this was my old truck, i just sold it, did the suspension and all the body work myself.
Here is my current ride, a corvette z06 with 405 horsepower stock. Added full exhaust from B&B. Loud.

Thats cool I was looking into it too, alot of people say placing a turbine next to the gas tank is a bad idea lol. I can see why. But that wouldnt stop me from buying one. Although I think im gonna stick with carb.

I'm gonna be honest. The whole "ricer" thing gives us with imports a bad name. When you actually do stuff for performance reasons or have paint and not decals. I have a paint job on my car that I posted earlier. I've got a bigger exhaust and stuff but it's full 3 inch piping underneath right of the o2 housing which is all ported for the big28 turbo. When you just weld on a muffler and a tip and it sounds like crap it's sickening. Those of us who actually do real peformance mods get thrown in the same category.
It's funny though when I get that mustang gt driver talkin trash then I smoke him off the line with awd and once the turbo spools he never has a chance. Usually shuts him up pretty quick.

nothing better than an import pulling up next to an "wanna be bad as*" v8 and spooling up the turbo then to here it hiss...with the true sound of full exhaust....wooo i love it....the term ricer usually refers to those that want to take short cuts that usually look pretty horrible then they ride around like their car is top notch...round here callin anyone in my crew a ricer usually leads to heated "discussion"...lol

i wouldnt say that either... cuz i bought my wheels and body kit before i put any mods on my engine and even then i have barely done anything other than a short ram and headers and full catback exhaust because i an planning on putting an h22a turbo, with headers, cold air, ecu and the works so i didnt want to sink a lot of money into the crappy f22 single cam i havent had the chance to do the engine up grade because the engine, tranny and other mods will be close to 10grand and i am still in school so money is always short...but i agree most ricers do spend money on body kits and tips just to achieve the look without intending to modify the engine

ya thats all i have is bimmers and i will prolly never stray from them in the forseable future. they are all just great cars and all so clean looking so i never do much to the exterior and i like them to look sleeperish with minor tweeks to the suspensionand some minor body panel adjustments by cleaning up the lines and gaps. wish i could say i do all of this but i dont. i have a guy that used to own a company that all they did is sleeper bimmers.
like the color of your accord.
i love white for cars, looks so clean and it is a color that stands out without trying unlike a red, yellow etc
is your friends bimmer a 1985 bimmer? if so what model? i have a friend that has a 88 M3 that is a pretty cool car but he has a ton into it so it better be haha.
