I remember my first HIN I went to three years ago I saw that Yellow car with the crazy hood.

[quickdodge®]

Jeff Tousma's Civic with everthing you can think of done to it.

Hood opens up like a bar saloon door from the old West
Had a PS2 steering wheel permantly mounted to his passenger side dash board along with the racing pedals at the floorboard. Looked like 2 people driving the car.

Later, QD.

[Ex_Vtec_Girl]

hahaha..."that yellow thing"

those pictures can't be too old...isn't that jeff's old avalanche in the background?

[B16a2 Civic]

yeaah man, that yellow civ was the hottest thign when i first seen it, was it on bags?

[Ex_Vtec_Girl]

yup

[quickdodge®]

Yes it is his truck. He had that truck about 3 years ago. He's got the trailer in tow since he quit driving the car around. Later, QD.

[Ex_Vtec_Girl]

nah, it wasn't 3 years ago

well, maybe it was...damn i feel old!!!

[quickdodge®]

That was back when I was doing SLAP shows. That's how come I remember, lolol. I won the SCCA championship in 2000 and showed in 2001. He had that trailer then, IIRC. Later, QD.

bringin back some memories with those pix paul.... ****tear***

[4dmin]

well considering back 3-5 years ago those cars were nice - it is quite different. back then probably 1-5 cars rolling on 19's, motor swaps were becoming popular in the show scene, wide bodies, fiberglass systems... etc...

i don't get why everyone knocks everything they don't do... everyone is into different things; i don't get drifting but i don't knock it... its cool for some people. shit jeff's civic had more time/money put into that car he could of just bought a Viper.

But they're ugly. There are PLENTY of other people who think that too. I dont really go to car shows to talk to people with "show cars" but I did take my g20 and 240 to a few for fun. Like Tunerfest. Saw alot of garbage there.

90% of the stuff on the cars is from Ebay.

dude you can build a 10sec car off of ebay parts so what is the point? there is always something that you won't like or would do to your ride, but to each their own. i don't give a shit when people say "oh this is rice or that is gay"; b/c many of those same cars are getting 10x the recognition any track car is... 1/2 of the cars in the pix have been in major publications ;)

Just shows how long he hasn't been in this.

Looking at them now I myself wonder why I liked those cars so much. But back then they were the shit. Hell I remember way before that even when racing stripes, uni-wipers were cool, alteezas weren't invented yet (clear tails were in).

Waaaay bacc, when I was 19, bacc in 1989, I brought lowrding imports to the ground in Atlanta. I had a 1980 Datsun 210...no springs, paintedblack, I had the first wheel covers that looked like 5-stars, and I shaved all the handles. Back then, painting stripes on your taillights was the shizzz. I took a bunch of sticker dots(like for school) and put them all over my taillights and painted the lights and took the dots off. Also, in Cali, the shit was flourescent colors. I had one side of my ride painted with neon green accents and the other hot pink. Here is a pic:

What if we're not bench racers but shit talkers that actually race and think show cars are dumb? I don't give a crap about having my car recognized - I can go over speed bumps without going 2 miles an hour and sideways, drive in the rain, and don't worry about a bird shitting on my 20k paint job. :lmfao: :lmfao: Oh. And people who trailer their cars - unless it's not streetable because it runs 9s and has a parachute on the back - that's GAY.

When you have to treat your car like a ming vase - there's something wrong with you. :goodjob:

[Brett]

Ummm Val, excuse me, But how can you bash the people when you did the same thing before the EVO? So once you leave the show side now you are above those of us who still show?

You used to show quite a bit with the civic, so now you bash? Remember your heritage woman!!! :lmfao:

Here was mine back in 2000....LOL

Quite a bit? I went to like 3 or 4 shows with it, then nopi, then decided it sucked, hehe. Plus the civic was always in the damn body shop getting fixed when people would run into it, lol.

Not saying I'm above people who show their cars - point out where I did. I just said I don't see the point of it. I think it's kinda dumb to put all this money into a car and then not be able to drive it because you're scared of ruining something.

Besides, all that is is my opinion. :) Nothing else.

heres what i don't get... anyone can pay to build a fast car, obviously you did... now let me take the average show guy on here... if they spent all of their money on speed and not cosmetics they would be driving faster than 12's hun ;)

different strokes for different folks...

this is going off on a bit of a tangent here, but anyone can pay to build a show car too. actually there's a lot less DIY work with the showcar crowd than there is with the performance oriented folks. so what's your point with that statement?

