Thats what I meant, I like them a ton better than the newer ones. Natasha Yi is prolly the best looking to me, and Tila is very hot same with Cherie, there are more hot ones, but I like those the most.

ha! i saw an 80's accord the other day. it was stock marroon with prime rims (must have been at least 14's!!!! whoa&#33<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>, a 3foot aluminum wing, cut springs (he went over the speed bump at the mall...wobble,wobble,wobble), neon green light under the chasis, and on the grill he had LED lights moving back and forth! The first thing that came into my mind was "Knight Rider", only that show was cool. I seriously expected this car to talk or something. if it did talk, it would probably say something like, "Get all these GAY ASS LIGHTS off of me bitch!" to the driver. ha ha, too funny... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Does it really matter that much whether someone knows why the car goes fast if it does? Jeez, most of the riceboys I meet know their parts like their birthday - especially the pimpy JDM stuff.

On the other hand, rice-queens are a fine symbol of everything that's wrong with most people in the "import scene." Bling bling - "Look at my mutt-face and plastic tits!" Ugly girls trying too hard. Just like the ugly, cheap cars trying too hard. I see girls plenty hotter than that walking down the street every day and cars that are way more attractive and sporty. But neither the rice-queens nor the guys in $15K "sports" cars accept just what they are.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

The whole "import scene" smacks of big willy envy. Ever notice how many "crews" have the word "illusions" in their name? You have to love the irony. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

My input,.. Its funny how these people can spend tons of time at races/meets/ shows yet they still dont know jack.. Yes it gets kinda on my nerves because when people hear that im fixin up my car, im sure they think I got the idea from the fast and furious.. etc.. Everyone has a freakin import, and I think its killing our soo beloved "tuner" scene. When I heard a Pep Boys radio add on the local rap station, I literly freaked!! advertising APC products and street glow and Motegi wheels... And had some lame announcers acting like kids, and the sound of a oversized exhuast car peel out...

There are some nice import models, and I do admire them, and then there are the chicks that are just there in groups that only do it because of whatever reason, I mean the ones that are in bunches dont look that good, where as some of the more "individual" models are fine. My favorite models are probably Christine Mendoza and Rowena Galam, They don't have to show nudity, or at least stumped to that low.

dont get me wrong im no ricer. my goal is to make my car quicker than a stock TTZ and also make it look good to.

see, you should just stfu... you do not know anything about cars yourself.. you and your loser idea that a "real sports car" uses a manual.. well, i have about 3 friends with automatics that will kill any car on this board... my brothers automatic maxima takes out 5.0s like nothing.. i dont care weather someone likes something or not but i just thought that your comment was really stupid "automatics are gay" whats with that word? you think a transmission has a sexual desire for men? I wanted to switch to manual.. but I have older friends who own 12, 11, 10 (auto), and 9 second cars and they have all told me if I want my car to run 10s keep it an automatic because its better for consistant times. The fastest import in america with metal body, auto, and 4cyl is a 240sx. But whatever, ive been racing for years and will do everything I can to put my car at a 10 or less with my auto. I really dont give a sh*t what some kids say... There is guys on the Maxima forum running 12s and 11s with autos and stock body with full interior. Ive seen a 4th gen auto pull a 12 myself.

ok wtf.....dont get all pissy becuase i feel the way i do. MAYBE U MISED THE FIRST WORD OF MY POST. IT WAS PERSONALLY. im also thrilled that u noticed me use the word gay and decided to use it against me like i hate gays.

now as for the fact that automatics are gay. that was never aimed at u. my preference is 5 speed. yours may be auto i dont care. i never said auto was no good. i know that most real drag muscle cars are auto or power glide. most rail jobs are either 2 speed or 3 speed auto. notice the automatic 10 second Ford SVT Lightings....am i complaining no. i mean shit if i could have got a auto s14 i would have in a second. the car is awesome and i'd live with auto. but i figure that if im spending x amount of dollars on a car its gonna be waht i want.

