Default i hate kids who dont know what they are talking about

so my friends little brother, hes 16 wanted a fast car i guess. he bought like a 1999 or 2000 gsr, it had a turbonetics turbo kit on it and some other ----. i go to see it, its a nice ------- car. a little ricer but it looked nice. i asked what turbo kit he had he said "stage 3 t3 t4." was like thats not a turbo kit, thats the specs of your turbo, he continued to argue with me until i proved him wrong,. so you think with that nice of a car youd have some good fuel managment, nope. he had no idea what fuel managment was. so i pointed out his awesome fmu that he had and the safc which he thought was a turbo timer. (the turbo timer was below the afc. he said its making 350whp, with that turbo kit, stock motor and 8psi. i was like yea ok. sorry for the rant but i hate people who buy nice ---- and dont know anything about it. i can wait till he blows that motor, he wont even know what happened

I hate that too. I was at school the other day looking at the picture of the intake I bought off of Gurusan's post and my buddy was like "60, right?" And I'm like.. wtf? He goes "That'll add about 60 horsepower, right?" Ah well. Just let him blow up his motor then buy the car off of him cheap.

That's why I can' talk to people abotu cars around here. A couple weeks ago this guy was telling me about how I need a turbo timer and how important they are and how they will add so much life to my turbo. I told him I paid $150 for the turbo and I couldn't give a ---- less if it lives another week and takes s ----.

I've also talked to people who claim to be making 600whp in a 2200cc N/A motor with a few basic bolt ons. I just ignore and refrain from talking to people about cars anymore. I can't stand it.

Some local dude asked me how much power my car had.. I told him it was putting down around 200whp.. he said "oh mines putting down about that much with the intake and exhaust" (stock b16).
