Riceburners != good.

The logic is correct.

This is exactly why American Car Manufacturers are in financial trouble right?....They love their Firestones!.....It should be more like:




ford >= chevy >=dodge = pop a tire, roll over a couple of times, and pray to survive

Thats funny. Daimler-Chrysler is one of the fastest growing companies right now, profit and market share.

btw, it is Dodge>GM>Ford

this is hot deal section correct?? all i see is people bashing one another. It makes me sick how pathetic some people are

I have a urethane kit on my car... love it... when I got it, it was literally bent out of shape when i took it out of the box. Scared the crap out of me... then I let it sit for awhile, and within an hour or... voila! thing just bent itself back into the original shape. The kit was definitely more expensive than fiberglass. But you get what you pay for.

 

[davinci73]

those prices are good, but he kits are crap quality. Remember that installation required for those bodykits will usually cost much more. Lots of prepwork is required and that takes time which will cost mucho $!

Also his prices on his other stuff are not that great either.

If you want to order anything from the big 4 (Blitz, apexi, hks, greddy), let me know and i'll hook you up. just shoot me a email: questions @gotboost.com

Actually, Subaru is the only car company that has all wheel drive standard on all their models. Also, Subaru has been the World Rally Champion multiple times. The Impreza WRX has been recognized by all the leading car magazines as an all around excellent driving machine with awesome acceleration and handling for the price. And what's up with people trying to say American cars are better? They suck, American trucks are some of the best, but the cars suck. But I guess the guy with the heavily modified Cavalier could care less.

I'm not trying to say American cars are better, I just have never seen a Subaru WRX win any local SCCA events. Sure, with factoy sponsor ship, and funding I guess they could be built to win, but stock for stock, it's all those American cars that suck. Oh and WRX is not the car to bring to a 1/4 mile track either...It also loses to those American cars that suck, and Hondas, and Toyotas. I'm not trying to say that Subaru's suck...I know plenty of people that have hundreds of thousands of miles on them, they just aren't race cars.

Buy american you losers!... etc. etc. etc. ....

Just shut up man. You've got nothing useful.

heh.. its funny to read you guys clowning the subaru owners on the *looks* of his car.. personally.. im done with the whole looks fast thing.. i use to own a 2000 absolutely red toyota celica gts 6 speed.. i guess u can say im one of the original owners.. before the whole *looks fast* marketting from toyota.. just to sell the car for its looks.. and when that same action package cost much more than it does and wen it was known as the TRD kit..

and for those honda owners who are uninformed.. wen the gts came out back in 1999.. it was the 2nd fastest in its class.. next to the type r.. the "o beloved praised car by all the honda owners.." but something to think about is.. the type r.. is a limited edition race ready car.. with more horsepower.. which also cost more.. including the huge mark up.. just for that type r badge.. but for the type r.. to only be .4 faster than the gts.. please.. by the numbers.. mag racing..
type r = 14.5 1/4 mie
celica gts 6 speed = 14.9 1/4 mile

in reality.. the gts has been able to hit 14.8 stock.. as my friend has.. and have the timeslips.. but getting to the point.. the gts is faster than a prelude, integra ls, gs, gsr, 99-00, 02 civic si.. and yes the prelude h22 does have more hp.. but also considering how much that tank weighs.. the hp/weight ratio doesnt work out.. because if it did.. it should be faster than the type r.. but however the lude will pull on the gts and the type r on the top end.. and with the new rsx type s.. yea it has 200 hp.. but weight also has to be in consideration.. so no the rsx type s is not the gts killer because that is a driver race.. unless the celica is a 2002 or the automatic.. but thats a whole different story.. hope ive informed u honda guys..

now with the wrx.. that will be my next car.. unless the evo is around the same price which i highly doubt.. yes the wrx is a nice car.. i can get it for 22k.. same price as a new rsx type s.. celica gts.. less than an lexus is300.. bmw 3 series.. but outperforms all of those cars.. awd turbo.. the best of both worlds.. ive already experience the good looks fast thing.. but for real performance and something that will have potential.. the wrx is the way to go.. as far as a new car.. and also to add.. the wrx does GRIP good on the road due to the awd.. but as well as HANDLING.. mite be another story.. dont over-estimate awd and understeer off the cliff or into a wall because u think awd is god..

