When will you import kids learn? [Archive]

It's sad sometimes...it's really is. I was at the grocery store last night picking some stuff up and while I'm unlocking my car this hispanic kid comes up to me with his girl and starts in with the "nice car" thing (you know...the kind where ya know he's trying to be sarcastic and doing a shitty job). So he asks me if I wanna line up. I asked to see his car. A Civic Si with coffe can muffler, park bench wing, wheels, and not much else. He popped his hood and nothing special jumped out. No N2O, no turbo, just a cold air kit. So I led him back over to my car and popped my hood. Now it's a little hard to see the turbo at night so I grabbed my flashlight and pointed it out. I asked him if he still wanted to race. He still insisted he'd kick my ass. so we lined up (groceries and all) and I kindly handed him his ass. Then he complained about the launch he got, so I figure ok, I'll give you a head start. He floors it and as soon as he hooks I gave him two seconds and, in another 5 seconds, I was flying by him and still in second gear. Then we wants to go from a roll (there's no pleasing some people). So from 60-100 there was around 3 buslengths between us...and I was trying to be nice and only go about 3/4 throttle. It's one thing to have pride in your car but it's another to dig yourself a hole there's no way you're getting out of.

Why the title?! Isn't that stereotyping?! We could say since you have a Mustang that you have a mullet?

"We" aren't all like that...I bet most of us here aren't like that. You just happened to come across some stupid punk kid in a "Civic" thinkin he could whoop your ass hahaha that is pretty funny tho...and its probably happened to all of us...no matter what kinda car we were in...I use to have a 00 & 03 Pontiac Grand Am GT and "stupid punk kids" use to rev on me in their otherwise stock hatchbacks/crx's with a "coffee can" muffler...so I know what you mean, but you don't have to stereotype...

Stereotyping all honda owners with fart can exhaust isn't a fair assumption. There are idiots in any shape or form. When I still had my bel air and the rare occasions I'd take her out of the street my biggest bother were mustangs. On more than one occasion I'd have some jackass commenting on heavy ass tank this, slow pig that, yada yada, not paying any attention to that funny belt wirring away right in front of their eyes, it didn't matter if they didn't know it was a bored out built from the ground up 454(actually 463, 454 .040 over) it didn't matter if they knew that the blower was an 11-71, and it didn't even matter if the funny blue and red lines running all over the place that was in plain sight was actually plumbing for a Pro Fogger II, what mattered to me was that I rarely like to screw with anyone on the street because I just got in too much trouble, and driving as nice as I can I still have some needledick insist that his mustang is faster than my old lead sled(again paying no attention to the visible 3" blower belt or the plumbing for a plate injection N20 setup) for no reason other than to prove what a man he was, just pissed me off.

Now that I'm a little older and prefer my speed in the two wheel variety I still get it all the time. I was sitting at a light x-mas eve with my son in the back seat of the accord and I get a V6 mustang next to me revving the piss out of his motor. The light turned and away he went in all of his glory. I got caught next to him at the next light and he's talking some kind of crap about how slow my accord is(even though a 15.1 is plenty to take care of your average v6 mustang) so I rolled down the back window so he could see my kid and got a dumbfounded look on his face, but still when the light turned green he screeched his tires and away he went. Even on my bike I have cars try and screw with me. So go figure.

It doesn't matter who you are or what you drive there are always morons to put stereotypes against. As was pointed out, is it a fair assumption that you have a mullet and little or no college education? Is your wife also your aunt? It works on all levels. I will agree that there is a surprising number of jackass kids that think their civics are the hottest and fastest thing on 4 wheels, but don't shoehorn everyone because of a bad experience you've had. I'm old, I have fart car exhaust, a loud stereo, neon under my dash(that only comes on when the doors open, no other time), tinted windows, and all of the cute things, but I don't go around racing everyone and their mother hoping to get a minivan kill, I have had her at the track once or twice, but prefer to take my bike to laguna for a nice test and tune day and waste a set of meat than waste my time trying to kill myself because some kid wanted to race me.

