Not funny, IRONIC...

BANG, the "Interceptor" is dialed IN. Just like that, and I'm pissed off.
A long story but, you had to be there. I'm doing hi-speed road trials in a custom boosted mini truck, and the cops are giving me tickets, left and right.
Should have known better.
The Interceptor belongs in the bush, doing donuts whilst climbing hills and throwing dirt of the 11" wide Titan 489s.
The road trials are over.

That phone #'s not much good anymore either...

Yeah, first time out with my RSX after I turbo'ed it was much the same story

Oops, this car can go 45mph in 1st gear... and I already shifted into 3rd. Lookin' forward to some off road arse kicking!

I've got a few more hundred K on the "Interceptor" now (after the wires and such) everthing IS; dialed in, I'm very happy with the performance, but mostly, the torque...BIG DIFFERANCE..this is how he should have come from the factory. Only down side, burns premium like CRAZY!!! I just can't stop driving it like a formula 1; got to stop that...

So, I got the original "Winter grip 155's" back on, just for the summer highway travel. Running back and forth to the trout stream camp area.

Just ridiculous, 1st gear is for the bush, second...have to take it easy, but 0 to 80kph dropped from 15s to about 10s...

Something to be said for "rolling resistance". I wouldn't have believed it would make that much difference, but it did. The Titan 489's are 24's, but run half as much weight as the Kumho's, with the CT "steelies"...we'll see how they perform...

I'll get some video out later this summer after a few "bush runs"...but the nephew is about to finish school and wants to take control of that

I only hope that he can produce as well as Iron....

Cuz, it's just stupid, with the 11 Inch wide rear Titan's, climbing sand hills, with the diff-lock on. It's not the "suzuki carry" anymore....

It's the "INTECEPTOR"....

PS: off-road arse-kicking, to follow...

Don't know how I missed that last video ???

...the growl sounds cool.

...I know what you mean by rolling resistance,I've been trying to pass that one on for a few months now.....had 175/70s and swapped for 155/80s and the difference was quite noticeable.......when's the MFP paint job coming

Is your camera mounted on the windshield???....cool video...looks like you had to do the "survivorman" ...set up camera......go far away....move through camera's field of vision....go way back and retrieve camera...

Yea, had some fun with it, turned out ok for my first attempt. Did the survivorman thing a few times, had a hard time with figuring out a mount for the inside....it was infront of me the whole time...GPS windshield mount...now I can mount to any glass in any position..simple.

Got a lot of raw video over a week having fun with the truck but turned out that a lot of it got corrupted once the SD card got over half full.

I had some wicked sand climbing in there. Not sure if I will be able to recover the AVI files but I'm learning a lot which is what I like about doing projects in the first place. 3gpp...zamzar...file headers, now I know why people go to school for this stuff. This video started out with no music, but there is this annoying tic,tic,tic going on, quite loud, audio was added to cover that up, that's why the level is so high.

Respect Iron, this video stuff is hard work...but kinda fun too.

PS: More beer = beter video

I can provide that!

Yea, I'm going to stay away from the pavement-supercharger mix for a while. Last week, on my way out of town, I was stopped at a light beside these two girls in an F-150 and it kind'a looked to me like the Interceptor was not getting the respect that it deserves. So...4x4...ON...Difflock...ON...green light...HAMMERED DOWN. It "hops", like a jackrabbit, for the first 40 feet and I had the 145's on so I got it up to 80 inside of two blocks in a 60...maximum braking, and turned into the gas station to fill-up...just like I planed. As soon as I step out of the truck, OPP cruser drives into the lot and pulls up to the other side of the pumps..officer hanging out the window obviously looking at the truck. I just turned the other way and kept pumping my gas...I don't see you....and he pulled away.

...that would have been number three.

Is that an RV90 in your box (that's what she said......boooyaaa!)...what's with the bagged plate ??? heist in progress

....love the sound of that truck

**spaner** · 06-12-2011, 10:51 PM

Nice, She said "is that a motorbike in my box, or are you just excited". baDang...

Yea, I always bring the RV90 as a back-up to walking when I go out swamping and such, but here I was shooting some road-restriction climbing in HD and took a few jpegs as well. I had the plates bagged up for the close quarter video, cuz you can't crop it frame by frame and I like a little anonimity..just In case, you know? Not sure what kind of misschef I'll get up to here.

Unfortunatlly, that footage was too corrupted to recover...I'll just have to go back and shoot some more...
