Ya, thats different.....so which vinyl pattern should I throw on the celica

D series Vtecs are no joke. If his car has vtec Do I/H/E and put a bottle on the sucker. You'll be running some great numbers on the track.

Tell him to go to D-series and read

you need to give him a crash coarse in cars.. damn! you dont have your celica anymore..

You need to point to your 3s and say "goood"
and then point to his d16 and say "baad"

Make it like shock therapy on that one Family Guy episode. Have him sit in a chair with a picture of the 3s and a picture of the D16 and if he ever looks at the D16 give him 10,000 volts. It worked for Peter!

Tell him running mexican rice with tabasco sauce is the same as 93 octane and a 75 shot, lol. Really though just show him the Ricer Compilation video over and over again until he figures out that a huge wing on a FWD car is mostly for looks and actually decreases the handling due to the downforce being icreased in the rear causing the front end to lift more. He could also just slap a Spoon or Mugen badge on his car and hopes that someone believes him.

[Akimbo]

Rub his nose on the d16 and say BAD or every time he says Honda spank him with a rolled up newspaper.

I think some of you are missing the point here. Why is it that you are making fun of the Honda for being "rice"? Honda's aren't rice, it's what poeple do to them. There's just a lot more honda's out there. In % ricers, Toyota probably has just as many. And I know there are 6gc ricers, and even 3S ricers. I just want to see the Honda bashing stop. Those are dang good cars. If no one believes me, I'll trade my celica for one, and then put as much money in to it as I have in my celica, and stomp you at the track.

[thedevilmaycrie]

lol its not that its a honda thats rice its the fact that he out right wants a fast and furios car... and openly admitts that he's a ricer...

I don't think Hondas in general are rice, IMO rice is just taking any beater and trying to turn it into a race car by throwing a trash can under the bumper and putting this huge wing on it (who needs a 4 inch exhaust on a N/A motor), plus a Civic would need a pretty nice suspension to hang with a Celica on a track, (circuit). I think Civics are bashed because they aren't even sports cars, S2000 is a sports car, a Civic is a poor college kid car and that is why they became so common, take the same year Celica GT and Civic EX and you will almost always pay more for the Celica since it's a sports car. Plus for some reason our government decided to pick on Toyota when importing them into America (i.e. lack of the 3S, stop selling the Supra). I know Honda makes the Si but it's just a Civic with a little better motor in it, i'll still run with a stock one doesn't matter what year, that 160 hp is way over rated.
