My .02, and I'm not arguing with you marcus, I have no legs to stand on there.. Your knowledge far exceeds mine, and I respect that. But, I don't appreciate being called "cheap and cheasy", inferring that I have a lack of "class" because I gut my car that means I do not have a serious "intent to tune my car to be quick."

I think spy's gutted red car with the black hood looks nice. It has a real clean interior that I'd eat off of. In fact, I'd even say his car looks classy. Yeah, you can rip my car apart for the lack of mods that it has right now when you look in the interior and see nothing there. I'm in school right now, and until summer comes I don't have the money or the sponsorships to drop an fmic, t3/t4, 750cc's, mendrel bent exhaust, etc... into the car... DSMtalk.com/newbies forum/free mods. That's where I started. Then, buschur stage 1. That's what i'm working on right now. My intentions with this car is only for speed. It's not to give a bunch of friends a ride to and from the bar. It's not to impress the girls, it's not to impress real racers, it's for me. I bought this car to learn how to turn a wrench, to learn how to tune a car, to learn how tweak and squeaze every bit of performance I can out of it.
I respect those who wish to keep their interior and luxuries on their car. But, I will chide them and tease them when they need to change their altenator, or when they need to do anything in their engine bay. If you have a dd, or don't care, all that luxury crap is not only an excess weight but is pointless to work around, interior (ecu's- 3 in 4 weeks, shifter plate bushings, that's 4 times of yanking off the console just to have it in the way again, etc. ) or engine bay.

Now, I haven't been around the scene long enough to argue with you, but it has been my experience that most of the little honda ricers driving cars that daddy bought, that I've seen around would never gut their car... but then again these are the guys that buy a big wing and a loud muffler some spinning rims and flaming dragons to make their car 'look' fast. So maybe these aren't the ricer's to which you are refering too. I have no experience with honda ricers that actually modify their car, i didn't even know they existed. And I can see why it would aggrevate someone whom i've only been told is fast, really fast, really serious (you marcus), when you see a pos that's gutted and the guys pretending to be in a race car.

alright, there's my .25. Like I said marcus, I respect you and the fact that you are very knowledgable, and very fast. I put forth no front to what I am. I am new, never turned a wrench before a month ago, couldn't change my oil, I am a newbie who only wants to learn how every part of his car works, and what he can do squeaze every bit of performance out of it. it's been a long bad sleepless night.
