Omit this from your profile:

"I keep up with NSX and i blow Boxters out of the water. So, oh yes, Ive street raced around the streets of Clearwater and Tampa and i still have yet to lose in an official race. Some say its the car...i say its the driver."
 
You say you blow Boxsters out of the water in races? How is that when 0-60 on the BASE boxster is 6.4sec when ours is 7.1? Unless he is a really bad driver dude..its not really possible especially since you said in your profile, you said your car is pretty stock.

Again the same problem with you saying you keep up with the NSX...the 0-60 on that ranges from 5.0-5.7secs, which is way out of our range without HEAVY modding.

This is not meant as a flame...but I think you are exaggerating a bit, or the other drivers were really bad drivers. And I KNOW people are gonna hate that aluminum wing (personally I don't think it looks too bad on your car), but then comes the "Type R" decal...man I'm not even gonna go there!! :3_frown:

you didnt think this was a good story grabber?
 
You dont REALLY drive that car do you? You know with that body kit all like...um...well... half ass and not fully on? You couldnt wait to get the rest of the kit and do a one shot install? I may smell RICE and BEANS cooking but I'm sure that your tib will be better than mine...

To be fair, 0-60 time does not really indicate how fast a car is. #1, it favors cars that get to 60 in 2nd gear even if they're slower, and #2 time to speed is not as accurate as time to distance. From a stop a front drive car isn't going to have the grip of a rear engine rear drive car. The Tib will never be fast 0-60 or to 60ft. The Boxster is not THAT fast anyway.

Now the NSX? ****ing please. The NSX has 110 bhp over the Tib. It will destroy a Tib.

And the Type-R sticker and mondo wing have to go.

did that spoiler come with the bag of rice or did you pay extra for it??? Type R??? WTF is that?? sorry dude, but i'm usually real open minded to people style choices but that car just makes most other Tiburon owners look bad. IMO

i like everything but the type R, cause thats a honda thing, and not to flame but R= rice, sorry.

but it looks like u have the wide body kit, so the wing will look better then

http://www.cardomain.com/member_pag...p://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/680000-680999/680892_15_full.jpg

and it is not that big, so i like it, ( if u r putting on the kit) it does not look good on the stock tib.

when i get my kit, i might get a smaller wing then that or just get the V6 one. good luck , and dont let them scare u, they just dont want to see a tib look ricey..... but do listen to them they do know wat looks best, ( on some things, lol)
 
so what do you have greddy on your car? hmmm you dont really drive around with the min bumper and side skirts right? you were just fitting them and forgot to take pics of the fenders and rear too right? I mean if you had a normal bumper on there id be nice (like the metaphor) but thats weird cuz the bumper needs the fenders to flow... oh nice Type R sticker.. you should change the Flying H badge to a white honda badge. I'd match better

Rice this and rice that... thats ok... you want to see me keep up with NSX, bring it on and u can watch, i have no problem showing it off, yes i DO street race here in tampa and clearwater, as far as 110 extra bhp thats fine, consider the fact then ive still burned away a 98 Cobra which has a stock V8 4.6L at 305hp/300tq @ 3400lbs, and he had a few mods to his. The only thing I saw after i slammed out his draft pushing up to 4th gear was him in my rear view from a 45 mph rolling start. Now the NSX, 2000 version stands alone at 290 hp/225tq weighing about 300 lbs LESS, so yea its going to be a little quicker, add the aerodynamics at high speed. THAT with a 3.2L V6. The car is only .6 faster than a 98 cobra in 0-60 times. SO you tell me... having the benefit of actually gone to racing school, actually being a skilled racer, you cant tell me that its not also the driver that made the difference. SO yea Freon, Boxter does suck. But im tellin you, either ya'll dont know how to drive or you spend entirely too much time in forums and less time driving on the track. Im not ignorant to the fact that, TRUE, a tiburon couldnt topple over huge HP engines and high torque numbers, But if you cant actually consume the fact that ive done what ive done, well then i guess you just cant see past your own personal experiences. Remember just because youve never seen a million dollars in front of you b4, doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Metaphorically speaking.

And thats kewl to anyone who wants to call my car rice, thats kewl i can deal with it, really i can but uhh, while im still gettin the attention around here in tampa/clearwater, i guess i can stand being called rice, because i can back it up with my driving. Just remember... you all started out fixing up whatever you could too even if it meant hearing **** for it just the same... To each thier own, i actually asked for "constructive criticism." But whatever, i aint mad at ya. you gotta start somewhere even if its low on the totem pole. I can take your slugs, im still winnin over here and gettin attention.

i guess thx for the "constructive" criticism

PRofec E-01used primarily for logging my rpms and shift times. Since i dont have my turbo yet, i cant really use it for boost but in due time. Rome wasnt built in a day. Yea i was only taking pictures to get an idea of how it would look. 5 of the 8 pieces were damaged during shipment so its going to cost more to do it, like i said, the picture is just to see what it looks like for now.
