Today I was over at a friend's house and he had one of his friends over there. Anyway his friend was driving a 93 Ex and I was like nice car got anything done to it? He said yeah it is fast. So I proceeded to ask him what all he had done to it. And what came out of his mouth was by far the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I asked him what all he had done and he said and I quote. This is just my everyday driver I am building a TWIN TURBO VTEC at the house. I got this huge grin and proceeded to ask what tranny are you using. He then proceeded to tell me about a custom made 7 speed tranny that him and his dad were making by themselves. Now I am about to bust a gut, but I am trying not to laugh. So then I ask where he got all of his parts and the VTEC motor to build.......... AND I QUOTE I got all of my parts from the VTEC STORE. hahahahahahahahahahaha I busted out laughing and walked away when he said that is was gonna run a 7 second quarter. Just got a big kick out of it and thought you guys might like it too.

A friend of my girlfriend was going to try and buy a Saleen Mustang.

Because she liked the Saleen body kits.



She didn't even have a clue about the extra performance work done to them...

ive heard alot of funny car related things but i really liked it when a kid came into the shop and asked me if i could get jdm stuff cheap. thats not the funny part, what he said next was. he says "well i heard they were blowing all their stuff out because theyre going out of business". so i said "whos going out of business?". he reply's with the greatest answer ever, "that company, JDM".

What extra performance? They hardly have anything else to justify the pricetag. In fact, a stock GT might even be faster since it doesn't have all that extra heavy crap on it!

Not busting your *****, just sayin'....

vtec store.. hah

Honda-Tech Balla

GUys..forget about hondtech, we can go to the VTEC store and learn how to build 7 speed trannys and run 9 second 1320's with bi turbo..thats the **** right there

97SactoLS

On a serious note about the whole bi-turbo issue...

Wouldn't you get decent results by putting 2 different sized turbos in. If you had a small light turbo that would spool quick and then a larger one that would take longer to spool up but would own in the top end once that little guys starts dying off??? Would this even be feasable/worth it or would you just try to find a turbo with a more balanced output/sppol up to better fit your application. I thought I had heard of a car that had this done before (not a honda).

Don't flame me Im just askin' (plus I know jack-squat about turbo set ups)

deftones0817

not to be dumb but one time this punk *** down the road who owns a 1999 saleen sc (there are actually 2 versions a sc and a non FI) he pulled up at the light next to me and started reving on my poor little 93 civic ex (stock everything) and I was like **** I might as well be stupid and see if I can beat him (knowing i can't) well i pulled out and he stalled....he was gay and still is. But now I told him im going hybrid he doesn't want to race me when I finish. Oh well...i still don't think I would beat him though (if he could drive worth a damn).

DEF

sorry i dont right paragraphs that make much sense.

btw check out my 7 speed tranny

dumbest thing? I was at mission Raceway and gabbing with some guy that owned a shop ion Washington. Guy tells me last month, a kid called his shop and asked about exhaust systems.

Sounds normal right? well, this kid wanted a Motec Exhaust system.
