damn, I only knew the meaning of JDM. Guess the fact that I'm naturally aspirated and don't know about turbos makes me a ricer instead of an enthusiast. Guess that means I can admit it now, and go get that wing, and the carbon fiber mirrors like you have. Those will make me faster, right? Carbon fiber=fast. That point wasn't made in the first movie, hopefully it will be in the second so us non-enthusiasts will get a clue. JDM yo!

 

Who the fuck cares what the best exhaust available to the public in Japan is? Thats purely your opinion and not based on any fact.

 

he must have a small penis

 

I dont know any of that, i must be a novice. I guess working on engines all my life, setting up race suspensions, briefly working on an f1 go kart, assisting a top fuel crew and building my own car from scratch count for nothing

 

hahaha, wow ... I had no idea that this many people don't know that much about the import scene.

I agree, my car is even more ricey than I would ever want it to be, but when your company caters to a large group of import enthusiasts which normally crave attention, then you give yourself a moving billboard. I own a sign company and do vehicle graphics as well, so of course I'm going to put graphics on my car and make it stand out as much as I can, that's the whole point to advertising. If I had my way I'd be driving a very stock looking 93 civic running low 10's, but then again that wouldn't promote my graphics business.

I'm just shocked that for as many import enthusiats that claim to be in VA Beach, only a small portion understand the sport/hobby and where it originated from.

The #1 Japanese exhaust is Fujitsubo ... sorry, I guess I get head from my mom.

 

You've worked on engines all your life and don't know what a Garrett T3/T4 hybrid is .... don't touch my car, that's basic knowledge.

 

Sorry all motor v8's are my thing, ill try to deal with turbos more often. I know of the t3/4 turbo, just guessing i would say that you use a t3 housing with the t4 compressor wheel.

 

Just make sure what I'm saying ... there is a difference between a mechanic, a ricer, a hobbyist, and an actual import enthusiast.

Don't get all bent outta shape if you think you're being called a ricer even though you can rip apart a B18 and put it back together. If so, I'd consider you a great mechanic. But a mechanic does not have to be an import enthusiast.

I'm good friends with Dwight at Auto Solution. He's 35 or so and I consider him to be a master import mechanic, but does he know that Takata only makes kelly green harnesses, heck no. Could he run circles around me when talking engine blueprinting, heck ya. I'm not a master mechanic, just like anyone that can tune their fuel management system isn't necesarily a ricer because they don't about the JGTC circuit.

 

By your description i am either a novice or a ricer.

 

Exactly, you are far from a novice or ricer, and I never meant to put anyone in that category. See, talking about Domsetic cars ... all I know is I don't want one ... and nothing else, I know nothing about domestics.

But we all know a ricer when we see one, when they have no clue about anything dealing with the import scene. As I said before, a 88 Grand Prix with chrome hub caps, a big APC sticker and LED washer fluid sprayers.
