http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/67310530.html
I especially liked the line..."I ignore them. Not worth my trouble. Im an adult."
-
well.... big blocks do make big holes in the air at high speed. it is what they were meant to do. They also do spectacular burnouts.
I don't get a lot of ricers wanting to race me in the old elky or the Healey... they kinda turn the other way. If they are 12 sec ricers I guess it would be a race but man... that would cause just too much danger and attention on a city street.. cars are very fast these days.
What really bothers me is the ones who want to run off with me on the freeway... I am in sixth gear at 70mph and 2000 rpm and these idiots want to race I let em get to about 90 and three or four car lengths in front of me then drop two gears and nail it.
soon as I pull past em I let off. If they can't figure it out then I don't care. It hurts my 120mph speedo to go too fast and I hate changing speedos or cables.
oh... the kid down the street started talking fake colored guy to me. I told him that I couldn't understand a word he was saying and that if he wanted something he was gonna hve to speak english.... I helped him adjust his door with my floor jack because he had hit a speed bump. He was very polite and spoke english... even called me sir once.

He's racist because he makes fun of their ignorant babbling baby talk?
I worked with who was highly intelligent. His excuse for speaking the way he did around his friends was "so they don't think I talk like a white guy...they have more respect for me if I don't talk like a white guy". This coming from a guy with a bachelors degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. His buddies were a bunch of street punks with no jobs.
-
He may not be racist.. but he certainly knows nothing about cars. There were so many mistakes in that story about the Civic it was rediculous.

you mean the 75hp stuff?
I have a ricer i think.
its a Nissan Terrano II
is that considered a ricer?

Sooo many huh? Point out some. Other than the 75HP which was probably just artistic licensce. I understand, if you're one of those ricerbois who bolts things on his car adds NOS and thinks hes fast, how this would stirke close to home.
Otherwise ther's really no explanation why you don't think it was a funny story.

Well for one he said Civic's don't have trunks? Last time I checked only the HB's and CRX's don't have trunks.. and even the 2nd gen CRX's (del Sol) have trunks. Then he claims the car he is talking about has a B18, but wants to do an Acura V-Tec swap. Well a B18 is a DOHC V-tech or non V-tech, (depending on series number) that makes a little over 160hp in lowest stock trim. And I don't have a ricer car. I have a 1998 S10-Vette. Aka an S-10 with an LS1/t-56 combo from a C5 vette in my truck. I hit 13.3@110.. but I had no traction. I have no weight over the rear wheels. Nice try.
edit: forgot to mention civic's don't come with B18's stock. 90+ Integra's did. And forgot to check my facts. B18A and B18B series only had 130 hp. Still a ways away from 75.

Who says that the kids were of a different race than the author?
Kids could have been wannabes.

You simply have to see this kids car to believe it. If your car looks retarded and its fast, cool. Then you can look a little ****ing special and get away with it. But this thing looks like it was dropped off at the special education shop class and built by retards, and it s not even quick.
I don't think this guy is racist....he was nice at first. Helped him out....then drew the line and the kid got disrespectfull.
It was a funny story to say the least.
Munkii did you ever stop to think that maybe the car was a hatch back?
-
since a honda civic does not have a trunk
Either he doesn't know the difference between "a honda civic" or "his honda civic" or the guy is an idiot.

maybe he just doesnt know about hondas....to me that's not a crime its something to brag about.....some of them don't have trunks
you can't say the guy doesnt know about CARS since a Honda Civic is A car not a bunch of them.

Point taken.. the man knows nothing about Honda Civic's. I don't know anything about ejection seats either. If I wrote an article talking about ejection seats like I knew everything when I obviously knew nothing it would probably bother you as well.

The post was funny and the guy nailed his points very well. The guy never claimed to be a Honda expert.
-
So Im a car enthusiast,
He seems to think he's a car enthusiast. I'm a car enthusiast. I don't know everything, but before I put anyone down, even if they are retarded I like to look up what they are doing. The guy gave no indication in his post what-so-ever that he was a car enthusiast. The only thing he did to even try and convince the reader he was a car enthusiast was say he owns an Olds 442. I like muscle car's, but they are only good in a straight line 90% of the time. Which is probably why a certain person here has both an Elky and a AH. ;)
Hell my truck isn't good for anything but roasting tires. I have 17x10's on the back and 17x9 in the front.. still light em up in 3rd gear.

No.. you're an 01 Cougar owner. Unless you bought a body kit, neon, and other assorted junk without any mind to performance.. then yes your a domestic ricer. :D

Agreed but I know alot of Car enthusiests who know ALOT about cars but absolutly hate the whole ricer fad and want to vomit when they hear a 4cyl engine hooked up to a trash can muffler. I think the post wasnt about knowledge of civics but making fun of them....you don't have to know much about them to make fun of a screwed up car.
side note: I happen to like honda civics. They tend to last quite a while, hold resale value well, and are one of the best cars out their with decent fuel economy.
When you add the spoilers, trash can mufflers and the like they look dumb.
-
And don't forget the decals..I hear they up your horsepower by 10% and lower your drag quite a bit too.
Only performance mods so far...and no never ever any neon.
Weapon-R Cold air intake
Flowmaster dual tip exhaust
Headers are next..but dang 500 bucks a set!
Some pics of it..rims are bvlack now though..same style.