[4dmin]

^ wrong. there is definately more diy work on a show car... hello you are focusing on the whole car not just the engine bay :rolleyes:

the whole point is what is up w/ the shit talking.. i don't give a shit about drifting and i think its pretty boring, but you seem to like it. do you see me ragging on your ride? ok then. same w/ this why talk shit about SHOW CARS are gay... its funny b/c you see 90% of sponsor booths are filled w/ show cars at every major event (show/drag/drift/etc.)

[Jimmy B]

<~ im building a show truck, i could put a 350 crate motor in it, bump it up to 400+ hp, but why? so i can go fast and get in trouble, get bad gas milage, or only use it at the strip???

i would rather driveit around with less than 100hp, enjoy driving it, and get stares whereever i go!



now, thats ME, im not knocking on drifiting, speed, race, any of that.. but thats not what i want.. i respect and enjoy seeing peopel go fast, but i end up getting in trouble.. lol, so ill go the other way, and get in trouble for "destructin of goverment roadways" by dragging on everyone!!

performance doesn't only happen in the engine bay... most people on both sides of that argument have shops do most of their work so it's more a moot point than anything.

and i agree on the second part, but people will always voice their views on the interweb so there's no sense in letting it get to you. not everyone likes the same stuff and some people are more prone to voicing it instead of letting it be.

yup yup, to be honest...i'd rather females be impressed by the car then males....males will drool over your car if its fast, females dont know shit about that.....but im into makin my car look like nice so i can look it it everyday and be happy with what i've done.

true....but there are other things they notice like the rims and doors.

but then get me wrong, i love performance too, im in teh process of boosting now...i used to own a 1992 Dodge Stealth Twin turbo R/T, i've had my fun of goin fast and gettin tickets.

really? where does performance happen? is it in the APC shift knob you have installed or let me guess that giant aluminum wing for down force... right.

most people do have shops do work for them but it is a dumb statement to say performance cars have more DIY... hello you only focusing on the engine/suspension.

it isn't getting to me i just think people are fucking stupid so i feel the need to say something to try to put a stop to the stupid post :goodjob: i have yet to see a show guy get in here and bash a performance car, but many performance people will turn up their nose to show cars like they have something no one else does.... i know quite a few show cars that would kill most of the cars on here.

[Brett]

This is why I dont go to the Varsity meets, because its a "Speed Oriented" crowd and all they do is talk shit about those of us who do show, But like Paul said, You never see "Show" people bash cars built for speed, no matter how th ecar looks... Why? Simple.. Because we are all in this togther and give respect to what they are into, so why "show" people cant get the same thing still blows me away. After all at the end of the day, we are all into the same thing... Cars and the Atlanta scene, no matter which direction we choose to take it.

Why? Simple.. Because we are all in this togther and give respect to what they are into, so why "show" people cant get the same thing still blows me away. After all at the end of the day, we are all into the same thing... Cars and the Atlanta scene, no matter which direction we choose to take it.


probably cause the performance guy sthink show cars are played out and performance is the new wave of the import scene.

that is what the fucking joke is here... the car scene isn't new... my dad, probably yours and other were in it before us w/ big muscle cars... but you won't see old school, stock car guy talking about someone w/ the same ride w/ custom flames down the car or the guy w/ the same ugly car that is a drag car - why? b/c they have respect for their scene and for what they do.

there is a destinct difference in driving down buford hwy and seeing some white trash or mexican in a geo metro w/ a giant apc sticker or seeing a show car w/ the calibur of alot of the cars that are on here. i know guys on here that have spent 10+k in their show car... thats enough to buy and build some of the fast cars on here - so what is the point?

if you don't like something say "hey this isn't my taste", but don't fucking bash it... i love the comments in this thread b/c most of the people weren't even in the scene 5 years ago let alone 2-3 years ago:jerkit:

i totally agree with you Paul.
Being a show car is more expensive then being aperformance based car, only because a show has to make alot of exterior, interior, suspension and some engine mods to be a real cotender, where as with performance buy a turbo set up and yoru good and upgrade your suspension....i guess its just the personality you have, guess the show car guys are flashy people and teh performance arent.

I spent a rediculous amount of money on my old ride (around 20k). Was it to impress someone else? umm fuck no I did it for myself. I really didnt give two shits what anyone thought about my ride. I wasnt doing it to impress anyone. I always have made a effort not to bash on anyone elses taste. That's immature IMO.

No pics for this situation :(

[Dragonfly5338]

if they spent all of their money on speed and not cosmetics they would be driving faster than 12's hun ;)

different strokes for different folks...

True true, hahaha. But if you spent all the money on cosmetics that I've spent on speed - you'd probably have a body kit and maybe a CD player and tint. Not gonna win nopi with that! 12s are much more exciting!

