New Mod

I love this story since I know exactly what HuGo went trough with that JDM clown with the roundel hanging. I would have done the same and I just might hang a Honda emblem as well (when I get my DASC!). HuGo when is the next meet? By the way I'm showing the MINI at the DUB show this weekend.

Welcome back

I dont know why people still ask me for the meets. Let me clarify ONCE again...

Im at eagle rock every wednesday nights for the "euro" meet.
THE SOCAL TI MEET IS EVERY SECOND SATURDAY OF THE MONTH! unless there's an event and we must reschedule.

BTW, dude get the DASC already! That way we both can sport the Honda Emblem!!!!!!! on the ground grinding

I also have an Acura emblem, i dont know if i should hang that one too Nah, i actually like Acuras. Maybe not the drivers but the cars are kool.

[lkwd318ti]

dude...honestly, I would remove it...
It would just cause you more trouble.
I wouldn't be surprised if honda fanatics would key up your car...
and I know you know already, but Acuras are Hondas too ya know, so it's pretty much the same thing as if you were hanging the Acura emblem on your car.
FWD JDM sucks?
In the mid 90's the Honda Prelude for best handling car for under $30000, according to Car and Driver's "Best handling cars under $30k" article.

Let it go. It's not worth getting shot over. I've owned Hondas and they were great cars. I like the Bimmer more, but think about those Honda owners who have never driven a BMW and will probably never get to for that matter. They don't know any better, but you and I do. There's always gonna be a rivalry between JDM and DTM. Just like Ford and Chevy. Also keep in mind that you don't just drive any ol' Bimmer, you drive a Ti and most people don't even know they exist. Not to mention their handling ability, weight distribution, balance, overall capability and the fact that you're boosted! Let em laugh, think they're the shiet, whatever. They'll never understand and if by some chance they get behind the wheel of a Ti, they'll feel dumb that they even compared their car against it. Civics and Preludes are a dime a dozen, the only badge that really matters is the one on the right corner of your hatch.

BTW, I get it all the time from all sorts of cars. Stangs, Vettes, Ricers, Heck even other Bimmers. They see you rollin on sport suspension and low profile tires and they wanna race. Sure sometimes I'll give it a go if there's no one around. I usually tear them up in the corners, but I never bank on beating anyone on the freeway. I'm happy knowing that my car looks cooler and is more fun to drive than most of the other stuff out there.

Glad to be back!!! But technically I'm still out of SoCal territory, I just landed from Mexico yesterday and just flew to NorCal this morning. Going home saturday afternoon so that I can make the DUB show!!! Speaking of the DASC, didn't you mentioned to me that they were not producing any new kits due to high demand or backorders??? I beleive you said that they wilol not take any new order 'til the end of october? Let me know and see you soon!

[HuGo]

shot? HA! not me homie.

Anyway, of coarse im going to pull it out. Thats why i tied it with a shoe string . When ever i park my car or im away from my car, ill take it off. Of coarse i dont want to get keyed. I dont think they can key while in fast motion. My car is to shiny and waxed with new paint job to get keyed at all

I know theyre going to key my car. For the same reason why i didnt get the FKHONDA license plate

BTW, its not permanent. Its just for kicks.

Yes i know its the same BUT the cars with the A emblem are A LOT nicer than the cars with the H emblem. Get my drift?

I would get a Acura tsx but i wont get a Honda Accord.

They're the same car. Just not here.

[teetime4one]

ROTFL
i am in Colorado and have yet to see an emblem hanging from the rear-end of any car.
we have cowpokes here that hang these brightly colored set of Bulls-Balls from their trailer hitch. lol
i know that SoCal is ahead of the curve where customizing cars is involved.
but, isn't there also a high turnover of kids out West who'd love to shoot someone for their ride or what they put on it?
i'd error on the side of safety and let someone else hang (what will eventually get them hemmed up for) stuff off their rear-end.
and CoolJess hit it on the head...we drive ti's...they'll never get it!

Haha. But the NickG thing is for me, for my car, for me to abuse and enjoy

But as far as dyno goes, it'll be for everyone so it wont just be for me anymore since everyone will enjoy. So cough up 5 bucks

No but seriously i will dyno, once i figure out how i can actually get the 10lbs of boost that i should be having.

[M3_KILL3R]

check your belts! swap them out im pretty sure its from that!!!!!! and check your fueling you just might not be running rich enough

That was an interesting story- when I had my modified Dodge Neon I hated Honda's and all the Rice Boys who thought throwing a muffler on a 92hp civic with automatic, made it fast - and all that crap- but since then I have owned 2 Acura's and an Si. They have the best shifting tranny and clutch out there I think. (all Honda's) Bmw's are pretty nice too tho- I think VW is the worse!! They release sooo high. But hey Hugo.. wanna race.. hatch vs hatch? lol
