    I put a clock in my truck.

    Then daylight savings hit and I was just too lazy to reset the time. So I took it out.

    Terrified a mate with it.

    McDonalds near us is on a motorway. Joining motorway can be sketchy in slow vehicles, my old 1.0 corsa for example I did with 3 adult passengers, thats a 30 second 0-60 and you're trying to merge into a 70mph speed limit zone without the aid of an onramp.

    Friend has never been in a car with more than roughly 100 horsepower, and certainly not when they are launching hard. I saw a gap, I took it, launched it hard. I quite from him: "OOOOOHHHHHH MMMMMYYYY GGGGOOOOOODDDDDD"

    I can go one better.
    I work for a construction company right now, and with my 75 El Camino, I jumped off of the lower part of the under construction bridge, onto the wrong side of the free-way, dodged traffic for half a mile, then pulled back into the construction site.
    Never caught me.

    I do not think you should use a word like "gay" to describe cutting the springs on a car.

    Also, the El Camino was so banana'd I thought I broke the driveshaft.
    Went to my local track and beat the instructor the next day.

    Fine. Chopped springs are queerio. I finished the swap a few days ago:




    It annoys me how much nicer the old car looks than the new one. But the new one is way faster. Heheh.

    Street manners will be fine. It will feel like a normal Integra gsr before boost and, after it spools somewhere near 5 or 6k watch out. Another reason not to go super low compression on a turbo build.

    The ancient Greek adage of "pics or it didn't happen" tends to work in these scenarios

    Well recently just bought this car. Got a new fender off ebay for dirt cheap and painted it with the cheapest red paint i could find at lowes. The car has been sitting in a barn for almost 2 years and has been hit a few times by tractors haha. Well either way it's a nice little car, honda b18 with a 5 speed. I have patch panels and a new door to fix the rust so don't worry about it. Will be getting resprayed here professionally real soon too.

    well about one and a half month ago a bunch of c**ts tried to steal my car for the second time ...

    they didn't succeed but the door mechanism of the front doors where complete broken so orderd the parts and drilled the broken components out and opened the doors,

    i replaced the components, cleaned the hole door inside and outside (when you get in so deep you might as well do everything) ,replaced the door rubber seals
    and charged the battery all in all it took 10-12 hours and the day after all that i went to the motor convention in utrecht with my dad ;)

    That is no better than gay.
    Please refrain from using those kind of words, as they can be extremely offensive to the community.

    Oh shit, did it sound like I was trying to be offensive towards spring-cutters? I have no problem with the spring chopping lifestyle, just keep it away from me and my kids. Don't want my kids to be influenced by dirty spring choppers ya know.

    No.
    I was saying that you referring to cut springs as "gay" and "queerio" is offensive to the LGBTQ community.

    Wait, the LGBLT community cuts springs? Eugh. Get rid of them. Make them illegal. Send them back to Mexico.
