Default annoyance with the popular "tuners"

is anyone else as annoyed as I am with some of the japanese cars that are tuned by....just about everyone?

my house, is the victim of noise polution with these little fart machines that are going 20mph and do something like "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

different folks, different strokes i know...but still...honda is the most popular brand of cars to tune....and there must be a million of these buggers out in san diego right now which only have a crappy muffler that make em sound like a damn weed whacker.

not only that, but most of those would still run 16s or 17s on the quarter...and a damn Nissan Titan would spank that....hell my 2.0 has beaten some of those...even though im no tuner.

its just annoying, because thats all you see out there. creating noise polution, and running shitty, looking shitty, as popular as they are.

anyone with me?

LOL...I am totally with you. In fact, I put the resonator BACK into my MKIII Golf after realizing I bought the vehicle without it. Couldn't figure out why it was making so much bass for such a little engine (plus it was annoying as H@ll).

I bought a small car, I expect it to SOUND like a small car. I've even owned BMW's in the past...whisper quiet, but even while stock, could still smoke a ricer.

Agree 110%.

Run fast, run quitely.

On my '82 Scirocco when she was new all you could hear from inside was the whir of the timing belt.

On my '00 Jetta 1.8T 102K miles all you can still hear from inside is a very gentle purr; until just about approaching 4K RPM... then she starts to growl, but not too loud.

Rice burners are just Budweisers waiting to be canned.

Here's a few gems from a "you might be a ricer..." website: You Might Be A Ricer If


*You've spent more on graphics and decals than you have in gas, for the whole year
*You sound like you're going 90, but you're creeping past 25
*You upgraded to the "big bore" 2 inch exhaust
*You lose 2 mpg by installing a body kit
*Your wing is so large that if you go faster than 65, your bumper drags
*You think "displacement" is something that happens to homeless people
*Yugo's give you a run for the money
*You continuously run red lights because they are invisible thru your red window tint
*15's are considered HUGE rims
*You can reach back and defrost the rear window by hand
*You will race anyone, anytime, and already know that you will lose
*You think Moby is one of the greatest composers of our time
*You spend all your money pimping it out because spending money to make it faster is a waste
*Your little sister is the only one impressed with your car
*When you win a race, you don't really win, it's just that the other guy felt soooo sorry for you
*You think your mom's Corolla is fast
*The cross section of your exhaust tip is bigger than the contact patch of your tires
*Your aftermarket tach is bigger than your fist
*You bought the big ass tach to try to scare off the fast cars
*But all it does is let people know how hard you have to push it to exceed the legal speed limit
*You rev on school busses
*Hell, you rev on people in electric wheelchairs
*You buy and install custom rims a pair at a time
*YOU REALIZE THAT ALL OF THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND YOU STILL THINK YOU'RE COOL!!!
*You've entered a 12 step program called "How to come to terms with your limitations"
*The bill of your hat gets caught when you roll the window up
*You really want to kick my ass right now
*You cut 2" holes in your rear bumper and don't know what they're for
*You cut 2" holes in your rear bumper and DO know what they're for
*You go to the auto paint store and pick out the most retina burning color you can find
*You buy race gas to drop you from 17.02 to 16.9 in the quarter, and then tell all your friends how fast you went
*You add a second battery to power all the neon, and the mini disco ball
*You add a wing on TOP of your car, 'cause wagons need down force too
*You've ever painted bare, raw fiberglass black and said "Look! It's just like carbon fiber!"
*You get pimped out props from the mini truck crowd
*You still only get dates from high school girls
*You actually own a pair of light up glasses from Checker Auto
*When you install your super phat wing, you put the pointy ends up
*You purchase and install a body kit, one piece at a time
*You saw the "Rice Boy" magazine in the back of Sport Compact, and inquired about a subscription
*Your brother is pissed cause you stole the muffler off his dirt bike (it was a direct fit!)
*Your dad is worried cause you bought a car with less displacement than his lawnmower

It's pretty bad where I live...we have what's called the "Integra train" where about 10-15 integras with some civics mixed it roar up JFK at what sounds like 100, but theyre actually holding up traffic in a 35 mph zone. It's pretty sad what some of these people do to their cars....

You should call him an idiot for putting a wing on a car with FWD, let him know he succesfully killed 20 mph off his top speed.
