I was watching TV a bit ago and saw a new civic commercial, the one where 2 girls are trying to get directions from the guys but they can't hear them. Anyways, the guy asks, "why can't we get any girls?" Look at the car you're driving. A civic!

I dunno about a week ago I had just finished washing my car and went to get gas..there were two girls at pump next to me while I was putting gas in and I heard them say "wow hey nice car!" I knew they weren't talking to me but I turned to see what the car was...and there was a guy in like maybe a 96 honda accord or civic something like that...I was slightly confused..I mean it wasn't even really a rice burner it was a completely stock looking honda not even a coffee can muffler. My camaro has to look better than a stock honda doesnt it??

 

Can you say Ferrari verse geo in looks?
I have seen better looking lawn mowers than Hondas!!!!!!!!!!!!! But in performance wise I would say a Honda would barely be able to pass a lawn mower in that category, maybe not, never mind THEY JUST SUCK

 

You don't need a cool car to pick up girls. You just need to be cool yourself.Charisma.
But don't diss a girl that likes a Honda, She's probably settle for smaller "displacement" and doesn't expect much "performance", on your(***** driver) part.LOL

I pulled into the local hangout for the first time this year and afater awhile I was surrounded by about 15 cars. I was the only one driving an amercan beast!!

Go to a hotrod show then go to an import show. Tell me who has the younger hotter girls there??? Hmm..let's take a guess...
Do I like girls with 2 teeth named Sally, or hot young girls in thongs.

My girl hates my car and all thirdgens. Do I mind? Hell no. I'm glad she does. Take a look at some of the people that drive thirdgens on this site and around your town and you'll know what I mean. There is no such thing as a hot , young, sane girl sweating thirdgens.

Let's see all the responses. "Well umm...my girlfriend bobby sue is fine and she likes my IROC with the 350. Sumbeeeech quick."

LMFAO @ theformula!!

 

in all honesty my girlfriend does like my IROC. she's in college and far from being a redenck/hick type girl. at the gas station not too long ago a woman maybe in her mid 20' said she liked my car. she was driving a huge brand new SUV. but, unfortunatly, since i live in the south the majority of compliments do come from rednecks..

 

oh yea lets not forget those "hot young girls in thongs" are paid to be there. go to Barnes& Noble or any place with a lot of magazines and check out the Import magazines compared to the Chevy magazines. Imports 'zines are filled with half naked chicks because they know they appealing to a trendy young crowd that will one day grow out of their import phase and eventually move on. i actually get girls. i'm not under the illusion that if my car has big *** chrome rims and sounds like a lawn mower hot asian babes in thongs will hang all over my car.

My car is completely stock (BUT NOT AFTER THIS SUMMER) and people are always complimenting my car. I even beat a ***** with my stock car. Mainly cause I told him not to use NOS, which prooves that ricers are damn near nothing without it!

 

Ok guys,
well. gota couple jokes for you:


1. Why Cant a Import Catch on Fire?

A. Because Rice doesnt Burn.

you Say their mufflers are coffee cans. but when turned on they become coffee grinders.

damn. cant remember the other one.

Allot of girls like my car bt then again why havent i had a g/f i a yea i dono. But me and my friends were at ennys and my friends Ex walks up and was all i love your car and in the middle of the parking lot takes her**** off and lifts er bra up and rub her ***** all over my car i had nice inprints on my car=). But llot of the girls i know say my car looks sweet i get allot of complaments on it

 

I think if a girl did that to my car I'd have to yell at her for scratchin the paint...maybe thats why they don't like my car

 

look at it this way:

the only reason hot young girls might like ricers is cuz look who's driving them:

young 17 year-olds who wear BOSS jeans and listen to Eminem (i think i spelled it correctly)

its just a trend that shall hopefully die soon

Yeah, I wish my car could fart like that NOT!!!!!

 

sorry to tell you guys but there is a ***** movie coming out. Lots of ***** people and ricie cars. In the previews they even wreck a muscle car that was racing one . So I am afraid that we will be hearing about this crap for awhile. the preview was on E!

 

My girlfriend is jellous of my car, she says I spend too much time with it. She cares little about cars, but Im teaching her well. Im teaching her all about cars and when we see a honda or an acura, Im teaching her all the derogatory slang. Plus Im teaching all about chevys. Now she points out a 3rdgen for me while I drive. Shes a great girl.