well thats my .02..

note: i based everything on the cars being stock.. because with modifications any car can be good..

and to stay on topic.. body kits are koo.. if u have the performance to back up the fast looks..

wow, you know so much

thanks for your "info" but i take it with a grain of salt considering you own a celica. buying a car isnt all about 0-60 times. i was in the market for a new car last year in the 20k range and considered the GTS but decided against it because the interior build quality wasn't as good as other cars. (i'm not just making that up, its in most reviews/comparisons). the interior quality of the integra/prelude is just better. most reviews said the interior of the celica wasn't very refined and had a lot of road noise. if all you want is fast spend about 4,000 on a used 240x and SR20DET engine and your set. btw i ended up buying an accord so 0-60 times dont mean much to me.

 

[Otaking]

Aww..no one's said anything specific about German cars yet.

I'm happy with my GTI - jealous that I wasn't able to get a 337, but still happy nonetheless. Keep dubbin'!

Oh, good deals on those body kits, btw. If I were good at body work, I might consider doing stuff to my girlfriend's civic, but sometimes it's best to leave things stock. I don't like having to mess with manufacturer's warranties and stuff. It's a real pain when your car's still under warranty, and something goes wrong with the engine, and the dealer refuses to work on your car because of "modifications."

 

[BigPappaBuck]

Well since this is a hot deals forum this post i'm about to make is within the rules. By far unless you by a ricer to get to work or just for transportation it is by no means a hot deal. People stick loads of money into these things and what do the have a civic that still barely manages to run 13's. *LOL* All I own is cheverolet and let me tell you they are the best deals around, parts interchangability and prices are unmatched. Right now I drive a 85 S-10 i put in a 350 and a centerforce clutch and it blows any ricer around me out of the water. The other day i beat a guy in a civic that just blew 20 grand on a turbo a body kit and paint job and some other sh%t so far total including purchase price i only spent four grand on my S-10. plus resale is a lot better on the domestic cars than the ricers. I have a 67 camaro and if i stuck 10 grand into it i could sell it for 40 grand. lets se you do that with a civic plus i only paid 1,600 for my camaro. The only advantage that ricers have that i can see is there cost to insure vs. a camaro or other domestic sports car is a lot cheaper. Plus safety is by far better on american cars. I hit a ladie with my S-10 at 5mph (she slamed on her brakes after a stop sign stupid old people) it did 100 bucks worth of to my truck and 3 grand worth of damage to her car. Plus nothing sounds like a american v-8 there isn't a sweeter sound in the whole world. I'm working on a 86 Monte Carlo SS right now it's a rust free texas car i'm dropping in a 500 hp 600 ft/lb of tourqe chevy small block 406 with a 200 shot of NO2 that's Nitrous Oxide not NOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOS is a company not a product it stands for Nitrous Oxide Supply. I'm bolting up some 17's to a global west suspension kit and corvette brakes. The combo is guarented to pull over 1 g on the skid pad the total price will run around 12 grand. Now that's what i call a hot deal. This is assuming that you know how to work on your own car and do most of the work yourself like I do. Wow 14.8 quarter mile times is smoking NOT! By buddies 69 camaro runs 9's constantly a real nice looking car with a 468 big block sure it doesn't get 30mpg but who cares when you can lift the front tires off the ground.

again it depends on everybody.. if performance was priority.. yes 0-60 and 1/4 mile times is wat buying a car would be about.. how could u compare the interior build of the interior on the gts.. wat are ur complaints.. ill tell u straight up.. the only problem i would say would seem like cheap build quality is the interior ceiling.. other than that the interior was gorgeous.. cockpit like interior.. the dash.. as far as the integra and prelude.. ive riden, driven several.. and build quality is just the same (interior).. only thing it beats the gts in the interior department would be the ceiling like i mentioned before.. but the interior in those cars a dated.. old.. and from what you said that you didnt care about 0-60 ft times.. this would be something that means much to u.. looks..

road noise.. hah.. hearing the car soar to 8300rpm passing up tegs and ludes and accords.. the noise never bothered me.. maybe i guess if ur of old age and not into the noise of high rpms then it would be bothersome to drive.. hence u dont by a car classified as a sport compact..

