RWD honda wins in my book.

 

hell this is great. im trying not to use anyones cars off this site and i just saw this other pic of the car above and what do i see but a little bitty stock D series. really now come on ppl.

 

I cant argue with that. I have always driven front wheel drive cars and i know that i better than most and i dont want to switch to RWD and have to learn how to drive again and be a average driver again.

 

I love RWD. I want one to start drifting. I want 240SX. S14 with a S15 front end.

 

alright heres my coupe, i built this car to be an autocross monster and a decent daily, car is no longer a daily but is still fun to drive when its nice lol


waiting to run

in action

 

I have tons of pictures of this car. This is the shops D1 car.

 

I'd take that guys beat up boosted sol over that sol w/ s2k tails.

driving that boosted sol would put a HUGE smile on my face everyday and I'm sure he gets lots of stares and thumbs up w/ that big *** fmic!!

Sol w/ s2k get's stares b/c ppl are like " WTF????"

 

Here are some more purpose built cars that my shop has produced.

#1 Fully built Sr20
#2 The old shop Drift car
#3 me and Ken Nomura
#4 My lady and another shot of the fd.
#5 Another s14 shot
ALL THESE CARS GET USED FOR WHAT THEY WERE BUILT FOR.

 

This is the exact reason I made this thread. This is why I like function>form. It`s about what you like, what you drive, and the reason your fender is rusted. You make money to spend on the motor. Not the body.

 

Read the OP for updated information.

 

i like the sounds of this... ask anyone on there that knows me (jdm si eg6 blah blah blah im gay bc my name is soo fakin long ftw, jdm em2, anyone on the deez nutz krew) they can vouch for the car

looks like hell but runs hard



ill give up my specs since im pullin the motor and goin w a dif set up

goal was to go high 12s w a dyno tune not street tune and slicks but pullin the motor and goin w something else. still all motor

 

Looks to be a decent car. Thats a car that could be fun all around. On the open roads or the twisty backroads. Keep it up and dont paint it!

 

This is a car that would make it into the squad. You care more about the motor than the way it looks.

 

Ok, I wanted to chime in on this because it has always been something that has irked me about both sides of the function>forum spectrum. You guys are building your cars for a purpose (autox, drag, drift, etc.) but who are you to say the "Parking lot Queens" were not purpose built as well??? I mean maybe the "event" that appealed to some of the people building the hard-park cars is just that, to hard-park or win shows. To me it's really idiotic to point the finger at any car and say hey, "that wasn't built for a reason" because if this was true the car would not exist. I appreciate all ends of this spectrum of car builders, Sure there are things I don't like about some of the cars that are built on this forum, but until I am giving him/her money out of my pocket to build a car I am not going to tell them what to do to THEIR car. Also, I believe someone made a statement about the amount of money some of these guys spend on their cars and how that amount of money should not be spent on Honda's. To me the logic of thinking behind that statement is very flawed. I know myself I would spend 50k on my car if I had that kind of money. I mean car's are my passion and the Honda make happens to be what appeals to me so why not. Most people that talk sh*t on car's with 50k invested in them are just hating cause they wish they had that kind of money.(not saying that's the case for whoever made the statement just saying in general) So before you go bashing on "parking lot queens" maybe you should think about the fact that the car could have been built for just that reason.

Well, best of luck with this thread gentleman I hope it works out for you!

 

With real parts function follows/mimics form. You can spend money and have quality parts that perform. You are limiting yourself to people that are broke that want to go fast. I have 1000s of dollars in Mugen parts, yet have tons of money in suspension and brakes and an all motor build. There are many of us that do both. By having a junk car with a junk motor and quoting Function over form just leads me to believe you can't afford "nice" parts.

 

Not to hate OP, but I'm pretty sure your idea of this function>form has been done 10 times too many . And you wanna make a squad out of this?? come on..when youre not even driving..? seriously now

 

That's good you have 1000's in Mugen parts and money in brakes, suspension, and motor. We don't want junk cars but we don't have to money or the dersire to always have a showcar ready car that can go 40-120 faster than anyone at your local wal-mart parking lot. We can afford the nice parts but our cars would be slow. I would rather have a car that goes fast rather than spending $1000 on some mugen part. It's about personal preference, if you don't like it then that's cool. I just wanna say that anyone can join, from a lambo to a Kia rio, if what they care about is being performance>looks. That is what this is about.


Starting some stuff with the EJ6 next week. Prob start the build in 2 weeks.

 

I guess you missed the entire point about what I said and about building cars.
Quality parts will provide function while having good form. You obviously are too young or too stupid to understand anything with thought put into it. No one here with a Lamborghini or a Kia rio is going to post in this thread or take it seriously.

 

kia rio lol sick

 

I can vouche for him, this car is so sick motor wise, i rode in it and couldn't believe how fast it was. for asian's they always makes fast cars

 

Alright so i geuss ill post my opinion, Lets see i would rather have a clean car that looks nice over having a fast car, why? Lets see my car (05 civic) d17 non vtec, ok so that means its slow right? yes its very slow. now a complete k24 swap all togther in my car is about 4k, now i know damn well i spend almost that into my car, IMO i don't want to go fast i had a h22 already and it ran 13.0 first time on the track, i was good with that time so i sold that and got my car now. so what im trying to get at is i would rather spend my money on making the apperance of the car look good then doin stuff to the motor because WE all know street racing gets you tickets and we all most of people do it, so i wouldn't want them tickets.

 

There's always drag strips, auto X, and drift events

 

yeah which you can do with a stock car and nice tires. that doesn't cost more than like 500 bucks. has nothing to do with function over form. Any idiot that can afford engine mods to make their car "faster" can buy nice coilovers and better tires for the same money. You're argument is worthless.

 

I geuss im not a idiot becuase my car is slow, But the thing is i can afford to make my car faster just don't want to.

 

this thread is win.

im all about function>form. although my car is stock performance wise lol. my supra was 3 different colors and i walked all over the retarded people in their vdubz and hard park cars back home

yay pos supra! i really miss rwd.....
