Actually contrary to popular belief, stickers only had hps when applied to a car that already has a cheapo body kit, or a gigantic spoiler, the more stickers you add the more you hp you gain as for torque, you need neons lots and lots of neons.....oil??? last i heard they used it to kill sea creatures but that was back in the day.

There are some really fast hondas and acuras aroudn here, they're really moving man. One turbo integra just beat a 180SX at our tracks "test n tune" on friday. and If I don't find a cheap S-chassis soon I will join the ranks of the honda crew with a 4 door civic...and I shall put on a turbo kit, make the rear-doors suicide, get deck spoiler and an audio set...And SELL IT!

but if I decide to keep it I will do the unthinkable.....

anyways...tuner...heck you're a tuner if you search the FM band in your car...anyone and everyone is a tuner nowadayz

LOL.I’m no tuner, I got no radio, I removed the 3 feet antenna because it was causing aerodynamic drag, I gained like .5 sec in the quarter

Before I owned my 240SX I drove a 1991 4 door Civic DX (4th gen, best looking Civic if you ask me). The one with the D15B2 TBI engine. It wasn't underpowered, it was anemic, but was light enough that you could get some decent acceleration out of it. It was probably one of the best cars I have ever owned.

Between the 240SX and the Civic I would honestly pic either. However, I got the 240SX and sold the Civic. I guess it is because my parents gave me the Civic and I bought the 240SX with my own money that I earned at an internship with the USAF. So I guess I was trying to make my own way, if that makes sense.

Well when i think of the word tuner i think of the shops such as phase,amuse,nismo,kei office,spirit,yashio factory,spoon,hks.. to me those are tuners. we dont have it like that here. we have alot of posers you just get intake, lower there car(in which you can see they know nothing about camber) and think they are a "tuner". but we do have people out there that isnt a so called "tuner" but just people with a passion and a love for cars and you can see that when you talk to them and the look of there car in and out.
