Real life "Fast and Furious"

I really don't think the law can do anything after the fact...

They have to get caught in the act, it's like drugs, you can be taped smoking a ton of weed, shooting up some heroin, or be sniffing up some crack, but unless the police catch you while doing the act they can't do diddly squat...

Here's an interesting article about street racing...

Some of the racers thought the writters were undercover cops, and still didn't even bother trying to hide anything.

If not i'm in trouble

 

Dangit, I blew out my head gasket this morning and had to order a set of upper head gaskets...flush another $100.00 and the weekend tearing apart that 302...On the other hand...I can't wait to get it going with full compression again. Maybe I'll do a little "tweaking" while I have her in surgery...

 

I just watched the last segment where the cops are writing tickets for illegal modifications.

One of the tickets was for colored headlights (blue/spearmint/whatever)...so I'm wondering can anyone just get pulled over or are the cops being hard on the street racers?

I want to do some exterior lighting mods

 

**** yeah, man. That rules. Me and Vin Diesel are like twins, dude.

 

They're called Xenon headlights, I believe... I think it's the lights themselves, not a tinted cover, that makes the difference.

Of course, I also think the kind of people who have tinted headlights are a lot more likely to be ticketed and/or harassed by the police than the kind of people who have BMWs with Xenon headlights. So the difference may not be in the headlights. It may be in the drivers.

 

Why anyone would want blue headlights is still beyond me. I always thought the point of headlights was to help you see at night.

Those guys on that MTV real life show were pretty amusing. Pouring thousands of dollars into a crappy, early-90's Integra, and like a 90 CRX! If they like speed, then they should go for a Z-28 and save themselves the trouble.

Or if you're like me, you'll opt for a Tahoe so you can do this on game days:

 

I'm thinking about buying Xenon bulbs which supposedly give the look of the HID headlights found on BMW's. I'd never tint the headlight cover...that's hillarious.

 

Yeah it amazes me, the guy who they taped the most had spent over 50,000-60,000 dollars on modifications to his car and he still only got 320 horsepower AFTER spraying nitrous oxide (which totally ****s up your engine after a awhile) out of his little Integra. Gimme a break! Why doesnt he just go get a Viper and smoke everyones ass?

 

SCF, are you talking about the guy with the wheel on the right side?

I could never drive a stick if I had to use my left hand to shift. I was surprised to see very few Asians during the show (I mean these are Honda's and Acura's after all). Must have missed that if they did show them.

 

Some people like polishing turds.

Baqui, if that's your truck, I'll know where to find you. I'm tailgating with you this year. Mwa ha ha.

 

Hate on the guys who use them to race, not on the cars. I'm a Honda/Acura person

 

I like Acuras, just not those tricked out lawnmowers. If I want speed and performance, I'll get a real car.

 

Dude, my friend is running a JDM Turbocharged engine in his integrawhich gives 298hp at the wheels with 9 boost and with maximum boost-it's 704 hp; translates to 9.89 in the qtr.

 

Hell yeah, dude. That's ****in' awesome. I have no idea what it means, but hell yeah. Word. Dope.

 

Maybe on paper.

 

A "F&F" jetta just tried to have at me...A JETTA!!! Well, I know that the work on my car went well...for the most part...
