No and no. wrong about both of those statements holmes ;) and its not all about the motor. But it is swapped and fixed. And has a few more changes now. :goodjob:

alright my personal opinion here but kendal and andrew have the cleanest with kyle and scots old hatch not far behind, blandon has the gangstaest and me and teymur have the quickest... but can wait to see brooks... also i think luke has one of the gangstaest da true gsr supercharged... especially when he repaints it here in the next week or so

...maybe to a motorhead. But here again it's a case of different people interested and looking for different things - I'm a suspension freak, you're all about speed. Which is fine - doesn't make one more important than the other. :)

I think that a car nominated for "best" anything should satisfy a multitude of peoples intrest not just one side of the import community. Have an all around nice setup from top to bottom and not worry about if anything is "uncool" to everyone else. Above all that matters is that it performs well in any and all tasks that it is built for.


Just my opinion

If I remember correctly there's an imported captiva blue eg running around there that's clean as hell. Me and rich you to see it all the time.

For the most point I agree but remember; performance never goes out of style. Most of the cosmetic/aesthetic trends change up every couple of years.

I would have to agree with you on the cosmetic portion due to the changes from year to year. That is why if you are looking to satisfy a community that is so diversed you should do it to satisfy the majority. I personally haven't seen the point in pleasing the masses but to some people it is important to look "cool." Hence the last portion of the post was not to worry about what is "uncool" to everyone else.

lol.

This thing with suspension is that its not like horsepower where more (under the curve) is always better. If you think your suspension leverage is hot shit then you better be able to tell me your wheel rates and the suspension leverage for the "pendulum" setup in the rear.

I'm not trying to talk down to anyone, but there are a lot of people who drop big money on shiny parts without actually doing the research to know how those changes will affect their car. If anyone needs help in learning stuff get a hold of me, I love teaching people about the more complicated and often ignored facts.

training at Benning for a few schools. I'll only be around for 8-9 months or so.

when's everyone going out? I wanna see these hatch's!!!

any decently priced junkyards in columbus? I need a k20z3 transmission just for mockup and I need it dirt cheap.

Hit up matt prather he might have one. I'm sure you have no idea who that is tho lol. Anyway, check out bama salvage in phenix city or faulks I think it is ? Both huge yards in phenix city. You should come out and kick it man. I think everyone should be out and about since its so nice outside

If u fond Come get my info. I need a spare. Already destroyed one transmission and I need to build my track one next.

four day weekend too. I just got a heads up about Starbucks tomorrow night and will most likely stop in there. Does matt prather have a screen name on here? Thanks for the tips on the junk yards I'll look them up and give them a call.

do you still have the destroyed one? that'd be ideal for what I'm doing. Mine is at my friends shop (synapse turbo) getting the once over before we install and dyno tune it all.

I dont think he is on here but he is on k20a.org I think his tag is rsxmatt85 or something like that

Im not studying the "times" im over the low, scraping,loud exhaust,rattling and just the feeling of being in a older car to begin with. Once i get rid of the beater i have ill be buying another beater thats newer and more luxury then a gsr swaped civic ex with mounts that vibrate the shit outta it or road noise.

Mr. knowitallsmartass thinks if you want a car that handles well buy a honda. If you want a car that goes straight fast buy something else.

Mr. knowitallsmartass also confused about how you start by bragging that your suspension setup is top notch and follow it up by saying that you are setup to go straight.


I already said I'm not trying to talk down to anyone. I'm a not a dick in person I promise. But I feel like you shouldn't talk highly of a cantilever suspension setup in your car if you don't know what your leverage and wheel rate is. I'm building a cantilever setup for my car, but I'm not going to do it until I've done all the math and understand it. I'm willing to bet that you have no idea what both of the main advantages that a cantilever setup offers you or in other words why you have that on your car. I'm more than willing to send you some info and reading materials and help you understand it to get the most out of it, but instead you call me a know it all.

I got matts number mafdark. I got you in touch with blandin who made the suspension that jp has now.

James, that's my new car.

Claye I'm going out to eat and then I'll be at sonic or wherever

this is also true fact is honda is not the best at either... there 4cyl lol and i did a honda to be diff because alot of the guys i hang around during the week are v8 guys

Mr. knowitallsmartass also confused about how you start by bragging that your suspension setup is top notch and follow it up by saying that you are setup to go straight.

and i never said it was top notch... most ppl ride on ebay coilovers and stock struts

and i think i know how it works, i just simply want it as stiff as i can get it so it will plant the front tires harder but technically i got it for lookss ive worked around dirt cars my whole life that is all about the suspension and has alot more adjustments than just leverage and wheels rate... matter of fact i can prob teach you a few things... not being a dick but you should really know the person before you start trying to sound all smart and get technical

Love how the boy with the girl colored civic runs his mouth about others cars when his looks like the front end was shot up with a fully auto pellet gun, and the bumper is hacked to hell, carbon fiber hatch and duckbill but nothing else?? :thinking: Who tha fuck spends days painted factory wheels then trying to rock them like there rega masters or some shit.
