show or go cars, which direction would you go Options

[ikayto]

In a couple of months i'm going to find a job and start saving for my car and start becoming a ricer ^__^.

I was just wondering what direction some of you fellow gear heads are going or to some of you people out there what direction would u go in.

Future Car
1995 Acura Legend LS Coupe

[PingPong]

i dont know wat u r saying... but get a sleeper car..

[ikayto]

SHOW OR GO

a show car

or a car that can go fastt.........geeeeez

[PingPong]

duh get a all go no show car duh..
make urself a sleeper car haha i would :)
beat a all show no go car n see that drivers face ^_^ haha

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

how about getting a car period.

[ikayto]

sleepers are dangerious...if you're not dropped and have good suspension ur ass is giong to fly if u hit a pebel going 140

[[i]LLMATiC]

easy prob. all show and go. i mean lookin good is nice but goin fast is good too. but havin both means lots of respect. so i say save alot of money and do both

[pnoy_illuzion]

i would get me a 95 civic hatch and be a straight up sleeper, and race all them domestic cars just to see the look on there faces. and i would rather have go then show, b/c u would just get more respect be faster than any other ppl in your area. and plus you'll be know for having the fast car, but sometimes that is bad b/c u might get jacked.

my .02 cents

[aznriceboi]

put a little of both into it, if you show has no power then it dead in competitions.

for the show:
start off with rims (because there noticiable), then move on to the body kit. after that the spoil (any). sound sytem (up to you). and the rest is up to you

An engine is basically an air pump. Air comes into the engine, its mixed with fuel and the mixture is ignited. the explosion from the mixture forces the pistions down resulting the gases to come out of the exaust. Meaning that you car MOVES

horsepower: start off with an exuast system. (about $600) i recommend greddy. it gives your car some balls, plus the aggresssive sound. then a cold air intake system from AEM. colder air means more oxygen meaning more air into the engine. (cold air system about $400, cold air intake pipe alone about $189). from there you go to handling mods like slotted brake rotor. and you could choose adjustable coilover kits or lowering springs kits for you handling, helps on turns. theres endless possible mods you could do, its up to you where you want to go with you car as long as you got the money for the parts. you could do a skyline conversion with the legend too if you wanted too.

note: test your car out on a dyno first to see how you car. then do you modifications. its better that way since you'll see the improvement you car did with the mods.

[eboarder2020]

Show cars... And dude... YOur sig bothers me

[PingPong]

ok fine u can get ur all show car.. wait n see me in the streets wit my sleeper car! AHAHAHA ill burn you ^_^ ... wait till im done wit till i finish my medical school.. 14 more years O_O... n ill get myself a BMW or 9/11 or boxter

btw i dont like those azn exaust O_O they freaken loud.. ide get myself a... magna flow exasut. all american :) haha.. umm AEM V2 Cold air intakes are good, get an engine swap to Type R =D umm headers are good, cam gears, racing trasmision O_O, better fuel system :), injectores, fuel pump ect, pistons, pulleys, rods, the good stuff to make ur engine good enough for a Nitrous set... ZEX Nitrous is good, a turbo charger wouldnt hurt but i prefer a Trubo kit because you can get more outta it =D n since ur gunna get more outta ur engine.. make sure u buy brackets. so yea.. haha
bah iono

[leeeza702]

I think you should just do an all go car... meaning a 'sleeper'... my boyfriend wanted to do that with his car... but his car is ugly stock... LOL since the car I have right now is an automatic (it's my mom's old car handed down to me) there's no point in trying to make it go faster...it's a eclipse btw, but i'm going to get a miata later on and fix that up.... i'm hoping that the US gets the non-convertible miata from japan (I saw it at SEMA)... it's really nice... yeah it's still small, yeah it's a little girlie... but hey... it beats a civic any day in my opinion... I hate civics

[dfly112]

if u have the money go show n go... if not juss go sleeper...