autos are gay when some jerkoff in a 4 door civic decides to take his stock car with a combat kit and neons to the strip and wants to run 10s like in the fast in the furious. all he wants to use his car for is cruiseing around his "hood" with his fart can and w7s annoying people.

now thats my explaination. maybee u understand now that i wasnt out to bash matic 240 becuase i was bored....im not out to start a flame war over confilicting feelings....if u still feel that i should stfu and that i dont know anything about cars than fuck u

K heres my opinion on the import "scene"

Ill use an example of something that happined in my town... Ill leave the parts nameless

This kid who was like all into punk music and starting a band.. woke up one day and decided he was a Import Expert.... he got a 1990 Talon for $2000.... painted it... cheap rims... tires... wing.... Cranked up the boost and blew the head... so now hes selling it for $7000 and he claims it has 4 wheel steering... right......  :!:

Anyways he has no idea what hes doing or talking about... i just hope he stays away from 240's and Toyotas  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>

Oh another example of kids waking upto the "scene"
this kid who was hardcore ANTI RICE aka anything not made in America was a ricer.... He called my firends stock '99 Camry a "rice rocket" dispite the fact that its stock and made in Canada... anyways this kid goes and buys a 1990 RS Integra and the kid who has the talon tells the kid with the Integra that his "TEG" is fast because it has a B16 or a B18 motor hes not exactaly sure...... I said after that... it has a B18, you better go read up on engine codes from the last super street...

Its things like this that make me feel almost  shame for owning a import and having people who are just exposed to this kid with the talon and other ppl like that in towns accorss the country and that they think me or my friends are just idiots like most of the them....

Like someone else said earlier.... PPL with knowledge stay away from thr bling bling meet ups @ walmart

I don't mean this to sound assy, but with the average age of the people on this board, that is IMPOSSIBLE.  

There are only a few people on this board over 25.  Imports (limited to Japanese) have been the trendy car at least that last 7 years.  In the late 80's there were VWs but by 1993 some of my friends were adding Eibachs and Lightspeed or RS Akimoto parts to their Hondas.  A couple years later, I was joined the ranks, but was by no means a pioneer.  By the time I bought my Si in 96, the market was huge and the stuff was everwhere.  Most people here would have been in highschool then - IF THAT.  To act self-righteous over being "into" imports is ridiculous unless you were doing it in the 80s.

Mark -who saw Henry Rollins in concert when he was just a nameless, faceless member of Black Flag and had Lance Mountain skate his half-pipe... which is a lot less common than any Nissan!

uuninja · 08-15-2002, 04:17 PM

Well said, I can't understand the scene of ownership that people have over the "scene" as they see it. I really don't think any one on this board can truly say that they are a pioneer in the 240 scene or the import scene for that matter.

Or that they weren't a total n00b at one point. I know I still am.

Fresh 240SX · 08-15-2002, 07:28 PM

I cant really say i was into imports in the 80's because i was born in 1984... I started school in 1990 and my brothers first new car was some Audi turbo that our parents got him when it came out that year... As for being into imports... i pretty much determied that when i was in like grade 5, obviously may years before I could drive let alone afford my own car but still young enough to be bias due to the fact that everyone liked Ford Or GM and there was the occassional Viper lover.... I remember being singled out for liking jap scrap when all the other kids liked the Mustang or the Vette and I liked the 3000GT.... Most kids in like Grade 5 dident know what a mitsubishi was... this was like in 1993 or 1994 mind you....

Yea the funny thing is now... all those kids that were pro american muscle and called anything non Ford or GM "jap scrap" all praise the honda civic now like its gods car.... yeh maybe gods grocery getter, with one working headlight..  cracked windshield, bent antenna, body rust, decaying exhaust system, boomin factory stereo, installed shogun bodykit thats just been tacked on and primered... You know the things kids show up with on cruise nights, or just some of the things to expect from a older model civic...