What does it say about you that you couldn't be big enough to not race him if you knew you would whip his butt? What does it say about you that even after you beat him once you had to keep proving yourself? Is it really that small? A simple "sorry guy, no need to try and kill ourselves, I'll be at the track this friday, you're more than welcome to let the numbers tell the tale" would have been more than adequate, or are you just a street racer in another form, a more dangerous form?

So this is the car you're boasting about(yes I understand yours is modified) but this body style??

It's just sad that your satchel is so small you have to come by and prove what a man you are on a honda site. Oh well, to each his own.

^^WTF^^ you guys are morons.

GT40 im with you. i hate it when people in domestic and other imports hate on me and my car when they dont know what i got and some do. i still give them a run for their money and i usually win. i lose some to, but atleast i tried. either way i dont gives me a chance to see what my car can do agianst something better.

these two are all about stereotyping. pish not worth my time to deal with them. you can if you like, i think their mad becuase they are the punk kids who do that. they must lose a bunch of races from it to.

Nice kill and plus who cares what these to think.

GT40FIED, your story proves my theory that there are three sharp divisions among import owners:

1. Normal drivers who understand nothing about their car (A to B drivers)

2. Import Kid Rice-o-Trons who understand nothing about their car or any car and endanger people while looking stupid

3. True Import Enthusiasts who are always learning about all types of cars, respect all cars with true power, and constantly tinker with things under the hood that the previous two do not.

at least thats what i think

Ok...first of all...f@ck you too. Small minded jackasses like you are the ones I'm clowning on in this post. Not all stereotypes are unfounded and I know well most of the guys on this site aren't like this guy I'm speaking of. If you'd bothered to read any of my stats you'll see I'm a well established member of this board and I don't generally post import kills on here...it just so happens that I'm getting a lot of these kids revving on me lately and this was one of the more pathetic cases. Now...I gave this kid every chance to walk away from the race by showing him there was no way he was gonna beat me. I figured I'd let him save a little face in front of his girlfriend. But at the same time I'm not gonna let some punk ass kid with a 4 banger talk down to me because he just took an auto tech class in high school and thinks he knows his shit. It's called getting schooled. I could've just kept my mouth shut and stomped his ass, but I gave him every chance to shut up and walk away. And while we're on it, no, my car doesn't look like that. I've got a hatchback with T-tops. I'm not a fan of convertibles from that era (or really any era except for the late '60s and maybe the old Ford Skylines with retractible hard tops) either so don't think my car looks a thing like that. I'll post a pic if I can find a decent one later. As for taking it to the strip...perhaps you've forgotten that it's almost January and didn't bother to notice I live in Kansas...the tracks closed months ago for the season and won't be opened for a few more months. Besides...it's not my responsibility to tell people where and when or even who or how to race. Don't make excuses for some dumbass kid just because you think I lumped him in with you. I don't know you...can't even recall seeing you post here before, so I can't comment on your actions. The reason I titled the thread the way I did was to give the REAL members of this board a little laugh since most know where I stand on imports...I like cars...not domestics or imports...just cars. I don't know why you felt the need to go into such length about a thread that had nothing to do with you...maybe it's because you're thinking how easily that kid could've been you. I really don't know...but don't try and lecture me on things I'm more than well aware of and on a board on which I'm an active and contributory member.

Ok...here are the only pics I could readily find of my car circa 2 years ago...you'll see it bares little resemblance to the 'vert other than the paint/strip scheme (please excuse the quality of the pics...they were made with a disposable camera and scanned on a friend's shitty scanner).

GT40 - Sweet car! Very clean! I remember back in the days those were the shiat! I had a buddy with an SVO! That thing was fast for it's time. I'm guessing a lot of the members may not have been around or old enough to appreciate cars like yours. Oh well.

Nice kill! Some people just don't understand nor do they learn. At least you had the decency to show him what he was getting into first. Yet he still decided to step in front of the cross hairs. That's his own fault. I hope you laughed heartily so that he and his girl could see you!!

Some may not like your car but you have to respect him for the hard work he's put into the car. It's not everyday you see a turbo'd GT.

12-30-2003, 03:54 PM

Haha...this sure brought out the amatuers. I love it when a bunch of people who've never posted here or rarely post here try and get pissed because I drive a Mustang. None of them get that I'm just as into imports as I am domestics.

Now...Gabe...you need to learn to not run your mouth so much. You better have something to bring to party besides a Del Sol cuz there's no way one of those piece of shit girl's cars is running 9.5s in the 1/4....maybe the 1/8, but even that's a stretch. My guess is that you've either for a bike or some ridiculously modded track-only car in which case, you're right...my car would come close at a low 10, but it won't run into the 9s...yet. The thing of it is that I can drive my car on the street everyday and, in the case of a bike, if I got into an accident it doesn't automatically mean I'll be in critical care for a month. I don't know what childish fantasy world you live in, but I want stock in it. "I understand all about domestics and domestics are crap"? No...you understand shit about shit and need to learn to keep your mouth shut. This board isn't the place for that kind of childish shit. If you've got some meaningless flame to throw around, send me a PM, don't waste everyone else's time because you, probably much like the kid in this story, just finished your first high school auto tech class and think you're hot shit. Trust me, I'm an automotive technology major...I know which cars break down and which don't. "Any real import will always take a domestic"? Oh my what a poor retarded son of a b!tch you are. On grudge nights I rarely see any imprts taking out domestics, but I'll give much props to the ones who do. Look at it this way...mod for mod who comes out on top, a I4 or a V8? You slap on a turbo, start pushing 250-300hp (maybe a little more depending on the engine). I slap one on and I'm staring at 500-550hp. You rebuild your motor and stroke it, resleeve it, port and polish the heads...get maybe 40hp. I can swap heads on a stock motor and get that much. So please don't tell me that imports will always beat domestics...but I'll be sure to tell you the next time I see a 10 second Civic or Accord driving around on the street. Just don't wait by the phone.

As for Spawnito...just crawl back to wherever it is you came from. Your first post on a board and you're gonna go around trying to piss people off? What a f@cktard.

To clarify for those of you who are decent enough to actually read the post and ignore these few wastes of sperm and egg, I didn't count on a bunch of newbies who don't know me reading this and getting their panties in a bunch. Trust me, I have nothing at all against imports and respect the ones with smart drivers who take good care of and great pride in their cars and try to make them as good as they can. This post is about one individual in particular and more broadly about what seems to ME personally to be a rise in the number of kids who just saw 2F2F for the first time and think their mom's Maxima is gonna take me down. So in conclusion, I figured the regulars on the board would get a good laugh...didn't count on these starhole punching butt pirates who've never or hardly posted here to get all pissy about it.

geez ppl you need to relax. he didn't post this thing to point that all imports are bad, and the point of this post is not to bash all honda drivers. it's made to point out that kids put a muffler on their car and think they are the shiznit. and altezzas don't count as performance mods either. :no: so you need to relax and get the meaning of this post. also i think this was a good lesson for gt40 not to use any sarcastical tone in here cause you never know where the peeps that don't know you come from.

My thoughts exactly!!!! I dont post here much but for what ever reason this post struck "accord" pun intended I to love my import as much as my domestic My wife and I have regular fights on who gets to take our Accord. In the summer she usually wins because I get to pull out my showroom condition white 1990 5.0L mustang while our Caravan sits alone in the driveway.

I've allways held the notion that give me a $10000 budget I'll buy a domestic you buy an import we meet at the track It's a no brainer who will come out on top!!

I wasn't trying to be a complete penis although it may have come off that way. My angst was more general than directed towards you. Maybe it's just the frustantion of driving THE slowest car I've ever owned and constantly getting egged on or picked on simply by the looks of my car. I have fartcan exhaust, because it sounds good and that I got a $600 axle back for $50 because some kid was hurting for money and for $50 I figured what the hell, and they sound VERY nice despite their appearance, very deep and grumbly. I just get sick of people coming up and revving me because I suppose I seem to look like I like to street race, although the only person I'll race under normal circumstances, is myself alone on my bike.

I suppose I jumped down your throat due to the inordinate amount of attacks I've seen since I've been back online(spent 6 months overseas then came back and had carpal tunnel surgery so I was out of the loop for a while). Your post just struck me as the typical "I have a domestic, you have a piece of shit" kind of post and ruffled my already ruffled feathers. I apologize for coming off like that.

