A friend's step-brother calls me ricer, because I drive a stock CRX. He has been through a few cars, his last one a corolla that he put the JDM tyte decals on it, was working on upgrading the differential and couldn't get it to work so sold it. Now has a camo painted 300zx and "drifts" on the weekends. I'm the ricer

I see them daily on the streets, and it saddens me my CRX does not have the power to embarrass them.

LOL, sig worthy! :-) Don't we all...

Some actually drive their cars at high speed though, not all wings are dysfunctional. Just most.

They just feel like they have to prove something. They have *SOME* car knowledge or wrenching abilities and now they invented the internal combustion engine. The only way to win is to ignore them... they will only make you dumber.

OR link them to HMT so we can have our way with them.

A stage II clutch and a stage II/III cam on a Kia gets it up to PGM v. 8.028b Beta which is pretty wicked fast and gives it an excellent torque curve for e-brake drifts.

The latest one I got was a guy telling me there is no way I can put 1000cc injectors in a stock b16 head. 'you'll blow that thing sky high man don't do it you need at least springs retainers and valves' lol. then when I asked him how many pints of tranny fluid a honda takes he said 'I gave em three and got a full one back, so only 2' Obviously he doesn't work on his own car and I left.

The thing I have a hard time doing is not telling them theyr'e full of ---- right off the bat. If you do that then they get pissed off cause they know all and then it's a never ending argument and they just say you're lying. I try to explain how ---- works in simple laymens terms and usually if they have half a brain they'll catch on that I'm not just making ---- up. Then they flood you with so many questions you wish they would've stayed thinking they know it all.

IE I didn't tell this one kid his fmu and stock injectors sucks and the vtec controller he just ordered was twice as expensive as buying a chipped ecu, instead I explained how they fake out signals to the stock ecu, and advance the ignition timing while hugely over pressurizing the stock fuel system. He caught on and didnt' start badmouthing when I showed him crome.

Course another kid saw that and said 'I need something like that for my WRX' so I instantly opened and showed him EcuFlash he started saying his motor was built and would handle 30psi and 10,000rpms he just doesn't feel like changing those things. Those are the kids that need to take a dirt nap not just from cars, but are usually full of ---- in life in general

im half way done with my associated degree and i know and do far more than the people who graduated from uti. he paid 28k for 9 months. how the hell can you teach someone everything they need to know about the mechanical field they are going into within 9 mo.? i pay under 10 for 2 years and is one of the best schools in the country for diesel technology. we have one first place in skills usa many times.

Yeah at first it was kinda entertaining talking to him, then he just started asking retarded questions that made no sense.

Sold my car last year.
