some night shots of the truck

n8r · 03-01-2005, 05:54 PM

The truth is man, noone here really gives a rip about my truck or your truck, they want to see other mustangs, yeah a pic or two every once and a while just to show off is cool, but as was stated befor, i think people are getting tired of seeing yours. It is nice, yes, but they want mustangs, you just gotta expect to get it from folks who dont drive the same thing as you. its how car forums work. just gotta not let it get to you. After all, it is just the Internet. Just html, php, text and graphics. Not everyone is going to agree with you or like your truck, even less on a forum full of car drivers. Just the way things are. Really not much to look into other than people with different tastes being honest with you. Dont take it so personally. As said befor, its just the interweb.

Nick - Haven't had any problems with you and you've never offended me man.

Brad - No problems with you either so its cool

Mike - funny, but I dont box

Nate - Had people of been up front about it and been nice about it like you we're i'd of held off on a lot of the pics.

I understand that I post to many pics on a stang forum, but one of the main reasons I do is because I dont really have anywhere else to host them from. Thats the honest truth other wise i'd rarely post them on here. I do use cardomain but it can be very unreliable at times. Sorry if my pics have seem overbareing to you guys. I'll try and hold back on the pics, but at the same time watch the comments you make please.

hey tell your civic buddy this.

"theres a reason we dsmers get rid of our shitty t25 as soon as possible"

and you can also tell him this. theres a guy in stockton(about 30 min north from me) that has a turbo k20 ek hatch(50 trim) and talks hella shit about dsm's when he goes to the "races"(yeah the illegal ones).well my buddy and dsm mentor gets wind of this guy from another guy in stockton who got his ass handed to him by that same civic(mind you hes stock but thats changing soon). well he decided its time to make this little ricer stfu and die. we head out and find the so called turbo hatch, and finally he shows up and starts talking hella shit about my freinds car, calling his 20g small compared to his 50 trim and that our 2.0 is nothing without a turbo and a civic without a turbo is still fast. well push comes to shove and my freind tells him to put his money where his mouth is and to take it on to the freeway(2 in the morning, desolate and lonely I-5). now i can keep up with my freind, but after 120 he will start to pull away from me, so i decide to be the chase car for the 2 of them. so they line up, were doing about 55, and they take off.

immediately the honda pulls cause of his 50 trim, but as soon as my buddy and i hit full boost we both creep by the guy, here im supposed to be the chase car and im like "fuck it well both cream his ass" so i swing around and as i pass by i flip him off and hit 4th and continue to put buslengths on him, then my buddy kicks my ass cause i heatsoak the stock smic(thus why i got a fmic now). so we slow down and wait for the honda to catch up, and no honda in sight. he turned off at the nearest exit after getting his ass handed to him.

whats funnier is the money he spent on his setup. a k20 alone is around 3g for the engine, tranny and ecu+harness. then the 50 trim and everything else(fuel mods+control) would be around 3 grand. so 6grand total. and here i have maybe 2g in my setup, with my freind around 1.5g(he gets used parts from a buddy in texas, i like my shit new). i just dont see the point in modding a honda

there was once a integra gsr i raced at the track, with a greddy turbo kit and everything, pulled a 15.0 compared to my stock 15.3. i laughed in his face, i lost, but just think of the money he wasted for only 15's.

and now my buddy craves more boost. a 60 trim is on the way, along with 680cc injectors, and hes going with dsmlink(laptop tuning program). and a blown 6bolt longblock is on its way from texas, wich we will be building for at least 30psi and a little nitrous. i cant wait to get the thing up and running.

lol funny story. Actually he had a 93 4door civic that he was driving and it crapped and his dad who has been helping him with his car(friend just got done with basic training and also has a kid on its way) couldn't afford rebuild or replace the motor. So his dad gave him the choice of either a old 4runner or his current hatchback. Otherwise he'd be in a first gen 240. He's all big into drifting and what not. but push came to shove and he was stuck with a honda again. So he's working with what he has because he can't afford to go buy another car cuz he's saving for his kid. Doing cheap mods to the civic. Thats why he's not gonna dump like 10k into it. He's not looking to run super fast. Just something to give the 1.6l beast some extra power lol. Right now i'd be surpised if he's putting like 70hp to the ground so if he can actually manage to build it himself with the turbo and get it to 170whp it wouldn't be to shabby.

Thomas91169 · 03-01-2005, 10:20 PM

it wont be 170 though. he can only run 9 psi on stock block and internals. theres 2 things that make a turbo, airflow and effeciency, and the t25 lacks both. its basically a big metal hair dryer.

He's building up his old d16(wont be stock) from his 93. I dont know much about it, but he says the way he plans to build it is actually a pretty common setup and is known to have around 17-180whp.

**Brent** · 03-01-2005, 10:36 PM

You can get that almost with a 99 v6 w/ bolt ons lol

yeah but brent, a 170hp honda of any kind will more than likely put carlengths on a v6 with the same amount of hp.

tell him if he wants to run real amounts of bewst to get a DART closed block. hondas major drawbacks are their block designs, it goes a thin ass cylinder wall, then a water jacket that surrounds it, then the block. add boost to that combo and the cylinder walls just explode through to the water jacket.

Js281GT · 03-02-2005, 08:01 PM

That's it I am selling my car & buying a honda. I am convinced.

Yea I forgot about that power to weight ratio. Always seems to slip my mind

BUT ITS STILL A DAMN HONDA WHEN IT CROSSES THE LINE AND IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE A WEEDEATER

his horsepower is impressive for the 2200 lb wieght, I mean, most of you guys don't put down 180 to the wheels and you all weigh in at 3400-3600 lbs..

alright, now that the numbers are out of the way... why oh why, why another fucking civic!!!! god damn with all the small cheap good gas mileage cars out there.. geeze

oh and I love certain imports

mainly ones that were meant to be sports cars, and look like sports cars often times older the better
