Junk. You can't blame it on his age, most people don't do this at any age and most of the people I knew that liked that junk at 17 still like it at 30. At 17 I was in the 12s and telling people it ran 15s.

Ok heres what you do:
Step 1: Tell him about Acurazine.
Step 2: Help him sign up and post pictures of his car.
Step 3: Join the rest of us in the flaming until he gets pissy, quits Azine, quits his job, and we get a new thread for the hall of fame.

this is perhaps the best post ever! That guy is probably sitting with his online warcraft buddies right now telling them about the "piece of shit Acura" he parked next to at his new job, and how much poon he has pulled in the spot where the back seat used to be.

Keep in mind, if the kid is actually running in the 14's he's just as quick as a stock 08 Type-S 6mt (14.7 @ 101mph last I saw). We'd probably still have a higher trap speed and run him down shortly after the quarter was done but we'd probably get beat off the line. I know my porker isn't exactly the quickest out of the hole. Depending on mods, situation could swing in our favor. Now looks, the kid lost before he even left his mama's house!

Personally I would never make fun of someone if they didn't have the money to do things right and were somewhat humble about it. I remember when I made $6 an hour at 17yrs old and couldn't afford the correct washers to hold my CAI on. I backed out of my parking spot and the air scoop and hose fell off so I was dragging an air scoop 10' in front of my car in front of 100 people. Pretty embarrassing. But this guy sounds a bit cocky.

I totally agree. If you're gonna have a car that's a pain in the but to ride in it better be REALLY fast. Same thing applies to loud exhausts. Nothing worse than an ear splitting exhaust on a car that would get roasted by a V6 Camry.

if a civic and a teg had a baby, and the baby was born with some sort of abnormality....this would be it.
i think you're right...but still, WHY?
must...rag...on him
sorry for the letdown man, but i guess this is equally as good.
will do
yeah i don't know yet, i'm trying to get a peak at the engine but it was raining this morning.
ha! i wish i held such power. he is in an entirely different dept. than i am so my hands are tied.
...
hey at least your camaro probably looked ok. that's what i can't get over about this thing. you truly have to see it in person to appreciate it.
looks can be deceiving...
tyler,
agreed. if you can't do it right, you shouldn't do it at all. what's the point of spending money on your car to make it look like a pile of .
you said it...thank god.
i'm trying to resist! don't tempt me man!
i know...what a discrace...
while that is hillarious, and probably would make me infamous here at azine...i simply can't. shortly thereafter, he would find his way to this thread and it would make things extremely awkward for me here lol...
yeah but he doesn't seem like the nerd/dweeb/goober type...just a misguided soul who's fallin into the notion that "cars like his look good".
yeah maybe he does run 14's...still wouldn't matter to me. the car is so ridiculous that i can't even take it seriously for a moment. i gotta see if i can find anything else on it to make fun of...let me see what i can do today.
yup...need to get that time slip.
i hear what you're saying, and i'm not making fun of him for not being able to afford to modify his ride...i'm making fun of him bc he THINKS it looks great. he was comparing it to my car yesterday...asking what i have done, and then he tells me what he has done, like we are somehow in the same realm here.
we've all done things when we were younger, but i at least hope we pulled it off better than this kid.
my how time changes things...lol
oh you better believe it!
i heard him leave yesterday after work and it sounded like absolute crap. i don't think it is that fast tbh...but i will surely find out.
it's hard to keep up man...constant battle for first.
sowwy dawg...didn't mean to offend!

I agree that it would be a driver's race but the big advantage the TL has is you would be side by side in comfort and quietness and of course stock. My philosophy is that if you have a car that has no creature comforts it better be incredibly quick to make up for it. I'm waiting for tomorrow's story lol. I have a feeling it's not going to end here.

My TL can do this, too!
That reminds me of this guy I spotted in a Wal-mart parking lot in Naples.
As far as mods go, what you see is what he did. Inside was all stock.

I think it'll be worth a run and a couple laughs at the track. You can't lie, you two do share somethings in common.
Both Acura's, both enjoy modding, both are black-ish in color, and the best part both you all work at the same place....

It the kids defense, the subs may have quick detach connections for track use. I used to autocross my daily driver and had banana plugs so I could pull my sub box for "track/airstrip" days. Nevertheless, if you're going to go the "stripper" route, go all the way.

^^^Even "if" the he has "some" engine work done on his Integra and it is lighter, Aaron has damn near every single bolt on mod on his TL-S.
It takes less than 10 mins to remove our rear seats, glove box, spare tire and misc trunk panels. Aaron this would be sooo worth a run at the track!! Haha....maybe I'm just curious as to what numbers you're putting down with all your mods!

I would put money on a bolt-on TL-S over a bolt-on or even light engine work Integra. They are neat little cars but I haven't seen a non riced out one in about 5 years.

no it can not.
Agreed. "Engine work" could be a CAI lol. A "built" engine won't necessarily make more power, it just allows it to make more power reliably. I always laugh when people list a "built" engine as a mod. A built bottom end is just a supplement to the power mods.

Aaron take it to the track. If he beats you, he can keep the job. If he loses, he's fired.