[[i]LLMATiC]

I hate civics

omg!!! ur great!! i hate them with a passion! there ugly and slow but thats jus what i think

[leeeza702]

LLMATiC,Aug 31 2004, 2:03 PM] omg!!! ur great!! i hate them with a passion! there ugly and slow but thats jus what i think

LOL!! you're great also.. I HATE them with a passion also... IMO, they're ugly, slow, and when people put exhausts on them... ugh... it just has this horrible sound to them... it's all high pitched or something.. they're just soooo fugly...

[Saeglopur]

How about.. one that won't easily break and will work, hmm? Start with the basics.

i agree O_O haha i dont like exaust on them.. AND i dont like jap exaust -_-... get real american exaust from magnaflow!!!

[aznriceboi]

since the car I have right now is an automatic (it's my mom's old car handed down to me) there's no point in trying to make it go faster...it's a eclipse btw

errrrr i was looking for an eclispe but they're all like $10,000-up in in the newspaper, even the used ones too. they don't make the older models 99-down anymore. does your eclipse happen to be an eclipse gst/gsx/gs?

bah iono

asian exaust systems gives your car balls. domestic exaust are all whimpy sounding. yea sometimes the exaust could be sounding to loud though, man im trying to sleep and all of a sudden i wake up to this motorcylcle noise outside and saw a car out there. bastards making me lose sleep. yea all those mods would be good, but money comes into play. a engine swap is like at least $1500-up. not all cars can get turbo kits/superchargers. man, after all those mods. i don't think there'll be any more room in the engine space to put anything else in.

[ikayto]

lets see i've read all your comments

and only aznriceboi seems to be the one that knows wth he's talking about...some of you guys just shot off your mouth with parts ahahah....w.e ;p

for one thing.....since most of the time import enthusiasts tune japanese cars..wouldnit it make sense to BUY JAPANESE PARTS for your JAPANESE CAR.....magnfaflow<---wtf....ahhhahaha........

btw..for all you honda hates

theres a hatch that can run 7's..on the quarter mile..take you v8's out like nothin;p

Tell you what... I know what I'm talking about. I run a performance shop. Wouldn't it make sense to buy an american car since you problably live in america? Don't be stupid. You don't buy parts for a car because they're made in the same country. You buy parts for a car because they WORK. Should we boycott Garrett turbo's for our "imports" because they're made in america? Should we boycott MSD ignitions? What's wrong with magnaflow mufflers? Do you know what the problem is with horrible sounding exhausts on Civics? Most people seem to think slapping straight through 2.5" exhaust on their Civic will make them fast. They'll gain 3 hp and lose 5ftlb of low end torque. Did you know bigger exhaust is not always better? Did you know exhaust scavenging is the effect you're looking for to make maximum power? The "AZN" exhausts are loud for a reason. The reason is stupidity. Most of the loud annoying exhausts are on cars with drivers that buy just a muffler and get some cheesy piping made up. True "AZN" exhausts always incorporate a second resonator to help quiet down the exhaust. Look at ANY brand name exhaust. 5Zigen, Greddy, HKS, APEX.

While we're on the idea of hondas, I bet most of you didn't know that for a past fews years, many many honda's have been made in the US, Canada, or Mexico? Did you know Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi also do the same? Go look on the label in the door jam. If it doesn't say Assembled in Japan, then it's not an import in the sense that most people think. So, to all you people who claim to drive an "import," make sure it really is first. Sport Compact would be the correct term. And no, they're not rice rockets, I won't get into that history lesson.

And don't contradict yourself. How much do you want to bet that "7 sec" hatch is not made up of entirely "jDm TytE" parts? I'm willing to bet there are some MSD, AEM, Spearco, Autometer, and even Garrett parts in that car. Did you know 7 seconds isn't that great? Especially for a tube chassis car? Did you know the JUN Silvia was running 8.88 a few years ago with a FULL Chassis? Did you know Adam Saruwatari's RX-7 was doing 8's also? If you want to talk about full chassis modification, why don't you talk to the v8 powered funny cars that run 4's? If you're going to compare timeslips, you need to compare chassis. You can't compare full chassis to a half or tube chassis car. Apples to apples. If you want to argue, argue like you know. There is no replacement for displacement. PERIOD.

