Honestly, why do you care so much? If he's not your friend, ignore him and don't let it bug you.

If you don't like him, don't be friends with him.
And who cares if he goes to car meets or not, or whether or not he likes Hondas.
Do your own thing.

I am currently attending NTI, a branch of UTI and I haven't had any instructors that "bash" Honda, or any other brand for that matter. You will hear an occasional jab like, thats because its a Chevy, or something along those lines. As a matter of fact, the instructor of the course that I've had for the past 3 weeks worked as the head technician for a Honda/Acura specialty shop for 12 years or something like that.

Everyone is naturally going to be opinionated, and that goes for everything, not just cars...The courses are generally based off of General Motors, because thats what ASE is based off of..The instructors and people in general have had certain experiences that lead them to brand loyalty, and also experiences that may have led them to not liking certain manufacturers....Thats just the way it goes...


And like many others have said, just ignore the fool and move on...High school drama will always be high school drama and until you learn to ignore it, or separate yourself from it your not really going to grow away from it...Pick your battles wisely because some things just arent worth the frustration and aggravation.




And on a side note, you wont find a hairstyle like that at my campus...The school is very strict on professionalism and they will send you home if you come in like that.

Japan's all about space efficiency, so it helps them park as close as possible to one side or get into tight parking spots.

his point is retarded b/c they are the exact same car.

usually the "accord euro R" has more options then its US counterpart... so really, the acura is lacking if anything...

not exactly.. TSX has a honda inspire interior. the US Accord had the Euro Accord interior and the Inspire had the US Accord exterior.

That actually looks kinda cool and useful, instead of something that looks like a mini CB antenna sticking out the side of his fender.

What's the point of this thread? You'll meet plenty of egomaniacs in your lifetime. He is compensating for his lack of friends; don't worry, be happy.... just please don't put a parking pole on your car.

There's not much besides power increase & a possible limiter increase/removal.

Some cars are not that easy, though. With the E36 M3s that have a 3.2L, the Europeans got a 6-speed manual whilst I believe the US models stuck with the 5-speed.

In any case, if you're going to tune the car, see what you can really get instead of trying to get it like an European car. Not many people are going to know the difference anyway.

I'm still sorta lost with euro tuning, but am catching on and when they euro tune cars, what is done to the car?
Nobody "Euro tunes" cars or "turns it back"....It's simply not that easy with some European cars.

Any shop with the knowledge & capability can tune a European car. Jotech here is mainly a GT-R tuner, but they have created their own 911 Turbo & Gallardo tunes.

What they do to tune the car is nearly the same as any other car being tuned. The only difference is they're trying to tune the car to be similar to European specs. And in most cases, it's pointless because many European sports cars in the US aren't that noticeably different from the European models, so there's no point in dropping cash to get a 10-20hp difference if there's more power to be gotten.

Mainly in the US with European cars, the popular thing to do is to make the cars look like models we didn't get here. For example, nobody is going to tune an E46 M3 to be similar to the European equivalent; the differences are minimal. However, many owners will try to make their M3s look like the CSL model that was never sold here just like NSX owners attempt to be recreate their cars into Type-Rs.

I can't add much more regarding the idiot in question that hasn't been said already. People like him will always exist & will unfortunately, miss out on learning about other automotive brands because of some silly "hate" towards it.

Well, I didn't put as much info as I probably should have, but yeah he really likes it's usefulness, and it came straight from Japan for only $7! way cheaper than buying a whole bumper with a stick poking out of it.

I understand your POV but for 7$ I think it was worth it, it can extend vertically, bend side ways, and be taken off so it wont get jacked.

I don't know why you'd want to but observe teenies having a conversation at a mall. You'll see what I mean; make sure to wear dark glasses, a hoodie and a handle bar mustache for extra laughs.


Having young siblings (M/F), I am unfortunately exposed to their pointless ramblings which include a lot of side notes/comments which have little to do with the initial story.

It wouldn't, but for $7 it was way cheaper than a whole bumper. Those things are sold at auto stores in Japan, which is where he got it.