I guess my end point was that not all import owners are knuckleads, wait that's one of my favorite motors, Boneheads. It gets on my wick when folks typify import owners, because some of us, even some who like the wrench on their cars, aren't 2F2F street ricers....errr racers...EVEN with fart can exhaust, huge stereo, and other cute ammenities.

Again I apologize for bleeding at the crotch. I was in a foul mood, and for some reason I took your post personally.

P.S. Good looking ride, I wasn't poking at you by the picture, I was was just trying to picture yours in my head with all of the goodies underneath. Although my fav stang is a 67~68 Notchback with the 302 windsor. I'd sell my wife for one, or maybe the wife and some extra cash? lol.

No harm no foul. Believe me, I understand how a lot of...make that most of...domestic owners bash import drivers constantly (I am, after all, still a member of a few Mustang message boards) and when I first came here people were totally on the defensive, which is why I still retain from posting every race I have, especially against imports. Even with the folks around here who know me some can still get a bit touchy about such things. I used to be that way until I made friends with some local guys who own a speed shop and saw a lot of hard running imports (800hp TT Supra, big power TT Nissan 350Z, etc.) along with all of the "muscle cars" and a few exotics. I to admired these guys with import cars who I figured I could take any day of the week and twice on Sundays turning in times close to mine and had the "I can do anything you can do better" look on their face at a stoplight. I can totally see why all of the guys who responded negatively did so, but at least your criticism was a bit more articulated than theirs. Not just "you suck...my car's better". But in any event I appreciate the apology...and perhaps I should offer one of my own for choice comments. But like I said...no harm no foul.

Oh...and Hondaman...suck it you filthy post whore.

mustangs rock, civics rock, if you tune on it and you enjoy it, then it rocks. however, you need to have respect for other people and their rides. if you're going to challenge someone, you need to make sure that you are in your own league, and if you're a dumbass and get your ass handed to you, take your medicine and don't make excuses unless it's that your car wasn't the shit you thought it was. i love cars, all kinds of cars. if it goes vroom, vroom, and isn't falling apart, i'll be interested. it is often the people that own the cars that i have a problem with. gt40fied, i feel your pain. punk asses who don't have a clue(not saying i know it all) chafe my ass too. just hand the ones that ask for it their asses when you can. i do know of a few streetable civics that run low 9's in the 1/8 and 12's in the 1/4. they have h22 swaps though which makes a lot of power in a little car like the civic. all in all there's one motto that rings true, there's no replacement of displacement. thanks for reading my babble.

Alright heres what I dont get about anyone.....

Example...GT40fied's car isnt about the looks cause honestly he doesnt care about the looks just the speed.

so in this case people are like aw man your car looks like a POS your slow. So basically noone acknowledges that he could have mods or a really fast ass car.

same thing in my case on the opposite end.

example. i care about looks and power, kids come up to me car looks nice but you shoulda put that money under the hood, all show no go.

this happens with every kind of car enthusist. and it ****ing sucks.

oh and illusion, your new to the board and i mean......your car has wood grain in the dash...not exactly a "mean machine"...now its people like you that i cant stand....one reason because you are the kind of guy who will down both ends of the stories above, you would down my car, and GT40's. But, at least we have things in our car that actually improve some kind of performance.....for instance your subs....dont add HP believe it or not, and your "dress up kit" under the hood doesnt make your engine any cooler, faster, or add HP. Your the kind of person who puts in a headlight conversion, and thinks his car is bad as shit....oh......you did do that?! hahaha. Get out of here kid,man,boy,or child whichever you prefer to be. Put it this way, your car is a luxury car its supposed to look nice.......for old people. GT40's is a muscle car its supposed to be a sleeper of sorts, but not to people who actually know what the **** their talking about when it comes to cars.

thats all i gotta say. peace.

Put it this way, your car is a luxury car its supposed to look nice.......for old people. GT40's is a muscle car its supposed to be a sleeper of sorts, but not to people who actually know what the **** their talking about when it comes to cars.

thats all i gotta say. peace.