*Tee hee* I bet it makes dramatic burnouts though. How much does an S-10 weigh?

I saw a video (think it was posted on this board) where a girl goes through a parking lot of a bunch of stupid guys with ricer cars trying to look cool. When a nice american car comes into the parking lot next to them and does donuts...big sexy donuts with tons of smoke and you can actually hear bass in the engine (not some mosquito sound).
Dude in the american car screeches out of the adjacent parking lot. All the ricer dudes are looking at him when the girl starts yelling, "Imports suck...imports suck....imports sucks"
Think the thread was titled "Good Girlfriend" or something like it.

Actually with the LS1 it actually weighs 20 or 30 pounds less. It's not a stock LS1 though. Headers/exhaust/intake. I think it might be cammed. I didn't check when I rebuilt it. It sounds pretty lobey. It weighs in around 2900lbls. I think they are just shy of 3000. I didn't know they where this light, but they are pretty cheap ;) .

Weighs almost as much as my 'vette and I can't keep the back tires on the ground. Considering going w/ an extra set of rims and mickey thompson drag radials. a friend of mine does this on his chevelle says he has better luck. Have you tried them?
I'm not surprised you lost some weight... LS1 aluminum block right?
I rebuilt my l98 block(just finishing actually although it will never pass emissions again) and will probably see weight loss over the iron heads is originally had on it(very anemic 230 HP on stock motor)
I love the sound of a nice lumpy cam. Your s10 sounds like fun.
Did your s10 have that 4.3 in it? That is a great motor, imho.
-
Actually it had the 2.2 with a 5 speed. I had to get a whole new drive train. got 3:73's in the back. The truck could prolly pull some 12.5's or so if I could hook up. I get mid to low 13's consitantly on street tires though with 2.2 60's because no traction. :mad: I shoulda went with a 4L60E tranny, but I like rowing the gears too much. :D
-
Steve... Iron head L98 out of a vette??(with only 230) Must be an 85 or 86 me thinks? What heads u running now? Also have u tried drag radials at all? Or you could alway go wit the zr-1s, those 17X11's are o' so sexy :)
-
Oh yea, munkii... How did u get that t-56 to work with your truck?? I though the vette trannys(transaxle) wouldn't work for a swap?? Always window shoppin for a t-56 so any info would be appreciated.
-
Technically the tranny is out of a WS6. I needed a custom aluminum driveshaft and a reinforced rear-end. I put disc brakes on it too. I wasted a lot of money... damn I love it though. ;)
-
Geary... you know your motors. Yup '86, early. Late model year 86's switched to aluminum heads but still only made a very weak 235 HP. The shop that put together my bottom end claims it will make 475 w/ my new set up(pre NOS). My buddy who is helping build said I should expect something more like 450 though. All I know is I've put a lot of loot into this motor. I had an ls6 but a friend of mine blew his up and begged me to sell him mine, knowing that I had mentioned rebuilding my l98.
I wanted AFR heads but they were 6-8 weeks out so I went w/ Dart heads. I am gonna put a 200 dual stage NOS kit on it(dunno if I'll ever use it) so I put in a steel crank and forged pistons... H beam rods... changed the cam etc. I even yanked the injection for an old fashioned demon carb. Edelbrock intake.... rpm performer.
I think I have to buy some kind of hub adapter to get 17's on my car. I've seen them advertised in Ecklers so I assume I have to have them. I'd love to have some big fat meats on the back though... ya 17'X11's. Think I need hub adapters?
I am thinking of buyin some old fashioned cragars and then putting Mickey T's on the back for track night. I think Munkii should try the same!
Munkii sounds like you started from scratch on the drive train.
lol.
Munkii, I bet the motor looks cool stuffed into that lil s10.. have a picture of the engine?

I don't have a digi cam, and my cell phones cam sucks for detail. Looks just like this. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31838&item=4538897307&rd=1) Except I have red intake/valve covers. instead of green.

very nice.... crowded heheheh

Ok, I Love my L98... but to give up an LS6:eek: (insert pimp slap here):) as for the weels there are different offsets for 84-87, and 88 and up but they make em for your car.. (Black is t3h pimp!) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7970855268&category=66483&sspagename=WDVW) As for your setup sounds killer, I would have stuck with the FI and upgraded but a carb will probably be awesome with that engine. Why did u stick with the stock l98 block though, with a 200 shot I think your deffinately pushing it with a 2 bolt block. Anyways, youll have to post some times for us once you get everything squared away!

