Re: why do honda/import "tuner" people think their stuff is fast

rx7speed, get a thirdgen and then you can talk. That is just like somebody with a Camaro joining an rx7 site and commenting. Go ahead and defend imports. Hope you know i drove an Rx7 turbo 2 once and got beat by a 1999 Old Intrigue, and yes the rx was in great shape and making good boost.

Wow you used the multi quote for once...

And NO!! Turbo's aren't refered to as stages at all!! Get it through your head! Stock dsm turbos are 14b's. Next up is the evo 16g then evo 20g. They get bigger and bigger but aren't called stage 1, 2 ,3 turbos. Your an idiot and have no clue to what your talking about so just shut up already.

It's probably one of those things that is too "old school" for you to know about to be quite frank. For example a "stage 2" 300zx TT actually made a better ET at the track then the so called "stage 4" car. The stage 4 car at US. 13 Dragway actually had traction issues. So, that should give you an idea. Makes me wonder what type of crowd is into the foreign car scene now. Oh, wait are they all anally pc nowadays? Must be the milk. Oh, wait dont we call them r@#ers?

I believe that I saw this on Forza 1. I typed it into google and all that came up was pictures of vin desal, a supra, and some Japanese **** (I'm joking of course). Have you seriously not even googled this thing that everyone is telling you doesn't exist?

Aren't you the one named Skeeter? isn't your Mom calling you? Wait you said you were in the military right and didn't live with your Mommy anymore right? Your some type of seaman in the Navy?

We then you must be an awful driver.

Just because someone doesnt drive a specific car a forum is created for doesnt mean they dont have good imput on various subjects. You need to broaden your horizons pal.

Re: why do honda/import "tuner" people think their stuff is fast

that's fine about you getting beat by a old's ninetyone. it's not the fault of the rx7 you can't drive.

don't think between you and I conversing did I really defend imports. all I've done is say that you don't know what you are talking about. has little to do with imports at that point. at this point all I'm really doing is defending intelligence against you.
boy I have my work cut out for me. Thank goodness I've had many years on this site dealing with many people just like you though so I think I'm ready.

what does me owning a thirdgen have to do with my ability to speak? Second I've had camaro guys join the rx7 site and comment. as long as they are smart and know what they are talking about I welcome them. I'm not to worried about what everyone drives but rather enjoy the people.

those arent real turbo chargers sizes, those are knockoffs and the sellers dont even know there true sizes, i can go on ebay right now and pick out a handful of turbos listed as stage 1 2 3 4 that are all identical turbos

Re: why do honda/import "tuner" people think their stuff is fast

ok so you found something called marketing. that doesnt' define the difference between stages or why a stage 3 turbo is larger then a stage 4 turbo. or for that matter how a stage 3 turbo and a stage 4 turbo are the same thing as well.

who cares if a car caters to the hiphop rap crowd. what does that really have to do with anything? second I've seen just as many thirdgens around here blaring their rap songs as I have imports.

thank goodness. it's more fitting that way. I wouldn't want you to soil the good image an rx7 makes. shame you drive a thirdgen though. makes thirdgen owners look bad. would be better for them if you would dump it and get a hick car instead as I really don't care for how you soil their image.

who says I don't, or I haven't? what does owning a thirdgen even have to do with my right to speak to other thirdgen owners? let me ask do you own a rx7, if not would you be going against your own advice by making comments to me about rx7's? and finally what does any of this have to do with a thirdgen anyway? I wasn't puting thirdgens down or anything of the sort. hell I don't even think in the talk between you and I that imports,rx7's, or thirdgens where even brought into the conversation by me untill you chose to do it.

And better be careful with the personal attacks. It's a good way to get kicked off the site.

What size is your brain? I haven't seen one respectful, intelligent, appropriate, or constructive post by you tonight.

What is your goal in posting on the thread? To insult everyone and then get banned from the site? Your pretty close. I haven’t felt any personal injury yet. Perhaps you should attack a moderator or another army vet. I don’t suggest you do any of these things of course. It's not cool what you have posted here tonight.

