Alright, so I have been out of the honda game for a bit but as soon as spring rolls around im selling this POS mazdaspeed6 and getting my Si out of storage.

So it seems every magazine I open up or picture I look at I notice the rear portion of peoples hoods are all sticking up about an inch or so? I never saw this a few years ago and now its everywhere. What gives!?!

 

Basically the new ricer trend.

People "prop" the hood by buying longer bolts and stuffing a bunch of washers between the bracket and the hood.

It can be functional, but it is usually done for "looks".

 

Yea I do it. gtfo newb.

 

Geez, and here I thought a mass quantity of **** poor fitting ebay hoods flooded the market!

 

That started probably 12 years ago.

 

No ****? Never noticed it before. Seems like every car I look at is jockin it now.

 

lol ur on crack son, this trend has been around for decades.

 

On hondas? Your on crack son..

The op has never even seen this trend, but I'm the one on crack LOL. Think before you type son.

 

Welcome to H-T!!!

 

THANKS! LOL!

 

you didn't specify you were talking about hondas only mang

 

This is honda-tech. I doubt he was talking about hotrod guys doing it.

 

some of the hood propping can be to fit a certain motor with proper hood clearance and some maybe for show.

 

It would be awesome if this year we stop calling people noob and start being nice to people in our community. Stop all the hating just because someone asked a question that you know the answer too. People only learn by asking questions.

Pretty sure he was joking, he said he does it himself.

 

this trend started on air cooled VWs in the late 60s, for obvious reasons. (they run hot)

pretty much everything started on aircooled VWs from low offsets, low ride heights, wire tucks, engine swaps, shaved anything... the list goes on, but anytime you ask "where did this start" (in the import scene) it will always lead to these things.

even "herbie's" hood was propped.

 

The only thing I want to know is, WTF DOES MANG MEAN? How the hell do you even pronounce that?

Like thang? dang? and MANG? WTF is a MANG?

Is this a cool thing to call someone, these days?

A mang?

 

it's like man, dude, dawg, etc., I remember mang when I was in high school 10 years ago in the Houston and all over the south, but recently noticed people in Cali using the term also

EDIT: it's actually pronounced mayng in the south

 

we have a lot less accent then one would assume.

mang.

 

mang is just making fun of how mexicans say "man"... thats all. its the same as ending a sentence in "holmes" or "ese".

was made popular by "cheech & chong" in "up in smoke". probably before most of you were born.

 

this guy really knows his stuff

 

lol calm down dude its called slang

 

Winner

 

hey, why did they take the theif tag out from under your SN? what would be really great is if people would stop buying and dealing in stolen parts, so the theives would have no reason to steal hondas anymore.