-
Why did u stick with the stock l98 block though,
You know us 'vette guys... part numbers match, etc. Although after the block was decked, had to restamp the numbers in. Could have done that to any block. Had I thought of this I would have gone w/ another block. And you are right again... it's a 2 bolt block.
Tough to give up on the ls6 but it is a really good friend who has always helped me out. How do I know what offset I have? Is the offset different based on year only? I sure appreciate your help.
-
Geary, what do you think about that E bay bid????.... I know nothing about Sumitomo tires. I have firehawks now on my 16 inch rims.
-
Ok, heres what the tirerack has to say about those tires. (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Sumitomo&tireModel=HTR+Z) I don't think they look verry impressive, but I have no personal experience with that brand. The next step up in that big of a tire is pretty spendy. As for the price its the same as buying the wheels and tires seperate so you basically just get free mounting. You need 38mm front and 36 or 36.5mm rear offset from what the wheel listing say, but like i said you could find out for sure on a corvete forrum.
-
ASTAC,
Yea, you're a domestic ricer :)
I have a tall sitting height so I can't even fit into most cars that general size/shape. Saturns, the cougar, some hyundai, etc. My head hits the ceiling even with the seatback reclined. I don't fit into the rear seat of any car where the roofline slopes down over the rear seats, and I'm only around 5'11".
Keep that thing out of Calif... They'll bust ya for the window tint in a heartbeat.
-
well... I don't claim to be an expert on all cars but I know a little something about a few of em... I have built a lot of motors and drivetrains and did a bunch of swaps..
If there was anthing not accurate about the honda stuff I wouldn't know it, If you pointed out a toyota and told me it was a civic I wouldn't know if you were lying or not. I simply have no interest in em.
I have both an elky and a Healey... they handle differently but pull about the same g's. Do not believe that muscle cars can't handle. Hotchkiss and bilstein and fast ratio steering and big brakes and good tires make a mockery of that common myth. elkies have better weight distribution than a two door hardtop... I can plant your mug against the passenger window so hard in a turn that you will get a neck strain if you try to move back.
my buddy has done a couple of the s10 small block conversions... one on a pickup and one on a blazer s10
he bought both for a couple hundred bucks with blown up 4 or 6 bangers and dumped 350's in em... easy as hell. they make the conversion parts... he used a camaro doner last time and the guts from the five speed went right into the old blazer five speed case. At 300-3300 these are not flyweights... my elky for instance weighs 3700 even with an iron head big block. Healey about 2100 with a small block.
lazs
-
oh.. he has $1500 in the blazer.
he has the factory air and a hyperchip and the camaro guts in the five speed... he used a girdle support on the 10 bolt rear and it is holding up well. We went for a ride in it last thursday after we put a centerforce clutch in the elky and welded up all the clutch linkage I had bent and broke.

I get a hrd time about the tint here...and I'm almost too big for the car at 6'1"..but it sure is fun to drive.

I beat a ricer once. I was in my 1987 C10, only has a 305 (been saving up for a new throttle body and intake man). He was in some late 80s model honda that sounded like it had bad gas. The light turned green we went. hahaha, i dont think a 305 is that strong of an engine, but i won. Does anyone know how much hp and torque a 1987 C10 with a 305 does? I cant find that stuff anywhere.:(
-
Geary, I did a little more homework and found the AFS website where I can buy the wheels only. There are not many tires in that size for the rear... after doing a little research I'm leaning toward Eagle F1's.
I'm going to talk to AFS on Monday and see if they klnow what I should get as far as offsets.

Sounds awesome Steve, those are some nice meats 4 sure. Have you decided what finish you are going to go with for the wheels? Please post up some pics of the car once its all back together and working!

I tend to see a lot of this on post, most military bases have kids who have a little bit of money for the first time.
To each their own but if you put Pirelli's on a Jeep Wrangler (seen it) or 5K worth of ground effects on a Dodge Neon then you are an idiot IMHO. Ground effects on a Civic just add weight. I personally have never understood why kids put that much money into a car like that when they can get an Acura at around the same price. Plus the Acura won't lose value if you tune it some.
Some of the add ons and upgrades to some of these cars are somewhat impressive. Personally, I have always gone for understated. I have a 65 Fairlane HiPo Sport's Coupe (not an original K code if anyone knows what that is, basically made mine one though) as well as an 85 RX7 GSL-SE. In all honesty, the RX7 probably would take the Hipo in the 1/4 mile but after that it is all over.
I'm not sure what that makes me, a ricer wannabe or an old school guy. I guess I am just a guy who likes cars.

Geary, I'm gettin black.. I looked at them after you suggested them... really like them. Have always had chrome.. time for a change. I'll have it back together in about 6 weeks... I missed the best driving whether here with it in the shop already though :/