[/school]

P.S. I'm not trying to hate, but I hate stupidity.

I have the newer model... 2001 GT V6

[perfeng702]

sleepers are dangerious...if you're not dropped and have good suspension ur ass is giong to fly if u hit a pebel going 140

Sleepers are dangerous? Sleepers are not dangerous. Idiot drivers are. Yes, sleeper means a car that doesn't look fast but really is. Just because your car can hit 140mph, it doesn't mean you're a sleeper. Fast doesn't always mean high mph, fast also means fast acceleration. That is the true sense of a sleeper. A car that is superior off the line and in acceleration, not top speed.

Not like a car fully dressed up in vinyl, paint, bodykit, and wheels is going to handle any better.

Also, having a dropped car isn't going to make you handle all that much better at 140mph if you don't do it right. Suspension doesn't have much to do with going 140mph. Aerodynamics does. Do you know the most important factor about going 140mph? Z-rated tires. The worst thing that can happen at that speed is your tire blowing out, not a pebble.

[perfeng702]

whoops

[leeeza702]

whoops

double posted on accident eh???

[aznriceboi]

I have the newer model... 2001 GT V6

eh i don't like the newer model eclipse (2000-up). the taillights and the head lights don't suit me. and the rigdes on the side of the car. hmm if they (mitsubishi) sold a newer eclipse that has a 99's head/taillight then i would buy it right away but since they don't im not

[ikayto]

dang i got owned by perfeng ^__^....

thanks i've learned alot from you ;p

uh i would rather have a crappy body and a really nice inside rather than a nice body and a bad inside. I hate cars that are showy unless they deliver

Future Car
1995 Acura Legend LS Coupe

hey dude i dunt like ur sig itz gay i kno ppl who do dat and itz not funi

[EddieV]

don't know but im getting a Porsche Boxster S...

[elmnts of trnce]

I agree with every single thing perfeng said.

As for the people who hate on Civics, let me tell you something. Not all Civics are like that, it's the owners who don't know what they're doing. Civics are cheap, reliable, and fuel efficient cars that are almost perfect for students who just received their license. And don't automatically assume any civic you see is slow, look at the SI. If you find it ugly, I can't argue because everyone has their own taste, but it is by no means a piece of sh!t car. It's only most owners that don't know what they're doing and give the car a bad reputation

To the person who started this thread, its YOUR car, do what YOU want to it, don't let other people's opinions intimidate you and your decisions. Cars that are both good looking and fast COST A LOT of money, keep that in mind. I, personally, would go for the looks. Now, after saying that, people are probably going "Oh take me on the streets and i'll smoke your ass", but let me tell you something, not everyone cares about the speed of the car. And almost no one is going to look under the hood of your car in a parking lot and go "damn, nice car". Those comments go to the cars that are tricked out looks-wise and/or with good sound systems, dvd players, etc. You act like having a fast car is so good, think about the safety of you and others. If you have a fast car, you're going to race, and if you race, there's always high danger involved. And even if you don't race, you're going to drive fast right? And driving fast = higher chances of accidents. And if you tell me "no i know better than not to drive fast," then WHY THE H3LL do you want your car to be so fast?!

(Disregard the previous statements about speed if you race at the tracks )

Hah, talk about respect. This isn't fast and furious where they have organized street races every night. Most people won't even know how fast your car is. But if your car is tricked out exterior-wise, then you're going to have heads turning, people staring, and drooling involved. And the only respect you'll get by being fast is from the people at the tracks and the people you race, which isn't a whole lot.

BUT!! that is me. I'm not trying to start an argument here because everyone is entitled to their own opinion

My 2 cents.

[g3tz]

Ok, well first, dont buy rice, unless it really tastes good and trust me a 4cyl car doesnt taste good.
Buy something with style and class, and that is clean, not these neon colored cars with stickers and 3 foot spoilers that have no functionality to the way the car drives.
Depending on how much money you have, look at buying a nice mid 90's e36 bmw. Tons of class and def. a panty dropper. They usually run around 5-12k depending on what options and stuff you want.

