Okay...fair enough. But, how many Civic EXs are there out there all decked out with speed parts...and I'll give you three guesses on who's faster stock.

I'm not listening, lalalalalala, because you are talking about matrix's!!

No, just kidding. The Civic EX's out there are only decked out because then the drivers can put type R stickers on them, and that sounds a lot better than Daihatsu Super Duper Racing. Ahh, rice.

Civic's are fixed up because there dirt cheap and have many parts available for them, unlike the matrix (well 15,000 is kinda cheap) which is fairly new and has no where near as many brands that hold parts for that car.

I'm too lazy to put a picture but my fave import (and fave overall car) is a Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo LM '99. That is one sweet car...have it painted black and you got yourself a RACIN' machine....

 

[troy]

are you sure your not talking about the FTO?

 

[KosmikFool]

Either.

Some people just don't understand...like my wife, who refuses to let me get gold P1s...

I think the gold rims are a trademark to the subaru. I personally never liked the look to much, but i like the car...nice turbo. How much do "gold P1's" cost, and what size are they?

Well, depends on where you get them. Tire Rack usually has them on sale in 17x7 for $269 or so. They look exactly (and in fact are a heavier, consumer version of) the wheels on the rally car.

Well, this is an FTO but....

[KosmikFool]

What a way of words you have....

 

[-Fred-]

hehe... this is the Montreal Subaru club's president's car... very, very in person...

WRX engine, STi suspension, pumps out about 400hp, IIRC...

 

[KosmikFool]

Dear God...that is sweet.

whats up with having "Hella" wrtten on the headlight? Does the back one say "Good" or something like that?

 

[-Fred-]

Hella's a light company, the WRC cars had these stickers on the corner lenses like that...

nope! it's a base model Impreza coupe with a lot of work into it. I don't know the exact specs, but everything was changed to make it look like a 22B, even the fenders. and the stickers mimic the WRC car, obviously

crap, wrong pic... you get the idea anyway

And your wife won't let you get them? That sucks...

Here's a site (http://www.nsxfiles.com/stories) about two guys who race their cars at regional events, and their wifes are just pure evil! They decided that because their husbands have such expensive hobbies they had to (over)compensate the expenses they make each month through buying jewelry and clothes! Hilarious!

 

[AltF8]

Yeah, it's that whole "you bought a twenty-seven thousand dollar car, you're not throwing another two thousand in to wheels and tires when you already have wheels and tires" thing.

 

[AltF8]

Oh, and the "you're not getting gold wheels on my half of the car" thing too.

 

[-Fred-]

don't know... every WRX, or Impreza for that matter, that i've seen lately had these wheels, or close reproductions (Rota Tarmacs) They look good, for sure, but everyone has them! and they're not that light...

your car's blue, right? how about these? :

 

[-Fred-]

damn! wrong pic again.

here's the correct one...

 

[AltF8]

Rays...mmmm...

Anywho, the P1s are not that heavy. 16.5 lbs or so for 17x7s last I knew. I'll find out for sure.

 

[AltF8]

Ack, sorry. 19.5 for 17s. Stock wheels are 16.5.

I was thinking of the Superleggerra, at 15 lbs. Lots less people have those, and their cheaper...perhaps I should get those instead.