I'm pretty sure I stated earlier I lived at home which I dont see why thats important. Also, I said I was in Spain currently, I don't live here. And lastely, I never said I was in the military. Once again, you are a retard

But I owuld still have to get past that whole I'm not gay thing plus the happily married part and I'm just not sure if I'm ready for that kind of change yet.
My intention here started with a good friend of mine way back in 2001 who owned a 91 camaro. I would help him out working on his car as he helped me work on my rx7 back then. good guy good friend of mine. I came on here trying to get information to help him out after he showed me the site. since then I enjoyed some of the people, learned quite a bit about thirdgens, and if I can have tried to help others out as well. as such I've stayed here for many many years. granted sometimes more active then others but I've always been here in one way shape or form.
I guess that I'm a little more open minded when it comes to stuff like this. I don't see it as a us vs them attitude but rather we are all people and the type of car one drives doesn't define that person. I've driven/owned everything from a 71 chevy camaro, 76 toyota celica, 76 honda accord, 89 subaru GL, 87 pontiac firebird, 93 ford mustang, 92 eclipse, 1996 buick century (current daily driver) and a couple others. right now I'm debating trying to talk my wife into letting me buy either a 1993 rx7, a 1999 740i, or mabe a 2003 330i (the 740 and 330 are better family cars I would have to admit). so what kind of person does that make me though with the types of cars I've driven owned?

next question I have is if I'm respected by many people on this site long before you came here why don't I have a right to be here?

I haven't been defending imports. I'm not sure where you started thinking I was. I came in regarding you talking about turbo's and stages. what does that have to do with imports? As far as the rx7 I had how do you know how fast it was or what mods it had done to it?
either way again where awas I really defending imports with the talk I've had between you and I?

where did I defend impors and where are you correcting me? I see you doing not much more then trying to insult me, insult the type of car I used to drive, and really not much else. and take a look around at this site. so far most at this point I woul dthink would rather have me around then you. if you ask any of the old timers I'm sure they would say that. key difference is I'm welcomed on this site and respected here. you on the other hand I'm not so sure about.

Ninetyone. I'm going to be very honest with you. The moderators around here sure are VERY lenient, seeing as how every other forum I'm on...SVTperformance, LS1tech, etc would have banned you after your second, maybe third post. I'm sure if someone got upset enough they could send this entire thread to a mod and take some action. I personally don't really care enough either way, but just saying...

i thought turbos were measured in mm like a turbonetics 37mm turbo?

and i've seen some nice rx7s the rotary engines dont make a sound quite like an american v8, or a honda 4 banger, it is unique, and i'd drive one, probably only for drifting though that or an ae-86 (yes the initial d car)

Do you know what "Offend" means? I could post a definition from a Websters Dictionary or I could multi quote his posts. Either way you get a good Idea what the word means in context.

Baaaaah ha ha ha. Damn man, way to break the argument. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that pic. That thing looks pissed off. Like it's about to hop out and latch on to your jugular.

Yea they are. I was just reffering to the stock turbos. For example, the stock dsm is TD05H 14B. But they are measured in mm's. I was just saying I have never heard of a turbo being called stage 1 and so forth.

yes and read the replies you managed to get. nobody liked you, your replies or what your message was. from what I've seen your point was thirdgen owners are insulting, close minded, people that base their likes only on the type of car someone drives rather then anything else. that if you don't drive the same type of car that a third gen owner does then you are an idiot and not worthy of talking to or do you have any right to speak unless you own a thirdgen.
to me that is a bad message to put out there and part of the reason I have backed away from this site as it's people like you my friend that ruin the image of thirdgen owners and this board. again look at the replies you have managed to get and even your own kind so to speak don't care for you.
now look at the replies I've been getting from your own kind. so far none. nobody has said anything bad about me or in reply to what I'm saying.
what does that tell you?

yes and when did I bash a thirdgen? can you please quote to me where I bash a thirdgen or even defend a import really in the conversation we have had? I didn't did I?
you turned this down that route on your own by yourself. nothing I was saying before then had anything to do with the whole import/domestic/thirdgen thing.
you tried due to seeing something that wasn't there or believing things that didn't happen instead wanted to bring up that fight.
you are the one who made this a car vs car or import vs domestic or even about thirdgens in general.
you are the one who tried to push me off this site because you don't believe I own a thirdgen.
you are the one who tried to bash someone elses car and are the one who started those type of actions
again look back and see what type of message you are giving to others before you speak cause right now the message you give really makes your fellow thirdgen people look bad.
