Aries lost? WTF?

[nlzmo400r]

The DSM that posted was not on gas.....Later in the post "MikeredLX" claims to have beaten him while spraying in just 1st.

He also lost to a turbo prelude.

i never heard the prelude story , mustve been a damn quick prelude, also, spraying in 1st is still 'on gas' to me, as long as nitrous shoots into that intake, its 'gas'

[nlzmo400r]

BTW, Mike Red LX runs a 10.6 1/4 mile, so I had no problem losing to him on the street on my little 100 shot.

LMAO, the guys on the ICCH board all bash me for losing to Trey's turbo prelude the weekend I got the car . That vid's been posted here too.

Personally, I'm done with this thread.

well thanks for the clearup, perhaps you and ryan should run again, now that the SS is complete!?

[nlzmo400r]

well now that ive read more, i can contract my last two posts, sorry for the confusion about the nitrous, i take back whatever i said, cause hell, i confused myself, and now that i know they ARE racing again, kinda makes me last post stupid. Anyway, Aries, if u see this, how fast is your car NOW? as compared to what it was in that prelude video?, its sad to say but the only races ive seen you run you lost , lets see some vids of you winning bro (i know u have em ), and i too dont like hte way they bash on Aries, its pretty fuked up IMO, he has a nice car, and did what he wanted to with it, and they're all saying he makes us look bad? yea right, he makes us (wel atleast me ) look better IMO, and he's got great creativity, lets see you run that prelude from a light aries, thatd be funny *snickering*

[jdmfreak]

[nlzmo400r]

[nlzmo400r]

[Nismo_Freak]

Anyone that has ANY knowledge of business will tell you he is screwed and tattooed.

[wpg240]

Ya, I just read the latest Afterdark thread (search Afterdark) and it looks like it's getting pretty ugly.

[nlzmo400r]

We all did, Adam simply made a few miscalculations and many mistakes along the way. It's very hard to start your own business with inexperience, his story just goes to show how easily a good thing can become bad.

Hopefully with us it won't be the same, we are taking precautions and working with many other friends and relatives who own/run/maintain businesses and have taken their advice. It's been MORE than helpful. We've been taking a low stance on our business with NICO as of recently because we don't wanna jump the gun. We'd like to have everything in stock and ready to open before we let the cat out of the bag.

Nismo_Freak, Hope your motor sales/buisness goes well.

Thanks North... I am in the process of working on the site at the moment whenever I get the time. I've been trying to get 10 million things done at once and it's slowly all coming together.

I REALLY DONT MIND ANY **** WORK IVE DONE IT BEFORE FOR A PAINT AND BODY SHOP.. TO ME ITS GOOD EXPIRENCE AND I JUST WANNA LEARN MOSTLY.. AND HELL IF NO JOB WILL COME THROUGH I WANNA JUST BE ABLE TO LEARN IF NOTHING ELSE.. JOE

[singlecamhonduhkilla]

HEY I THOUGHT OF A STUPID QUESTION AT 7AM WITH NO SLEEP.. LOLSINCE ARIES HAS AN LT1 ENGINE IN THERE.. WHAT KIND OF EXHAUST DOES HE HAVE.. DOES HAVE LIKE FLOWMASTERS OR WHATEVER OR DOES HE HAVE LIKE THE NICE SHINY MUFFLER TYPE?I TOTALLY FORGOT TO LOOK WHEN I SAW HIM AT THE HOT IMPORT NIGHTS IN HOUSTON... CAN ANYONE ANSWER ME THAT!!JOE

[nlzmo400r]

id be lying if i told you, im guessing he's using some kind of exhaust thats set up for the breathing habits of big v8s

[Nismo_Freak]

LoL ... it's not a big V8 by any means, especially when you compare it to something like a 740cid V8 lol. But it's goin on a diet and it's moving up to a 383 soon. It uses duals into a single 3" pipe out to a Flowmaster type muffler. Nothing fancy, gets the job done. However there has been talk of using a dual canister design just to see how a V8 sounds through a Jap exhaust.

Joe, the shop will be in Houston chief. However we will be more than happy to let a few of you NICO guys come and chill-out at the shop.

Just as a little hint... we will be stocking Tomei parts for the RB, SR, and CA series engines as well as a selection of our own in-house products. We will carry names like Nismo, Tomei, JUN, HKS, Blitz, etc. I can pretty much say that pricing will be competitive... prolly not gonna be the cheapest around with all the overnight internet pop-up companies around, but we can back most of our product with a warranty and customer service including tech help.

[nlzmo400r]

i must admit, to me almost any v8 is big, especially when yo're used to driving a 4cyl

[Aries]

yes, it's true...There is thought of putting an N1 Dual on my car.Should sound really deep, but may be overly loud to anyone outside the car.

[nlzmo400r]

give it a shot, see what happens, couldnt hurt much, im sure itd be easy to sell if u didnt like it afterward

[singlecamhonduhkilla]