-Just finished reading topic

Sh*t I think I'm a ricer

(real quick some extra thoughts on the subject)

-I go to car shows
-I used to have neon underglow lights
-I bought my nitrous kit after Fast and the furious
-I blew up my KA <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>
-I hang out at parking lots full of people with hooked up cars
-I street race sometimes

Giving these few characeristics one would have to deem me as a ricer based on eveyone's criteria.
-rambling mode on
here's the secret. It's fun! If I thought it would be fun to put a huge wing on my car (I will one day) I'll do it. My car doesn't look all bling bling at the moment however it will. My car will be in car shows. It will be flashy. Why? Because that's what I want to do. Is it rice? hell No! It's a blast!
It's so much fun to BS with kids you don't even no about their b18c powered EK hatch's. How they run 13.5's on stock ls blocks in civic coupes. I have a blast doing it.

Sunday I went to battle of somethin or another in denwitty VA. On my way back at the gas startion pulls up a talon with huge body kit big wing etc. I say "thats the 4g63 you got right?" Kids like "Huh? I just do body stuff". Whatever kid know's nothing about cars. His car still looked kinda cool though. Point is the whole ride back to NoVa we sat in traffic and BS'd. Kid was kinda cool.

It's all in good fun. That's what it's about. Not labeling somebody rice because you don't like what he's done to his car.
My car looks like ass at the moment but yet it's the greatest feeling to roll up to a place with hundreds of honda's and have 50 odd people crowd around my engine bay to admire all the hard work I put in it.

I could care less how the scene is, you just have to learn how to ignore certain aspects. You alone are not going to change the scene and bitching and moaning about it on an online forum isn't going to do any good either.

As for punk music, it r0x0rz. It's one of the only types of music that I listen to as consistently as techno..

And Foxcolt, why are you proud to have blown up your KA?  That's baffling.

Yeah I am proud of blowing up my KA.
Have you pulled an engine out of your car? Have you put an engine in your car?
It's a learning experience and I'm better off for it. I knew the engine was gonna blow and I was prepared when it did.

Nope...I'm a poor college student.  On the other hand if my car hadn't gotten broken into and my stereo stolen, I would be able to afford to do the mods that I want, and then I could answer this with a "yes."  Although, I don't have the necessary tools to do the job because once again, I'm just a poor college student.  I'm glad you have the money to blow engines and replace them for the learning experience, but I sir, do not.

ok I retract my previous statment. I can understand when having your car vandalized what it can do for your wallet.

Trust me I'm just as much of a poor college student as your are if not more.

I bought the car knowing I would put an SR in it. I bought the nitrous kit to tide me over until I had all the resources to do my swap. Then when the time came we did the swap. By the time my motor blew I had enough money saved up for everything I needed. We did the swap with a $30 Husky socket wrench set, $20 ACdelco jack and jack stand kit and a engine lift I borrowed from a friend.  

I don't want to start a flame war, Just realize that your earlier statement came off as harsh and offending. I knew what I was doing when I blew my motor now that it's all over I look at it with pride because most people in that situation would have bought another car or paid "X" amount of dollars to have a shady mechanic fix it. I on the other hand bought a "better" motor and installed it in my car my self. I hope you can see why I'm proud of that experience.

DrDubbleB · 08-21-2002, 03:01 PM

Harsh and offending?  I just asked a simple question, it wasn't meant to sound harsh and offending.  Oh well.  I guess it's all straightened out and everything, I don't want a flame war either.

That being said, we're in the same area, where'd you buy your SR and who'd you do the swap with?  Anyone on these boards?  PM me, we'll talk.

Fuzzy Ewok · 08-21-2002, 04:05 PM

The only real problem I have is someone driving their car like it's a bad ass machine when it's only a stock NA motor with a fart-cannon on it, super-white headlight bulbs, and a big GT wing.  And I don't even mind it if the person doesn't have an attitude and doesn't really think their car is hot shit.  However, at least where I live, most do, and that really bothers me.

My '97 240sx SE is stock right now.  I know it, and I drive it like it's stock.  Sure, I have fun with it from time to time, but I'm not out trying to race everything on the road and trying to act like I'm putting down 350 rwhp.  If someone wants to slap a 3" cat-back exhaust on their Civic, along with some rims and lowering springs and go goof around with their car, fine by me.  But I hate the attitude most people with cars like that have.  I really have to suppress the urge to get out and throttle those little bitches.

