WHY I HATE F*ING FORDS!!! - Page 2 - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

sperry · 2006-03-29, 02:53 PM

Too late Dean, I'm already buying him drinks.

MPREZIV · 2006-03-29, 03:04 PM

YAY! Free food and beverage for me! So, who's driving me home when I get shit-faced? J/K! I'm really just glad to help out guys. I do like feeling like I actually bring something to the group, other than just a bunch of e-shit talking!

Dean, no hard feelings man! I know we got all f'd up on Thursday night, being here longer than expected and all, so don't worry about it! If you wanna blame someone, blame Jeremiah for being late last thursday!

I kid, I kid!

M3n2c3 · 2006-03-29, 04:26 PM

Hey, don't drag me in to these shenanigans. . .

j/k

Damn bro that sucks big time

at least you made it back to work on time

and i've hated fords since i drove one (was my first car at 16, 1987 ford escort)

cody · 2006-03-29, 05:28 PM

I had a Mercury Zephyr, so there!

Dean · 2006-03-29, 05:36 PM

We got it moved. Just low on juice. I was giving Cory shit about why he didn't just power shift the bitch... He claims it wouldn't come out of 1st... So why not just drive it to work in first?

He did some in his RS on the way back to get my car, but thems aint a truck! Maybe our in house mother trucker could show him how its done.

And since Jeremiah is trying to stay out of it...

[BS announcer voice]You make the call...

1. 1/2 an hour plus late
2. Forgot the proprietary tools that came with the coilovers to do the job
3. On a meet night.

Foul, or no foul, YOU MAKE THE CALL...

[/BSAV]

j/k It was my fault, just trying to divert attention...

M3n2c3 · 2006-03-29, 08:58 PM

Hey, I originally said 5PM, and then agreed to try and make it around 4:30. Since we're shifting attention, I blame my wife for finishing work late.

dknv · 2006-03-29, 09:08 PM

I dunno about all you other guys, but the times I've borrowed Dean's truck I've been really thankful to him for the loan.

I can shift anything with nipples....wait, what? I goofed that up...

Anyway, the only time I've ever driven Dean's truck was when I made a gas run from the Lovelock Airport to Lovelock while towing Debbies Car on the trailer

. It ran good, but I didn't use the clutch a lot.

A1337STI · 2006-03-29, 09:30 PM

shifting with out the clutch is more fun, right before i went to sell my WRX i decided it was a good time to figure out how that works

(that called power shifting ? ) a mechanic friend of mine showed on his honda before and said its not bad for it, they had to shift a tranny with out a clutch in class . (well depending on the rev range and rev matching its not overly harmful is what he told me)

when you have it rev matched well it just sucks it in, no clue how you'de start a car from a standstill with no clutch though..

The times you borrowed it, you didn't have to push it through an intersection while you're running late for work.

Noisily.

In first. Works fine with a decent battery, fuel injection, and not up hill. You can do it otherwise, but those 3 help a lot.

sperry · 2006-03-29, 09:50 PM

Power shifting is applying throttle before the clutch is completely engaged, so the car car accelerates as the clutch syncs. It's normally used by drag racers, and (like just about everything drag related) it's really hard on the drivetrain. I've been known to have a little bit of an issue w/ power shifts, but mine tended to punish the clutch because I've always been a little bitch when it comes to dropping the clutch. It's probably why I couldn't hold 198awhp in 5th gear on my stock clutch after only 40,000 miles.

Bet that changes the experiance a bit

A1337STI · 2006-03-29, 10:00 PM

ah okay i wasn't power shifting my old Rex, just [insert fancy term ] no clutching shifting with out noises / kicks/ surges. 2-3k rpm range.

power shifting does sound a bit rough on things

That only seems fair.

When I lost the old throwout bearing in the 73 Chev, me and powershifting got up close and personal, didnt help that the pilot bearing went at the same time. It was almost as fun as when I lost my rear drive line on the same truck at about 45 miles an hour..that was like a rodeo ride!

I try not to run late for work. Planning.

And I wouldn't push it through an intersection anyway, 'ima girl'.

edit: ok ok I feel sorry for Cory that the situation happened, it sucks. Hopefully Dean can get it fixed because the F150 has been such a useful vehicle.

MPREZIV · 2006-03-30, 07:31 AM

It wasn't that big of a deal. I wasn't really running late, just running so I WASN'T late! I always leave early specifically so if something goes wrong, I've got plenty of time to handle it and still get to work on time!

I dunno why the truck didn't like me yesterday! I've shifted a ton of trannys without the clutch, and fairly well know what I'm doing, but that sucker wouldn't change gears for anything! I could barely get it out of first even sitting still! Ford's don't like me...

I AM really appreciative that Dean let me borrow it to move that stuff as well. Other wise I would have had to take a drive to Red Rock and get my old man's truck, and then all the way back to town for 15 minutes of work, and back again. It was VERY cool of Dean to offer his vehicle to me! Most people aren't willing to help another person out like that.

Really, SECCS has turned out to be a great group altogether, and I'm glad I've found myself here!

khail19 · 2006-03-30, 01:49 PM

Cory's always early to work, I know cause I see him every morning at 6:50am standing by his car when I drive by on my way to work.

Oh and if you ever need a truck again, feel free to borrow mine. You won't have to worry about it breaking down, oh wait...it's also a Ford!

MPREZIV · 2006-03-30, 03:20 PM

Ford's don't seem to like me.

maybe it's because I'm black...

Ha! Race card always on standby!
