I remember the civic episode when they changed the clutch and they disconnected the tranny and left it fall off the the engine about 2 feet to the ground. ouch. the whole powerblock sucks now, the Trucks guy is gone and all the other shows either have a mustang,camaro, or charger on. their shops r way to clean for me.

I think it would have gone better if they didnt use the civic to test out the import audience, most people that dont own a civic, hate it. If they picked anything else, toyota, mitsu, nissan, mazda, etc. it prolly would have gone better.

Any of you guys remember Super 2nr TV. I think that was on the same channel. It was super street's little show with those weird German twins. So I hope in the future they will get a new better show for guys like use. Unless you have speed channel, then your set. You get red line TV, and those other like 3 or 4 shows I can't remember the name of.... y can't I think of them!
BTW: sorry if this came

oh yeah, what is the show where 2 teams each get an import, and they have to upgrade the looks, engine, and suspension in a certain amount of time? I remember they did one with a skyline and an R32 or something. Thats kind of a tuner show and its still on i think.

I voted they will always be oldskool. Reason why? Because Muscle heads do not have enough sense to know when they are not being cared about nor watched. They will live andbe cancelled with their Camaro's and Mustang's .

I say screw them. If they are not smart enough to realize the potential in creating a monster thru a Supra , EVO , Or STi then they should be cancelled. We need to get rid of that type of show on TV anyway. all it does is provoke rednecks into beleiving that those cars are the only things that make power.

Thats prolly the reason they feel the way they do about those cars is because no one has ever showed them what an IRON block FOur banger can do under 30 pounds of pressure

There was a show called Street Tuner Challenge, maybe thats what you thinking of. It had a Skyline, Jetta(lame) and a Cobalt(lamer). Contest was based on power, looks and racing(timed lap). That show was alright, it was cool to watch the Skyline get built up, the Cobalt got turned in to a full race car(they had Chevy backing them, unlimited resources), and the Jetta was just boring, it was automatic, slow, no point.

Now that I think about it, I think there was a show where they would get a car, 2 teams, and have to build it up. I can't really remember it, not even any of the cars on it. Maybe a 240sx in one of the episodes.

Any one seen this show, they did an Evo, http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/shows_..._17836,00.html

i would definetly like see an evo on it, but most the car shows on spike and tlc only show american muscle. if only they would think of the ratings they would have if they had some imports on their once and a while.
