240 Confession

[Maeda]

I was talking to my girlfriend in the car the other day and she called me a poser. I was so ****ed off... Then i started to think about it.

-Intercooler thats not attached to anything
-Gauges that monitor nothing important yet
-Wide tires that i can't push yet
-nice new yellow parking sticker
-fat n1 dual exhaust
-turbo timer on a nonturbo car
-boost controller on a nonturbo car
-engine management thats set to stock

so im confessing right now. i'm a poser!

(The point of this post was to highlight the fact that i got an exhaust, which I enjoy very very much, because now my car can actually accellerate after 50 mph. I don't really enjoy the extra noise though.)

lets see how many flames i get =D

you're not a poser, you a planner...

all you need is a turbo and now everything has some use..

now if you have fake electronic BOV.. thats lame.

whens the turbo going on? what kind of turbo? this sounds like it should be an interesting setup.

[swikked240]

ima have to agree on the whole intercooler thing w/ no turbo....

[Anubis]

i think you should have got the turbo first, instead of all those gauges and meters etc.

[Maeda]

i did, but parts take time to make... tons of time, so long infact that i sourced the rest of my setup... got bored... installed my setup except the exhaust mani and turbo...

as of current it is STILL being fitted for the exhaust mani...

but the real point was i got my N1 duals :D . I also got the strange burnt marshmellow smell too...

[Anubis]

what kind of manifold are you going to run? I was thinking about fabricating one for my s14 for a while. But i dunno anymore.

[mistert]

she's talking ****, what, does she have an RB swap or something?

[Dousan_PG]

poser..ya she's right
especially about the intercooler
but the tires, guauges, etc are ok (even turbo timer, it is ok for NA too)

but ya. smart girl :p
but girls suck (litterally too). they take your money from getting the car done. so f*ck them..(litterly too) :p

[nrcooled]

If you ask me you are drawing unnecessary attention to your car. I was scared to put the FMIC on my car because of the theft atention alarm or no alarm. Personally I wouldn't have taken the same route as you but to each their own. Just get the rest of the setup on and make sure your fueling is good:D ;)

many na cars use turbo timers to cool down after racing

[toddnappi]

your girlfriend knows too much about cars.

girls who know about cars ROCK. too bad all the girls my age who know jack didly are quite mannish.

[240silvia]

I think that it is un-needed attention. You should of just kept the stuff at your house. Then, when you got the turbo, put that stuff on. As for your girl, ask her if she will help with your turbo pipe.

[robinlow88]

Wow your gf knows about intercooler??!!

Cool!!

My ex-gf cannot even pump air in tires!!

HAHAHA!! my ex gf Never seen wat was under her hood!!! nor did she know about adjust headlights!

Yeah, the intercooler thing is definately poserish, but the N1 Dual and fat tires certainly aren't. N1 Dual is good for N/A engines as well as turbo applications and the fat tires are for lateral handling as well as extra grip for a high output powerplant. Imo: you should take off the intercooler. I think it was a good idea to dry fit it, but not to drive around with it like that. Besides, then you get to keep it in the house where you can walk by and smile every time you see it :)

[nurspecsil]

this is funny. My girlfriend knows too much for her own good!! She always gets in arguements with other girls over nice cars and rice cars. it is pretty funny to watch!

She said she would help pay for all my mods if she got to pick the wheels. I was a little bit scared but when she picked out 18x9 and 18x10 Volk GTC in gold i new she was a keeper!!!!!

[gsracer]

for my birthday my g/f got me 17 inch buddy club p1 racings in gunmetal, i would say you got a keeper there.

[toddnappi]

i still would pick a girl who knows nothing. my girlfriend aspires to one day own a pink audi tt. i taught her how to drive stick but she won't go above 2500 rpm. i dont even think she knows the difference between rims and hubcaps.

Eh, bring it down to 17x9 and 17x10 and I'd agree :)

[Zemus]

Yea my gf is a car girl, not only does she want me to teach her to drift, she is saving currently for a FC (she loves rotorys, crazy girl :) ) But yea, the only think that is sad, she isent a fan of the meshes, but whatever, its all good :-D.

Also, she helps me with my car, and gets dirty :-D Most girls will help but wont lay a finger on anything with dirt, grime or grease, last time we worked on cars, i think she was dirtyer then me

[uuninja]

I don't understand why you took all that stuff out of their boxes? :o

[MNR-Chicago_S13]

My gf thinks her friend's automatic pontiac sunfire is cool. Need i say more?

[syco3d]

My ex-gf looked at my car and said, "Wow...nice probe." :eek:

[MNR-Chicago_S13]

update on my gf. On the way home from school today, she saw a v6 , lazer blue mustang. "Whats that, I want one!?" I didn't even bother to say anything

[crypticfury85]

that is just too funny...

your car better be fast one day

[Maeda]

My manifold is being made custom, as well as my dual fuel rail, and downpipe... supposedly its all done minus one flange =\
When it gets done i'll put this guy up on the board for the curious, because so far the work is "cheap" and he seems like a really nice guy, taken he doesn't run off with my turbo.

I considered taking the intercooler off but I didn't have the time due to summer semester starting... doh... so i'll be a poser for now *snifle*

P.S.
My g/f is so hot when she talks about how I should bolt my manifold, and how I should move the intercooler to a flat position so the air goes in the mouth and up to the intercooler and out via hood scoop. It's also hot when she tells me to buy a commuter car and make this a 100% project car. It's also hot when she talks about joining me for auto-x... Girls that like cars rock!

Agreed...;)

My best friends GF always argues with him because he always talks about cars and so on and so forth. My GF argues with me about how she argues with him about how he always talks about cars!:eek:

That was a mouthfull...:D

Seriously, girls who are into cars are great. My gf as of recently now wants to get a stickshift ride for herself & last night told me she wants to get dirty working on whatever my next project is. Before she used to just watch and say it was kind of a turn on for her to watch but now she wants to join.

Personally, Id be trippin if she touched my car!:eek: But maybe she'll catch on quickly if taught well.

Honestly man the whole IC is REALLY a poser thing... but your girl is hella cool...

As for GF's why don't the realize we only need them for one thing... we don't need their opinions or to tell us what they want to do... cuz it only takes our funds away from the stuff that will take care of us if we take care of it... with a girl no matter how well you treat them... there's always that time of the month or the possibility that they'll **** up...

but I gotta give props to your girl man... the poser thing was right on... just take off the IC and your money!
