There's too many young drivers out there carelessly using NOS on the streets, and guess what, they either injure themselves or other people. My opinion, NOS is same as a drug, use it once, you'll keep on wanting to use it. Honda motors and trannies weren't made to handle such a huge shot of HP, thus, use it more, kiss your motor/tranny bye-bye. Like others have said, do I have NOS, No, do I want it, Nope, would I like to try it once, sure--but not on my car.
Given the same scenario, $600 for NOS kit, or $600 buildup... I'm pretty sure after a few years of NOS will eventually make you spend more than the initial $600... then you have to include feeding the bottle...etc... we can argue here all day, I don't want to...
yeah i was curious as to your remarks.. becaus efor the most part you seem pretty cool... everyone bashes nitrous.. but just don't know enough about it... my friend has a all motor hatch with pretty high compression turning out good power (more than my juiced coupe) but he has already had to rebuild in under two years... heres my view.. you make power you will break.. you race you will break.. turbo, N/A, juice, Blower.. ALL are power adders and all can result in breakage.. there is some dip**** down the street from me with a turbo GSR.. his cel light was on so he pulled teh light.. stupid people come in all shapes and sizes.. and all walks of the automotive spectrum.. i LOVE nitrous.. 0 spool up time and CONSTANT.. no progresion.. i am a straight line guy.. thats my cup of tea... if you think anyone can drive in a straight line well when you factor in R/T trtaction issues and fwd unpredictability, then tell me its easy... go drive a 12 sec fwd hatch tell me its easy... it is MUCH harder than most people think (to win races at least)... ANYONE CAN DRIVE IN A circle... doesn't mean they will win... driving and winning are two differant things...
****steps off soap box.. ****
thanks for listening..:thumbup:
