i meet a guy out here driving a mx-3..I hate to say this about another mx-3 driver..but it was rice. I wish i had my dig cam on me at that time. He had about 8-set of fog lights on the car, a huge alum. double spoiler, nice rim, i will give him credit there. With a cheap decal on the side, Double "Static Straps" and fake Euro Ants. but the thing that killed me was his hood. the whole car was flat red, and the hold was flat black, I asked him how come his hood was painted. He told me " Have you seen that movie Fast & Furious, all the show cars have black hoods to make them look good" I asked him if was thinking a carbon fiber, he was like "what that?" I didnt have the heart to tell him. It looked like he took a lot of effort into his car.

I've seen the 'black hood' look quite often in the UK, there has even been a few cars featured in the UK mods mags, with black hoods.

A mate of mine has a dump valve fitted as a breather filter (on a 1.1ltr Fiat)... and keeps going on about having a dump valve on his car.... how sad.

so mikeuk........

u have a HOOD type pin...........u dont seem..
it is recommended..........
all i was saying it is stupid b/c i have seen on multiple boards of cars that get screwed up b/c they have no hood pins,
i personally have my pins in not b/c i want to be like everyone else I dont want to crash my car if my hood latch fails
& more than one person has asked if they need hood pins...........I think that the answer should be u need some type of alternate latching mechanism for saftey reasons

you want some pistons for that rotary engine!

another board...does it matter how i do it...as long as it works and different. thats what we all want.
me-so youd use a electronic blower
kid-sure, why not. it blows air and takes nothing off the engine. constent boost.

kid with an esi...who scraped the e, glued a mark up to and made it a "tsi" me-why dont you turbo your car?
kid-"uhh, there isnt enough room"
me-"you know, roy has the same engine, and had his avenger turboed. doent gs-t and gsx use the same engine bay"
kid-yea
me-so tell me again why there isnt room for a turbo?
i got a 90 pgt...but wish it was a mx-3 bp-t!

HEHEHE...
one day after i closed the shop(i used to work in a performance shop) i was outside talking to this guy (who drove a geo storm with an aluminum wing)who was honestly perplexed and just couldnt understand why his car only ran a high 17 in the 1/4. he asked me what he could do to make it faster. what i told him: "put some nitrous on it. maybe a 100 shot." now in itself that might not seem so bad but on a stock storm?? but this is what got me: i could tell he was actually thinking about it. i tried not to laugh. i felt bad.
i've been asked on more than one occasion "hey you've got that rotary motor don't you?"

I don't remember quite how he said it but it was something like this...

"I got my car painted about a year ago, and the quality is great. I just wish there were more coats of clear coat to hold back the polish."

I was just to fed up with people not knoing the difference of wax and polish to tell him, so I just walked away :roll: .
