I'd push that auto G35 all day, screw what NTers think. I am not AT ALL knocking manuals though, but according to folks on here, theyd want to drive astick phantom or maybach

what the f you talking about?

 

[ninjahood]

on top of that, that tire stretchin has annoyed me so much that i had to go to honda tech and actually see if there's a legit performance situation witit..and looks like there is...

absolutely zero performance positives about riding like that.

ya was crappin on

when swangaz was postin these...but then turn around and drool over setups which argubably are even LESS productive when it comes to performance.

quotes from honda tech:

I've never understood decreasing performance to *supposedly* look better.

I don't understand an "aggressive" rim. What's the point of a wider rim when the tire doesn't fit. I guess it's a ricer thing.

it all depends on your priorities. Looks or performance?

Personally, I'd go with performance. I just hate the feeling of having something that LOOKS like it can do it, but really can't. On the other hand, I want something that doesn't look like it can pull it off, but gives you a pleasant surprise when it CAN.

However, there's a word for people who want the look and not the ability. it's rice.

Id drive that auto G35 too. All people are saying is for such a nice car, its disappointing that its an auto. Doesnt mean the car is entirely bad.

No one would want a stick Maybach, those things I hear feel like boats to drive.

Dude, you don't know a thing about performance

stretched look>swangerz

 

[lemonade41]

I'd like to see a s2k with swangers and a late 80s caddy on some works with the stretch/poke look then NO ONE would be happy lol

what are you talkin about, you and me BOTH know i know about more performance then you.

somehow your convinced a FWD car wit a SLAMMED, runnin on a 19x10 set up

turboed up wit EXTREME under steer concerns is somehow superior to a R/T charger/magnum/300, or any american muscle pre-datin 1972.

swangerz and stretched rims are BOTH extreme examples of wheel setups, NONE of em do anything productive to da performance to your car..but at LEAST daswangerz aren't

gonna risk your life on da road cuz you wanna drive a ricer set up.

[lemonade41]

with u runnin that ridiculous stretched set up? pssh i'd blow u out da water.

i ain't afraid to drive fast. you'd have somethin to fear rockin wit your entire lip lookin like its gonna buzz saw a city street.

mannn I like swangs too, hop offa them, but they DEF aint performance oriented, and its mainly Texas they are popular in, the rest of the south will likely clown someone for ridin em
someone ain't read my post.

i never claimed they wasperformance oriented.

da real issue here is taste, that stretch *+! is just jackin a euro trend, perverting it, and makin it rice...how is that any different then someone ridinaround wit oversized wire rims or "donks"

its strictly a taste issue...don't knock what texas or da south is doin and turn right around and jock da ricer trends.

 

[mr monday niight]

I'm not getting into this argument again...

Poke

 

[10 piece nuggets]

And this aint garbage? I hope you have a large set of breaks or 2 miles ahead of you to break at a red light.

Its a matter of taste.

Theres no fun in just jamming on the gas pedal thinking you whipping people in races. That takes absolutely no skill. The car drives you.

 

[lemonade41]

word man, theres old schools out here with OD fiberglass interiors, if I remember right, aroudn the turn of the millenium you couldn't see a tuner showcarthat wasn't fully glassed, and IMO too much glass =

 

[lemonade41]

mann that charger is

to me, just get rid of the stupid 26" sticker and its good money

that charger is tacky lookin...and IDIOTS confuse those chargers wit legitimate R/T's and SRT models ridin clean.

this is more of my speed.

 

[josebronx]

this again

honda owners question, are these two parts (green arrow) supposed to be welded together (red circle). It a window regulator for a civic BTW. Those 2 piecesseparated so the window cant go down properly.



something similar to what I want to do to my s13

 

[lemonade41]

both are

to me, and I'm pretty sure thats a legit drag civic up there

 

[lemonade41]

that re charger up there is a 6? so thet hemi sticker is a fake? if so, I gotta do more research on em