Hmmmm. You read all of that into me? Ok. I supposed the 53 bel air I rebuilt myself wasn't anything, nor the 280z with a 350 conversion. Times have changed and I have a kid to look after, So doing little things to my car means I'm a lessor person? Maybe my little riceboy turbo lude before the Accord was just another attempt at being cool. Spending 15 minutes to spray paint the ugly plastic engine covers after I put CL-S cams and throttle body in is a bad thing? I do stuff to my car that I like to do, and that I have time to do, I'm an engineer with my MSCS and BSEE(one more semester of night school and I'll have my MBA as well), I enjoy tinkering on cars, but I also need them to be dependable these days, and I don't have time for major projects. I did a headlight conversion because I drive a mountain road every day to and from work and needed to see better while not blnding the crap out of the oncoming traffic, so I'm lessor for taking the time to retrofit audi projectors into my headlights instead of just slapping in a cheap HID kit and calling it a day, or worse putting in a set of blue coated bulbs so I look cool? Also you have to think what's important to the individual, my point for the accord is comfortable, with entertainment for the kid in the back, and relatively peppy. I never had money for a system, or other little cute crap when I was younger, so this car was making up for the past. The year I got the accord I had to make a comprimise, get rid of my lude(since I had no back seat) sell my bel air since all it was doing was wasting my money, and buy something that would be a nice car for a few year, and I got just that, although I bought the bike last year because I needed speed again.

And no I wouldn't think someone's car was anything less than it is. I would think yours is shit because you're obviously an asshole, but frankly I like GT's stang, and I like my buddy's probes(he has 2 of them, one noewhere near streetable, and the other his daily driver).

Before you make ASSumptions of people making a complete ass of yourself try to feel the ground a bit better. I'm such a riceboy that for the past month I've been searching high and low for a new car. I've narrowed it down to a few. I've had my eye on G35 sedan for a while, but it's not doing anything for me these days, so right now my #1 pick is a GTO(test drove one monday, and it's pretty damn nice) or I say hell with it and just get a trailblazer and ditch my accord and my truck, and run over little turds like you instead of arguing with them.

One key note, using hate towards someone is a very strong word BOY and will get you a pretty strong response. So stick your head back up your ass and retort when you have a clue. Also as far as me being new to the board, note your registration date and mine.

I did my first motor transplant when you were still sucking your thumb, I still remember it vividly as well, a 350 transplant into a babyshit green 72 toyota landcruiser, that thing was a beast, best truck I ever had, that was my first car ever. My dad bought the truck with a shot motor, and from the time I was 14 till I had my license we wrenched and tweaked on it. Took it on the rubicon run twice before I got rid of it. My most recent transplant was 3 months ago helping a co-worker put a 351 in his 84 bronco II. So your assumtions of me knowing nothing of cars has gone out the window. My part time job while I was in school was the shop manager of speed shop, so I must not know my ass from a hole in the ground.

TTFN, have a nice day. I do what I like to my car, you do what you like to your car, and everyone is happy.

It started it's life in a TPI IROC, but after much coaxing(of the motor and my wallet) it was a pretty happy beast, well until my previously mentioned mountain roads got a hold of it. Nose was WAAAY too heavy for it's own good, went into a corner and the the tail kicked out which was fine, then the nose let loose and I ended up t-boning a tree(the tree hit on the passengers door). Don't think the VQ35 was around yet, had the Z from 90-92.

HOW DARE ANY OF YOU STEP UP TO GT40FIED. I can tell you, he is THE MAN. I eagerly opened this thread because i know that basically, anytime he posts its worthwhile, thought out, respectful (heh, sometimes ;) and hes always truthful and accurate in his decisions and information. Hes also very insightful when he gets plastered (every night) He contributes a ton to this board, etc. etc. Now that im done being oprah, non homo etc.

Last time i checked, i hated hated hated mustangs. Along with that, i love Gt40's car. I mean, sure its cool to have damn near 700 whp, but the thing is, hes a generally damn cool guy. A general all around hustler :D. And his mustang single handedly made me more open to domestics. Cheers to GT40 and cheers to the import ass whooping he kindly handed out. Good story.