yea u dont have to tell me about the sr20det.. sr20det redtop in a s14.. rwd turbo.. good combo.. if i was looking into a used car.. that would be good.. however basing on new cars.. wrx.. and if u wanted a fairly newer used car with a swap.. ej20 in the gc8 imprezas..

nice setup.. however.. calling imports ricers.. how ignorant.. are you guys proud to say you beat a 4 banger? a 4 banger compared to ur v8 monsters.. remember its just a 4 banger.. the mentallity you have is probably about the same they have in japan.. where the real japanese sports cars (which u guys calls ricerS) are.. i just wonder wat they call people like u.. i even wonder if they have a american car market in japan.. oh well..

wats the deal of not being able to say *NOS* for short for nitrous oxide.. i dont understand why people always point that out.. NOS does stand for nitrous oxide systems.. which is a company.. true.. but i dont understand why people always say.. NO ITS NOT NOS.. its nitrous oxide.. wen the short term NOS = nitrous oxide system.. please inform me..

[gregtor]

People are so defensive about their cars, all I have to say is if you like your car and enjoy driving it thats all that matters. If the guy next to you likes a 4 banger then let it be, i'm sure if he really wanted to he could buy a v8, and vice versa its all about choices that why we live in america.

amen bruthas

 

[Cable God]

Haha, no one around here runs the clear tail lights anymore since police started writing tickets for improper lenses, etc. They stay hard on "ugly" cars around here thank god.

Since we've got a decent sized group here, I need to ask:

What in the hell is the sense of that huge rear spoiler? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it generates downforce. But why? These are front-wheel drive cars. The downforce is being applied to the back of the car, which, in effect, lightens the front of the car.

What am I missing here?

I never understoof the reason behind them either. I also never understood why they put dual exhaust on a 4 banger either.

 

[WarSong]

The spoilers are just for aesthetics. Anyone that tells you they have it for "downforce" is trippin. I don't think they even start generating downforce until something like 150mph. My integra is only rated to go 135 so it wouldn't help me there Most of the spoilers are flimsy (sp.?) and look they are going to break anyways. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the import scene, i just understand it's mostly about looks (for the majority)

suprisingly, the american cars in Japan are very popular. Also I heard that the skyline will be coming to america in 2004. It's got 400 HP!!! How do u like rice rockets now!! LoL

The Japanese version does. It'll never pass emissions though. It'll be a dumbed down version

 

[Mist3rMischi3f]

Damn...this thread is mad heated

-The Subaru WRX is AWESOME, and I think it looks GREAT. The interior is kinda cool looking, but it could use some better material to make it look better.

-American SUVs, trucks and vans own. American sedans, coupes, and such...that's another story. They are pretty durable, almost up there with Hondas and such Ppl will be driving Ford Tempos and Tauruses forever (which is kinda sad )

-Japanese cars are SO durable, it's not even funny. And I love the fact that you can mod them and gain a lot of power. It's almost like the thrill of OCing your computer parts...

-At the end of the day though...German cars pwn j00!!!1 BMW M-cars are JESUS...

 

[tommigsr]

adding a bodykit to any vehicle makes it look more agressive, doesn't necessarily make it fast, but it does look perdier..as far as the wrx is...yea sure it's powerful, but it's fugly. Enough said...I'll stick with my 260hp TL-S

 

[misterj]

wrx= cool but fugly. domestics= more power available, but again, fugly.

anyways, ya the kit prices are average. look to the links previously mentioned.

as far as fiberglass durability, i had a mugen clone on a crx dropped 2.5"+ and never had any cracking/chipping problems. i even slammed into a curb and barely a crack.
maybe its more related to drop height/driver habits i dunno. and ive never curbed my rims or tires.. i dont see how people can misjudge a curb and damage their costly wheels =/

any good / cheap places to get ultra white lights

 

[Jeshurun]

I've seen a lot of kids selling off their modded Hondas lately in my area and they're all asking incredibly high prices for them- like $8000 for an 89 Civic with body damage... I know that it COSTS a lot to do all that to your car, but wouldn't it hurt the resale value? You couldn't take it to a dealer for trade-in could you? I dunno, it seems like fun to do, but my concern would be trying to turn around and sell it/trade it in and getting totally shafted 'cause it's all modded out...
