Hmmm, Yankee and a Texan. Dumb and dumber.

Wow, that was a waste of a good 20 minutes. Made me laugh though. I can't imagine how those guys can seriously see themselves this way. I love how they retouched their picture to add the sparkles on their necklaces, watches, and rings. They have all this dough they don't know what to do with, but they end up with a free server supported by popups? Then they ADMIT that one of the dudes got beat up with a SHOPPING CART? What the freak??? Honestly, some kind of psychological problem. Then they dare say "Here we go fool, you ready? This is the ICS tour bus which is the tightest thing you have eva seen, and dont front like ya have Da bus rolls on 24 inch BBS momos under yokohama tires" This, being immediately under the picture obviously showing stock 16"-17" wheels...unreal...*shakes head*

Oh, yeah ice didn't do much to his ranger cause he spends it all on da hoez. Flame isn't into all the sound stuff cause he spends it all on speed. But of course, they make millions. They just Choose not to spend any money on their cars and instead drive stock (except the wheels) cars any normal high school kid would have. Oh yeah, that's right, the 16 year old kid spends all his money on gambling. Where? Unbelievable... It's kinda fun to make fun of them though. *Pokes another hole in their logic and smiles*

Ok, last one tonight for real:

When talking about their Firebird, I quote, "when we roll it out to the races we can smoke nearly anything, Vipers, Rustangs, Crapmaros, and list goes on." Evidently, he now has "twin greddy turbo's with 150 shot of NOS." Now, let me know if i'm way off base here, but it sure looks to me like a V6 Firebird. It's not even a Trans Am or a Formula. Brand new, that's a ~$18,000 car. Now I'm not a professional racer or anything, but I can probably guess what would happen putting a 150 shot of NOS and TWIN TURBOS (altogether, around $10k) on a stock V6 motor without at least another $10,000 worth of internal modifications. (Which still, incidentally, wouldn't beat a Viper) He's also getting 24's for his Eclipse as well. That's going to happen right after he cuts out the wheel wells of course.

Then, it would appear that the kid obviously has acne. But no, "Stop hatin, he aint got no type of pimplez suckaz. He said the lens had dust on it and he sometimes he attracts mosquitos dat be bitin, chumps...All the girls be rubbin us up and down so stop sending us oxy pictures and soap." Now which is it? A dusty lens, or the mosquitos? Oh, well if he said it had dust... If he can blow $20,000 on his car in a week, couldn't he spend a couple hundred on a new camera that doesn't have a dusty lens? Maybe he just didn't think of that though. Otherwise, what, does he just let those mosquitos suck on his face??? I guess he's really not that smart...he *still* hasn't gotten his GED. But he's a millionaire though.

Ok, that's enough out of me for tonight anyway. Sorry for the long posts, but DANG, this is so much fun

It WAS serious. The original group does not do that site, they took the original one down because it was being made fun of so much.

That was a couple years ago

Ok dude... This is simple... (at leat in my opinion)

Wheels... Go with BBS they keep that European Flare to your car and not many people actally have the good taste (or the money) to go buy them.

Tires... None on your list. Go with Michelin. I currently have the Pilot Sport A/S on my Porsche and they are sticky and surefooted. I live in the midwest and they are (as far as i know) the only all season directional sport tire. Not to mention a treadware rating of 400... Beat that. Also at leat years 24 hours of Le Mans The winning car in every class was wearing Michelin tires.... that says something.

Airflow.... Easy K&N and Borla

Brakes... Brembo Hands down the best there is

Suspension... Knoi affordable and reliable (plus adjustable)


Enjoy your ride

whose brakes are better than brembo's?

Alcon for one, http://www.alcon.co.uk/frameset.asp . Better calibers and better discs.

I'm thinking of getting their F-type calibers front, B-type in the rear. 355mm and 330mm discs. Of course you have to remember these are race calibers and not really intended on a street car.

sami - i wouldnt put race calipers on a street car, not unless they were rally calipers. there's no gravel or dirt on a racetrack, so they leave protection against those things out on race calipers. i mean, you could, but you'd drastically decrease the life of the caliper. IMO. rally calipers, tho, would be sweet.

Where did you get this info? What is missing from the race calibers? The reason why you wouldn't want race calibers on a street car is because they tend to not function well before they warm up. That and if you're removing ABS like I will, when they do function it will be very effective. Overkill for a street car but you have to remember deceleration is as important as accelleration. That makes braking power as important as horsepower. How far you want to go depends on what you're after.

oh, and i learned this a couple days ago. apparently, if you have drilled or slotted rotors, they have to be replaced when the pads are because they can't be ground level again. that could get expensive fast, especially if you use race-quality pads. or maybe the guy i talked to is retarded and you don't need to grind the discs when you replace the pads. anyone know?

Interesting. He didn't happen to tell you this on Apr.1?