I don't take people like that seriously, and I just end up ignoring the morons that take themselves seriously.  I'm of the opinion that people who put aftermarket body mods on their cars to make them look fast should have a car that goes as fast as it looks.  Sadly, that's not the case around here, for the most part.  And most of the people that are all show have the attitude to boot, which is what really annoys me.  I've met a few exceptions, but not many.

So if someone wants to "rice" their car out, it's not really a problem to me.  I usually just point and laugh with my friends as we drive by.  It's their car, their choice...just not how I care to do things.  However, if a riced out car with nothing but show also has a driver with an attitude, then it's all I can do just to ignore them.

Its funny how these people can spend tons of time at races/meets/ shows yet they still dont know jack.. Yes it gets kinda on my nerves because when people hear that im fixin up my car, im sure they think I got the idea from the fast and furious.. etc.. Everyone has a freakin import, and I think its killing our soo beloved "tuner" scene. When I heard a Pep Boys radio add on the local rap station, I literly freaked!! advertising APC products and street glow and Motegi wheels... And had some lame announcers acting like kids, and the sound of a oversized exhuast car peel out... There are some nice import models, and I do admire them, and then there are the chicks that are just there in groups that only do it because of whatever reason, I mean the ones that are in bunches dont look that good, where as some of the more "individual" models are fine. My favorite models are probably Christine Mendoza and Rowena Galam, They don't have to show nudity, or at least stumped to that low. __________________ Shift_Played Out

I said after that... it has a B18, you better go read up on engine codes from the last super street...

I wanted to switch to manual.. but I have older friends who own 12, 11, 10 (auto), and 9 second cars and they have all told me if I want my car to run 10s keep it an automatic because its better for consistant times. The fastest import in america with metal body, auto, and 4cyl is a 240sx. But whatever, ive been racing for years and will do everything I can to put my car at a 10 or less with my auto. I really dont give a sh*t what some kids say... There is guys on the Maxima forum running 12s and 11s with autos and stock body with full interior. Ive seen a 4th gen auto pull a 12 myself. just my .02 cents <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dozingoff.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'> ok wtf.....dont get all pissy becuase i feel the way i do. MAYBE U MISED THE FIRST WORD OF MY POST. IT WAS PERSONALLY. im also thrilled that u noticed me use the word gay and decided to use it against me like i hate gays. now as for the fact that automatics are gay. that was never aimed at u. my preference is 5 speed. yours may be auto i dont care. i never said auto was no good. i know that most real drag muscle cars are auto or power glide. most rail jobs are either 2 speed or 3 speed auto. notice the automatic 10 second Ford SVT Lightings....am i complaining no. i mean shit if i could have got a auto s14 i would have in a second. the car is awesome and i'd live with auto. but i figure that if im spending x amount of dollars on a car its gonna be waht i want. autos are gay when some jerkoff in a 4 door civic decides to take his stock car with a combat kit and neons to the strip and wants to run 10s like in the fast in the furious. all he wants to use his car for is cruiseing around his "hood" with his fart can and w7s annoying people. now thats my explaination. maybee u understand now that i wasnt out to bash matic 240 becuase i was bored....im not out to start a flame war over confilicting feelings....if u still feel that i should stfu and that i dont know anything about cars than fuck u</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'> look, man its cool.. i just took your post wrong i was in a bad mood... and i get lots of shit from people around me.. they all have sticks.. cept a few.. but the funny thing is all of us with autos can beat all our friends with sticks.. just because we have more mods.. . but its cool man.. i just have temper problems.. and im on really strong pain killers and spend half the day "high" so i just say whatever without thinking... __________________ · m á † í ç · after9racing.com

I really don't think any one on this board can truly say that they are a pioneer in the 240 scene or the import scene for that matter. Or that they weren't a total n00b at one point.

