Imports

Get back on the bloody topic ..

This post makes no sense in the context of PB's statement...

Today must be the day of unknown but offer your opinion critiques. PB asked what? What was I lol'ed too. Right PB that was the question, ok. Done, how does it not make sense if I answered a question he asked. Now the presidential wise-crack was an analogy, a poor one maybe, should have went with something else but hey I was rooting for the old guy. So pardon me but 'Azuremen', wth do mean it doesn't make sense?

We'll where ever you are from we clearly get called a sell out for a different reason and ricer, nice I'm almost flattered.

Putting stickers on your car for parts you don't have, that's a part of the definition of ricer. A replica without the parts isn't really a replica, is it?

 

[Glanza-V]

Blem Blam Ble Bluh Blum Bee Baaa Boop..

 

[mazdaman]

This is crazy but you gotta love them.

Glanza have you ever seen a video of La atrevida(the stralet you posted)??

 

[Glanza-V]

Yeah, the things a little ****in' rocket

Wait a min, Glanza gimmie a sec...

So I guess I should have had went with that Spoon engine swap after all instead of facing 'oh no' I'm being called a ricer. Ok point made, whatever. And of course it wasn't 'really a REPLICA', when did Spoon ever release a EG8 sedan??

PB didn't ask a question. He made a statement... And what is the day of unknown

Here, I'll explain, with key aspects high lighted, what I was talking about.

PB said this...

I think if I had a company I liked but didn't have any of their parts I would specifically not put their stickers on my car so as to not bring down their image with an unworthy car.

Oh well, I lol'ed.

The bolded bit is the key part of his post. He is lol'ing at the idea of someone respecting a company but using the image without their products.

As I did too! So like i said above wasn't going to break the bank just to have a 'right' to bear a sticker. I'd imagine all McCain/Palin supporters shot themselves in the face for putting the loser's candidate sticker on their cars to right?

The part I underlined looked like it was in agreement to what PB said. And the bold bit, well, you just repeat yourself, when everyone here was declaring how putting a sticker on without any parts is very poseur/ricer like.

Not to mention your terrible analogy.

And then this...

So I guess I should have had went with that Spoon engine swap after all instead of facing 'oh no' I'm being called a ricer. Ok point made, whatever. And of course it wasn't 'really a REPLICA', when did Spoon ever release a EG8 sedan??

You are attempting to replicate the image that Spoon has for their cars, despite a failure to replicate anything else.

Can we all shhut up and post some imports please?.. ..

I, lol'ed (this is such a stupid and pointless clarification), at yes stickers from a company being on a car with none of its parts. Big whoop. Hence 'oh no' im being called a ricer and don't flatter me.

If my desire was to have the visual comparisons to a Spoon car and not the performance aspect of it wtf did I fail at when I got the results I wanted with hmmm? Also there isn't a Spoon EG8 sedan to have had replicated so your barking up all the wrong trees.

Also, Wait. What? by even idiotic standards this is clearly a question.

 

[Azuremen]

Sorry sorry, all this talk got me thinking about my old EG...

So, here is a picture of a nice EG-6

 

[Glanza-V]

Where did you get that pic ?

Wait, so you are laughing at something you did to your own car?

Hence 'oh no' im being called a ricer and don't flatter me.

We never were trying to flatter you, with anything.

Replicating the image of a brand doesn't require them to have the exact car you own. If you black your hood, put stickers on, and emulate their style, you are attempting to replicate their image. As for your car, you failed at being either original in visual style, or following through with go fast parts. In short, you want your car to look faster than it is by using stickers. It is just in poor taste.

