Ya know....I could have been a complete ass/dick/****wad and put this in your journal thread sayin this is what your turbo kit may turn out to be.


But I didn't.

so im supposed to be grateful to you that you decided to act normal? i always thought it was just a part of life, and when I said "always trying to put a honda down" I didnt mean you, but rather all of the NASIOC members and everyone else who jumps on every opportunity to make fun of a honda, no matter what is done to it

Nasioc is not composed entirely of members who own Subarus, much like Honda-Tech where not everyone owns a Honda/Acura. But in every automotive sect, there will be the make that everyone looks down on because of the uninformed/ignorant/asshat majority of owners create the worse possible icons for it.

Back in the mid 90's, Subaru was referred to as the brand that gay people from vermont drove. Mostly because the uninformed masses weren't aware of the WRX in the rest of the world until it came here in 02.

Very true...I keep seeing all of thi stupid arguing, especially with youtube videos of import kids trash talking domestics, and vise versa. Everyone who does this with the exception of the real ricers shares a passion for cars, I dont understand why they cant all put their differences aside and stop trash talking each other's cars. Some people will never learn though, and its very true that Honda has some of the most riced out cars with the most asshat drivers on the face of the planet, unfortunately giving everyone a bad name, just like people from the middle east after 9/11...it seemed like we were just labeling people to be something they are not because of their origins and skintones, just like honda and other makes get discriminated against by those who dont own them....oh well what can you do

[xEJ20x]

Brands are almost like religions to some people. Not everyone will agree with another persons views. And IF the automotive community actually could get past the whole my X > your Y idealogy, then maybe the whole world peace thing isn't too much of a far fetched idea either.

VW lol. Maybe he was just doing that so that he cold have fun while blowing up a D15 before swaping for a B series? Who says he even cares about the car?

[grimm]

it's easy to take something out of context and poke fun at it. and You can't say that this post wasn't intended to poke fun at this car.

I agree i think it's a mock up. A buddy of mine used PVC to mock up his piping for his HMT S10 pickup.

[Broken5hift]

this is nothing compared to the kid on honda tech that couldnt figure out why his turbo wasnt spooling. even though he never connected the IC pipes from the turbo to the throttle body because he wanted to make sure the turbo worked first.

[JET02WRX]

WTF is all that straw and what looks like snow peas all around the engine!?!?
