So I had the Jeep over at U-Haul today to fix a slight problem with the trailer lights, and I was talking to the guy who does their hitch installs. So he starts telling me about his CRX racecar with a B18C5 in it, that according to him, makes 600 - 700hp. Then he tells me that he stripped it out, and even with a 6 point roll cage, weighs in at 600lbs. I did my best not to laugh in his face, but I had to ask. "So what kind of times do you turn in it?" "6.2" Now THAT is some serious bullshit.

Whatever man you're just jealous that he's probably got 335 width hoosiers on it and will roll your sorry *** in H1 with it if he could get time away from his harem to go racing.

His name wasnt "scott" was it?

 

so, you don't believe me then huh?

....and this is the guy that did j00r hitch install?.....j00 might want to go over every single bolt connection...huhu...and make sure j00r breakaway box is connected to something other than the hitch...

 

You sure he did not mean that he was 6'2 and weighed 600lbs...?

 

that reminds me of the dude i was talkin to when i was buying some misc crap at stunnautozone. the dude was tellin me about his buddy who has the fastest rx7 on the east coast which was pushing twin 30 psi turbo's. i was like "damn, thats awesome" and wanting to leave so i could stop wasting away my life.

I did have a guy at the Quick Lube place tell me that my car was slow because it didn't have nitrous and VTEC. He said he had a Honda with a Vortech that ran 9's, and he wouldn't even bring it out unless there was more than 1500 dollars on the line. I asked him what chassis he was running, he said "Vortech, man!" He then proceeded to pull my car into the service lane by taching it up to 3 grand and dumping the clutch, jumping out of the car screaming "it's got a race clutch, yo! race clutch, yo!" dumbass. The manager was apologetic and said that would never happen again. As I told him... "you're right, it won't because I'm never coming back."

stunna) How does the car feel wit da intake?
me) fine.
stunna) I like Hondas man, but those akuuras, dey just suck.

*I turn to my friend who was helping me with the search with a blank stare on my face as stunna realizes that he's not welcome and leaves*

 

Sometimes there is a reason for BS...

When I was in college (the first time), our Renault Alliance Cup car was my commuter. It was covered with sponsor graphics and had all of the safety equipment so it always got a lot of attention. I stopped at an ice cream place in Tacoma, WA - coming home from a zoo date with an art school girl - and the 300th parking lot goober got out of his Dodge Charger to ask me how fast it was.

I had told the truth the previous 299 times - almost 90 mph at the end of the longest straight we raced on - and always got "yeah, sure dude," nudge-nudge, wink-wink, "Okay, fine - be a dick," and other variations of guys pissed because they thought I was lying to them...

...so I told this guy it topped out at 160.

"Righteous" (smiles, bobs head).

A friend of mine is a SRX7 racer. He just got tired of all the questions and now tells the 'necks that he takes it to the circle track, its got a turdblow and does 200+ on the straights.

 

Two months ago my paperboy tells me he likes my car and thinks it's cool. Then he tells me he's putting a B16 in a Dodge Daytona. I really didn't know what to say. I say we keep Honda engine model numbers secret to reduce this sort of stuff.

See, I have figured out a way around this....when I am asked, I tell people that I run out of gearing at about 140. This is technically true. The car would, if it had enough power, hit redline in fifth somewhere between 135 and 140. It doesn't have enough power, but they don't need to know that.
