1.5L smoked a Powerstroke
« on: June 26, 2009, 03:53:02 pm »
Here in Indiana the speed limit on the interstate is 70 and I only feel comfortable going almost 65  ;D
So I went to pass a slower moving Semi and in my mirror I noticed this large white Powerstroke coming up (I felt I had time to get around, also I dont speed much anyways). He ended up right on my rear end and stayed there... >:( He was trying to intimidate me :-\ (or just wanted me out of his way...) I push the pedal to the floor and gave him as much blackness as I could 8) being a little guy and all... He looked pretty pissed, so i gave him the head nod... (the nod down, NOT the quick up "whats up" nod.)

HAHA I aways get a kick outa givin' people a little puff of blackness every now and then, it's a sure way to brighten my day :D.
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

HAHA!  Excellent..   Did a similar thing to a Powerstroker right after I got my silver Rabbit..  THe PO had the fuel screw cranked up to crazy levels (I had to wash the back window & tails every other day due to soot) This guy was going too slow for my tastes, 10mph under the speed limit. I tailgated him for a while, he left me some little puffs here and there..  Finally I got my chance, a down hill stretch, he windows were open too...  ;D
