Boi racers in Christchurch cont'd

[lostinflyz]

A 900kg bzg levin with 215hp at the wheels, 6k worth of sounds and a bodykit. Car is fully insured rego and wof are current no fines against it, it's n/a handles well is loud but in the legal restrictions everything is certified and I don't go out looking to race.

in that statement i find things dubious. i know 6 grands worth of stereo equipment weighs the same as a small fuel tanker. but relistically prob about 100 kg. which means your levin is now 800 kg. and. and thats quite a drop in the curb weight. but its possible.

from there you say it handles well. i recently made my car handle well. it cost a fortune (i.e. i should have just bought another car type fortune). then you say you have full insurance. Now as a youthful type i know the price of full insurance even with simple suspension upgrades (i raised my car cause an farking idiot lowered it something idiotic).why we have to go get special insurance for a car with what equates to a bike having ohlins suspenders confuses me.

All these are possible but only a select few of nz's wealther(or the type gaining debt at a rate certain to ruin the world) can afford to do all those things. which you may be one of either (im joining the rnzaf now). but im suspcious now.

but anyway. Now im all for idiotic acts that do no harm and arent of annoyance. between 10 and 8 do as you wish. Have a loud exhaust (big exhuasts are for homos). do a burnout (energy conversion as good as a harley). but after that the car goes home and into a garage (just like a bike). Dont go drive around all town all night with you stupid huge exhuast. Dont do a burnout. Dont fucking rev your engine. its arogant and pointless. and its fucking annoying.

Why do boi (learn to spell) racers think that breaking the law is ok just cause no one gets hurt?? I speed (which can be dangerous and i try not to be, but the gov't policy on speed is shite,therefore i speed). i may do a wheelie. i may do a burnout. but i do it so as NOT to piss off people. but if i get snapped i get snapped and i take it cause its the law and lifes a bitch. i dont start thinking i know better and dont have to listen. I don't encourage people to piss others off.

I know alot of that sounds subjective but i think the world should have the intelligence to know right (ish) from wrong. if you cant figure out that then you deserve to be shot. If you follow the rules then you are not a boy racer (well kinda). But you have said you didn't. you say you dont. and that makes ye a boy racer

Not necessarily. A good head unit can cost up to $1000, add $500ish to that if you want a screen. Amp can cost up to $1000, and the rest is install, sound deadening, and well-designed cabling. Plus capacitors etc. Easily get to $6k at much less than 50kg.

from there you say it handles well. i recently made my car handle well. it cost a fortune

Not necessarily. A good suspension specifically made for the car model by a good brand (HKS, etc) may cost only $2000 for a levin. Even less if you know where to get a bargain for the same brand. And it does improve handling from the standard (and most likely old and worn) suspensions.

then you say you have full insurance. Now as a youthful type i know the price of full insurance even with simple suspension upgrades

Sounds like your insurance cost an arm and a leg. Who do you work with? My insurer wouldn't even charge me a dime more when I told them the suspension is aftermarket adjustable and lowered.

All these are possible but only a select few of nz's wealther(or the type gaining debt at a rate certain to ruin the world) can afford to do all those things. which you may be one of either (im joining the rnzaf now).

My car is worth in the upwards of $25k but I don't owe a cent to the bank. Private sectors (and I mean legal ones) pay quite well if you know where to work but you gotta work like you mean it and sometimes do things you don't exactly like to do (e.g., "my work sucks but I gotta keep it anyway")

Have a loud exhaust (big exhuasts are for homos).

Larger diameter exhaust pipes improve gas flow and is beneficial especially to a forced-induction engines. On the other side, changing mufflers is similar to motorbicyclers who chose to put Akrapovic/Arrow/TBR/Leo Vince/etc exhausts on their bikes. There are obviously some exceptions to those who choose these based simply on loudness, but for the others there are indeed performance and aesthetics aspects to consider. Your stereotyping here seems to be based on a bigoted and narrow perspective.

You're contradicting yourself here. And if you don't think you know better, how do you know you're not pissing off people (and the correct term is "pissing people off")?

Unfortunately the focus of the NZ world is now on every driver of modified cars (which are not European-made, Holdens, or Fords) to be branded derogatorily as "boyracer"; in a similar way we motorbicyclers are 99% branded derogatorily as being part of a gang, rides irresponsibly, or breaking the law, and that despite us being 15kms under the speed limit cladded with full leathers and helmets on a perfectly legal brand new 50cc scooter on the left hand side of the road WITH A GODDAMN FULL LICENSE!

