ever notice that your cd's or mp3's or whatever you are listening to in the car get old relatively fast, but the sound of the engine never gets old?

ugh i can barely tell my car is running stock is killing me...

oh funny story about loud cars...

i was at PIR this summer and my friend went up to talk to his friend and in the mean while i was letting air out of my tires this guys gf comes up to me to talk to me. (i think ito myself - ok im not going to judge right - mayb shes into this since shes here) she tells me how scary drag racing is at PIR and shes worried about her bf going 100 and asks me if i think its scary and wheres my bf and i was just like umm im here to race - no its not scary. she then continued to tell me how she hated the smell and how all the cars were so loud. i was just like ok and walked around to the other side of my car to ignore her.

<<PIR is a bad place for me - girls are usually dumb and guys are like omg a girl driving a car...i tend to just roll my window up on ppl and pretend i dont see them thru the tinted glass lol

>>>>>>guys shouldnt take girls like that to car events unless the girls are going to be gettin naked...

I know of two black on black. My neighbor has one, along with his ferrari in murrayhill, and my gf's neighbor has one off of 170th/farmington. So it could be either one, both with rims and exhaust. I run to my window everytime I hear them. I want one next year.

My Pinto had two doors and had tints. Replaced the carburetor with a hi-perf one and had exhaust. I think it had a whopping 100 hp after I was done. Dropped on 175/70-13's. Nice chocolate brown color.

LOL, no one on this thread was even born when I drove this car.

I had a 1st Gen Teg that was fun to drive, but not so quick. It was only lightly modded though.

There is a young asian kid driving a black/black NA1 NSX in Beaverton quite often. There is a red/ivory NSX all over Lake Oswego on my way to work in the mornings.

not old but i feel old. Yea the one thing i hated about driving the teg was that i was always paranoid with it being stolen. It was broken into like 3 times but they could never take car.

So this NST pulley - is it a lightened crank pulley like the UR? If so, why NST and not UR, or does UR not make one for the TSX?

UR makes a underdrive kit i wanted an OEM size that is lighter since i plan to some day run supercharger or turbo.. i suppose with a turbo it wouldnt matter but i dont want to under drive a supercharge cause then i would be making less boost.. unfortunetly i cant get a single power steering pulley so i might have to shell out for that..but i did speak with the owner of NST and they are suppose to do that next year for our cars so i might wait on that

I believe that the DC5 pulley's will work because the UR pulleys are actually for the DC5 but work just fine on the TSX. So you could find someone parting out and pick up the UR PS pulley or a JDM DC5 pulley.

I can imagine the CT strut was a pain, my neuspeed was a pain as well and requires less work lol.

Side note: OMG SUNSHINE!

UR makes stock diameter crank pulleys too (ultra SS), well at least for the TL they do.
