QUOTE(ikayto @ Aug 31 2004, 8:30 PM) 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. |