^^ e36 ^^

If that is still do much, look into a older bmw. 84-91 e30. These are very strong and fast cars with some work. and only about 1-4k depending how much you want to work on it.

^^ e30 ^^

BMWs are just better built cars and will run alot longer with more power, and are alot funner to drive, especially through turns. No need to stopping, bmws are built for the twisties and just take the turn punch the gas and go.

If you still decide to go with rice, which i wouldnt recommend, dont make ur car shitty. keep it clean, no gay ass colors, no unneed spoilers and huge body kits, try and keep it simple. As for exaust dont get the shitty ace exaust that sounds and looks like you put a ding dong coffee can on the back or ur car. And as for the cool air intake, dont waste your money on that eather. 1 or 2 hp isnt going to help much at all. and your not going to get any cold air, one foot from your engine, so its pretty much pointless.

Just dont build a gay car.

[kantoaznboi]

i agree, i dunno but it just annoys me if its just 4 show. idk it makes u look like a wannabe racer. and u see thos fob azn dudes in a rice rocket, and u can tell its just 4 show, lol i just wanna slap em and say eww ur not a racer, stop tryin 2 act like one.

uhh has it ever occured to you that NOT EVERYONE is interested in RACING and SPEED?!? I already talked about that in my first post, go read. If that is your logic, then think about this: Jeans were invented for miners because they needed a sturdy material due to the bad conditions in mines. But then people started wearing jeans because it looked good. So does that make them "wannabe miners"!? NO! Wings, bodykits, carbon fiber hoods look GOOD on cars, so people install them to have their car look good! Now I'm not talking about the idiots who put a mistmatched, cracked, unpainted bodykit on a car, or the ones who have an aluminum wing as their ONLY mod, I'm talking about people who know what they're doing and are interested in making their car nice on the exterior. What is so wrong about that?!? GEEZE! You act like all there is to cars is speed. And most of the time, when they supe up the outside, the inside is either ALREADY nice or is modified to be nice too.

Sorry, but I gotta reply to this one. Don't impose your "idea" of style and class upon other people. Believe it or not, people have their own opinions on what style and class is. You obviously love BMW's, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, when you start dissing other makes and models of cars because they are from Japan or they run on 4 cylinders, you are crossing the line. Therefore, lets see how you can back your uneducated opinions. In what ways are the M4x and the M5x series engines in E36 BMW's better than say.. a SR20DET or QR25DE? Have you heard of Nissan's VQ series engine or Toyota's 2JZ? Did you know that the 2JZ in STOCK form can put up over 600+ RWHP RELIABLY? Did you know it has been pushed over 1100? Did you know that the SR20DET has been swapped into numbers E30's, but not the other way around? What?!? You say? A 4 cylinder in my beloved BMW?!? Don't be stupid.

"BMWs are just better built cars and will run alot longer with more power, and are alot funner to drive, especially through turns. No need to stopping, bmws are built for the twisties and just take the turn punch the gas and go."

That is just an arrogant statement. You honestly think that a e36 or e30 sedan will out handle say a... Miata, 350Z, Corvette? No need for stopping? Built for twisites? Yes, a 4000lb car built for twisties. No need for the brakes? Turn, punch the gas and go? Obviously you have never driven in "twisties" or you have watched too much Initial D and think you can just drift through the corner. You certainly have something to learn about driving if you think you can enter a turn at the same pace as a straight. Lift the throttle before entering, and accelerate after you enter the turn? Perfect way to initiate a drift. Don't be stupid.

I have a E36 323is in my driveway and my S14 240sx. I can tell you now, stock for stock, the S14 will take the E36 with no problems in the "twisties." Modified, I can pull almost 1g on the skid pad, run 11's reliably, AND get 28mpg.

If the poster does decided to go with "rice," who are you to judge for him what colors are "gay," what body kits are "huge," and what is or isn't "simple." You might not like a color, but perhaps he does. If he decides to build a car, he is building it for himself, NOT you. If he likes it, then let him do what he wants. Do we tell you that hockey is a dumb sport? Do we tell you what clothes to wear or what music to listen to? No. Don't tell him what to drive. Don't tell him what is classy and stylish. Don't be stupid.

