Default Civic related.... but kinda OT

Ok, my town is full of civics, just like the next town.

They have races at the track on Saturday, but only once every 2 weeks.

Well lots of people have body kits, wings, altezzas, and all that great stuff

My car is completely stock, cause its an automatic, and im saving for a tranny swap (thats what I decided to do)

Most people around here, ie. local ricers, think I have insane amounts of money under my hood. They ask why I dont have rims or other things like that, and I tell them that Id rather spend my money on other things. Other things, like non-car related that I need, but they think naawss or a turbo.

Well A couple of weeks ago I drove out there to watch the races, there are some pretty quick cars out there, and I dont race the car cause there is no point in it, well the locals think I dont race because there is no competiton for me, as in my car is that fast.

Well driving out there I was being bored like usual, so I took some plastic tube thing I had in the garage and stuck it out my window by my mirror, I then sprayed some deodorant in the tube, and it had the effect like I was purging nitrous, even though the location looked weird. Well this stunned lots of people, and it gave me a good laugh.

To make this long story very short, Im going out there tonight, and I was thinking for some laughs again to try another idea to fool people.

Im not going to buy a fake BOV or an interfooler, just something I could pick up for cheap or make with stuff in the garage.

Im wondering if anyone has done this, or has any good ideas on something i could do that would get some laughs and fool people. I posted this in here cause I have a civic if that helps with the ideas any. My buddy has an eclipse thats so messed up, when he shifts it sounds like a BOV, so I was thinking if there was something I could remove to make some noise or something like that.

I know it sounds childish, but my town is boring and Im bored, and it will give me something to do.

Thanks in advance for the replies and help

is this an indirect way of saying "where can i get that BOV noise machine"

it cant be that boring that you gotta go out of your way to do things to your car to get a laugh.

Isn't this the "unofficial" definition of a ricer? "Well, atleast it looks fast"

So this is what happens when the local ricer stumbles across Honda Tech and wants ideas to make people think his car is fast.

Get a platic intercooler...then everyone will think you are cool!

what ae you saying? Jax FL. has a lot of great cars. Havnt you ever heard of Stage6 or sonik boom? Just because you and your friends are stupid and dont know about or ever seen a nice car dosnt mean your town sucks. Ya Jax is full of ricers like you but there is also many fast cars. you dont notice them because you are looking for carzy wings and kits.

Default um..

hey wait a second. he never said his car was fast. he also never said that he wants to make people know it's fast. he just wants to make them think it's fast and play a joke on them.
real rice is like putting **** on ur car to make it look fast and ricers want it to look like that.
this guy right here is just trying to look fast to make it a joke and get some laughs. that's pretty funny though (fake BOV.. i've heard of these things)
so it's not really rice.
but, i guess if you wanna do something funny like that. go ahead.

no flame for you trying to get a good laugh, but a definite flame on the people ACTUALLY believing that its nitrous.

HamsterBall had it right.

I never said I was the car was fast, and I was doing this to try to impress someone.

My car is slow, I know that, No I dont want a fake BOV, or a damn intercooler effect.

I said that I went to the races to watch, and I was screwing around with the nitrous thing, I didnt drive around doing it all night to try to trick people into thinking I had it.

Jax has very few fast cars, and most of them are domestics anyways. Stage6 is a parking lot full of riced out cars. A fast car isnt a civic with a body kit, a huge wing, and decals all over and big rims, but a b16 for max power. A b16 in a riced out civic is not fast, and the guy with the supra that works there always has some story about how the "turbo isnt working right"

I was doing this to get a laugh, does no one joke around here? It seems that way.

If no one had any ideas or anything like that, you could of just not replied at all.

And most of you who think im just making my car look fast, its a damn joke, Like I already stated, I know that the car is slow, its stock. I fooled around with the stupid nitrous thing, but it got me some laughs, for the guy who bought a fake BOV, I wouldnt go as far as to go out and buy one to joke around.

Damn you take things way to seriously, I ask a ? about getting some laughs, and all of you just assume that im looking to make my car tight yo, with a bov, and maybe a fake intercooler.

i gotta say, it's pretty funny. i wouldn't exactly say that i'm a ricer. but i have a WRX emblem on top of "CRX" on my center taillight. i also have Triton V8 badges on my front fenders off of my friend's f150. and at an import show (import face off 2003 in baton rouge) i had masking tape stickers all over my car. i also had a bucket filled with rice that said, "take some leave some, instant horsepower!!"

am i a ricer?