FUCK YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU FUCKING NZ HERALD READER BIGOT BASTARD!

[slofox]

I thought this might be appropriate for a boy racer thread...if you've seen it before, don't look...

[Mikkel]

And fuck me if it doesn't just get better and better - watch out die waffen SS, coming soon to a sub-urban street near you.

[ManDownUnder]

yeah... but...

If someone's not breaking the law then who cares if you get pulled over by the cops? Just like on a bike - I don't give a shit. If the cops want me to stop - I stop. Doesn't matter if Im in a modded car, on a loud bike or driving a f'n hovercraft. The priciple's the same.

I'm totally in support of the cops keeping me and mine safe and if it means I have to take 5 mins out of my day every now and then it's a totally acceptable price.

In private property then yeah - do what you like... but bring on the road isn't a God given right. And abusing that privilege is the perfect way to lose it. Any tosser speeding past my front gate in a manner that's dangerous or constantly annoying will get my ire. Anyone pouring diesel on the road or doing burnouts or... any of the other stupid stuff deserves what they get.

And anyone STUPID enough to pull a gun on the police?... then react to the police escalating it by issuing more threats??? Call the f'n army.

What are those waffen SS in asian-made cars? With their race supremacy philosophy, they should've been in BMWs and Audis, or Beetles.

how did you strip 160kg out of your bzg levin yet still have sounds and kit? and 215hp [160kw] at the wheels from an n/a silvertop?
sounds magic too me.

now on topic, i would assume boyracers are young boys out on the streets racing people. loud car does not equal boy racer nor does big wheels. boy racers are twats

First it's a blacktop and I purchased the car in that condition minus the sounds took it to a dyno and a weigh station. Honestly I don't care if you beleive it or not my car is always underestimated. Plus it makes me happy so yeah insurance is $1800 a year and my excess is $1000.

Hope this isn't commenting to far out, but I notice bike clubs and car people who are very troublesome tend to be also a type to militantly stick to their own skin color or similar.

FUCK YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU FUCKING NZ HERALD READER BIGOT BASTARD!

why oh my your as grumpy as i am.

A stock levin doth not handle. so shocks and springs is pretty limited.

and yes a car may be fitted with 6 grand worth of entertainment and tv screens that weigh less than 100kg. but that is called an entertainment centre. and belongs in a lounge. hmmm i guess it kinda already is.

while larger diameter exhaust pipes is beneficial (to a point) a properly designed system does not require pipe diameters similar to that used to transfer gas for entire nations across continents. That being said i am a large fan of nice noises. I like nice noises at large volumes. large exhausts have never made a nice noise (4 cyinder jap. family sedans do not make nice noises. no family sedans do.)

The correct term for pissing off people is pissing off people, as pissing people off is merely the same words rearranged with an identical meaning.

You may have a friendly insurer person. you are lucky. I hope they are nice when you need to claim. I am with NAC as most insurers wont touch a car with anymoney spent on it, and will deny your claim if they find it as such. I was nearly caught out but this one with some people saying it all good but it not being so.

but either way you speak of me as a bigoted bastard. i take that as a compliment. but a NZ herald reader. You bastard!

My levin is not stock and ud be surprised how well stock levins can handle half the time its the driver not the car also my car has far from stock suspension I have no body roll.

[Marmoot]

also my car has far from stock suspension I have no body roll.

That's normal. Levins can only go below 60kph so normally have a very low body roll

They're 2 cylinders short

If only life is that simple, mate.

The Phantom Expander!

And that is why we automotive enthusiasts are so pissed off right now. Ride/drive/be in anything that is not a Prius/Holden/Ford/Camry and you get labeled as an outlaw.

By who?the media?if so why care?

[Marmoot]

By who?the media?if so why care?

It's called trial by media. Media incites people, people demand government action, the next day you can kiss your akrapovic/arrow cans goodbye as govt bans vehicle modification.

We live among 4 million sheeps who can't think of themselves and are happy to shoot themselves on their own foot. Don't believe me? Check out who voted for the labour govt who almost banned lightbulbs and good showers.