You obviously know nothing about aftermarket parts either. Although some of the parts are just gimmicks, most parts are actually proven performance enhancers. Don't waste your money on a cold air intake? Do you know what the #1 reason why intakes make power? Less restriction. Having cool air is just a side benefit. A properly designed cold air intake will not take air "1 foot" from the engine. A proper cold air intake will take air from outside the engine bay. If that is not possible, it will take air from inside the engine bay, but there will be a heat shield to block some of the radiated heat from the engine. If you think cool air intakes are so horrible, why don't you take a look at most stock air boxes. Most stock air boxes have a tube that runs from the front of the car to the box. That would be a factory cold air intake. Don't be stupid.

Maybe driving your parents car has sheltered you from all the other great automobiles in the world.

Give me any amount of money that you would spend on a BMW, I guarantee I can build a car that will out handle, out accelerate, out brake, and out corner said BMW.

Cars are like ice cream. Don't let anyone tell you what flavor to get and what to put on it.

BTW, if you need a car to "drop panties," either a: you are an idiot that thinks a girl with any kind of substance will go with a guy based on his car, or, b: you completely lack any type of social skills.

I'm not trying to hate, but I hate arrogance.

man get the gogogogogogo cars doesnt matter wut ur car looks like as long as it can smoke most people i would say get a go car then hook the visual upgrades

cmon guy if u want an unnbeatable sleeper without using a WHOLE lot of money seriously pack into it with a geo metro and start out with a 2.8 liter turbo........cmon someone tell me that thing wouldnt fly if u had wings on it

[F1R3B4T]

hmm i'll pick show...
regarding ur first post up there, i'd like to congratulate u when u become a "ricer"

[Sumiaki]

Go car. Who wants show when you can go. They can beat you in looks but they cant beat you on the road.

[L00d]

lets see i've read all your comments

and only aznriceboi seems to be the one that knows wth he's talking about...some of you guys just shot off your mouth with parts ahahah....w.e ;p

for one thing.....since most of the time import enthusiasts tune japanese cars..wouldnit it make sense to BUY JAPANESE PARTS for your JAPANESE CAR.....magnfaflow<---wtf....ahhhahaha........

btw..for all you honda hates

theres a hatch that can run 7's..on the quarter mile..take you v8's out like nothin;p

dude.. don't bother spending any money performance wise on a legend. those cars weigh in at around 3500 lbs, front wheel drive, and the engines aren't the greatest platforms to build on.

when i was 16 my parents gave me a 5 speed camry. could i have made it faster? yes. did i? no. reason being, it's a waste of money. why spend 2 grand for parts when a stock camaro can still eat you alive.

right now i drive an s2000, i'm not even gonna bother with intake, exhaust, header..etc.. because all of that in total will add around 10whp at MOST. i was thinking of going the forced induction route, but then again that costs around 5 grand. save your money, spend it on something useful..

[topgunner14]

Why do people swaer an import is the sh*t when they just put a muffler on? When F&F came out there was this boom in my neighborhood of imports with that fart sound I hate it. When I drive in my IROC, the sound makes you think power, not of the toilet and new underpants.

My first car was a 240sx its my dream car and i spent 4 gs and another 3gs for a sr20det on it and i put intake, straight exhaust(illegal) and took out the fuel govener, with racing cams i was pulling about 328 hp dyno tested .I put my intake low to the ground and one day i ran over a puddle and it died forever. I junked it
water was in the engien i didnt no about that. But if u need help pickin a car and getting the best prices on a car u want and as i can c u into drifting talk to me on aim so i can answer all ur questions.

What engine do you got in that RX7? What type of turbos do you got on it and what PSI are you running? I'm interested.

[*wind&fire*]

go classic and get a supra!

[japnzboy]

get a show car unless u wanna race. theres no point in putting too much money into your car because when your finished, you will get tired of it and wanna change it and spend more money.

