How do you deal with the ridicule of being a ricer

It doesn't matter if I win from an inch or a mile, winnings winning!




A matter of fact, I actually lost to like a 5th gen civic ex, OMG the mother f**ker blew my doors off!

it probably had a 1500lb weight advantage! you should have just used your AWD to run it over

So me and my buddy were tuning his gsx yesterday. He had just got a custom intake manifold made. We were on 29psi and full throttle, when he let off the gas we heard a pop(resembling a gunshot). He tapped the trottle and it sounded like it was a massive exhaust leak. the A/F gauge and boost gauge wasnt reading. We pulled over to find out that the intake manifold had blew up, literally. The whole bottom plate of it was blown completely off. the only thing holding it up was the break booster line.

damn. maybe i should go inspect the welds on my manifold, they could go at any minute!

i wonder where you can buy the sensor that knows when your manifold is going to blow

 

[nicoyita1]

haha this thread went from fail to win....

 

[toneekay]

I can make you a sensor to tell you that your manifold is about to blow; just let me know...

I have a 98 hatchback, and my friends always make fun of me for putting a spoon spoiler on and getting a carbon fiber hood. They think that anynone that mods his civic is a ricer, and I don't know what to say to make them stop. Any Suggestions?

Post Pics. I can't believe this thread went so long w/o pics.

You probably are a ricer?! it's not only your car; it's your attitude & the way you drive.

( They think that anynone that mods his civic is a ricer, and I don't know what to say to make them stop. )
- You answered your own question. They think that anyone that mods a civic is a ricer. Your friends don't know the definition of rice/ricer lol

 

[hooked_on4]

ricers are those who take this thread seriously

 

[Billy.]

Pfft.... I can make one that will tell you when anything will blow... including your load

As soon as I read this, I just had to revive this thread from the dead. There's no way I was letting it end on that note.

eBay. They got some good s**t on there.

EDIT: Damn, I was right. When this thing passes that tiny little red line at 40... boom.
