This is different, there is no harm in this thread. We are all just expressing ourselves n having fun while doin it bro, plus its more of an interstesting thread like someone else pointed out that we are having an oppurtunity to see other members opinion and how different we all are and what we all like and dont like. Kinda hard to help others if u know nothing about them and this is exactly what that thread is helping with.

haha i see your looking for a body kit now!!! moving on with the USDM look now??? seeing as the japanese look isnt what most like??

[Soulend]

No offence, but I don't have a whole lot respect for drag racing.
Yea, its impressive when cars are runnin 8 sec's, 6 sec's, whatever, but anything thats not unbelievable fast, doesn't seem like it takes a whole lot of skill either than hitting your shifts, and having the cash/knowledge to build a car.

Probably gunna get flamed, oh well.

heh this is how I feel... I mean I do it too but come on Road races are so much more awesome. just like a Lady a track should have some nice curves.

besides what can you say about drag racing "woooooooo! I went fast in a line!" sure if you go fast in a line with a Manual you can say "I nailed my shifts perfectly!" where as an auto....

Lol, I don't get why you think I was bashing. Its MY pet peeve. If you and your son think auto is cool, congratulations.

Why do you rush to judge my driver skill based on not having 10 years behind a wheel? I am a far better driver then 90% of people with over 10 years behind a wheel.. I have actually taken high performance driving classes at Pacific Raceways. And not just in a Celica like you you probably are assuming, but in my Dad's Dinan tuned BMW. So please don't tell me I don't get the "feel" of a car! That is flat out rediculous that just because you are older than me and your license has existed longer than mine, that I don't know the feel of a car. I'm talking about track racing cars built to do so and you are assuming I just like to street race? I thoroughly enjoy driving on the track, and as Jordison stated, I LOVE the feeling of hitting your shifts through corners, etc. YES, the FEEL! I'm telling you straight up that it would be nowhere near that fun in an auto. I also enjoy drifting (I'm 5 minutes from Evergreen Speedway). Again, NOT happening in an auto. And automatic drag cars are pointless IMO. To me, the sport is all about the launch, not who can press the gas pedal down the fastest, haha.

It was just a comment about my pet peeve... Sorry it made you so upset, lol. That's just so rediculous that you think you need 10 years to get the "feel" of a car? I've had an 05 Audi A4 1.8t Quattro, ST165, my 6gc, AE86 GTS, and s13 (Guess none of those are driver's cars...) I've taken Car control clinics, gone to lapping days with my dad's BMW club, and done high perofrmance driving school. I was also a delivery driver for three and a half years. I have LOTS of experience, with LOTS of cars, so that is just an incredibly ignorant assumption. And yeah, let's see who can get a better lap around pacific raceways, srsly.

Goodness why does everyone's opionion need to be the same..its a freaking forum..

I had training on Michigan Motor Speedway. I drove NASCAR stock cars, F3's and the demo car (stupid Avenger.. God that thing sucked). It's awesome what professional training can do to your daily driving habits. I see things happen before they actually do now and can do things with my car I never expected. It's gotten me out of some serious situations. For example, I hit a corner that was an entrance to a off side road going 60 (legal highway speed) that my GPS told me I had an off ramp for. It didn't... in a matter of milliseconds I was able to hit both apex's at highway speeds to save myself and the car from hitting a wall. It doesn't matter how much wheel time you have (although for some, time is all that teaches... :\), it's how much you care about driving and how well you adapt or can take in what your car is telling you.

I can honestly say that our Celica has an insane amount of feel. You can tell when your tires loose grip before the squeal, you can feel what's breaking, you can feel the roads texture, you can even tell wind direction. It's amazing how much this generation Celica tells you through the steeringwheel and seat.

Back on topic though.

I saw a civic today with what looked to be a block of wood on the hood and what seemed like milk jug plastic bolted inside the fenders to make mudflaps. It also had a $30 DC fart howitzer.

Oh and saw this the other night:




I wanted to break his window and steal his wheels. Sweet R34 Civic Toyota bro!


...and then there are things like this...


How turn, you do?

I trust my feel, over bitter members.

Agreed though, i've driven others that do not feel the same....but then again, I have no idea what i'm talking about.

I don't really have any hate for anyone into modifying their cars.......taste is subjective. Something may not be my style, but to each their own.

My biggest pet peave is really just how arrogant most "tuners" (and I use that term VERY loosely) are. They learn how to do an oil change or change their pads and all of the sudden everyone else in the world is an idiot.

Cars (more specifically modifying cars) are meant for enjoyment. That's it. Once it turns into a "look at that ricer over there" scene, it's not fun anymore. Maybe that guy is a "ricer", maybe we're all "ricers".....I have respect for people that do things to satisfy themselves, not the all-to-common, desperate for approval by their peers mob mentality that most seem to have now adays.

I respect passion and ingenuity and people who are honest with themselves about why they do what they do to their car. I don't have time for a-holes who don't do anything but JDM their car up and talk **** about everyone who doesn't.

And there it is, texasnick, I like that one bro.

[easternpiro1]

Im seeing more and more roof racks, why????

because RACECAR!....


i remember back in the early/mid 90s people were using the Thule roof racks, jeeps, and euros had them. and being that im from NY originally i always thought it was a euro thing.

a Vee Dub fanatic friend of mine told me it IS a euro thing, and it made me realize something: the honda guys go through fads so quickly that they latch onto anything that looks sorta cool. (because there is such a big fight to look original in their own culture).

[easternpiro1]

oh by the way.... my BIG PET PEEVE has to do with TUNERS directly....

if you TUNE as in DYNOTUNE for living... im going to need for you to know what a damn 3SGTE IS!!!! OMG!!! i cant tell you how many shops lost my business because they didnt know what a 3sgte was... or what it came in....

i hate how dyno tune shops have such great reps but then they only know RB,SR,KA, H series, K series, B series D series AND 2JZGTE (no offense supra)



GTFO. youre not touching my $ OR my car.



SIDE NOTE... STILL looking for a toyota tuning shop in the south east.

Man, after watching some guys from a local shop trying to figure out my buddie's IS350, I don't think I'd trust any tuning shop I that I didn't know the person working with the car pretty well.

[MidnightCelica20...]

Yeah, I worked at a local tuning shop called MXPi Tuning. It was a Toyota shop (even though I spent most my time working on S13's and Z32s) It was shady as hell. I ended up getting kicked out cause I told the owner off on some ****. There are seriously only 2 shops in the area I trust and Ive known the owners for 5-6 years since I first got into drifting. ILLGarage and Touge Factory. **** the rest of the local shops, other than maybe Fizz (but I've heard quite a few complaints about their techs). It is really hard to find a reliable shop.