[t1MM1k]

hmm.. i always respect those who go stricly go and no show.. and those who go stricly show to enter into competitions and car shows. It all is up to the driver, for me im in between, but performance is more key to me than anything else.

[wayne]

how about getting a car period.

seriously. lol

but i am doing hte show car deal. im not into racing straight line that much anymore. i love tricking out cars and making them look good. so it all depends on what you want to do. u can never go wrong with a euro import. they look good doing it all.

[emptyminded]

I don't really like the showy showy cars but then I don't like the rediculously overly stock cars either. When I get my car in a few i'll most certainly meet in the middle.

[Levy2k6]

i'd get a car in between, mostly go tho.

[heyyfrankie]

is there any way that we can have both? i like a car that looks good. but i also like a car that can go really fast! therefore, i would get a car that is both. and if they didn't have it, i would get a ugly car that went fast and fix it up!

don't know but im getting a Porsche Boxster S...

boxsters are known as the "cheap man's porsche". honestly if you were going for a porsche seriously get a 911 turbo or at least a carrera.

So you mean sleepers as in not a racing cars? im bad at talking about cars, im a noob at it haha. and show as in where you can race with other cars? i read some of your guy's post, but you guys didnt exactly mention what sleepers are :bilnk:

[D FACE KILLA]

I don't know to much about it, but I can answer your question. A sleeper is a car that looks stock, but is fixed up to race. and a show car is fixed up for show (such as car shows) but not used to race.

[captured_serenit...]

i would show cars.... if i had them...

[xGlovex]

good luck.:)

[HongKongDong]

Whats the point of show... if it has no go?

[ikayto]

wow this topic is still going i didnt even know ahha

ummmmmmmm
i'm getting a subaru impreza 2.5 rs now

it already comes with show and go

like peeps said so far
never underestimate a 4 banger; it'll cut your throat without you even noticing

subaru impreza wrx sti-->300 ponies
eat most stock v8's

civics are good cars with crappy engines; excluding the si

the final verdict a little sho and go

or sleeper

or all go

w.e the hell you WANT

[SuPerSoPow1025]

go for go. why would you want a car that only looks good but has no performance?

Go - nice as hell and fast as hell

[Litobabygurl88]

go..

No Go, No show

[Trolling]

This topic is just like Style or proformance... Just reworded -.-

[auroradude]

ikayto i will eat your impreza 2.5 from a 40mph roll up to 100. guarantee it. aint no way 4 banger will make high-end torque like mine does. you will have me from a stop probably til about 35 - 40 and i may pass you.

[*stephinika*]

a bit of both...but more show probably.

[irooni666]

well tell you what....just looking at the car your taking....im not an expert on cars, but i have an acura legend 4 door Manual. Not to impose my ideas or anything, but from my experience, i felt its best to make that car a show car rather than a go car.....

I havent taken my car to the track or dynod it...but i wouldnt spend thousands on engine mods...i think a cool air intake and a good exhaust would be sufficient.

You might want to look at some body kits available, I have the explosion style kit on my car....Its MAD!

surprisingly there are a few nice Kits available so you can take your pick...i liked the explosion and the cyber kit....

Tell you what though, from my experience, reliability wise you will never go wrong...ive had the car for about 5 years now...only wear n tear n the service..

[WindSorcerous]

as long as it's safe and it can drive...

Car: Subaru Sport Edition ;) yey!

[EddieV]

My car is a sleeper, although I don't like Japanese cars, and I'm not into racing, so I'm thinkin of selling it...

95 Honda Accord EX





All I know is that it has a JDM, and I think one part says Nascar on it...

lmao...

[Anonymous82]

GO GO GO!!! def no show! if u do then I'll disown u muahahaha... jk I don't know u anyways =p

[bayareatuners]

Since you wanted to be come a ricer then I am assuming you like those crazy bodykits and stickers on cars. People that fix up Import cars ie: Honda and Acura are not exactly all ricers. Just the ones that put those crazy ugly bodykits, wings and stickers and the car is still slow are ricers.
