This is "HomeMadeTurbo" not "HomeMadeRice". That is the simple non-offensive reason why you are not getting any sympathy here. Also, being that this is HomeMadeTurbo and not HomeMadeRice, you can probably expect the users here to give more respect to others who take the time to learn enough about the operation of their vehicle's engine to fabricate a complete turbocharging system to enhance their vehicles performance, as opposed to someone who buys some bolt on items that someone else made, and install them, and operate a rattle can.

I'm not saying that you did not put effort into the appearance of your car, it's obvious you did. It just that the users here don't value appearance for the sake of appearance. They value performance and the knowledge required to increase performance.

If you had molded your own body kit, in order to make the installation of your intercooler more functional, and did a write up on it to share that knowledge, you would have gotten some mad love for it, provided you hadn't said we don't know ---- about custom cars. We know plenty about custom cars, and we don't value them very much...

We do performance, not custom.

Just helping you out with some real'ness

what it seems to come down to is u guys think it takes much more talent and time to work on the motor or throw a turbo on then do good fiberglass work thats just not true

What about your car makes is a show car anyway? I've got wayyyy more mods into mine than you do and I still don't win ---- at shows. I pretty much go to them to ------ the word of HMT anyways, and to school the rice **** while I'm at it. And for another thing...I've done 100% of the work on my car myself, everything from the paint job (yeah, I know...the pearl turned out pretty gay...not my fault :P) to the motor build, nose swap, shaved moldings and rear side skirts(only because the stock ones weren't all there and the back was rotted out), turbo setup(s...plural, had many in this car), full suspension swap, interior bits and pieces...you ------- name it. Ohh, and the seats were temporary...Si buckets are back in it now.




shameless plug for Tuner Toys in this one

I've done both, anyone dumbass can do bodywork with very little education, its easy just takes alot of time. Putting together and tuning a my turbokit took ALOT more research, was harder to do, and was 100x more rewarding when it was done. Sure I'm still slow, happy to break into the 13's but you making statements like that is just retarted.