[4dmin]

i guess everyone here forgets what JDM is...? an excuse for "performance guys" to spend ridiculous amounts of money on their car to impress others... oh i forgot your JDM console or gauge cluster adds 50hp :rolleyes:

this whole thread has turned to shit over stupid comments... you can build anything w/ money...

[djdetox]

what ever happened to joe?

ohh shit....memories! .......Joe's accord!!!

Yea...where is joe at these days?

People who think console or gauge clusters add 50hp are show people getting into performance, haha.

hey...did he sell that car? What about Jeff T, did he sell that beater yet?

[civic95]

I don't see why people spend over $10K on a car to make it run 12's when you can buy a bike for $8K that can run 10's.


That's the rational some of you are using.


Heres some more for you:

Why have a 12 sec car to sit in alpharetta traffic in?

Why build a drag car to go to a track on the weekend, and accelerate in a straight line and get nothing?

Why build a show car to win a plastic trophy

Why build a drift car so you can go waste hundreds of dollars in tires over and over?


Why build a show car, or a drag car and rent an apartment?

You can make an arguement in any direction. Who gives a shit? People do things differently, it may not make sense to you, but that's life. People have different priorities, and people have different goals. They may not be doing the smartest thing in your eyes, and I'm sure they are not trying to

joe has gone through some bad times $$$ and lost his ride... jeff still has the beater but it is not in pieces collecting dust...

I didn't spend 10k to run 12s. More like 2k. :)

I wasn't saying you in general. I know plenty of honda guys that have spent 12K to run 12's.

Point still comes down to is we all are into this for the love of the cars, so it doesnt matter which direction we all go with the cars, we should support eachother just for the love of the "scene" we chose to be a part of.

[Julio]

The good ol debate..
Hey Val,,.. you spend 2 k to run 12's on a car that already runs 13's stock .. correct ?

On the other hand.. You know whats Would also be funny is to go buy Peters hatch and smoke 98% of the imports around here anyways.

[Scrappy]

^ i wanna buy it :( damn this sucks i can, but i would break it

yessir. :D

LOL - this is what's so amusing. It's all my opinion! If you don't agree, don't worry about it!! Everyone takes shit so seriously. Bunch of grumpy ol' bears.

I like cars that are clean. I don't do the whole neons, tv screens, lambo doors, big wheels slammed to the point where it's undrivable. If you don't agree - who cares!!! It makes no difference in my life, therefore, the logical conclusion is that it should make no difference in YOUR life, and if it makes no difference, you shouldn't get angry!

My car is ugly, slow compared to some cars, and dirty as shit! But it's my car and I like it. If you like your show car, then rock on, haha. So what if I think it's dumb?? I'm just an opinionated chick, nothing else! ;)

[HalfBaked]

My car is ugly.

Even if I wanted to dump thousands of dollars into it making it a show car it'd still be ugly.

But I could dump those same thousands of dollars into it and make it go fast. That atleast puts a smile on my face.

It is just wierd, like putting a lot of money into something that really does nothing for you.

[Spyder]

I have been on both sides of it, I have had a semi show car.. and I have had a semi quick car, for me personally I tend to enjoy the faster over the prettier.. I have helped create some of the most recognizes (both respeceted and laughed at im sure) cars that are(were) out there.. several of which have been posted in this thread. I kinda have a mix of what makes me happy, I cant say that im like some people and I want a fast car that is ugly, I can't say I want a show car either.. what im trying to build is somewhere in between, a mixture of the two if you will.. and when it is done noone will like it because it isnt a "show" car and it isnt a "race" car... but I will be happy so fuck the hatters.

[Ex_Vtec_Girl]

i won't like any car you build just because i don't like you! :D

^^^ Hell yea, lolol. And Albert's car sucks, still. Later, QD.

[HiPSI]

really? where does performance happen? is it in the APC shift knob you have installed or let me guess that giant aluminum wing for down force... right


you got me, it's my APC shift knob and my bigass aluminum wing that equals performance, along with my stickers to complement both mods.

I would never spend that much on a Civic hatch even it runs 9's.

I'd spend 12 on a nice daily that runs 12s. Then spend the rest on college to get a job that will pay me to buy better cars and so on.

UM no we weren't we were Pioneers on tha scene and we (and others)started what it is today. My car back then wasn't with a big wing and stuff it was cleanly done so not everyone was considered a ricer! We started and the ricers took that and made it out of control so watch who you call a ricer. I was doing this while your mom was still teaching you about getting hair in funny places! Fuck stick.

It's so amazing to me to see wherew the scene started compaired to what it is today
