...Pretty sure Chaz was being sarcastic trying to show that it actually looks awesome. Some of the highest end cars have the CF/Paint look.

What valve setup are you running? Is it OEM size or +1mm? I'll be adding 89mm pistons + sleeves in the summer. My head is fully built right now but OEM size for valves. I'm wondering if I have to bump up. I'm not running a stroker crank though.

those cars are hideous... both of them. Throwing money at a car does not make it "clean" or a quality product.


this car has more money in it than your house does, I guess that makes it badass based on your logic.

Kaizen Tuning time attack evox with this wide body kit needs to stay in fast and the furious and not win overall time attack in 2012 like it did.....

lol bec going wider and not adding weight from paint is just dumb but i guess everything has to look stock bec stock clean cars go fast lol

LOL

sad part is people like you are what give imports a bad name. Keep bolting on as many parts as you can fit onto your car and thinking that looks good.


adding weight from paint, are you serious??? it would be more effective for the driver to take a **** before the race than to worry about weight savings from not painting carbon fiber panels. LOL


oh, and don't compare your car to a "time attack tuning champion" please, you're in the category with the red SLR

i was talking about the other two cars someone took time to find and post lol

so now weight from paint it takes roughly a gallon to paint two doors primer 3-5 layers of paint if you want red then 3 layers of clear so go to home depo and lay down with a gallon of paint and hold it over your face with one finger tell me how much it weighs then more less two gallons.

If that much weight didnt matter why take out the back seat at all weight less then a gallon of paint why take out the carpet weighs less then a gallon of paint do you think before you write or just dont know anything about cars just sit on this forum bec you have nothing better to do

your screen names iluvJDM but you dont love JDM body kits? so what JDM do you love

if so sorry to chaz just on this forum you get alot of flack on ****
specially if you dont look like stock evo driving around

since your already built i would say no
but depends on what turbo set up your running if your running a big stock frame (fp black or ef4) then i would say it would be worth while.

yep, you know me too well. I'm 16 and this is my first car. Just got an intake on it, hoping to break into the 600whp club! My car gets respect from guys who are strictly old school domestic fans, they hate imports with a passion. When you have taste, you can impress anyone. Do you think before you write or just dont know anything about my car and just sit on this forum bec you have nothing better to do

I'm done here, have fun with your pimped out ride, don't forget the neon underglow...

and to answer this question; I have been on forums since '03 and it all started with Honda-Tech and at that time "JDM" was very clean mods that originated around the CTR (oem honda civic type-r in Japan) and the mods were very clean and subtle. It was almost a thing where you have to know cars to really know that a lot of time and effort (and subsequently money) was put into that vehicle, but even people that didn't know any better still knew that that particular car looked really good. It has been my forum name since, even when I was in the truck scene (they didn't understand what JDM was and why it was my name on a Chevrolet forum), but regardless you can bring great taste to any car market, and many people on there thought my truck was perfect the way I had it. Many times, less = more when it comes to modding cars. Just because you can go into a magazine and order every part you see, doesn't mean you should.

and to answer the other part of the question; this is JDM, and no I don't think it's cool. It also has a bodykit, much like yours







all JDM cars, all ugly. Please don't generalize, thanks.
