Sorry its so long. Here is my list:Kid (rich, rich) who went to my school (lets call him Greg) who has a Silver '96 Civic EX coupe with a Razzi or whatever bodykit, stick on hood pins and a black racing stripe down the middle. Some bolt ons and oh yeah 18" TE37s. Don't forget the chrome fire extinguisher and huge Tach inside. Oh yeah, it was an automatic!Me: Nice wheels, what size are they? Greg: 18x10Me: Wow, I didn't know you could fit 10s on a civic!Greg: Yeah, they took three months to come from Japan and cost $3200. I got Yokohama Prada's too.Me: You mean Parada. Wow, 225's huh?Greg: Yeah, they work awesome in the snow, they are so big they used to rub until I got my camber kit. Those ***holes at Jotech (D'oh- JOTECH!!!) sold me my neuspeed springs and those rims and didn't even menion that I would have to get two sets of tires a year until I asked them what was wrong with my tires.Me: What else have you done to it?Greg: I got two of those spiral inducers(y'know the TORNADO "supercharge any car for $35" ads) installed. I estimate they add about 70hp.Me: Uh, what?!Greg: I was gonna put a turbo kit on it but I decided to get the Jackson Racing supercharger instead. I like supers better than turbos. But I can't decide whether to get that or the new Black Widow bodykit. I mean, my car's really fast already!Me: Turbos are complicated...Greg: Yeah, I'd have to get a bigger intercooler and stuff.Me: You mean you'd have to get a front mount intercooler..?Greg: Yeah, the one on my car is ****in tiny!Me: Uh, you don't have an intercoolerGreg: What? I thought all cars have intercoolers. then what's that thing that looks like an intercooler?Me: A radiator?Greg: Oh, damn. I dunno **** about cars. What's that for?....SO TWO MONTHS LATER GREG HAS A JR SUPERCHARGER AND BLACK WIDOW KIT
The other day I spent part of my lunch break taking apart my trunk to see what happened to the 2 liters of water that leaked out of my Camelbak while it was in my trunk and check out how I would install my new fuel pump. The Coca Cola machine service kid pulls up in the truck. He later tells me he is down with "Twiztid Importz" CC and owns a white '95 accord 4 door with yellow trim and CF hood, Motegi 18s, and altezzas."Bro that **** is BAD! A 200zx?""No, 240sx.""Is it a turbo?""No, not yet""Oh **** you're gonna put a single turbo!""No, actually I am getting ready to do an SR20DET swap""Oh ****! My boy in my crew has a red hatchback civic with turbonetics!""What kind of turbo?""Turbonetics""What type of TURBINE?""Oh ****, I dunno, but that ****er's FAST yo!""Uh, cool.""YEAH, HE HAD THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS GRAPHICS, YOU KNOW LIKE WITH THE LITTLE GUY ON THE DOOR, BUT HE TOOK THEM OFF..""So what's wrong anyway? Gotta flat?""No, I'm just checking out my trunk for water and to see how my new fuel pump will go in""SIIICK! A Holley or what?""No, Tomei.""Wat's that for?""My SR20DET swap.""I heard Holley's are good.""Yeah. But this one's supposed to be good to 500hp.""A fuel pump can add 500hp? Damn, that ****er's bad! You should come cruise with us tonight""Ah, actually I'll be working on my car I think.""Siick! Aight later bro"(under my breath) "Yeah, **** off!"
Local bright red Eclipse GST owner with 18" chrome flame shaped spoke rims got huge white "GTS" graphics on the side of his car, each letter about 12" tall. From one side you can actually read the "GTS" decals and "GST" emblem at the same time! I guess the financing APR was lower on the Eclipse than on the Mustang or Celica...
An old beater 300zx with yellow wipers, mirrors, spoiler, and about six giant yellow NEUSPEED stickers on it. Exact same mods can be found on the following: Burgundy Geo Metro, Spray painted baby blue mlate 80's S10, and about 150 other cars here in Santa Fe.
