The amazing Boy Racer Poll!

[scumdog]

In 20 years time these guys will all be on ACC because their spines will be compressed so much they can't stand up straight and their ears will bleed constantly from all the boom boom music they pump out of their sub woofers.

But it will be someone elses fault of course.

Notice how many 'BR' cars have damaged front/rear bumpers etc? Comes from sitting too low to see the tail-lights of the car on front, car on fronts stops/turns suddenly and wham! lots of bits of plastic in orbit.

Heard of 5 or six cars getting damaged that way on one of their 'trains' on a Saturday night!!

Hahaha, thats true, seen it happen more than once in Blenheim

Cos if you mean a boy who races round the place to have a blat - then thats me.
But if you mean all that lets make cars impractical and shiny - im not in the section.
But i love chuckn a car n the garage, poping the bonnet and chuckn leads, plugs, filters etc on. I dont mind a decent stereo either.
The true definition of the boy racers you are thinking of - is "Rice racers", who just do it to show off.
But that makes you wonder about some motorbike owners too :cool2:

[The Pastor]

yeah, i have nothing against them at all, other than that most of the ones ive met (talking about the ricers with the "TrIcKeD oUt" cars) are total pricks....



nothing wrong with have an agressive sound system right now my car is 50M away and im listing to my fav gnr cd and can hear it perfectly


the cars look "differnt" from factory, but i would spend that much on it, maybe some mags and a paint job and sounds but thts it, want speed? get a bike

WWWOOOOOAAAARRRR!

For some reason I was thinking about this thread earlier today for NO reason whatsover, and I come home, check the new posts, and someone's posted in it! How's that for crazy?

[250learna]

its crazy alright!

There is a few kinds of boy racers to look at
1) boy racer who has a fuken old rust bucket and a some repco tints
2) boyracer who has a granma civic and thinks hes the man
3) boy racer who has a nice quick car and a few mods
4) asian driver with rich daddy and a supra
5) boy racers with old cars low king springs and chromes
6) mt maunganui with rotary in whatever his/hers car of choice - i admire these
7)hard out i want to win autosaloon and have too much money racer

I have a nice car (nothing extream) a nice body kit that adds to the lines and doesnt scrape all the time, some mags to match the car, new exhause from where cat converter use to be to the RPS muff out the back (its a bit loud ) and a cold air pod.
Inside amp sub components & headunit that plays clips nice mix of alpine & kenwood with sony head unit.
But am i a boy racer? Do i spend my nights on the boyracer carpark picking up 12 year old skans? no, and NO
I did that to my car because improving my car makes me happy, i like the speed, i like the way it looks and i like the way it sounds.
and as Jon Bon Jovi said "its my life"

I saw a Morris 1100 the other day,absolutely standard,even had skinny tyres,except for the three inch exhaust sticking out the back (in the middle)
Is that a boy racer?

Addition please.

4.1) asian driver who works his ass off to own a 25T skyline before any kids has one, and mod all the important bits performance bits and no wank body kits and knows how to drive.

ya my bad i forgot the boyracer who doesnt care about looks of his car as much as performance and goes to or would like to go to track days

The groups are not "race specific"
just group 4 is as its a stereo type

As for the morris, in my professional opinion i have to classify that into group 1

What about those guys who belong to organised car clubs, go on regular club drives down twisty, lonely country roads and the occasional track day.

Modify as much of their car as possible without messing with the factory settings - no drastic lowering, bodykits, zero bling ==> only mechanical modifications to enhance rather than go extreme.

And who wouldn't be caught dead on Queen Street on any weeknight and instead would avoid it like the plague.

The only deisel they drive over happens to have spilt at the petrol pump.

Now a lot of these guys are boys and yup they do drive in a slightly racy manner - but would you call them boy racers??

There are quite a few of these people around, but you won't see them on the road. I was one of these people. My car clocked 3000km a year. Mainly used on the track. That car is now gone, the whole image that went along with perfomance cars wasn't what I wanted. Now, I ride a bike instead.

I think an issue that goes along with cars and all, is the drivers. Everyone thinks they can drive well. Maybe so, but the roads aren't a place to try it out.

I think a car today isn't just a car, it is a status symbol. Hence all the done up old school mercs and BMW's. Cut springs / NO springs is the current trend, the lower the better. Blue LED's is the bling and chrome... chrome heavy heavy rims..... These guys aren't out for perfomance, they are out for show. Safety isn't an issue for them, the car being LOW is. GT wings was a phase, but that has died now.

Just my thoughts.

How the hell did you manage 3000k's??

I ended up doing 8000 over a year of purely only the odd weekend and that too the single day of the weekend.
