    3) Look i understand the fads, ive been doing this ALOT longer than 90% of you. Ask Jay, his brother built my first motor. Dino and Jay had NA cars long before i ever did. I was the only white guy at Auto Option lol

    The problem with the fads, and im not going to name names, is the punk ass kids that are into them. Tom aka B18C5_EH2 has spoon wheels on his EG hatch. But you know what, he doesnt stunt and act like a complete tool bag to people.

    Now, you may not know me, or what i look like, but i find myself from time to time , unfortunetly, at places alot of the people on this board frequent. I see what you guys do and its LAME. (thats not a personal shot to you, im saying this in general).

    When you have a 140hp car but like to TALK SHIT to kids that have ROTAs cause you have some uber rare Volks that you paid way too much for, you are a RICER.

    I really wish i could just flame some people on here by name, but its not worth the 20 pages of shit it will bring. You forget i worked at shops and interacted with these people for YEARS.

    There is something to be said for a nicely lowered car with some nice wheels, but this current trend is a bunch of POSERS that like to lean on their car like Paul Walker in a parking lot cause they think cause they have a honda with some stupid mexican offset they are some JDM elitist.

    I know guys with SPoon Brakes, that TRACK their car, or make over 300whp in their ITR. I know guys with super rare JDM wheels that dont act like complete douche bags to other people that DONT have those wheels.

    I just love how you guys (in these trends) love to sit there and post your $3000 wheels an pat each other on the back like you just figured out cold fusion or the cure to cancer.

    Ive said this 1000000 times, its not the trends, its the attitudes of the kids DOING the trends.


    Dont want to go fast, dont go fast, no one says you have to. But dont act like a prick in your little click either.



    EDIT: I Never flamed or bashed Evan, i just thought it was funny of all the things to do when you are bored, painting an ECU cover would be 22108435714319332049810924/3.14 would be the last on my last
    "Rice" is as much or more the mentality of the owner as the mods themselves.

    exactly, like you had porsche calipers on your car, but you arent a complete asshat and you fabricated shit and made it work. It had function, you tracked your car, blahblahblah

    You didnt sit on IA all day telling your buddies to post
    "CLEAN!"
    "HONDA-TECH STATUS!"
    "SICK"

    all day and you didnt make fun of people that had stock brakes.

    No need to make fun of anyone with stock brakes, one pass over a mountain behind me with oem honda brakes and you'll learn real quick lol!

    On the Honda challenge cars we ran aluminum wings and ALWAYS got shit for it by other teams. The Del Sols would run well over 140mph at Road Atlanta [and the Prelude was clocked doing 151 in the back stretch]. Without them the cars would rotate way too much in the turns and was too unstable at higher speeds. Put that same wing on a street car and it would look ridiculous lol! Nothing like blowing past 100% full race 911's and BMW's at VIR going up to the roller coaster during sprint and endurance races then veteren drivers coming to our paddock afterwards asking what's in that thing...200+whp, about $8k in suspension, and years of aerodynamic testing = a quick car.
