    As for this comment, what would you like to discuss? Started in '91 and showed until 2000. I did shows in Daytona, Myrtle Beach, Panama City, Pigeon Forge, Mobile, Greenville, Savannah, Macon, Columbus, Birmingham, All over Atlanta, Carollton, and other smaller towns doing shows, charity events, putting on events and judging. Did good? Yeah.


    nice... to me... it feels good for others to be able to enjoy all the hard work put into the cars...

    I agree. But jumping on a board and trying to act like you are better than everyone else because you do chairty events will set off some people.

    You sure about that? I recall you throwing out that you did charity shows/events, featured in a magazine. Each of those were quickly shown to be moot. Trying to sound like you've been "there." But I also notice that you keep skimming right past my myth-busting capabilities. Shows me that you know I'm right and you have to fight for it.

    I can't speak for AP, but I know I'm better than anyone else.

    You're not being different. That's what you're not understanding. Later, QD.

    MAYBE NOT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS... BUT SHOW ME ANOTHER CAR JUST LIKE MINE AND I WILL SAY THAT YOU ARE RIGHT... AND I AM NOT DIFFERENT... BUT THE ARE ALL DIFFERENT IN THEIR OWN WAYS... ALL THE STUFF MAY HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE... BUT IT IS THE COMBINATION FOR WHICH YOU PICK FOR YOUR CAR THAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT...

    UUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh.....



    You caught me off guard there. I thought you'd come back with something halfway intelligent. Looks like the joke's on me this time.

    I notice, once again, no argument for the "I'm better than you" deal.

    Oh well. Live and learn I guess. But you just live. Later, QD.

    Not looking for kudos, just responding to what you had posted up. And the new project is in the planning stages and I will be back at shows again.

    We are not trying to "run you down" but give you some insight as to what the car scene sees. Statements you made will make you look like you study F&F and "Living the Low Life". I give you props for building what you like, I have already said that. You have taken time, money, and imagination to get the car to this point and for that I applaud you.

    I will advise you to read on Honda-Tech about what has been done to some engines and design your build from there for that. As for the interior, I understand what you are doing just not the correct terminology. My advice to you is to stop acting like your car is the end all be all of Honda's. Hit up a couple of "real shows" and size up what your comp. will be. In case you need help with figuring that out, you are in the wild class. Look for that class on the reg. sheets in the dash at shows.

    That is nice but if you used a little more tact and offered suggestions instead of just bad comments that would be more helpful and would be taken alot differently... I know it isn't as funny as just calling someone out to be daft... but it would gain more points for you experts...

    If you knew my normal style of (what you call) being "crule," you'd see that I'm not really getting at you. You built your car up to something that it clearly isn't and we tried telling you this and you got hurt feelings and you're taking everything said as if we were attacking you. They're not bad comments, but you're taking them that way because we don't like your car and the way you presented it.

    And I'm not after any "points." Later, QD.

Have accomplished everything i said and am doing what i said... really not sure where you are going with that comment.

    I am just honest and respond to what I see. I cannot offer suggestions as this is not my car and we do not have the same taste nor vision. Now if you would like tips on how to prepare your car for a "real show" I can help you with that. I can give you pointers on what to make sure the judges see when judging. I have also offered advice on where to go to look at building the motor and set ups. There are some on here that can give you in depth advice on motor buildups if you ask.

    Thanks I appreciate that...

    Like I said about the motor... I want to build something not been done before with the engine i have... that is why i went with the TT nitros set up... not building it for race... but for originality.
