Decals are a "must" mod.....low cost, light weight, unlimited horsepower....[sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif]

i just thought of something.if a simple "type R" decal adds 5hp..just imagine what those APC full body vinyls add!!?!?!?

Yep. I took one of those F&F tinker toys out last week. Sad too, because with all his decals, stickers and advertisments on his straight from the movie car, he had to have at least 45,000,000,000,000 horsepower from them and I walked all over him.[sm=smiley36.gif]

Im still laughing about that civic!
Its so funny!

So we take $5000 car, WASTE $30000 and only pull 12s huh.

Thats sad, $35000 later, we have a car with decent speed, but its still a hatchback civic.
With $10000 more, you can get a Caterham Super 7, their top model at that, and have a Lambo follow you up to 100mph. Then it will rip past you but still, you waste money on useless garbage that won't impress many people out of the whole compact car trash. My project Bronco can manage to eat civics with slight engine mods and a 2 speed automatic.
(I say 2 speed because it only has first and second gear, no high gear yet, need to pull off the valve body and HOPEFULLY find the reason why she ain't shifting into high gear.)
Sigh, civics need to be cushed. Damn ricers.
I witnessed a F250 smash into the front end of a civic 4dr on my recent trip to Montreal, *rolls-eyes*

i really don't understand why people find rice attractive. the tiny motors alone are a turnoff, no torque! all these body kits and what not are so hideous looking to me, heh. what about those annoying fart pipes that make their whimpy engine noises sound louder as in even more annoying, argh. if they do performance mods, they have to put in as said earlier around $30k. for 30k why not just get something that runs 12s stock? instead of trying to bastardize an economy car, let vehiles fill their provided roles.

offtopic: i find import trucks with "race motors" quite out of place. a pickup is meant to haul things, not buzz their way through the highway. high compression forced induction, high tech gizmos, etc wtf??? you want speed? get a friggin sports car that was meant to go fast!
