Be fast? Look fast? Look Good?

[Daddy_Digital]

Which one of the three do u prefer? Persoonally, i like 2 outta 3. look good and be fast. But if i had to choose between the 2..hmm...be fast would take the cake. I dont wanna jus look fast. there are some people who get away with some fast lookin cars, and no one dares to race them. If they did, theyd whoop up on that pretty boy. Discuss..

[Chiodos]

i dont really care to much about speed! just wanna look good and cruise!

[stillfading99]

need my shit clean and look good! candy paint!!!

[*inFamous*]

Personally, i can live with looks fast and looks good, but fortunetly i dont have to :)

[DC2lsvtec]

voted!

[YewllowDA]

all of the above!
looks good and looks bad looks the same to me....

[ef9sleeper]

I like my shit to look clean, but not draw attention, and be fast of course.

[Chinky]

and a have ac choice too

but what is the diff between look fast and look good? cause i think it is the same.

[jägermeister]

i dont really care to much about speed! just wanna look good and cruise!

x2

Speed can get ya in trouble. I'd rather relax and show off the cleanwhip :)

[HEADSHOT]

what about handling?? you could have a fast car and still not beat civic with great suspension around the track

[AZDC2]

i dont really care to much about speed! just wanna look good and cruise!

x2, the way i look at it it's not even worth it to go to fast unless u go to the track

[Rufus]

What about "Holds a Thirstbuster without the fuckin lid hitting my volume knob"

[boostedrex]

well if u have say a rex with no bumper and a huge intercooler good for 600+ hp and u have a home made turbo or a ebay turbo kit under the hood, then thats looking fast. for me it depends on fast, if u mean say a all stock looking teg clean real fast id do that ,but not a fast teg that has dents,scratches, primer.in that case then a clean car

[Neebs]

You have to be really baller to be all of the above.

Be fast ftw.

[boostedrex]

thats true

[Chinky]

You have to be really baller to be all of the above.
good shit neebs thanks for looking out :thumbup:

[Downshift]

I dont care about making any car look pretty and shiny.

[honduh_head]

Where's be reliable? lol

hahaha

[FUK JDM]

You have to be really baller to be all of the above.

Be fast ftw.

Not really. Pick up and Evo, Sti, s2k (not fast but quick) etc...

I tried having a quick honda as a DD and well I hated it. So im going to go with Look good.

[HEADSHOT]

look fast implies that you only look fast....i think any car can look fast when actually going fast

[USDM.LOVE]

this poll is a good way to profile ricers

[HEADSHOT]

this poll is a good way to profile ricers

so far noone has voted for look fast so it dosnt look like there are too many ricers out there

[Daddy_Digital]

I wish I had that money.

[dougvtect]

Fast. Speed. Acceleration. Built Motors. Turbos. Nitrous.

Thats all me baby, thats my thing.

Fuck JDM. Biggest waste of money in the world IMO.

[kerosinek]

Id rather look good and have a car that handles well. Straight line speed is boring and takes no skill (except for the top fuel cars and the like)

[RicoD]

Where is the choice to save up for a house? :o

[rooster]

Whats the biggest waste of money? I dont have either i have a gay ass lexus.

[KingDingaLing]

i like to have all three,i think my car fits all three, its my daily driver, has a nice stance, looks good, boosted.

[imm0rtal]

I wouldn't say I fit into any of those in particular. I prefer a good balance of power to suspension performance, and I am a major whore for rare parts...not really any one of the three choices :)

[DJ NeX]

all of above cuz I can't think str8

[Downshift]

If I can run your car down the strip consistently faster than you can, it's because I have more skill.

[babyrex22]

i agree wit dougvtec & kerosinek
i like bein reallll fast but my cars gotta be able to
hit corners
drag racing does take skill but not as much as circuit racing

[fivesfe]

I would like all of the above, i try to make my car look as clean as possible by washing it, but actually doing body work and so on is not my specialty. Most of my cars look like shit but move pretty good

so i voted be fast

[dougvtect]

Whats the biggest waste of money? I dont have either i have a gay ass lexus.

I was stating that I think buying JDM parts is a waste of money. The fad is dieing out anyway. Just my .02

[KingDingaLing]

the fad?lol its not a fad to me, i like excellent fitment and nice product. sorry if u like shit that is not of good quality

[honduh_head]

the fad?lol its not a fad to me, i like excellent fitment and nice product. sorry if u like shit that is not of good quality

there are more USDM companies that make good products than JDM...and JDM stuff don't generally make more power...thank god there were some rednecks out there that were willing to leave there precious mullets aside to start on honda stuff....cuz then we wouldn't have edelbrock parts, hytech parts or endyne...or crower....or comp....none of these are jdm and all of them make good power and got the honda boys past the nines faster than JDM parts did....

now having some cool JDM wheels may be some of your guy's thing....it's not mine but I see why you have them....they look good and are rare....but I don't mind saving a little $$$ and getting some rotas and then put that extra bling towards that better cam set up that i have been saving for....k end of rant

[hector200]

i wanna look slow and be fast

[Owens]

It's all about Looking Good. It's not like theres a huge gap between Looking Good and Being Fast though, unless you roll around in your honda track car, lol.

I look good in my Civic on the weekdays, and I look better in my Supra on the weekends.

[ThatsMyEG]

whats the point of having a honda if its not fast?

