I Dont Get It...

[Crazy Asian]

u r saying you dont like civic's b/c people mod them all the same? thats the case with many cars. u having alot of jdm on your car does not make u any different than all the civic owners that do the same. i do agree that buying a 2nd car thats the same as ur 1st is just retarded.

No that's not what Im saying look at my first post. If you did a project civic or integra why do you go back to it? That's what my point is and then also when you got to do your next civic or integra WHY THE **** DOES IT LOOK THE SAME!!!???? That's my point. It makes no sense. Ugh. If it was a 93 hatchback and you swapped it for a what 07 Civic Si then I would understand but if you get another oh 95 hatchback for another project WHY????!!! AND WHEN YOU MOD IT WHY THE HELL DOES IT LOOK THE SAME AS THE 1ST ONE!!!!??

Ugh I cant wait till I sell my Prelude and get something much nicer.

i think what messedup that year lancer was the fact that the newer one was alot beter... or so i heard.

what messed up that lancer was the fact it sucked.... limited tunability on a SOHC 2.0l. if you wanted power, you had to boost. if you wanted boost, you had to build.
and there were NO easy swaps, and NO easy ways to get power. plus everything was expensive as hell.

crazyasian, i need hook-ups like that. my rota's are no advan RGII's.
santa, next year, i want some 16x8" Advan RGII 4x100

[Lucky.]

you know what i hate........white civic/integras with red wheels, ive seen about 10 around Atlanta that looks exactly the same.

[redpanda]

I kind of agree. The import modding scene is going down IMO. One day, I would love to get my hands on a oldschool Nova or a genuine domestic

[Thighs]

Dude who said the parts were expensive. I got them for ridiculous price. JDM Hood insulator cost 450 dollars brand new. I got mine for 100 bucks. ????
I have friend's in Cali who live off a grand a week afford Volk Rims or Work Rims cuz they know hookups. If you know the right people you get it the price you want.

question... why do you have this part? what advantage does a hood insulator give you? i dont have ANY hood insulation. WTF

[Crazy Asian]

Dampens the sound of the engine. Not much but is a bling factor. No USDM cars came with it. Prelude did not come with anything spectacular. Most all JDM PReludes have that. I hated having a CF hood cuz so much time and effort was needed to take car of that. So I got a JDM Type S hood and it came with it. The hood cost me only 100 bucks which came with it. So it's not bad.

[Thighs]

haha you jdm whore. i dont think that adds any to your bling factor... if ur going for bling u shouldve stuck with the cf. i wont get one b/c of the work required and the fact that it would completely ruin any potential autox competition by putting me with the SM cars...

im jk bout the jdm whore thing... kinda...
i thought you actually bought a hood insulator for your car b/c it was jdm... i was like WTF.

[Crazy Asian]

Nah there's reason why some USDM cars have em which is too reduce the sound of engine some what. I have no idea why but ya.

[Thighs]

eh... extra weight... ill pass. too many fancy...

what other completely useless jdm crap do you have on the lude? haha

[Stormhammer]

As a Starion owner, my second car was devoted to being the daily and dependable driver Granted, I really thrashed on my Starion when the engine was going out on it

[JITB]

i payed 180$ and waited 3 months for a familia rear garnish for my protege.. i was sooo happy when i got it tho...

[BKgen®]

Nowadays Ive seen so many Civics and Integra's barely any surpass me as WOW...that everytime I see one I want to blow one up.

so true +1

It also protects the paint on the hood from engine heat.

the 17 year old paint on my hood is just fine without it... under the hood and on top.

speaking of my car... i think ill wax it today.

not all cars heat transfer the same under the hood.. my svt contours hood, would prob go up in flames if it wasnt for the insulation it had. some hoods need it!

damn if you can set your metal hood on fire you got some problems lol

How about you take YOUR money and do what YOU want to YOUR car and then let other people take THEIR money and do what THEY want to THEIR car?

I think Preludes are ugly cars that start out way too damn heavy...I also think that spending money on "JDM" goodies that would not otherwise be recognized by the average person until you mention it is a waste of money, BUT it is YOUR car and YOUR money to do with as you please, so I don't say anything and we both go on doing our things.

Some people buy the same car a number of times over, so what? It is not your money they are spending, so get the **** over it.

im guessing your one of the guys with like 3 identical tegs...

[GAtegs]

No, just one...but so what if I did?

[Thighs]

No, just one...but so what if I did?

why would you? that would be kinda dumb.

[bigdare23]

LOL@Thread


If I had it my way, I would buy every crx I saw for sale LOL


But then again, I don't cut corners on my ride either.

[GAtegs]

why would you? that would be kinda dumb.

Maybe I really liked them...

Maybe I wanted a different one for a different kind of racing...

Maybe I liked to see a row of them parked next to each other...

It doesn't really matter why, the point is that it is my money to do with as a please and you shouldn't bother yourself with it.

[yudalicious]

LOL@JDM insulators. LOL@pots calling the kettle black. LOL@ total thread failure.

[Crazy Asian]

If you buy an integ and finish it the way you like...why do you go buy another one AND MAKE IT THE SAME!!!!??? SAve up and get something new. It gets stale afterwhile.

And the Prelude is done. I just need it painted, sell it, and get a SUV or soemthing. I cant stand imports anymore. Im done with the scene.

do you race? and if you built a different ar for different types of racing, you wouldnt have several identical ones, would you?

and if you dont anyways, then why the f*ck are you arguing with me about it? i can have my opinion if i want and i can voice it whenever i want.

[GAtegs]

I do race, yes, but that is not in question here.

If I did build different cars with different setups, no, they would not be identical, but even if I was into racing and just liked having a couple of the same cars, what are the chances that they would end up being "identical"?

The OP was talking about buying another of the same car, people do that all the time, but I have never seen it done where the next car is "identical" and since it isn't, why does it bother you that it is the same car and they didn't move on to something new?

[Thighs]

what kind of racing do you do?

[GAtegs]

Drag racing when I can, why?

I hear ya, I'm not saying they are expensive for me, and I admit it's all about who you know. Not hating on you, or anything. Just trying to look out for the broke ass people out there, yah know.

[Crazy Asian]

Ya I maybe going domestic or euro. I may stick to imports but no more honda's or acura. Lexus GS or Infiniti G or M. I feel like a old man so I want somee luxurious and leather. Automatic climate control and heated seats. Jeez.

[Thighs]

go with an old school bimmer
