I dont have a prob with that. I even just bought a $2K just to "trick" out, but when its done it will have roughly 400whp, thats my goal anyway.

I just a have a prob with the plain tackiness.

Fast and the Furious started all this. I mean sure it was around before the movie, but the movie just helped get it out in the open more.

Now it\'s spreading like rabbits on hump day. (Hump day is Wednesday):D

Uhm..it has been around WAAAAYYYYYY before TF&TF...the sport is the reason for the movie. The only thing the TF&TF is responsible for is giving us sport compact enthusiast\'s a bad name.

Uhm... Did you even read my post? I said it\'s been around before the movie. And I know the movie was made because of the sport. The only point I was making, is people that weren\'t into the sport seen the movie and it sparked peoples interest.

I did read it..just making the point clear. ANywho, I think that movie was a bad idea for the enthusiasts b/c after it came out, I was talking to a buddy of mine that ownz a tuner shop and after 6 days, his nitrous sales were up 200%(roughly, a little less techincally)

These guys now think they have ballz of steel. Now after 2-3 weeks of the movie being out, he said he saw quite a few of his smae customers back in there buying and having more stuff installed since they blew their motors tryin to run to big of a shot or not knowing how/when to spray.

Also a bunch of pure idiots have shown up at the tracks and street race s acting like complete morons and endangering others live thinking they can do what was done in the movie.

That car is an Arizona Wildcats civic.  I should hate it because I went to ASU, not U of A, but actually I don\'t care.  Keep in mind that when you live in Tucson, AZ and go to school at U of A, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO (but work on your car maybe).