And, for the flamers, i drive a not so slow civic. So dont try to ram your cock up my ass, either.

good kill nonetheless. i cant stand people like that anyway... import or domestic drivers. A cavalier owner once told me that he will put a VTEC typeR head on his cavalier motor.... an import guy told me that he plans to put a BOV besides his cold air intake filter. He wanted it hidden to maintain his "sleeper" look... WTF? :confused:

Yeah...I felt stupid even while I was lining up. But like I said, I gave him every chance I could've...even a head start...and he he just couldn't keep his mouth shut. I almost felt bad when the light turned green...like I was about to kick a puppy or something. Before my Mustang had all of it's mods I'd ask guys if they wanted to race and if I got a peek under their hoods and knew I was outclassed, I'd give them props and walk away. Even if your friends give you shit, it's better than the shit they give you when you lose.

And Shaved...thanks for the props. I'm always up for enlightening minds...especially when inhebriated. :thumbsup:

Ha, had to post for the first time in a while.

First off, having a child or childeren will change your life all around. I used to spend endless hours a day in the garage, from work at the diesel shop to work on the POS civic, now---I've been fortunate enough to get the wheels off my ride for the winter---1/2 hour in my garage. Oh well, the child is a much more prized possesion.........

Good Kill, some ppl never learn.......

Check this link out, this has to be the guy who came up to you and asked you to race.......this is his crew!!!

dont be hatin. theres alot of "ImPorT TuneRzz" everywhere. every second ddriver is a ****in ricer. its like a label. usially its clearlights that are cheaply made and ruin the car or bench drag wing, which is hideous and is not of any use because most people are not pushing enough power to benefit from increased downforce. of course its hard to explain to them. its IMPOSSIBLE. they will always try to prove you wrong. its a ****ing desease, human nature so to speak. only way to prove them is prove them wrong. but next time if i were you tell him to meet you at the track where everyone can see him get his ricer ass whoped.

rice is not even hideous. hmm... i like steamed tho with some soy sauce. :yes:

I'm actually willing to bet my car will own about 99.9% of all street driven imports. Went up against an 800hp TT Supra once that got work done at the same race shop I was at and still beat it. Guy could get traction to save his life...from a stop, a roll...didn't matter. Wicked cool car though.

So he asks me if I wanna line up. I asked to see his car. A Civic Si with coffe can muffler, park bench wing, wheels, and not much else. He popped his hood and nothing special jumped out. No N2O, no turbo, just a cold air kit. So I led him back over to my car and popped my hood. Now it's a little hard to see the turbo at night so I grabbed my flashlight and pointed it out. I asked him if he still wanted to race. He still insisted he'd kick my ass. so we lined up (groceries and all) and I kindly handed him his ass. Then he complained about the launch he got, so I figure ok, I'll give you a head start. He floors it and as soon as he hooks I gave him two seconds and, in another 5 seconds, I was flying by him and still in second gear. Then we wants to go from a roll (there's no pleasing some people). So from 60-100 there was around 3 buslengths between us...and I was trying to be nice and only go about 3/4 throttle. It's one thing to have pride in your car but it's another to dig yourself a hole there's no way you're getting out of.

yea, this might have been resolved on this thread already cause i don't know since i hav't read the whole thread...but i jsut gotta say that the title is really stupid, like, wtf were you thinking? do you think that all import people are this way? yea, this is the way people who buy there cars already suped up are, but fuk dude...we're not kids either. My friend with his b18c1 in a CRX with headers and exhaust handed it to a 2003 z28 camero. the guy keeps on insisting that his rear end is broken or some shit...infact its kinda imature to call import people kids...we have the harder project...to make a 4 cylander run the same times if not faster ones than v8's...when will you domestic kids learn that 4 more cyladners doens't fix everything?