I started school in 1990 and my brothers first new car was some Audi turbo that our parents got him when it came out that year... As for being into imports... i pretty much determied that when i was in like grade 5, obviously may years before I could drive let alone afford my own car but still young enough to be bias due to the fact that everyone liked Ford Or GM and there was the occassional Viper lover.... I remember being singled out for liking jap scrap when all the other kids liked the Mustang or the Vette and I liked the 3000GT.... Most kids in like Grade 5 dident know what a mitsubishi was... this was like in 1993 or 1994 mind you.... __________________

It will be flashy. Why? Because that's what I want to do. Is it rice? hell No! It's a blast! It's so much fun to BS with kids you don't even no about their b18c powered EK hatch's. How they run 13.5's on stock ls blocks in civic coupes. I have a blast doing it. Sunday I went to battle of somethin or another in denwitty VA. On my way back at the gas startion pulls up a talon with huge body kit big wing etc. I say "thats the 4g63 you got right?" Kids like "Huh? I just do body stuff". Whatever kid know's nothing about cars. His car still looked kinda cool though. Point is the whole ride back to NoVa we sat in traffic and BS'd. Kid was kinda cool. It's all in good fun. That's what it's about. Not labeling somebody rice because you don't like what he's done to his car. My car looks like ass at the moment but yet it's the greatest feeling to roll up to a place with hundreds of honda's and have 50 odd people crowd around my engine bay to admire all the hard work I put in it. -rambling mode off <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> __________________ Driftec www.midatlantic240sx.com

I can understand when having your car vandalized what it can do for your wallet. Trust me I'm just as much of a poor college student as your are if not more. I bought the car knowing I would put an SR in it. I bought the nitrous kit to tide me over until I had all the resources to do my swap. Then when the time came we did the swap. By the time my motor blew I had enough money saved up for everything I needed. We did the swap with a $30 Husky socket wrench set, $20 ACdelco jack and jack stand kit and a engine lift I borrowed from a friend.   I don't want to start a flame war, Just realize that your earlier statement came off as harsh and offending. I knew what I was doing when I blew my motor now that it's all over I look at it with pride because most people in that situation would have bought another car or paid "X" amount of dollars to have a shady mechanic fix it. I on the other hand bought a "better" motor and installed it in my car my self. I hope you can see why I'm proud of that experience. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> __________________ Driftec www.midatlantic240sx.com

That being said, we're in the same area, where'd you buy your SR and who'd you do the swap with?  Anyone on these boards?  PM me, we'll talk.

Fuzzy Ewok Leaky Injector Join Date: Jul 2001 Posts: 90 Trader Rating: (0) Feedback Score: 0 reviews	The only real problem I have is someone driving their car like it's a bad ass machine when it's only a stock NA motor with a fart-cannon on it, super-white headlight bulbs, and a big GT wing.  And I don't even mind it if the person doesn't have an attitude and doesn't really think their car is hot shit.  However, at least where I live, most do, and that really bothers me. My '97 240sx SE is stock right now.  I know it, and I drive it like it's stock.  Sure, I have fun with it from time to time, but I'm not out trying to race everything on the road and trying to act like I'm putting down 350 rwhp.  If someone wants to slap a 3" cat-back exhaust on their Civic, along with some rims and lowering springs and go goof around with their car, fine by me.  But I hate the attitude most people with cars like that have.  I really have to suppress the urge to get out and throttle those little bitches. I don't take people like that seriously, and I just end up ignoring the morons that take themselves seriously.  I'm of the opinion that people who put aftermarket body mods on their cars to make them look fast should have a car that goes as fast as it looks.  Sadly, that's not the case around here, for the most part.  And most of the people that are all show have the attitude to boot, which is what really annoys me.  I've met a few exceptions, but not many. So if someone wants to "rice" their car out, it's not really a problem to me.  I usually just point and laugh with my friends as we drive by.  It's their car, their choice...just not how I care to do things.  However, if a riced out car with nothing but show also has a driver with an attitude, then it's all I can do just to ignore them.