Ok, let me tell you something don't for one breathing second insinuate I went out and put stickers on a flipping car to 'go fast' I'm no 16 year old punk with his learners license trying to go street racer. Keep sly remarks like that amongst your peers and personal friends who may be humored by it. Secondly I didn't 'black' the hood. The hood came pre-primed an ugly dark gray color. Instead of painting it white we decided to paint it black. Thirdly nobody around these parts called it un-original. As it was one of a very few EG sedans in the area that didn't look like it was on its way to the junker. No one tuned or played with EG sedans and red wheels as much till I had that one on the road. There's a red-rim sensation going about nowadays, and all of a sudden every white EG has a black bonnet. So in short, wanted a Spoon look, got it. Was I aiming for Spoon power nah not at all, ok. Did I mean to start a craze over EG's, red wheels and black bonnets, no. But you know what it's an achievement when your out and about and you see so many going after the look you did 3 years ago and also when people ask if 'your the guy that drove the white EG four door with red wheels, LoL. I like it, I embrace it, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery anyways. Again though, stickers to go faster, don't be an idiot I plead of you ! Now Glanza I'll get back to some imports.


I always here Honda's are little toys, well I guess I'm a kid a heart.

I didn't say you put them on to go faster. You put them on for that tuner, "go-fast" LOOK. Quite the difference. So I'll continue to post my "sly" remarks, because well, they aren't that sly.

Secondly I didn't 'black' the hood.

Okay... but wait?

The hood came pre-primed an ugly dark gray color. Instead of painting it white we decided to paint it black.

So by painting it black, you didn't black the hood. Got it.

Thirdly nobody around these parts called it un-original. As it was one of a very few EG sedans in the area that didn't look like it was on its way to the junker. No one tuned or played with EG sedans and red wheels as much till I had that one on the road. There's a red-rim sensation going about nowadays, and all of a sudden every white EG has a black bonnet.

The Spoon's tuning and performance is part of their business. Imitation maybe flattery, but it is embarrassing when all it is looks with a car. By not doing an performance, your "Spoon" EG-8 is slow, and well, shameful to Spoon.

Again though, stickers to go faster, don't be an idiot I plead of you !

I'm not the one looking like the idiot, but thank you for your concern...

 

[SRinc.]

Your more than welcome only women pay this much attention to my words. I am yet again flattered so thank you!

Amuse Z.

And a Nismo 350Z. I used to love working by this Nissan dealer that had 2 of these up front by the main entrance, I so envied that custodian working there that looked grumpy every morning.

 

[Prosthetic]

Fail. The Stanceworks guys over at BF.c are some of the biggest tools...

Damn... Doesn't surprise me really... BMW seems to be the car maker of choice for every 16 year old in California. E36 especially because its cheap. I would never buy that generation of 3 series because 90% of them have now been infected by 'Toolness'

I'm not judging your Purple M3 Azure, because that's one I actually like 👍

Don't worry, I'm hard to offend But I do agree with you... I love my M3 and I love how the E36 looks, but there are a lot of tools out there. Luckily, there are groups of us that prefer to keep it clean and legit, and I know most of the legit local guys.

But.... the color is Daytona Violet not purple

@ SRinc.:

So you've admitted that your car was a slave to the JDM/Spoon look yet little/nothing was done to it in terms of power... You made it look "fast" without it actually being fast. I think the only way it could've been worse for rice-factor is by being an automatic.

Rice rice baby, dum-dum-dum-d-dum-dum, dum-dum-dum-d-dum-dum...

I always here Honda's are little toys, well I guess I'm a kid a heart.

Are those real or kit bashed/fabbed? If they're real, I want more info on them please!

My car has an Si badge. Iono, it was there when I bought it. Pretty sweet though. I should replace it cause it's fading.

Ok something weird's going on with these pics - and it's probably the lighting, but I almost think the IS is computer generated. the matt finish looks like gloss coming from F3, and the GS isn't far behind.

Or maybe everyone knows they're computer generated and I'm looking like a twazzock by pointing it out.

And on some cars the wheels look weird.

It's just the editing by the photographer was blown out to look fake. The photos didn't look like that off of the camera. Looks like a polarizing filter was also used, so that helps with the softer body reflections. They're real.
