i like show and go. after getting the 3s in my engine bay, im focusing all my attention on running more boost, gettting turbo to spool faster, moitoring my engine, etc, but i still like the idea of having a nice looking car.

damn.. one of my post back from the dead... >>

depends...if u already have a fast car, u might as well add on to it, but other than that, looks. Looks grabs peoples attentions even when ur car is parked somewhere, but performance only wows when ur on the move. I would like both though.

well, i drive a WRX

so performance, lol

the STI looks good, but just a plain WRX like mine is weak in the good looks category

i'd leave the celica looks stock, maybe highlight it with a paintjob and some 16"-17"s, and then put the rest of the money into performance, cause celica looks good stock, and im not into the whole show car sorta thing, i like some lips and some basic body kits, but i dont like wings/spoilers at all, unless your seriously AutoX at high speeds, or have a 500hp drag car you dont need them IMO (but thats another topic). How bout this for ever second you take off your quarter mile time you can add another stage, lol, thats what sounds good to me

stage 1 : paint job, new wheels
stage 2 : lip/small bodykit
stage 3 : minor hood scoop, good lookin fenders, and bodykit
stage 4 : supra (IMO there the best looking) spoiler
stage 5 : all out w/e you want ,lol

put in short, i'd rather have a sleeper, than a ricemobile

We all know what I'm gonna say. I think looks are for guys who don't know motors.

And Andason (i think u said it) I don;t think racing is an immature thing. Last night while I was at the track, there more middle aged racers then teens.

My celi hasn't gotten me any chicks, really. Girls always tell me how hot my car is, and i show em the nos and he get all "ohhahhhh-y". But no chick is going to sleep with you just cuz of ur car. But a hot car is a great ice breaker

i used to be all about the show. then after 1 auto x event i was hooked on the cornering aspect. so now all my focus is on suspension and power. body kit is now cracked and scratched but at least i can keep up with the bigger cars on some corners.

youve got to have both. Really depends what youre going for, if you want a street racer then what is the point in putting a really good bodykit on the car without having any power to back it up. The same tihing can be said for all go and no show, what is the point if the car looks like a shed even if it is fast

Well looks over power. isn't that really the terminology of a ricer?

looks without power is just plain bull. In my opinion, Unless you have some power (200 bhp and up) you shouldnot even consider looks

Lets see....I have a ST.....so I would say looks lol
But when I work on someones car I always tell them power before looks....If you have the looks you need to back it up.....otherwise you just look stupid on the line!

well stated this thing almost 2 years ago .. about time i post which side i'm on...

performence is good if and when you need it... and to tell the truth i don't think i have ever needed it... it has help me get places quicker when i'm late... but other then that... nothing... yea it's hella fun to have... but i'm not the kind to go to the track a whole lot... and i don't give a damn if everyone else car is faster then mine... if i want to go fast i'll just get another bike ...so much fast thener tjem a car..

as for looks well if you have an ugly car it's just plan ugly ... if you have a sexy car it's just sexy... if you don't want to race or go fast looks will always be more important...

but right now .. i want to go fast .. don't need it just really want it... that damn M3 around my job.. i want to beat him so bad...

ok i'm sleepy im going to bed now .. bye everyone talk to ya'll later..

I believe that Performance has to come before anything else. My definition of rice is: Anything that looks like it can do what it can't. For example: The fart can. A simple straight through "muffler" with a huge tip at the end that makes your car sound like a fart driving down the road. It does nothing for performance but makes it look like you have a descent exhaust back there, the only give away being the sound. Looks come after performance. If you make your car look like the baddest thing on the road, it damn well better be the baddest thing on the road. Why make your car look good if you can't back up the looks with anything that resembles performance. The GT4 guys have it goin on, they look fast and are extremely fast. That is my definition of a real car. Everything evens and balances out.

I cant drive a car that i dont like the appearance >> and i cant drive a car that i dont like the performance >>
