i was making 4 cylinders fast before you got your learners license, so don't try that shit with me....i have an immense amount of respect for big power out of little motors, and to this day still love me some single cam monsters

oh dont forget on street tires also

again, you guys don't know me, i don't get worked up....especially over internet banter...just know that i don't need some unknowns approval of whether or not my cars impressive

i'd call that bullshit of a car you two have out, but then i'd be picking on the little guys right? put some spray in it, if it isn't already there, and shut me up

[atlplayerr]

hey man its ALL GOOD if you think its fast then thats all that matters

again, you guys don't know me, i don't get worked up....especially over internet banter...just know that i don't need some unknowns approval of whether or not my cars impressive

[btstone]

i dont tell ppl my set up..even though its broken most of the time. i think its my business. when i wanna run for money, it does help. i dont mind telling some specs of my car. but i think nick is the only guy on here that knows my entire current set-up and track time. its all about trust. ppl have bad habits of spreading info and before long everyone knows!

[atlplayerr]

THANK YOU

i agree with u stone.

if you happen to see a honda with a fmic then you know he is boosted, right?? so the next question would be is he built and how many psi is he running ?? which doesnt really matter cuz some fools push thier bone stock turbo set-ups beyond thier limits and put out damn near the same hp's as a built one would. i could see if someone was trying to do the sleeper look and black out thier intercooler and shit, but its pointless...

I know people that have blacked out intercoolers so they arnt as noticeable and their shit doesnt get stolen while they are in the mall or something.

tru ! so tru! forgot about that reason....

[SpooL'DGsR]

damn this thread has taken off >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sits back and watches....

[KDM>JDM]

evilgoats car doesnt have much money in it at all from what ive seen/heard.....

[Lankhoss]

Well lookey here. A couple more ricers have come in and hijacked a thread, ONCE AGAIN!!

We love you guys.

[Lankhoss]

I guess the better question would be....instead of wondering why people hide their mods, why does it matter to you if people know or not?

[btstone]

yeah, everyone is diff. some build cars for diff reasons. i built mine to race and win some money. i dont even have a roll cage for the one reason of looking street as possible

[Tech5]

I will NEVER tell anyone what I have or mods due to the fact of them trying to steal my shitt.... So yeah call it cocky but atleast my car is not in the stolen section nor have I had anyone of my cars stolen everrr

[C-loS109]

i dont feel like reading 5 pages... but my opinions is that about 70 are just cocky and 30 are just kinda scared of their shit getting jacked...

[whatever210]

guys guys were straying from the point. all im saying is why keep it a secret. why be that crazy about. if your that worried about your car getting stolen then do what i do. stick that shit in your garage,lock the garage,turn the steering wheel all the way till it locks, have some killswitches, and a alarm. thats what i do every time i take i put my car away. all im saying is that you hide your car to be all secretive but you act like nobody has done the swap but you and youve had the first ever secret build that nobodys ever seen before (not directing that towards anybody). just sayin. if im going to race i want it to be in my ball park range. thats all. dont let everybody get all hyped up on 4 cyl crap will beat v8 and how much money is put in your car cause point is.....thats not what this threads about.
and another good point....


1 They race and racers don't like to compare notes. They want the advantage of surprise on their side. Drifters help other drifters get better, racers rarely do, they might loose and winning is everything at the drag strip.

2 They paid someone to make their car go fast and have no idea what they did.

[Incontt]

I tell anyone that asks my mods. I only race for fun...not money so no hustle needed

[whatever210]

x2 isnt all about fun. why so serious people. its like life or death damn

[David88vert]

People ask what mods, and after you tell them, they ask what hp and ETs. When you tell them, they don't believe it, so its easier to say its stock and you don't know the hp or times.

For me, my car sounds a lot faster than it is ("its a Mustang, so it must run 10's"), so its not worth being called a liar from every Joe Blow you meet. Tell them its stock, and the Civics leave you alone. I just post my pics and let them believe what they want.

[DarKStaR]

Cant believe i just read all of that lol

[allmotorX]

^^you aint the only one

[VTECxRoCKz]

.................?keeps u interested in figuring out wut they got i dun stress on what ppl got n i just the type that dont like to floss my shit.once u tell one they all kno so y do i gotta show n tell u gonna cry cuz i wont tell? get over it buddy not that serious

so whats the big deal then? why dont you just tell me then. i come up to you after you win a race and say
"hey man that was realy quick and your car looks great. what all have you done to it."
then you say "nothing much just lowered and a few things."
then i say "oh yeah well it runs great man. major props on how quick it is. what you got under there maybe we can get a good clean run in."
then you say "ah no man its just stock" (after you just got done waxin an super charged cobra that runs 11s)
then i look at you like your crazy and i say seriously and thats where you get all secretaive and dont say anything or mislead me or give me very little info. now i know what it takes to beat something like that but you insist on be a dick about after i congratulate you on a good race then try to race you and ask you what youve got done to it so maybe it could be a good race between us. its stupid and shady. and its happens exactly like that every time. every single time.

then stop asking lol

[Lankhoss]

Yup, no one forces you to hang out with anyone. Once someone does some shadey shit around me, it takes a LOT for me to ever trust or respect them. There are tons of people at car meets, and tons of people who race for fun. The second someone wants to be shadey or secretive, I just move on and talk to other people.

You don't have to get along with everyone, and the people you don't hang out with aren't necessarily your enemies. Just pick and choose the crowd you want to surround yourself with.

Wait, did a DRIFT RACER just call a form of racing "gay?"

Holy shit.

[ls-r teg]

ok fine i wont hide it n e more.....i shoot nawz

[Lankhoss]

What bugs me is when the "sneaky" guys wanna come race me. I'm fine with people who choose to run that way, but if I am going to be up front and honest with people, I'd expect the favor returned or would rather that person just not approach me in the first place.

It's pretty rare to find people who don't respect that, but I've run into a few.

Agreed. IMO it's a disrespect to the art... especially when it's just for fun anyway.
