Got an interesting call yesterday from Jerome while he was in the stands watching pinks all out.Basically call went like this.John meet a guy here with a GS 1 gen running mid 10's in the 1/4,with automatic no less.So of course my natural response is wow.And go to find out that it's Moe from Ruff Racing.So Rome puts Moe on the phone.And I proceeded to ask some question.And here what I got from the conversation 800rwhp on a stock tt auto tranny,with a bad *** valve body up-grade.And it's been running like that for a while now. I don't know what to think all that come out of my thoughts are WOW.So I don't know, what do you guys think of this ??...
Ultimately i need to do something about the tranny.Maybe ATF,Ruff Racing or boost logic.I already know what some of you are going to say.I'm hard headed an manuals or not on the plate 5 or 6 speed... .

Yeah I've seen this car run many times a few years ago at moroso. It was super quiet and crazy fast. It had full interior too. It's white with tan interior and roll cage.

Nice kill.!! Sorry everyone been kind of busy and haven't been really driving the car much.And with Dinh gone to Vietnam the thread has been a little quiet.I guess I'm saving the car for the meet in Venice bch.
On a side note I did pick a fully built tranny from Japan.Let me rephrase!!!! I hope it's a fully built tranny,how ever it does have a stall converter .And when it comes to auto tranny's from Japan 9 out of 10 that come in with stall converters then to be built to the hilt.So I have my fingers crossed.

I live in Pho Loc which is the country side Hue (the big city) I was going with my wife on my Honda Rebel to the city to visit some old friends and have a coffee. We met up at an intersection to go out to An Banh this guy and his wife came along on there Yamaha Jupiter V. we didn't do any pulls or 3 beeps or anything like that. He start to take off looking to see if I can catch him. We were at a 30Kmph roll I drop into 2nd and hit I flew past him at 80Kmph and my wife starts to beat on my helmet cause we were going too fast.
Its wasn't really racing it was more like me beating a scooter with a motorcycle.

I then bought a Honda Dream S which was a very common scooter in Vietnam. I bought it used for 3,000,000 dong which was less then 200 USD but I got 20 miles to a Liter of gas which was amazing at the time. My parents then bought me a Toyota Zace GL its a like a SUV 1.3 litre RWD which I used to drive in and out of the city. My current wife back in the days use to go out with this rich kid who had a Honda SH and she had a Honda stream. I use to be extremely jealous of the Honda SH its a $7,000 USD scooter. He use to race me and beat me all the time and he use to make fun of me cause he had all these expensive scooter and I was stuck driving a Economic Scooter. I later bought a Honda Rebel I still didn't beat him but it was more exotic then his at the time.
