Are the Majority of Paintball Players Ricers at Heart?

SCpoloRicker, it was a 440 before boring out...now its a 480.(we think) we bought it from a little dealership that knew nothing about it except that the guy that owned it before ran out of money restoring it. anyway, I'm pretty sure a 440 is dodge's biggest engine, like the 454 for chevy. this thing eats up anything we put in front of it, about a month ago we raced a suzuki hayabusu...and beat it! believe it or not. was probably luck but still...wow

[tyrion2323]

I hate to brag, but I drive a Mazda Protege. Stock.

Yeah baby, drool all you want!

[ilikePB]

hehehe, funny you compare it to a camero... a very good friend of mine has a 2001 z28 six speed (310 hp, rwd, yeah yeah yeah, yok AVS es 100s) and i'm right on him to 100. always depends who gets the best launch as to who is in front, but we run the same speed till i run out of 3rd

we run em all the time. also the 98 vr6's are MK3's, and are a good 4-500lbs lighter than the MK4's. officially, whp on the car (slightly improved due to the flywheel, k&n, exhuast, and chip) at michigans elevation was 168hp peak.

combined with better traction due to the azenies, and yeah, 14 is very attainable. considering my best run on the car stock was 14.4. the 14 flat is an estimate based on that, havent been back to the track, but lemme see what i can do next weekend

-Booyah

HAHAHA, a 2001 Z28 has an LS1. Unless your friend is a crappy driver, he should be able to nail low 13's. My LT1 T/A runs a 13.9 with nothin but cat back flowmasters and moroso cai. The LS1 from factory is better than an LT1 in just about everyway. But w/e. I consider just about all imports to be rice because they almost all use pitifully small displacemnt engines.To get any kind of power out of those tiny motors you HAVE to use forced induction. The thing is, with a forged crank, pistons, H-beam connecting rods, beefed up valve springs and of course beefed up fuel system, I can push 12-15 psi of boost easy and nail 600+hp. I'd like to see a 4 banger keep up with me then and be street legal, not gunna happen. There's no replacement for displacement.

So stuff like Ghilie suits, camo, flatlines, bipods, all the BT-16 stuff for Tippys... all that is performance gear, right?

Hmm lets see. Ghille suit. if used properly you will never see the user coming. Rice don't think so. Performance most definetly.

Flatline. Only barrel know to actually increase range. Rice??? I would say no dice on that one too. Definetly a performance upgrade.

Bibods. Can't say that I have seen many people use bipods in any form of paintball. But once again if deployed properly it can defintley be a performance upgrade.

Any more stupid Ricer questions on gear? :rofl:

[Jackel411]

AHHH HECK NO!!!

I rock an 81 Caddy Coup Deville , Flowmaster exhaust , BANG'in system , and soon to get repainted a darker blue and to ride on low lows... 160 spoke 14s

Even my guns show up to be this way.. heck I have an ICD bushy that looks like crap , but shoots faster than most guns , Im a performance nut....

Though it doesnt show in my car , its just an old school low rider

Sooner or later Ill get another car ( Ive been eyeing a 85 Sedan Deville that will get air bagged and ride on the frame )

Ghillie suits... because everybody has 30 minutes to find a position and camp there. Almost worth it. Concealment via ghillie works in war, not in paintball.

Flatline. Only barrel known to have a successful gimmick campaign. Paint won't break past the range of other barrels anyway. Seen Flatline shots caught by bare hands.

Bipods. Because paintball markers kick soooo much that you need to put it on the ground. And because they're such sniper platforms it helps you put paint between the eyes, right?

My buddy has a LTD Edition A4 GTI.. The one with the recaro seats, etc.. 1.8T with a Garrett chip.. 180hp + the 40hp and its about 500lbs lighter than the VR6... The thing rips.. he uses it for SCCA races here in New england.

[skife]

i wanted to get an escort and mod it [strip it and cut the muffler off] for SCCA i think it would be kinda fun to race a POS 200 dollar car

[GT]

HELL YEA!

I use to mod a Honda and Mazda board. I have some great stories about some of the moron ricers I would meet on the weekend racing. Hell the domestic owners are just as arrogant as ricers are stupid....

nice

I got Pwned! :rofl:

mmkay, put all that technology of the 1.8 turbo into a 502 chevy...

who's going to win

because after all the technology is added to each motor, in the end there is no replacement for displacement

[GT]

mmkay, put all that technology of the 1.8 turbo into a 502 chevy...

large block motors never reach the volmetric effiency of there small displacement cousins.

for example a bud here in H-town has a turbo'ed 2l right at 460hp, he drives the car to work and gets about 32mpg. Completly streetable.

Now a 2l is about 122 cubic inches, so that would mean you need to make about 1892 hp out of your 502..... and still get 30mpg and it would be completly streetable....

Sorry, the technology is not availble to make large displacement motors anywhere near what can be cooked up under the hood of a 4 banger....

[SCpoloRicker]

i shoot 30 bps WOOT WOOT

We've gotten completely off thread, but JEEBUS

*quote* for example a bud here in H-town has a turbo'ed 2l right at 460hp, he drives the car to work and gets about 32mpg. Completly streetable.




I doubt anyone who claims they have ridden in a car with 460 HP. When it's a 2.0 liter car, it almost pains me to even comment.

I said almost. You have got to be kidding me. I mean, if a guy said his small block chevy was putting 460 HP down, I'd think he's full of it. MAYBE if its blown, new internals etc.

Abso-freaking-lutely no physical way, dude.

Show me the dyno. If it's specific enough to be "460" there's gotta be proof. Just like the dude who says he runs 14 flat in his GTI. Go to Kinko's and scan it bro.

I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong, but I get tired of all the stuff people apparently just fabricate.

Again, are you gonna bark all day long, little doggie, our are you gonna bite

-shameless Resevoir Dogs plug-

For the record, I drive a POS ford focus right now.

[edit: "reach the volmetric effiency" priceless...

[skife]

i drive a 189ci grand am.
