To me hears what i think about this. Looks over speed. Unless you wanna race ur car on the track why go all-out in engine mods? If you do youll wind up in my shoes with a huge *** ticket in your hand for racing. Plus if you go show ull grab some attention. Who cares if your car does the 1/4 mile in 12. The average man shouldn't waste his money doing such a thing.

 

uhhh.. speed never gets played out.
buddy club body kits do

 

I support u 100%. All that investment just to race down the highway and loose your licences.

 

Thats why you dont be a dumbbutt and take it to the track. Racing on public streets to prove your fast =

Looks and speedgets my vote

 

attention? i dont know about you..but i dont give a flyin ***** for what people think about my car. i fix up my car for ME, so attention isn't even apart of it.

but oh well, if YOU need attention to circle jerk your ego.. to you

 

Notice you are in the Type-R forum. We don't own family sedans. Our cars were specifically designed to be a performance variant and most of us track our cars in some form or another.

If you knew anything about Type-R's you would know that attention is the last thing we want.

 

Spend your money the way you want... after all this is America.

Oh, wait... you're a Canadian, sorry.


Anyway... for me... I choose driving fast. Do I need a $1000 header to drive fast? No. Do I need an appropriate place? Yes.

 

?????? So go out and APC your 89 Z-24 all to BLING BLING hell.

 

There has got to be a happy medium somewhere although if you own a Type R I guess speed/handling was more important to you otherwise wouldnt you have gone and bought an LS and saved the extra $$$ to be spent on looks???

That said there are alot of people out there that make me cringe by putting bigole heavy A$$ wheels on their ITR's and Fu(king up their suspension Geo by dumping without camber caster correcting etc...........I mean props to you if thats what you are into but I sold my civic Si wit big *** wheels and dumped etc etc to get into something quick ie my 00 ITR

 

Well I have best of both worlds gutted interior and fast car but IS300 grey paint on the outside with some JDM parts. Gets the looks and can woop on some *** at the same time. I think show is a wast of time to me why put all the money into a car you cant drive without worrying about braking a kit or chipping your paint or worse getting wrong attention and getting your car jacked.

But do as you will. either way it up to u what u want. But i like a functional car get out what u put in Speed and cornering is what I need and have

 

I'm slow...I'm a ricer.

Looks fast...sounds fast...moderately slow.

 

I think underrated99si said it best. Why not have both? I am more into going fast, but why not have a car that looks good. I could go with out the attention.

 

this man rurkster poorly reps the scene out here in canada.
Its all about performance if u ask me. If u want looks buy a buick and put chrome rims on it .

As long as the show aspects of your car don't affect the go then go for it, i figure if you got a type-r you already have the go aspect reasonably well covered and if you don't have the cash necessary to go ***** out w/ i/h/e and cams and stuff(why waste your money on mods w/ minor gains when you can just get a smsp system) a shift **** is a lot cheaper. -rob

 

A.

 

Why would a guy with a camaro come to this board and preach against making your car fast?


Mark... who shakes his head and is glad he doesn't live in Alberta

 

z-24 = cavalier z-28 =camaro

He has the cav.

 

Theres a balance.

All speed = 1990 mustang with a blown and stroked 351, with nitrous. Big tires in back, skinny in front, and a big belt buckle.

All show = Pick your favorite rice mobile with its "type-r" stickers and 4foot airplane wing, and 300lbs of unpainted body kit..

Happy medium = ITR

 

Yea, sorry man, I was thinking cav and typed cam.. Must be tired..

 

Problem is kids now days don't know what a cool car looks like. Whens the last time you saw a cool "modified" new car. I haven't seen one ever.

 

Agreed,

now heres an awesome looks And performance modded car:


thats Cool,,,

A.

 

whatever body kit, rims, lights, paint, tv's you have, noting looks better than having your hazards on infront of a LS1.

 

good points all

 

The ITR looks good the way it is and is plenty fast off the assembly line. No need for improvement in the looks or speed department .

 

matchgo , you need to invest in hooked on phonix, it's not LOOSE your license it is LOSE,
