Unless your ITR/Whatever is your beater.. who here likes their older beaters better than their new pos hondas?

-Dave, who likes both his beaters more than the pos honda.

 

I don't get harassed by ricers in the beater

But I miss the power and sound of VTEC

 

On the street, it's no contest...hatchcraps owN

Jason-
who likes drifting his 70hp pos

 

i love the rex......problem is, when i get in the new POS it feels blindingly fast in comparison. my beater is soon to have boost though, im sure a 10psi d series will be more fun

so i admit it, i love my beater!!!!

 

cx beater
itr track car

The car I drive everyday has no A/C and the interior consists of a dash, doorpanels, and two front seats. Nothing else.

The track car has cold A/C and full interior.

There's something wrong with me, but it sure is fun.

 

So take them out, like I did

 

:raises hand:

:dodges beer cans being thrown by the other we-todds:


Pat, who loves to threshold-brake his beater

 

Can't just yet, as I'd like to finish one more season in stock class for autox.

Then it's on.

 

Hell yeah, b00st + beater = ownz U!!!!!

We'll have to do some beater races, cause my '91 si is headed that way.....

I like driving my g/f's car. Its so much more quiet and smoother but my car is soo much more fun to drive on the freeway.

 

Too bad my beater can't make it up to compete with you guys.

I'd love to roll you guys.

Here's my "claimed" setup:
cx + d16z6 head swap + greddy turbo kit

Something like that...

 

Bring it on Sissy honduh boy!

-Dave, who's 88 beater drops over 200ft-lbs at the wheels... at 2500rpm..

 

bring it on!!!!

Alright, sounds like we need to set up BeaterWars 2002!

3 classes of hardcore beater racing:

1) Street Beater - 100whp or less, stock engine (no swaps), no power-adders (no turblow unless factory, no nitrous, etc)
2) Unlimited Beater - 100whp or more, any engine, any power-adder
3) Wife Beater - Dave's POS

 

Wouldn't class three be limited to F-bodies and mustangs?

-Dave, who only has 146 peak whp in his 207ft-lb imported beater.

 

I like my winter beater in the winter...

"Easy Does It" - 1989 Mazda 323

The most fun we had all winter was in Civic Sista's CRX with Blizzaks after watching some WRC replays and during a Wisconsin snow storm!!!

 

Unlimited Beater, eh?

It's on!!!

Who's down for Beater EXPO? Forget ITR EXPO, we'll all drive our beaters out to a racetrack and have at it.

Excuses like "I don't want to put too many miles on my car" or "I'm afraid it might get dirty because my car is a pansy, garage queen" are thrown out the window.

BEATER EXPO 2003, be there.

EDIT: And no, ITRs will not be allowed with us at this event. We don't want them holding us up in the straights... and in the turns.

Hahha I'm up for it.. now to decide which beater to bring.. which part of the country should we have beater expo at?

-Dave, who is going to register http://www.beaterexpo.com

 

Wife Beater class would be for any domestic beater (I thought you had a Conquest (technically import, but still ))


Pat, whose torque-monster wagon would 0wn Street Beater

 

the D15Z1 will beat down all sub 100hp sissies

Yack -who says "Bring it"

 

Just make sure to shoot flames when people get too close to you.

The street class would be the most hotly contested class, one mistake that causes you to lose momentum and you're out of it.

Reid, who is jumping the gun and planning to setup Rental Car EXPO if beater expo goes well...

 

ok, i'll use my 91 si for class#2... 2.0L + b00st

and for class#1, my '77 chevy cheyenne. v8 power baby!!!

.....and class #3, my fruit of the loom ribbed tank top t!

i had a 92 cx that was much more fun to drive in the rain and snow.
then i sold it, and saw it lowered(with painted interior,monster tact,fartcanmuffler,clear corners,indiglo dash, and someother crap he put on there). missed her since it was raped with stupidity. do not sell your hatch to riceboys, even if you call them friends.

 

At least if they're friends of yours you can slap them around 'til they learn.

I know it's hard, but the first step is getting them to give up their visors.

 

exactly, we have a bet going that he wont add any more rice until he gets a motor swap, i give him two weeks and the car will roll nozzle squirters. it pisses me off so much that i dont want to help him with his motor or car anymore. i feel bad for any stocklooking car that gets rolled by this 92 cx in the future.
