gets displayed on the factory "boost" gauge. Common selections include coolant temp, idle control, O2 sensors, etc.

next time i will take a damn video so people beleive me damn you dsm hatas..

-E

I will have a camera strapped to my chest so that you can see the damn needles go when i get it up that high.. damn you unbeleivers..

i might get killed tonight but i will prove you wrong..

-E

Enes' So that's why you asked yesterday about my top end runs,

I see your RPMS/MPH is just past where I said another DSMR's where when he did 168mph.


And for those that don't think a DSM can do 160mph. Here a clip of a car that has the same interior as mine but..... isn't my car ;) ..... hitting 160mph.... This was the camera person's first time running the camera so it's bouncy, and would have come out better if they hadn't zoomed in. Also this clip was taken off a TV cause I guess that person couldn't down load the video to the net from ther camcorder.

Anyrate if you want a clear shot of 160mph mark, pause the video at 3 seconds into the clip and slowly move it forward till it hits 4 seconds or till the 160mph is clear as day.


Also the other video's from that side look like my old car but aren't - I just happened to find these videos on the net about 4 years ago someplace. But I can't remember where I found them. ;)

I also heard this guy did a run to 168mph just prior to this 160mph run but didn't get it on tape as it was just a spontainious thing he did and after that fact he wanted to do it again but get it on tape. But at 160mph noticed his temp gauge was pegged. So he backed off.

thx barton...

How accurate is a DSM speedo? Use GPS or it doesn't count. ;)

Whoa... The BS is getting so thick now I can bearly walk through it. Time to get the knee high boots on. In Brian's little video, you can plainly see where the temp gauge should be:

I also find it ironic that Enes boost gauge is in the exact postion it would be in if the car was at idle. And come-on, do you think anyone going 180mph in any car would be able to get that clear and centered picture of there gauge cluster. I've gone 165mph in a Stealth before. Its damn scary and very bouncy.

If someone can find me the gear ratios for a 2g FWD turbo, we can put Enes little practical joke to rest. :lol: It is funny though.

Curt

thats the thing.. with 225/18/40 the spedo is off by probably 3% or something..

_E

I'd believe enes


The motorcycle dude is nutz or he has some big ones i dont know

BS

According to this calculator http://www.volkswagen.org/tiresize.htm and your tire size, along with 2G turbo FWD final drive and 5th gear ratio according to vfaq.com, you should have been doing 184 mph at 7600 RPM.

pWn3d

there is no way you have enough power to hit 184, much less the time to do it.

calculate it at 7500 since i moved my rev limiter to 7500 ;)


-E

181 mph

Also if you use GPS, most have a "Max Speed" log. Lets you keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. In fact there's a silver stealth in my neighborhood with stock 9B turbos that has a GPS log of 167.5 before the driver ran out of road. Try doing that with a 14B or T25.
:goodluck:

calculate the jack stand resistance into that too?

-E

I have read that the 3s is the easiest car to get up to 200 mph for the least amount of money.

oops, i meant air resistance..

-E

http://www.tcstangs.com/forum/images/smilies/die.gif

I was swaping tires and the car was on jack stands so i was like..wtf.. lets see.. so i put it in 5th gear and steped on it.. it got up to that speed within like 2 seconds.. just enough for the pic snap and thats it.

I had lug nuts tight so that the brakes wouldn't vibrate and lock up.

lol the stupidest thing is the first pic i took was with my e-brake on .. LOL

-E

p.s. I still want a ride in your car though

i had you guys going for a little while.. i should of actually let it go longer.. oh well.

-E

oh yeah, and it is actually correct, that is what the gauge cluster should have shown.

i haven't played with any of the gauges (rpm/speed) that is what it actually displayed.

-E

I willl be at rock falls on the 10th , my birthday..

-e

in essence i didn't smudge it too much.. the car really did think its going that fast.. just with no traction.. gotta love FWD

-E

When the 168mph run was done I wanna say I heard the RPMs were somewhere around 6800-7200rpms? (been 4 years since I checked into this video, etc) and my memory isn't the best. Also that 160mph was a FWD DSM. I'll see if I can find the information again, as I think I remember seeing the complete run from start (55mph) to finish (160mph). And the RPMS were shown till about 140mph then it focused on only the speedo.

So hopefully that'll give and idea of where the RPMS were exactly. ON a side not the car that did 160mph only had low 300whp at the time of the video.

Enes,

You did put on a good show. Congrats. The biggest thing I couldn't get past was how clear and centered the pic was. When you watch auto racing on TV, the in car cameras are always showing the driver bouncing around and fighting with that steering wheel. Thats on a super smooth race track with a car designed for that kind of speed. A DSM on Minnesota roads would be incredible bouncy. Barton's video is what it is really like at that kind of speed.

So were you in the garage then, when you took that pic? Looks like a garage pic. Does your boost gauge read boost or is it programmed for something else? I'm just curious if it would read there under full throttle with absolutly no load.

later,
Curt

i didn't lie about anything else other than where it hapend.. the gauges are as i said, voltage, oil, gas, temp.

yes it did hapen in the garage..

and i just threw it in 5th gear and steped on it, it went up to that speed in like 2 seconds.. as fast as the rpm's went up the spedo went that high as well.

The boost gauge probably only showed like 1 pound of boost if..

Cool. Well, you can tell people that you jumped into your car, started it up, and did a 5th gear pull. And the speedometer showed 180+ mph. Next time take some shakey pictures from the passenger seat. Make sure they are a little blurry and off centered. ;)

later,
Curt

ok, i will take your suggestions for the video..

-E

Your even more crazy doing that on jack stands versus on the highway. :ohmy:

Yes thank you MR smartypants..

-E

That's what I was thinking. (Hope the garage door was open)
