TuTu October 9 2012 - TuTu Takes A Risk
« on: September 28, 2012, 03:43:41 PM »
Something different...

Car: Mitsubishi Mirage 1400GLX (available now in the OCD!)

Setup: Stock. Oil Change.

Restrictions
Power: 83hp -ish with oil change
Weight: 795kg
Tires - Sport Soft
Tuning - Prohibited
Lounge: TuTuTuna
Opening Track (good till about 8:30/8:45 when everyone tires of it): Spa (it works)
Draft: STRONG

Yes, that's right, we're going with, seemingly, a low HP turd. Dude was kind enough to send me one of these and when I drove it, I thought "for a pretty old POS, this thing is kinda fun." I know everyone "wants to go fast" but the name of the game this TuTu will be momentum.

I know this might not be a crowd-drawer, but rest assured, if you show up, you WILL HAVE FUN!

I'm in!  I love all 4 of the old 70s hatchbacks (Golf, Mirage, Civic, Abarth), also the one pictured looks cool as heck too!

A buddy of mine in school had one of these, except it was labeled as a Dodge Colt. That car caught so much hell, but handle it pretty well.

Aw man. I was so looking forward to this tomorrow night, but a friend from out of town came calling with MLB Playoff tix and I've gotta take him up on it...

I'd really like to hear how this goes because I thought it looked like a lot of fun... so if y'all'd be so nice as to let me know if it was a bust or not, or if it was fun or just plain sucked, I'd appreciate it, as I'd like to do another Slow-Mo TuTu sometime in the future.

Thanks and enjoy!

I don't understand, why you can't just tell your friend you have a prior commitment playing video game.  :'(

It would be a great excuse to not have to go watch a baseball game.

That thing looks alot like my old 82 Toyota Tercel. My Toyota had a racing stripe down the side, and was FR instead of FF.

I sat in the TuTu lounge for 30 minutes waiting on somebody to show up. Ronin popped up, but I guess couldn't get in.

The car may have been fun in a group, but it was boring as shit by itself. I wound up practicing for the race Friday in the old Vette.  :-\

Took a stab at this again last night.  Got in one race, then sitting on pit road for the next, I get disco'd.  :(