I was excited about seeing that movie untill basicly as a racing movie, but when the ***** beat out the 2nd gen camaro and it crashes, Im boycotting!

 

Yea, I saw the trailer at the movies, I forget the name. Anyways the main character drives an Eclipse and races Integras and Civics throughout the whole movie. But in one shot I thought I saw a 1st Gen Camaro. I'm not sure but it would be nice if that Camaro came out of nowhere and beat the SH*t out of those ricers. Like thats ever gonna hapen

Jiffy, was that a second Gen, the shot of good old American Muscle is so short, you can't even tell exactly what the car is. Now you're tell me it crashes, ohhh that's just crap.

I can imagine the theater parking lot on opening day. Civic, Prelude, and Accord "genuine" type R's as far as the eye can see ... and me getting jumped when I pull in with my Trans Am

-Max

 

I have friends who are DYING for that movie to come out. They are all gonna park on a side street just before the movie gets out and when all the ricers jump in their cars after the flick is over, its time t o cook some rice

However, I do plan on seeing the movie tho because it looks pretty cool and its more or less about stealing cars and racing them, not just about the greatness of imports.

wow, this should be called the import bashing thread!! well im sorry guys, but i give respect to some of the imports out there. i give respect to anyone that wants to fix up their car to make it look different. while it may be true that like 80% of the import 'racers' just have i/h/e and maybe some other stuff and yeah those are slow a$$lawnmowers ... but if they do it right you will be very supprised how fast those damn things are. i hate to admit it, but there are LOTS of daily driven imports that can run low 13's and better ... and while lots of us can go faster than that I know there are some ppl on here who would get beat. so next time you see a little civic hatchback with a fartcan muffler, dont be too happy to race it cuz you never know, it might have a swapped GSR engine and a turbo or supercharger running 12's. k den

I know what movie you guys are talking about. I think its called "The Lawnmower Man Meets NASCAR". Anyway, there is some hope. In one of the previews I saw a ***** get trashed. People were looking at me weird when I started clapping in the theater. Isnt this movie sponsored by Uncle Ben's? And that paint job on one of those ricers....ugh! Looks like someone puked on it! Maybe it was a thirdgen driver after he heard the exhaust.
Oh, and I get plenty of compliments from girls on my Grand Am. Camaro's not on the road. And last week I met this girl driving a 2000 Grand Prix Daytona Edition, 1 of 2000. If I wasn't engaged I think I would have fallen in love!

Congratulations to the guys getting compliments from april ray and bobby sue on their IROCs .

As far as import bashing goes, the american rednecks (like many of you on this thread )
will never learn. No matter what the imports run they'll always be a big belly south carolina accent beer drinking hillbilly who will say "thats just a 4 bangha. aint got nuthin on my threefiffti."

How about the stock engine based 1.8liter Honda Civic Hatchbacks that broke into high 7s in 2001? Show me a Chevy small block that can do that on the stock based block! It can't!! Even if they could, you would still be comparing an 8 cylinder to a 4! lol

Furthermore, the honda (especially type R) engines are made MUCH better than any chevy small block. The type R for example has lightweight pistons, high strength connecting rods, hand ported and polished intake, 8500rpm redline . And it's a naturally aspirated 1.8 4cylinder that can run a 14.6-15.0 in the 1/4. Stock for stock that will scare any L98 owner into next week and beat any other regular thirdgen.

There is also a 100% internaly stock Type R running 10.54 on just NOS. Internally stock 1.8l. See if your chevy small block can do that. Even if you could come close, you'll still be comparing yourself to half the amount of cylinders!

Let's not forget Mr. Craig Paisley. THe 1996 supra tt owner who has 50,000 miles on his car. Heads have never been off. Motor is completely stock. Has everything else done though 8.2 in the 1/4mile on a 3.0 liter.

But like I said, "dem big blocks can haul bobby, bolt that big boy up and tub it"

 

Yeah, that was a 68-69 Charger in the preview, had some blower coming out of the hood, it gets smashed to hell by flipping over.

Don't even try to argue with me on this one. In fact, she's on this board somewhere...

