And say you see your car detonate you can always calm your shit, drive home, retune it or check your boost controller and try to prevent it from happening. The serve a purpose, just like a Tach or Speedometer.

Rice is when you see a N/A Honda running around with three bright blue guages in an a-pillar pod that do nothing. Such as oil temp, tans temp, water temp. (I can see them being useful in certain situations, but not in that one)

I'm pretty much a walking encyclopedia for my car, just as you are for yours. I know what it can do, and I know I have some evidence for what I say. If you don't believe me then prove me wrong, but you do the work.

And of course he didn't do 7 seconds on a "stock" engine. Of course it used the same design of the engine itself it was highly modified. I dind't say he used a "stock" engine. That was just a curious inquiry.

---

Even then, if you hate risking your engine so much why would you even boost it up to the point of detonation? This would eliminate the need for stupid gauges once again.

And no, rice is just about adding anything useless to your car. It really doesn't have to JUST be Hondas, even though those are the most commonly riced cars because they're so damn cheap.

And if you know what it can do and have evidence, it really shouldn't be hard to find the proof. You are the one that claimed your engine could achieve these numbers, you're the one who should show you're not bullshitting. If you ever have anything that you doubt about what I say, I will be happy to provide proof. And to be honest, have REAL evidence. Not just some guy on a random forum saying "OH YEAH 6 BOLT IS MUCH STRONGER."

And if it wasn't a stock engine, why did you even mention it? There is no reason to.

E: Also, why did you have to be in your face about your car so much and call my car a "failstang"? I didn't just randomly insult your car and call it a failtalon because I don't like it, that's just being a douchebag. This whole argument started about your car vs mine and somehow ended up at this. So once again, what does your car do 0-60? 1/4 mile?

Umm, I doubt he's intentionally boosting it to the point where it would run lean and cause detonation. He's just making sure he can tell if it is in the event a component isn't working right.

I'm guessing it's a light-hearted "post-your-car" thread and some people are taking it too seriously? Let's all be friends!

According to what he's saying, he is boosting it a lot, and he's saying THAT's the reason he needs the gauges.

All I can say was, it wasn't me who threw the first punch, I just keep it going until someone wins. This didn't have to be pages and pages of argument, you know.

E: And what's wrong with taking an argument seriously? It's not like in school when in debate class or something when people are arguing the others say "wow they're taking that seriously". Get real.

You've made some valid points. However, let me just clear up a couple things, alright?

One, I have absolutely no problems with taking an argument seriously. That's not what I meant. I mean that he insulted your car. Okay, fine. I just mean that maybe he didn't mean it that seriously. Shit, I said in a previous post that I wonder about people who drive white Fords. I didn't mean it seriously, it was a joke.

And yes, he's boosting it a lot. Could cause damage if done wrong. How do you tell if it has gone wrong? Gauges can tell a lot. Bottom line, Kalub wants more power. Is wanting more power out of a car useless?

I have no beef with either of you. I just thought maybe I could help cool what might just be a misunderstanding. Sorry. I'll back right out now.

He's called everyone else's Mustangs in this thread failstangs too, and the first time he replied after I posted he called my Mustang a failstang, saying that I have no style, etc, etc.

Yes, that was what resulted from the argument. But the point I presented to him is that gauges won't prevent it, they will only show you what is happening. And no, I do not mean wanting more power is useless.

Alright, alright. My point is just that the gauges show him shit's about to go bad, so HE can prevent damage. That's all. Sorry to make this worse.

nothing wrong with a bit of heated debate on the forums.

ya never know, yas just might learn something.

I want the componets to monitor my car so I can, ya know, try to prevent it from blowing up. The engine can take the heat, but when you start pushing things you want to be certain you're doing it right.

It's why I have a SAFC to monitor my fuel to air ratio, it's why I have a digital boost guage to monitor my forced air, it's why I have a EGT to monitor how how my engine is truely getting. Everything is there for a reason.

My car is chugged from the factory, the engine can acheive the numbers and it has been done. I wouldn't start blowing smoke up your ass if I wasn't 110% sure it was possible and already done.

And I don't like Mustangs because of this arguement right here, it seems everyone I talk to is just a bigot who thinks my little engine can't do shit. When in fact, my car was designed, built, engineered for Rally Racing.

I however do have respect for some people's car's, like my uncles. He has an older foxbody that he races, and not only does he respect my car, but he enjoys helping people. My dad has a built Pinto, and I helped him build it. My whole family is into racing. I know my shit.

However at this point all my numbers are purely benchracing numbers, since I have never dyno'd or track tested my car. But hey, 0-60 on a car from the 90's with 175K miles on it sounds good to me. It's respectable for sure.




End the end, I have no respect for your car. And I never will.

LOL. Don't try to put this on me. I asked for proof that your engine could achieve numbers like that, and you showed me an engine that's not yours doing it. All I say again is, I won't believe it until I see it, and you certainly haven't shown it.

Designed, built, and engineering for Rally Racing? Uh, only the engine.

And what, you think you're car is not eligible or something for a 0-60 run? Why? Because it's old? My car has 100k miles on it, does better than a brand new 97 GT did.

And no, you have no respect for my car because you just simply don't like it. Our arguments came AFTER you called everyone else's Mustangs failstangs and AFTER you called mine a failstang and said I have no style, etc. Just seems you're mad my car is faster than yours.

derpderpderp
i have 2 choices on which i will use for college
03 Accord, looks like dis:
