Are you a racer or ricer? - 6G Celicas Forums

You are a respectable tuner. You probably subscribe to one or more tuner magazines and know, quite a bit about your car and/or racing in general. Either that or you play a ****load of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.

One of two things happened if you received this rating. Either you know absolutely nothing about tuner culture and chose "no idea" often. In this case, i guess i could say congratulations, but really you wasted your time taking this test...actually this test is a waste of time for everyone. The second option is a little rarer. You must be someone that knows a lot about either mechanics or racing, but jack about the other subject....or you're just guessing. Either way, congratulations....you're mediocre...but still not a ricer, for which you should be thankful

haha & I had to guess on a lot of those cause i dont know a lot about engines etc >frown.gif> (& im a girl >biggrin.gif> ), hey natalie what are your results?


CHUCHO: whats your %???

Congratulations. You are the real thing. Chances are you could tear down your engine and put it back together in a weekend. You know a decent amount about racing dynamics. The "FATHF" culture has been a bane to your existence since you've been in the game for years before that horrid movie was released. Auto-x, drag racing, track time, you know enough to not sound like an ass while talking about it, and you can probably hold your own on the track too. Race on, good citizen, for you are a true Racer.

Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial

no

MyFlickrMyeBay_Perpetual Aperture_
i got the same as you amy...but -4%
i think it hurt a lot that im fwd, auto, have only done looks so far, and have yet to buy a jack to do my own oil

hey, it's only $20 to get it changed anyways and takes 10mins...
for my 60K service i got rid of the synthetic w/ the flush, so...yea

that test still hurt

oh yea, wtf IS nissan's "V-tech"
i had no clue they even had some kind of variable cams..though only VVTl-i and V-Tech
What's the correct order?
Intake, Power, Compression, Exhaust
Power, Exhaust, Intake, Compression
Exhaust, Power, Intake, Compression
Intake, Compression, Exhaust, Power
this question doesn't even have the right answer
intake,compression,power,exhaust is what it ShOULD be, because the power comes from the combustion...
if i had a manual, and changed my own oil...
and i changed the civic exhaust from 2" to 2.5", but it really should be 2.25"

6% .... the "Non-Racer" >biggrin.gif>
Dang, i thought that, but didn't do it because it didn't say Cycle or give anything to give the impression it was looped...

AVCS...its old school.

A Jaws4God Creation...
that's what i put, good
but then if it's "old-school" it's probably not "V-tech" like, but rather just vvt-i

v-tech works much more like vvtl-i
Wooo! I put AVCS >biggrin.gif> BS guesses are great sometimes