 

I actually got a compliment on the interior of my 86 P.O.S. one day from a 20 something cute girl (not a *******), she said it looked like i just had it redone etc... I was like um ok I think it looks like crap. Also whenever I drive my 92 rs through town I get looks/waves from all kinds of girls I have no idea who they are. As for hotties liking thirdgens I happen to know a few also, not rednecks, but as it stands I know I must be wrong cause theformula said so! But I could agree that the majority of girls who like thirdgens are rednecks, but I can't agree no hotties like them. Am I the only one who yelled Noooo! in the theatre when they saw that preview? Also I don't believe nothing is better than a 350, I have a friend who 10 years ago started looking into modifying 4 bangers and getting some amazing HP it's very possible to whoop thirdgens asses with properly modified small import engines/cars. But what I can't stand is ricers who think there cars are fast cause they added stupid things. They can add a 20 ft spoiler if they want, as long as they want it to look like that and they don't tell me it makes it fast i could care less. I know my car looks good I also know it's slow I don't try to say i race corvettes and beat them.

Last time I looked I never saw a ******* with a fast car. So what's your point?

Also, I never thought to myself whether it's a 4-cylinder or not. In my mind it's car vs. car. If that's what the other guy wants to drive then that's his choice. Too bad he's going to lose

 

Do bears poop in the woods? It doesn't matter what the other car is... that's part of being a *****. Most guys are just doing it for fun if nothing else. They really don't expect to win.

When I had my supercharged '94 Vette I always had Hondas and such tyring to run me. My exhaust was so loud they thought I had it punched when I was really just taking it easy cruising. I'd notice them picking up the pace and going for all they're worth. I'd let them hang for a bit and then burn off the tires around 50 mph, do a few fishtails, and take off like a sling shot.

 

You are giving the imports WAY WAY WAY to much credit. If you did that stuff to a 350 it would be up there. Take a L98, dont take the heads off or touch the block. Super Ram it with runners, manifold, and 58 MM throttle body. 200 HP Nitrous (only used in a gear like fourth, not during shifting or tranny will blow (Maybe???)), 88 - 92 TPI paxton or vortech supercharger (whichever gives more torque), Long tube headers, HI PO y pipe, HI PO CAT, Borla Cat Back, run some crazy boost, and youve got numbers equal or better to that. You gotta remember, they may have 4 or 6 cylinders, but they are also 400 - 800 pounds lighter. Then too top it off, Fuc* with the block, make it a bad @$$ 383 stroker, with aluminum heads. AND YOU WILL BE RUNNING 7's. You gotta compare apples to apples. They got nitrous and supercharger and exhaust and intake, then so do we!!!

OK. i am a chemist.. i work in a lab where all of my friends drive imports.. brand new imports... i could but i own a third gen camaro.. why... because i love the car.. i dont care how fast any rice rocket can go or how much it is modified.. when i get behind the wheel of my iroc it just feels right.. i have been told that iroc stands for italian retard out cruisin but i dont care.. when my friends get in my car and i give it a shot i can see the smile come on their faces. They love it but its just not as socially acceptable now adays... i don't care... and i dont think any of the import lovers have the passion for there cars that muscle car owners do.. they just want attention... I don't want or need attention i just love that feeling of raw power that my car gives me... i am far from a ******* my girlfriend who really liked a tercel has grown to love my car... she is a physiotherapist... Don't get me wrong.. we get a hell of a shock fastor when people we work with hear us pulling up in this monster.. they are all curious... if anyone ever says anything to me about it such as .."why are you driving that beast" i say lets take a spin you get behind the wheel and then ask me" what do i get after that... "SWEET!!!"... People are comfortable in what they know... i know my chevys and yeah maybe they rust easier and maybe they dont have the foreign engineering...I dont care.. my 88 Beretta GT had 298,00 kms on a 2.8l when i traded it for my 94 sunbird 3.1 which now has 220,000 kms.. both with very little done except regular oil changes... American Cars aren't as reliable .. bull****.. you keep the oil changed regularly and those puppies will last forever.. and oh yeah.. my first sports car... 85 nissan 200sx turbo.. it was a pretty cool car but it threw a rod at 120,000 kms....

in all honest, the ricers aint even that durable

pumping that much power into a small engine aint gonna be
plus its a smaller engine so it aint gonna last as long

a chevy smallblock will last much longer because it is much more durable and does not have to work as hard

the only thing the ricers have over us is thier light weight

think about it: if they weighed 3500 pounds and had their stock horsepower(say 170-220), do you think they would beat us?????

PROBABLY NOT !!!!!!!!!!