[Owens]

...Reliability? Honda's look good (except for Accords) and they don't lighten the wallet at the pump, or when something breaks.

when and who made the claim that 'JDM parts' make more power? The whole fanboy fad of buying replica JDM parts may be fading(hopefully because people are investing into better parts), the USDM parts that you speak of were meant to build power. But the real JDM lifestyle is on the opposite end; from my understanding it was never about making the most power. It was about maintaining a clean and subtle attractive look to the car while at the same time freeing up a few ponies but overall building it with supreme quality parts built by companies that live up to the japanese motorsports heritage.

If I set out to build a fast ass car, I would obviously go with parts that have the R&D in them to provide the power, most of which were fab'd up and designed here in good ol' US of A.

this thread is funny.

i voted be fast well my car is none of the things listed it is slow, and looks like a big pile of shit. but i would rather have a fast car. the jdm and clean hondas are nice but if your car cant move then whats the point? and it does feel good when you can beat a clean good looking car in your faded paint stock body car.

latersholy fuck B-RAD, when people talk about jdm parts, its usually interior and exterior, not the engine. i could fuckin care less if my motor is jdm or usdm, when its comes to motors and going faster, i choose to only use the best. LIKE MY REDNECK AFI KIT. :clap:

Hell no. I refuse to drive a junker. If I wanted something balls to the wall fast, it would not be a civic.

I don't get the point of this, at the end of the day you just drive a fast shitbox.

modding is all about personal preference, you choose to build a fast car or you choose to build a car that looks good, maybe even both! Your resources and your taste will ultimately determine if you were able to execute it all correctly or not.

[MOD's Spell Checker]

i used to be all about going fast, but its rare that i punch it in the car anymore. its more of a cruiser now, i rarely go over 75 anymore.

the bike is for going fast now, lol :blunt:

[teemfedx]

i just want to have the lowest car!

[cheesefries]

whats the point of going fast if you dont look fast? Looking fast is good because no one will want to race you on bell rd.

[Downshift]

whats the point of going fast if you dont look fast?
1) Cops.
2) Sleeper.

Both.

It's his thread, he has the right to bump it IMO.

[DarkAngel]

Dang I would have them all if I could. If anything just looking good. Speed and Fast looks are not my thing anymore. Passed by a beautiful Corvette yesterday though. Man was she beautiful. Sounded mean as heck when he overtook me. Stock with balls is what I am after now.

[RedEk]

look clean

[that one eg]

fast and semi clean

[Dedspool Superior Tuned]

looking good and being fast is all you need, but being fast is more important to back your shit up.

[jakellama123]

I think it depends. They need to look half decent and be at least low 15s or high 14s which isn't fast but not super slow. I buy my cars and plan everything right away. Prelude-look the sex and a clean dd. Si- clean dd but don't wanna put money into it. Fast enough. Eclipse-fuck how it looks and the rims and everything. All money to the motor

[Shiznit]

be fast, look good. i dont care about looking fast so i didnt vote

[krazyblurtz]

Half show, half go. Besides a few clean looking parts jdm has...fuck the trends.

reliable, and faster than "peppy" ftw

lookin good here!!!! that's all i need

[skoozul]

I think it should be broken up again
1a) be fast in a straight line
1b) be fast in the twisties

in that case its all about the mountain roads

[crx88]

I would say Look good.. Even tho my car doesn't.. YEt! LOL. Its faster than some cars tho. Lol but look good 4 me.

[xUNDEADxCIVICx]

is that why you get no pussiezzzzzzzzzzzzzz



:lmao:
no. married. with 2 kids. already got that covered.
as for goin fast. whats the point of lookin fast, just draws more attention. and who the hell cares bout lookin good. i dont go out to impress, i already have a beautiful girl, dont need to impress nobody. goin fast is better than all of them cause it gives you the feeling nothin else can, and its the only thing that calms my nerves down enough for my muscles to not be in pain. i have bad muscle and nerve problems so that adrenaline or whatever it is helps me alot. so yeah i like to go fast and i always push my car up to at least 100 when i hit the freeway. dont try to act cool and say "is that why you get no pussiezzzzzzzzzzzzzz?" no... just stop. just makes you look like a dumbass, if you dont know me and dont know anything about me, leave the "dumbass" shit to yourself cause i dont want to hear it. grow up, this aint high school no more, not everybody cares about fuckin some slut all the time, there's more important things in life.

[Guerillah]

look good and be fast is the right combo

[jonnymos]

Um...
no. married. with 2 kids.
i always push my car up to at least 100 when i hit the freeway.

Hmm you took the words right out of my mouth....
just makes you look like a dumbass

Sounds like you should take your own advice!
grow up


You should've thought about what you were going to post before opening that cock holster of yours, making yourself look like the dumbass. :thumbup:

[VtecGoesMmbah?]

id rather look good cause the ladies dog! hha

[alx]

function > form

wake up its a civic. to the vast majority of people, you dont look sexy in a civic. no matter how pimp we think it looks.

[Method520]

im into the performance aspect. into getting a car with a bad rep, into something that can make those hick's jaws drop. stupid hicks. but before any money is spent on performance, its gotta look good, not pizzazy, but clean and functioning. cause 350whp in a civic, but the passenger not openable, is just straight ghetto, and thats not what im into.

[lil_al]

i like being fast but fast leads to being broke between tickets and fixes so ima go with look good :) but fast is soo much fun dont make me choose lol

[screaminB20Vtec4LiFe]

i wanna b fast and look good would rather b a sleeper
