Re: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Sucks. It's ricer heaven here.

A Civic is a civic no matter what you do to it.

Unless of course you did an engine swap....

Unless you through a Corvette engine in it, it's still a Civic.

Re: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Hey Pared i'm in the same boat.

I love to race, but i do it on track.

Good man. Street racing is for *******, most of whom can't drive to begin with.

You can dress up a pig all you want, at the end of the day it's still a pig.

1. A Civic isn't built to be fast.
2. A Corvette engine? Don't need.

I personally like the bodystyle of Civics. Especially 88-91, and 92-95. Hatchbacks are lovely.

Re: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

I like Civic's too, but like you said, they aren't meant to be fast. Those cars just make me laugh. Let's drop 10K into our 12K Civic. Stupid.

Exactly.

Personally I hate Civics' but that's just me.

I never said it was a good idea...

Its just if you really want to make your Civic fast you can. Or you could just save a little more money and get an STI.

Exactly.

You are probably tainted by shiny rims, terrible taillights, cheap high pitched exhausted, etc.

That there is no doubt about.

I remember the "everything else forum" the main subtopics were, Cars, Music, etc, I think....I don't think we have discussed cars in a long time.

Hey Pared i'm in the same boat.

I love to race, but i do it on track. But yeah i get really annoyed by wannabes and that give enthusiast bad names. Its a fun culture and its a great HOBBY.

I know how a lot of people think its a waste money, but at the sametime if the person who is doing it right will be saving money being knowledgable about their car and other cars in the future. He will probably know how to fix it or know what exactly what to fix without being ripped off by a mechanic.

Of course there are going to be kids who spend every dime they make in their car, but hey they're irresponsible, if not their car they'll put all their money into some other BS.

Anyway next project that me and bro are gonna do is a 96 supra, and its gonna be a beast!

Ooh, I love the styling on the Supras... the old school Celicas are nice too. I hate the most recent design...

I don't see a problem with spending money on your car... hell, we buy video games, right? Do you track your car? There's a track near here in Jersey called Englishtown that's pretty popular when it comes to racing... I was just there about 2 weekends ago!

Silver,

Yeah man, def. know what you mean... it's those individuals that really ruin the crowd (yeah, and these movies haven't helped!). When you have really, REALLY cheap aftermarket items out there.... oh god, you can really see some interesting "creations" on the streets.

bk,

Seems like it's ricer heaven everywhere. Here in NYC, I could take some pictures that would probably floor you. I once saw an '87 Prelude modified to take ROCKET FUEL. You'd be amazed how loud the thing was. Not my cup of tea....

As much as you hate the Civic, I hate the NEON. UGLY, UGLY, UGLY car... UGH! **** the SRT's...

diesel,

I completely left off the sti's... how silly. That's another that is up there...

Perfect example of what NOT to do... ugh.

Re: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Paul Walker's start was in Varsity Blues. That's the movie that catapulted this crap.

I actually really like that movie...is Paul Walker a good actor, no, but Varsity Blues was great

Great? No....not even close.

Entertaining to view once or twice, yes.

Yeah the Neon's are getting annoying. For whatever reason their owners think they are Porche's.

STi's I don't mind so much (talking WRX's right?), the true STI's are a rarity here. It's the Netuered WRX's that have the aftermarket cheap exhaust and the glued on STI badging that make me laugh.
