Some peoples ignorance...

[EvillE423]

So I went to the gas station today to get something to drink and when I came out some guy said "Hey, is that your 240?" He asked if I knew where to get a motor for one and I said that I didn't know. He explained to me that while doing 90 in 3rd gear, he then "barked" 4th and blew the KA. I asked him if it was the single cam or the dual cam and he said that it had the KA24. I a little on the inside. He also told me that he had a "skyline" motor but liked the KA better. It blows my mind that people will sit and tell you a bold faced lie and expect you to believe them. I just agreed with him and went along with what he said. He also told me all of this after I told him that I had been driving a 240 for 4 years now and had 2 of them. Some people KILL me!

LMFAO! Boy, is that embarrassing.

[Hooked on 240]

You know its even more funny when i rebuilt my KA last year, then when the shop had a BBQ to get more bussiness. I guy politly (sp?) came up to me and said wow, how much did it cost for that sr20, and why isnt it turbod. I heard there like 400 to the wheel stock.

me -->

i then told him the short term version of the 240 and why its called a 240. he didnt beileve me. after about 3 hours he came back with his car to say bye.. or something. riced out 89 prelude. with a $hitload of si badges everywhere.

I love newyork

[Ghast]

Did he say what "Skyline" Engine? Because if it was an RB20 i don't see why i would not believe him.

Tho there was this kid in town who ALWAYS lied about everything when it came to cars. I think he just wanted to fit in. He would go around telling people his Dad owned a racing team and all this stuff so like. Supposedly he had a few skylines and sti's that he kept in storage. And his Acura TL(not the cool new one, the old arse one) had a "twin turbo" s2k engine in it.

Its stories like that, that i laugh on the inside haha.

One Love,

Ghast, just curious why do you always sign your post? That's the main reason there is a signature.

Gonna have to agree with that

But if he didnt know the difference in KA's id call BS right away.

That is a good question. I think it is a habit, I don't always do it. You do have a point though.

Maybe I am trying to be courteous on a forum haha, i dunno.

yeah I had a guy next to me at Autozone try to convince me his early '90 Accord handles better than my 240. and that he can even beat an SR his car was bone freaking stock except for an OMGHAWTJDMTYTE cold air intake, APC sticker, and muffler tips. laughed at me for not having an after market intake.I let him go back home to cry himself to sleep.

Yeah, but some of them are members here. I might have problems if I post about them...

So, instead... I'll tell about a little fib I told...

So anyways, years ago, I used to go to this car meet that was predominately a VW meet. But there were quite a few 240 guys that would always crash. Over time, I got really sick and tired of the pompous attitude of the majority of VW attendees and I stopped going.

Maybe a year later, a friend convinced me to go check it out again as we were driving by. One of the particularly a$$hole-ish guys remembers me and asks (with a scoff) if I'm still putting down 140 hp to wheels.

Here's where I lie thru my effin teeth... I proceed to tell him that now I've got I/H/E, e-fans, cams, re-tune... Basically everything you can do on a mild N/A KA. Then I preceed to state that at my dyno tune, the car made 180rwhp, so that's about 200 at the crank...

At that point he stopped looking all smug about his VR6 and we wrapped up the conversation. I quickly burnt out like I was too cool for school before someone asked me to run with them...

Every 240 guy knows yo a$$ ain't gettin to no damn 180whp w/ some bolt ons and drivetrain mods on a KA! But he didn't call my bluff, though!

I'm almost certain I was called a later...

I am going to be honest. Usually when i right haha or Lol it is not actually out loud. But that story is very funny. best part

"try to convince me his early '90 Accord handles better than my 240" LOL!

Thanks for sharing man!

Omg also good stuff!

You represented and at the same time put him in his place! I think that would be called a "white lie", tho i am unsure of the definition of "white lie". But you Owned him p0ker style!

Good Stuff!

*Drops Microphone*

[s13beast]

hahaha ghast your so weird dood. In a good way tho. Well i got one.This kid at my school drives a honda civic hatch with NO exhaust. i think he cut it off right after the header, any who he ALLWAYS bounced it off the redline on the way out and it was the loudest most annoying sound to be heard by human ears. like the sound of a bee flying being amplified times 1,000,000,000 and the kid said it had a ls1. I was like oh dang that must be a si type-R? he was like yeah bra

[Harman850T5]

A guy I used to work with had a 6 cyl firebird that he told everybody was a v8. The old owner apparently took off the dual exhaust for a single to "fool people". He thought that just because it was loud people would think it's a V8. His stock auto z28 Camaro ran 12.4 at the track on a bad day. I just asked if he meant the 1/8th mile and not the 1/4. His dad also worked in Japan and was going to import a new JDM TYTE GTR for him.

There are a lot of people who apparently have a friend with the same set up or something better when you tell them about something or a car you really like. This is the one that happens all the *word I can't say* time

I just go along with it because I'm too nice to be the smartass I usually am, although I do make crap up back to see if they are really that dumb.

