why do people say he needs to tell his swap, that he needs to do this and that? Everyone that says that also says it don't matter what he has. Then why are they so worried about jumping in and asking him what he has and telling him what he does with his car? This makes no sense.
Back to being stock and slow
Ok, on this "mysterious motor" thing.... I must say that it's something that I don't like either. I really don't see a reason to hide it. Unless you are trying to keep it from being stolen... which usually doesn't work either way if you aren't safe. I've posted up my stuff and so far (Thank God) it hasn't been stolen.Originally Posted by Motivation
When it comes to racing... telling the guy/gal what engine you have isn't going to change anything. In my opinion, it's probably either going to get that person to put everything he has into the race or not race at all. From what I have seen, lying about a setup usually gets you more races. Some reasons maybe because he/she raced the same setup before and beat it. Or almost beat it and would love to run it again to see if he/she has a chance. Whatever the reason, once you beat this person by lengths then that's when questions come up. Or the person probably knows that it's a lie and races anyway, wondering what the outcome will be. Either way, there will be questions.... wait.... I'm fuckin rambling again! There's other things that I could put in here... but a lady is waiting for me to come meet her so I got to cut it short. I'll post more later. laterz
Ummm. It's annoying? Dude is issuing callouts left and right with a take on the world mentality. I asked him about 1/4 mile times and he issues some challenge to race me as if I give a fuck. I used to street race so long ago it now seems like a lifetime ago, and back then there was always those guys who tried to be all aloof and shit about their set-ups.
Many times not telling one's set-up is a great way to make excuses if the race doesn't turn out as desired. It reduces the amount of expectations from others.
Example?
Let's say dude has an H2B swap. If he gets beaten by someone then people can say "man that H2B should be faster because my boy has one and it runs blah blah blah" but if he keeps it a secret he can just make his set-up sound less impressive.
I would say if he runs a certain 1/4 mile time then people can more easily compare it to other set-ups like his, but it sounds like the elusive street racing thing is more his "game" so to speak.
When a topic is bastardizing a section of a message board of course it peaks curiosity. The guy is obviously an attention whore to post multiple call out topics, etc. I can only assume having a "top secret" set-up enhances this attention. Well played, but again pretty annoying. It's pretty presumptuous to assume everyone cares about a set-up that has no proven numbers of any kind.Everyone that says that also says it don't matter what he has. Then why are they so worried about jumping in and asking him what he has and telling him what he does with his car? This makes no sense.
See in the real world people use things like dyno charts, 1/4 mile times, etc. to measure cars. I guess this is where the ghetto mentality of street racing comes in. makes me feel like I'm back at Mooreland Avenue in the year 1998 all over again.
It's one thing to happen upon a guy on the street and have a go, or meet up with friends and have some friendly runs in an isolated area, but issuing call outs, challanges - I'm over that sort of shit.
I guarantee if he went to the strip and posted anything less than 13s in the 1/4 mile nobody would give a fuck what the set-up is.
I gaurantee you are an idiot. and N/A honda pulling sub 13 times without any shop help is impressive.

Or maybe you meant less as in higher than 13's.
Who cares.. Whether or not you know what he has, won't change him beating you in a quarter.
I think everyone is getting pissy just because you won;t know what he had in the car when his car beat yours
I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.
"Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary.... that's what gets you"
thats exactly what it is.
Not trying to take sides but you dont know who b18c5 is....he has already been sub 13s a few years ago...
11.7@116- All motor H2B Integra
And that's fine. It was more of a generalized statement. But saying that a sub 13 second civic with no nitrous, or forced induction is nothing, is a little naive...

honestly if he isnt gonna tell u wat setup he is running u think he is gonna just come out with wat he runs in the quarter?
he also does have proven quarter mile times and dyno sheets- he doesnt post em up but he does have them
and im not 100% sure how often u get on here but im sure you proly have some kind of warped preception of wat is really goin on with all the runs and everything because of where u get some of your info - people run their mouths about people to much and make stuff up on here way to much
