JDM Coupe Birth To Death...

I didn't call it stock either. I'd just prefer to do other things before nitrous. To me nitrous is a shortcut to horsepower. That's fine and all, but I just don't like the idea of nitrous anyway.Rand0m said:
I'd just prefer a motor swap over nitrous anyday.
We're just different. i'd rather not spend any money on my Y8 save for maybe oil changes.
nitrous is NO MORE A SHORTCUT than any other power adder, racing fuel, or tune.. it is a part that creates power.. i find having the path ive chosen minimized to being called a "shortcut" somewhat offensive.. but hey.. you are entitled to your opinions even if i do not agree with it...NOFX said:
great thing about nitrous.. it will transfer over to whatever route you pick up in the future (swap turbo etc...) nitrous is EXTREMELY versatile.. not trying to convince you or anything.. just simply pointing out things that maybe you are nto aware of...NOFX said:

like the exterior, just dont like the interior with all the gauges. other then that our cars could be brothers by the way they look
I'm aware of it. As I told you over IM though, it's just a preference. I don't prefer nitrous. Nothing against you.oc_civic said:
This is one of the reasons I didn't originally post in this thread. Your car just is not a favorite of mine nor do I see anything constructive I can say about it to you. You have what you want and that's great for you. I just don't like it. That shouldn't mean anything and you told me it doesn't mean anything to you. Next time I won't post in a thread unless I am otherwise compelled to.
I'm sorry if I came off as offensive in any of this, but also, as I told you, I was not trying to be offensive. I just posted my opinion on it as you asked.
hmm a big NOS TOK! um.. IMO i dont like NOS as to me it seems like a short burst of power but sayin that i dont know ANYTHING about NOS lol. Right now im going for the whole NA thing which includes bein NOS-LESS lol! But props for installin some yo!
you have no idea what you are talking aboutRockintheEKoupe said:
some people dont.. like you said its all up to the person.. i sent them to autometer and had them redo the bezels in black they look MUCH better..silvertuner98 said:
like i told you several times.. i dont care what you prefer if your answer was "i dont like nitrous because i want to build a "road race" style car and therefore nitrous would be useless to me" that would make sense.. it would at least be logical.. but when you say "i dont like nitrous to be used till after the motor is built" that just makes no sense to me (or some of the others who have posted) its just silly.. i was not bashing your opinion on tuning as you are entitled to it.. i was just confused as to your reasoning.. which still doesnt really make sense to me..NOFX said:
i never even asked you to post.. i was simply questioning why you had never.. i mean dotn take this the wrong way.. but when people are friendly they generally comment positively on the progress of each others cars.. i see people post things that i would never DREAM of doing.. and sure i could call them on it and i do at times.. but i generally just make a supportive post trust me.. ive lost NO sleep over yoru comments in this thread or aim.. your negativity has in no way fazed me.. surprised me a little? maybe.. but not bothered me one bit.. they day i start caring what anyone thinks of my car will be the day i stop working on it.. i only asked you to justify opinions which to mean sounded illogical.. like the nitrous comment.. but really you dont need to justify anything more to me and you can stop feeling the need to reply to the thread at all.. im sorry you mistook me saying "wow im surprised yo never posted in my thread.. i always post in you and erans" with what i DIDNT say "amy amy please post in my thread.. im sad you havent said you like my car"NOFX said:
so really just let it go.. its NOT a big enough deal to keep replying.. i NEVER asked you to post in my thread.. i only questioned why you had not since i always post in yours or erans.. it was REALLY not a big deal at all the only thing IM sorry about is that this conversation that should have ended POSTS ago is still going.. you really dont need to reply..NOFX said:
havent read it yet...but def will.. lol nitrous is good s**t..91SIHatch said:
it is short bursts of power.. when you want them.. that is one of the main advantages.. the power is there when and only when i want it... and since straight line speed was what i was initially interested in it was definately the best choice for my application..mint said:
are there any cars on this site that you do like? just curious, as i cant remember seeing someone post a car then and then see you post about how you like it....not trying to argue, at all, maybe your just really, REALLY pickyNOFX said:
thats the most absurd thing ive ever heard....takata's, killing someone in an accident.....RockintheEKoupe said:
in all fairness you probably missed my post but i asked her NOT to reply.. so maybe she will answer you via PM..Rand0m said:are there any cars on this site that you do like? just curious, as i cant remember seeing someone post a car then and then see you post about how you like it....not trying to argue, at all, maybe your just really, REALLY picky

oooops...well then i hope nobody miscontrues this as me trying to start trouble.....freakin curiosity and the catoc_civic said:in all fairness you probably missed my post but i asked her NOT to reply.. so maybe she will answer you via PM..
as long as there is a cage or roll bar with a main hoop to prevent roof cave in i completely agree... properly mounted harness system carrying sfi, fia, etc.. approval is in fact safer..42Steps said:And harnesses are safer then a normal seatbelt + airbag...
I'm not a fan of airbags....
i have to give you props on your car 
it looks bad ass. love the seats cant wait to get mine. i posted my coupe yesterday they have a lot in common
keep up the good work build it the way you like it.