Like the stock five speed supercharged 95 Lightning

[spank044]

Yeah, but some of them are members here. I might have problems if I post about them...

There are way to many liars on here. I mostly hang out with an older group of muscle guys because they have true street cars and not riced out Honda's. They accepted me because I am fast and that's what we're all about.

Last year at a local drag strip this kid in a 3rd gen eclipse was bugging me for a heads up race against him and his 10 sec eclipse, so after i smoked him by three and a half seconds with a 11.44 he was no where to be found. He actually left the test and tune because he was so embarrassed.

[Ghost_silvia]

Those Fibbers are found in all faccets of life not just in the car enthusiasts world. Theres a guy at work who said his galant is in the shop and getting a Super rare bodykit forced induction basically the works.  I always here stories of people telling me he's trying to sell it cause he pays payments insurance for a car he doesn't drive and also bought him a 350Z on top of that so I know he's hurting for $$$$ The funniest thing to do with those kind of people is just nod your head    and BS with them.

[EvillE423]

But if he didnt know the difference in KA's id call BS right away.

That's what I thought too.

Thought you guys might get a kick out of hearing about a KA that will grab 4th! I'd love to see that thing!

There are a number of Modular V8 mustang guys who switch to single exhaust. They seem to swear by it. The one guy I used to work with had a 2002 GT with a single exhaust and took off all the GT badges. Kinda kept you guessing but it was the real deal.

But even the LT1/LS1 F bodies have dual exhaust out the back its all joined its just aesthetics, its 2 to one back to 2

[xX RB Xx]

^^^^^ you sig is way to big...

anyways here is a conversation with a v6 mustang owner when i still had 4 cylinders

mustang dude: is that your 240?me: yeah its mine.mustang dude: whats it got in there? a little 4 banger?me: yeah its the stock 4 banger.mustang dude: oh that sucks, because mine has a v6.me: just because you have 2 more pistons that me doesnt mean your faster than me.mustang dude: really? because i have 2 more pistons that you. i must be faster. 6 is bigger number than 4.me: your stupid.

[blackbetty]

this old douche at my work has a new style convertible mustang. He put exhaust and front lip on it (which i painted for him) and he said he ran an 11 second 1/4 and the track kicked him out for not having a parachute lol. This guy is either in his upper 40's or just turned 50 and dies his hair blonde and has a rediculous wandering eye. I guess that's why everyone calls him "c*** eye" behind his back. Oh and he also refers to his car as "the stanger" sits at QT parking lot for hours smoking cigarettes with his top down.

mid life x 1000.

[S14toRPS13]

^^^^^ you sig is way to big...mustang dude: really? because i have 2 more pistons that you. i must be faster. 6 is bigger number than 4.me: your stupid.

LOL, I had guys like that at work. One guy thought that his V6 Mustang was faster than my car too. That is until we went to the track and I ran 3 seconds better in my 4 banger than he did in his V6 . Then his excuse was, "Oh you have turbo".Then there's another guy who found out what I ran at the track. He seriously says to me, "Hey, the turbo on your car makes it just as fast as my 6 cylinder." Mind you, he has a brand spanking stock Acura Legend. I want to see his reaction if he talks to the V6 Mustang guy.

Thank you And i enjoyed your story. Reminds me of this kid at my school, The science building parking lot is where all the auto tech students park, And boy oh boy do people show their true colors when they know there are people around to see them do these awesome stunts. One guy has this old old civic hatch, the one that looks like a Box. So anyways every time he sees me leaving its like he waits in his car to drive off till he sees me get into my car. Then he freakin lets it rip in front of me, not farting but just as bad with the fart can. What makes me laugh so hard is when they put such big pipes on their engines and lose torque like hardcore. So when he lets it rip his car is NOT MOVING AT ALL i am talking like 20 MPH but it sounds like it should be going like 100 or something you know? And in my head EVERY time i just visualize what hes seeing and feeling and it goes a little like this.His thoughts:"There he is" "this time i am going to drop it at Redline, that will really instigate a race" "is he looking?, oh good hes looking" *Hits redline and drops clutch*. "yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! vtech boi! vtech taste it! mmmmmmmmmm feel it!"

Now at this point in his mind he is looking REALLY cool, but let me tell you what i see.

*i am walking to my car and i make notice him staring me down waiting for me to get into my car, using my peripherals* "oh GOT D*M*IT this guy again" *I start my car* " here his *** comes, i swear if he gets to close to my car i am going to just tap him" "there he goes! making himself look stupid like hes marking his territory with piss." "Why is he not even moving, what the heck?!"

And that is when i turn the opposite way he went haha.

I never new about the mustang guys doing that, learn something new everyday.

I knew about the exhaust set up on the F bodies, but it was very easy to tell his was the v6 model, and the single exhaust tip looked like it would have chocked a 350. His car wasn't loud at all until he disconnected the exhaust to put on a catback that wouldn't bolt up.
