Personaly i like the line they use i paid $2000 for da car and ive spent $25000 onit yeh its worth bout $30000 now hahahahahaa dream on its still a $2000 piece a shit 9 times out 10.
really like the guys that come in with next to no springs or the guy that keeps comin back with his bwm with honda rear spring that fall out as sooon as you lift it off the ground, And he wonders why his last ccar ( same set up ) bounced off the road in to a tree on a corner a real dumb arse.

I think the bad car enthusiast is more wide spread then the bad bike enthusiast.

And in comparison.. the age difference on average between the two is a good 15-20 years at least right?

You seem to forget, or do not realise, under the current "Boy racer" regulations/laws, motorcyclists can be prosecuted.

thats always quite amusing. cefiro drift car ow coz its got cutties and shit bro....
yeah keyword is shit

[gatch]

Case in point, my flatmate..

He has a tx3 laser, 1800 twin cam fwd, noisy exhaust and "sport" clutch are the only mods, apparently its faster than any vtec honda (integra-R included), as fast as most turbo 2L cars, and will out handle just about anything on the road

When he talks about it, he uses engine sounds more than words, also says "fuckin mean" quite a bit, talks about his driving skills like he is Ayrton Senna re-incarnated, that cops are power-tripping dick-heads and he hasn't deserved any of his tickets, and the reason he got PD for all his driving offences is cause "da juj got it in for me"..

fuckin mean

That has nothing to do with it.

When do you see large groups of people on bikes doing burn outs and throwing bottles and all sorts.

did this chap go to u.c.o.l last year? i knew a guy who had one and wow it was amazing [aparently] the last laser 1.8 i saw dynoed 78fwkw, non-standard. and a dc2 type R generally does the 123kw mark......just because people dont like hondas doesnt mean they are slow [for a n/a toy]
go the laser

[gatch]

yeah i think so, dont get me wrong he's a pretty nice guy.. just i dont think hes ever actually felt any kind of vehicle going silly fast..

any r type hoonda is pretty quick, and handle pretty well, lots of dudes get them as a first track car..

[ducatilover]

type r hondas do tend to be decent for what they are, and tthey are easy to drive quick and generally very forgiving, i drove an ep3 type r last year and that went alright and was the best handling fwd i have driven. only problem was the torque steer

Question about boy racers.
Why do you think they actually don't race cars? You know - in competitions like?

1. Not enough skills
2. Not enough guts
3. Cars not fast enough to cut it on the track.
4. Cars not safe enough for the track
5. Too scared that they will be shown up as "all noise and no trousers"
6. Not allowed to race on a track while drinking.
7. People who watch real races aren't impressed by dorks doing burnouts
8. All of the above.

If there is a motorcycle version of boy racers they don't turn up to track days.

My car eats hondas for breakfast.

Main reason I don't go to track days is because of the cost of tyres.

some boy racers do have exceptionally fast cars. but the ones that turned up to manfeild the other week for the mag and turbo day were not very competent apart from a select few. not all of them are shit, but they shit drivers try too hard and thats why they are shit. its the majority of these twats who do not know the limit of their vehicle OR what to do once the limit is passed, and i noticed 98% of them dont drive smooth, in turn over loading their suspension, tyres and the chassis capability.
they stick rubber bands on their rims and stretch them "coz its mean ow bro" and this depletes their scrub radius, turning into understeer and potential snap over steer. lowering their vehicles incorrectly means damping rates are not matched properly, there is a reason an evo 7 was set up like it was and king springs and shortened shocks will NOT make it better. dont get me started on cut springs...

my honda eats hondas. what kind of quarter do you run in your car?

[Dragon]

I havn't run one yet would love to see how fast it does it though. I drive my car hard but I bet there will be someone that can get more out of it then I can. Actually I need to clean it make it shiny again and I need to get the rims re power coated. ( never let your mate thats used to his 4wd drive your lowered car he trys to back over gutters scrape went my rims )

[ducatilover]

i think you have the most powerfull n/a 4age in new zealand from memory. im trying to remember how grunty the last cammed black top i dynoed was. somewhere in the 130kw area i think nutty for an n/a 1600