 

i have no idea where you get size=durability... a 2.1 litre will last just as long as a 5.7. and ive never heard of 700+ cubic inch Merlin block reaching 200,000mi. honda motors do it every day.

what makes a motor last long is how you drive it. if you floor it every chance you get, it wont last as long. if you redline it alot, it wont last as long. if you do regualr tune ups, lube jobs, oil changes and dont use the cheap crap any motor will last a damn long time. the reason merlin blocks and race engine dont last as long is cuz they are raced! which is hard on an engine.

everybody says hondas last forever because generally, hondas arent raced. they are just lightly driven to and fro, not hot rodded with tires spinning, neutral dropping, power braking, clutch dumping, redlining etc. and how many of you with 8cylinders have not driven your car hard? i bet a few of you treat it like a baby but i bet most of you have fun at least every now and then. i know quite a few guys with 6 cylinders that drive em hard and i am friends with a couple "ricers" who punish thier acuras and hondas. they punch em out an get decent horsepower with em, and drive em hard, and they replace / rebuild thier motors every 60,000-120,000 miles.

and if a honda accord weighed the same as my car and had 220hp, it would probably whip my *** . ya see im a LG4 owner. thats a whopping 155hp. now if it had 2.52 gears and i had 5.73s, i could probably take it. right up to my top speed of 75 mph. and its top of 160 would embarss me.

Did you fail to see the post about Craig paisley? By the way, his car has close to 70k on it now and NOTHING inside the motor has gone. 3.0l stock with turbo upgrades and bolt ons. Hmmm...don't see any chevy small block doing that.

A chevy small block would need to be TOTALLY rebuilt with forged crank , pistons, rods, just to be able to take the NOS, boost or whatever you want to force down in there that these "4 bangers" are taking. There is no TPI, LS1, LT1, LT4, LT5 ,LS6 motor running 7s or 8s with an internally stock block are there? When I mean stock block I mean :Stock heads, cam, pistons, rods, crank.

The reason hondas last so long is the way they are built duh. Lightweight pistons, high strength connecting rods, beefier crank. hell, even the stock 10:1 compression Integra Type R I referred to (10.54 in the 1/4) is taking 200hp shots of nitrous with no problems after several runs.

So go ahead and take an L98... superram it, afr heads, stroke the motor to 383, get an ATI 12psi, forged pistons and crank, and a 150hp shot. You know where you will be . in the 10s somewhere thats where. And then you defeated the purpose. You had to increase displacement and replace internal engine pieces.

Thats my whole point hillbillies! The import boys are doing this on stock based motors half the size of ours!

I rest my case.

 

ok now i do have to agree on the fact that import motors are built better than their american counterparts,but who gives a rats *** ?thats part of the fun is working on a motor,not bolting on a few things and saying"hey im fast now".those are the people i hate because they think they know how to work on a motor just because they did that whopping pulley install or intake install.big deal.i would love to see the majority of ricers actually take apart a honda motor and rebuild it,and at the same time have it actually work,and for the same period of time it would from the factory.
ok off that subject and now to the modded rice motor.there is something that you have failed to acknowledge,and that is the comparisons of displacements.its a total duh that youre gonna get more power(percentage wise) out of 2 liter POS by supercharging it than you would a 5.7 liter.why?because there is less motor there to cram all that air into.6 psi of boost is going to be alot more air per cylinder than in the 350.but if you bump up the boost on the 350 to theoretically match that of the 4 banger,youre gonna see a huge gain in power.same thing with nitrous.run a 100 shot of a 4 banger and compare the gain to a 350,and that 4 banger will be screamin compared to the 350.but run a 275 or higher in the 350,with the 100 in the 4 banger,and i bet it would be right up there with the 4.all im tryin to say here is that its easier than hell to make a little motor make gobs of horsepower(but still no torque cause theres no such thing in a jap 4 banger),because theres less there to cram lots of air and fuel into.and do the oblogitory computer mods and you have one strong motor.but its still gonna cost hella more than doing the same **** to a small block.and you can actually rebuild the motor so it works,unlike a jap motor,which has to be to exacting tolerances.garbage *** POS.
oh yeah and remember,the stupid death box civics and all the other POS **** riceburners weigh what,1000 pounds lighter?and yet we can still get our cars to run as fast as them and do it cheaper.and sound better to boot!!which leaves one question to the riceboys.why?