GT40FIED

02-12-2004, 05:03 PM

You're right...it was resolved earlier in the thread...you should've read it before running your mouth. As for you 4 cylinder guys having it harder...tough f@ck. It wouldn't be that way unless you made it that way by buying the 4 banger to begin with. Yeah...V8s have an advantage, but how hard is it to get ahold of a car with a V8 in it? And don't give me that crap about "we've got to mod more than you"...I've probably got one of if the MOST modified car on this entire site so I know a thing or two about that. As for the thread title...that was resolved earlier in the thread that you didn't bother to read but I will say this. Most of the people doing this insanely stupid shit ARE kids. I'm only 22...not too far off from being a kid myself but I NEVER did stupid crap like this. And again, most of the people involved these days in buying and "tuning" (and by that I mean a cold air kit and some Altezzas) imports are kids. Sure, there's serious guys out there but you can't deny that their numbers are dwarfed by these dumb ass kids.

Edit: As a matter of fact, mod-for-mod, having 4 extra cylinders DOES solve everything. I believe this was also brought up in the thread...man...you missed a lot. And as for what I was thinking when i titled this thread...first it was to give the people on this board who know me a good laugh and secondly that I could outrun a car like yours in the 1/4 by about 4 or 5 seconds (at least).:flick:

LoL.. and btw.. please don't say that it's easier for us to mod.. I notice more and more that the import community is making anything u could want for whatever is out there. As for our V8s.. a lot of the stuff is generic. I have to make from scratch 25% of the stuff that goes on my car. Let's see you fabricate a dodge viper 6 speed to fit a smallblock chevy in a 45 year old car. Buying a CAI or turbo kit and slapping it on doesn't compare.

Alright...all you lurking bastards need to start reading the ENTIRE thread. I'm a fan of cars...pure and simple. I don't care if they come from America, Japan, or motherfvcking Malaysia...if it's fast and fun to drive then I'm a fan. Second of all, I think your idea of "extremely built" is probably what I consider mildly modded if a Talon handed you your ass. I was handing turbo Talons and turbo Eclipses (and these were modded) their asses before I even had the turbo...just the stroker. My sympathies to the folks who died street racing in your area...but I ain't stopping. This isn't Arizona...it's Kansas. The tracks aren't open but for about 5 months or so a year (not counting rainy days) and the closest one from me is about 45 minutes. Sorry...I don't feel like driving 45 minutes for something I can take care of safely in 10 seconds. Bottom line...if you race like an idiot you're gonna get hurt regardless of where you are. It's all about assessing where you are and making intelligent decisions. Other than that...I'm willing to pay a ticket if I ever get caught.

You're a dickhead. Let me tell you why :) First of all I didn't see any where on his post claiming to be fast or have motor mods. Just because he has subs and a "dress up kit" doesn't mean he's trying to be fast, and what's wrong with a headlight conversion? At least it serves a purpose as well as the subs. Yanno it's people LIKE YOU I don't get. Why are you all about proving somthing? do you have a small penis or somthing you're compesating for? Lay off the guy mabybe he is doing the show side of his car first and not speed, because not everyone has the perfect idea of a car such as you playa. Also if you want to rag my car be my guest, but lay off the kid he's intitled to his opinion just like everyone else. peace

Hey dude. Chill out man. Why do we need this drama. Maybe you are right. Maybe he was totally wrong. Maybe he was attacking him because we are all pretty tired of the new guys coming in here and causing drama. If you will notice, we don't all agree about everything. The older members have a way of dealing with each other that seems to work pretty well. It is called tact. You see we don't go around telling everyone that they are f****n retarded and wrong about everything. We discuss things like adults. We do get rather upset when some new guy comes in here for the sole purpose of starting fights. If you will notice, we don't start personal attacks. But if someone attacks me or my beliefs personally, why am I not aloud to argue back? Maybe you should look at the context a little closer. This is not a personal attack on you. It is mearly an explanation of why we do what we do.

I just think it's funny that the illusions guys whole point was simply " Stereotyping all Honda owners with fart can exhaust isn't a fair assumption " and then civickid0to60 had to act like a big shot board groupie and be a bitch. The guy sounds decent that's the bad part. Just because someone does something to there car and someone else doesn't like it. That doesn't give them a right to be a fag about it. discussing things like adults doesn't consist of singling out one person and each of his mods then go on to let him know exactly what is (in his opinion) wrong with them like he's God or somthing. That stuff makes me sick.
