ohh yea... dont put altezza's.. they're just gay

 

cmon guy, i tried to mention he had those when they were in style. its not like he just got them, and reverting back to stock fenders cant be done so easily. paint is expensive.

 

A solid 98% of import show cars are "rice." Rice wins shows.

WideBodyEK: I personnally usually don't consider wide body kits rice by themselves, considering I'm used to seeing wide body RX-7 race cars.
That car is absurdly ricey.

 

phht I get tired of this whole rice thing. In my opinion "rice" is in the persons attitude. If you build up a car with nothing but looks and then have the attitude that your car is fast because of these things then you are absolutely a ricer. I could care less about the wings, body kits, even the led washer nozzles. Everyone is entitled to do whatever they want to their car that they think looks good. Ive seen some seriously (in my opinion) hideous cars that would be considered "rice" in may peoples opinion, that have alot more money wrapped up into them than some genuinely fast cars.

 

Who cares what people think, do what you want. You can spend $7K making your car a whole 2 secs faster in the 1/4mile, you can make it look nice, or a mixture of both. What are your plans for the car? Will you be driving it everyday? Actually racing it (not pretending your a racer)? Weekend car?

 

weird,...one of my cars has a body kit and it ran a 11.3@117 :thinking: ,...damn i didnt know an 11 sec car is considered slow these days,..i thought i was actually doing something :sad:

 

There are rare and unexpected exceptions to that rule. Think of how much faster that car would be without all that aerodynamic drag holding you back.

 

i do not need it to be faster,..considering my actual drag car is already faster than my showcar,...i just love when people misjudge my showcar and they think that im "just another ricer"

 

Making close to 500whp is certainly impressive. I challenge anyone else with a body kit to prove they can make power like that. I doubt anyone else is. I'm just into the sleeper thing. I don't like body kits. They're expensive, go out of style too fast, and almost all of them are lesser quality than OEM parts.

About your sig... I'm interested in info about boosting a Tiburon, too. One of my friends just bought a brand new loaded 0-mile '04 with leather for $16k because the salesman accidentally backed into his Accord while he was on the lot. wned:

That 2.5L I've heard is an actual Hyundai motor, but I have found so many Mitsubishi parts on that car that I'm suspicious. It's hard to tell with all that cowling in the engine bay. Has anyone boosted a Tiburon 2.5L V6 successfully yet, and are the bottom ends really strong enough to handle it? I wouldn't boost the Mitsu 2.5 unless everything in the bottom end was aftermarket. It's a good looking car, though. And nobody would expect that car to be fast, either. I like the interior a lot, though.

 

heh i guess my girl is a ricer then...shes all about the "pretty" stuff and im all about the motor stuff....she picks out whats pretty and i let her know if its worth it...ill put up pics of "our" car when i get some...its got a body kit...pretty mellow body kit...a civic si spoiler and some 17 inch wheels but thats about all the dress up stuff were doing to it...oh and projector headlights only because they were cheaper then buying oem headlights since our origional headlights turned yellow..just waiting on her to decide on which color she wants to paint the car...milano red with metallic flakes..or a bright light blue....been waiting for her to decide since june
