Me and a couple of my friends were hanging out in the McDonalds parking lot late one night last week just minding our own business when a group of civics pull up and start talking trash about how third gens suck and RS's are so slow. One guy said that his 2009 Civic Si with NOS would blow the doors off my 20 yr old pile of crap 305. I just smiled and once he got done shooting his mouth off I calmly asked if he was willing to back that up with action. I told him that I would race him for pinks. He hmmm and hawwwwed and so I said, "What you don't think you can win"? I then pulled out my title and told him I had mine right here, but if he wasn't man enough. Finally after going back and forth and me embarrasing him some more in front of his friends he agreed to race for it.

We all then caravaned down to a deserted industrial area that my friend knew of that had about a mile long straight stretch of road. We sent one of his friends and one of my friends down about a 1/4 mile to make sure the winner was called fairly. We both then lined up and wait for my friend to start us. I brought the car up to about 1500 rpms and the civic kept reving his engine higher and higher. When my buddy dropped his hat I feathered the clutch out of the hole and still got some wheel spin, but overall it launched pretty good. The civic lit up the tires and then he finally hooked. By that time I was about 3 car lenghts ahead though so I kinda let off to somewhere around 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. The civic then started catching up pretty quick and I let him get to about my back bumper and then I dropped the hammer and tore him a new one. By the quarter mile mark I was about 3-4 car lengths ahead of him and pulling.

Once we turned around and went back he wasn't very happy and tried to say that I cheated and that his NOS must have been empty and that's why he had lost. I just said a bets a bet and I needed the keys. Finally after about an hour of arguing and near fights he finally turned over the keys.

im throwing my flag

1 racing for pinks is stupid
2 letting off the gas when racing for pinks is even dumber

i wouldnt race a man on foot for pinks, my luck id snap my driveshaft off the line

but lets see the cars and the "bill of sale" (price GIFT ) and we will see

im sure others will throw their flags to

joeblow

I didn't take any pics of the civic, but I've already sold it since I have no need for it. Practically gave it away.

I'll post up a pic of mine though.

i think his name says it all i serously doubt the pinks story as well. did this guy even have the car paid off for you to get the title? anyway welcome to third gen

Are you Paul Walker?

RED_DRAGON_85

lol.
i call bs, but hey, thats just me.
as white85transam said, unless the car was paid off, there is no title to be had.
also, who drive around with the title to the car in their glovebox?
and why would you slow down in a race for pinks?

too much tv and movies about NOS getting to your head

ljnowell

He just happen to have the title to a car that isnt paid off yet? Its lame to lie on the internet.

you know, theres a song you should probably listen to

lol

joeblow

Give me my 10 second car...oh wait I already have it.

Yes the car was paid off. His parents are commercial real estate agents out here and are loaded. He's already got a new WRX to replace the civic. Since he had the title and signed it over to me, I was able to sell the car.

I just happened to have the title in the glovebox because I had gone to the DMV the day before to take care of issues.

I slowed down because I didn't want to beat him so bad and show what the car really had. I do want to get more races in the future and if word gets out about how fast the car is, I'll have a hard time making any more money.

F you. Don't believe me but thats really how it went down.

ThePain

You said you sold it right? How bout a bill of sale.. or something. Maybe even something you pulled off the car before you sold it. Anything!

RED_DRAGON_85

i would have at least taken a pic lol.

what happed to the pic you posted of the red maro with the bra????

i seen it one time and then it left, it look pretty nice

i see a comming real soon to this post

This is my project for the moment.
I took the pic down because every one is so quick to try and disprove the story and call BS that I figured they wouldn't give a crap about the car.

there it is !!!

just my lose the bra, they only really look OK (and i say OK) on a drak green/blue or balck car

they just dont look right on any other color

joeblow

It's supposed to make it look more pedestrian or like a chicks car and not much of a threat. More of a disguise than functional.

lol people are mean on this site hahaha. but yeah id def say i could use a picture of the civic to actually believe the story.

but most wont believe that i beat an 06 Cobalt LS. at least until i tell them its my girlfriends car, and she wanted to race so we raced, shes not the best driver ever so she just WOT at the start obviously spinning for the first 10 feet, while i kind of "eased" into it for no spin. she caught up to me at the end (no top end speed!!) but i def got her haha. she got up to my rear bumper then we slowed it down. i got out and smiled and she yelled "I ALMOST GOT YOU!!" and i said (from an old fast and the furious line) "it dont matter if you win by an inch or by a mile, winning is winning!" yeah. fun fun. okay thats my story, more believeable than joeblow's haha. hope you enjoyed

as long as we are talking about kills, i got a charger (one of the new 4 dr ones)
it was donked out (i think thats the term)
it was basically roll from 35 to about 70 or so.
i had him off the jump and he started to catch me at the end, but we both let off around 70 or so.

I would never risk my bird in a race for pinks. (being a v6 does not help...) maybe my $100 90 accord

chargers are slow... i raced a hemi 300c which is all the same as the charger... a 14 flat to 13.5 car and i walked the **** outta him i was in 1st about 20-30mph and put like 4-5 cars on him...

granted my car isnt stock at all but i consider my car slow

Dude the story sounds like something out of a movie. Everyone has talked about the things that are wrong with it, but I cant get over how someone in a honda talking smack would ever loose that bad for one.

For two, when I think about some guy in a honda talking smack on my camaro, racing for pinks then I know for a fact that I would have never let off. U got the heart of a fighter, or why race for pinks right? Well Not to many fighters would let themselfs get beat up first, then hit back. No, a real fighter wants to get the knock out asap, then lol @ the chump that was talking smack while he is down. Nice dream though.

Also if you did show the guy up like that then why not show of your winnings? No trophy???????????

bart91406

It is a nice story, and I can not say that it is not true, but I do not believe a grown man should influence or justify this kind of behavior, street racing is dangerous, and racing for pinks is just plain redicoulus. I have an 11 second camaro, and would not race a renault with an 80 year old grandmother driving for pinks. My car runs real good down the track 99.9% of the time, but with my luck I would have a blowout half track, or the fuelpump would quit, etc.

joeblow

Dude believe what you want.......It's a free courntry

He didn't know what I was running and later admitted that he assumed it was a slow L03 because of the stock look and RS badges.

Well that's your choice. I chose to let off so I didn't beat him so bad and couldn't get other $$ races.

Ever hear of Rocky? I didn't get beat up I just let him think he had a chance then I took him out.

joeblow

Dude you're in the Theoretical and Street Racing board....thats what we talk about in here. If you don't like it don't come in here and read what people are talking about. I don't need any lectures on what I should or shouldn't be doing from you.

iTrader: (1)

Yep ur full of it lol. No offense.

RS Reaper

I have BS on this too! But I have to say there is no way the NOS worked cause you wouldn't have been taking your foot off the throttle. Just the fact of taking your foot off the throttle cracks me up.
Also you don't have a 10 second car. It is funny that you say you do with a stock 305.
A bra is not a sleeper look. It's a I'm to cheap to fix my paint job look.

Double post

Dom: You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

Dom: Now, me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block... and replace the piston rings you fried.

Dom: Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning.

bart91406

Ok, I agree that it is the wrong place fot that comment, I will just mosey over to a the organizes racing board.LOL

joeblow

What's funny is your inability to read and comprehend information. I guess in your world you read that I had N20 and was running a 305. What I said is that the civic claimed he had N20 and thought I was running a 305 because of the RS badges and stock look. There is nothing wrong with the paint under the front bumper. The bra was put on on purpose to give the car a dated slow look.

Maybe you should have spent the money on paint and body work rather than getting that fancy fiberglass hood. Once your car is one color then come back and you can talk crap about the bra.

I don't believe he ever said he had a stock 305, apparently he has a LSX, T56, and 4.11's.

So, you won and sold a $20,000.00 + car right away..."Practically gave it away."

The person who bought it from you gave you a briefcase full of money

What's that...oh, he gave you a check?? And, it cleared the bank in this same week

My bad! He gave you a cashier's check or money order, but you don't have a copy

No paperwork from DMV

Once again, your lack of intelligence is disturbing. My car has a full black paint job (really not hard to tell as anyone on here can) and yea I do like my fancy hood. So I guess I'm still talking crap about your bra.

Joeblow = "Paul Walker"

Joeblow, "I want more $$ races so I go for a sleeper look...".

If you're 35 and driving a 10 second street car, street racing, and acting like your a fictional character out of a movie, dude...



Get a job. Get a life. If not, buy back that civic and become "one of them".

I remember when I started here back in 06. Since I have been back working on my camaro and on these forums I have noticed a big change in the community. Mainly in the new members that have been joining (usually the members on here under 50 posts). I have just been noticing a lot of lies, wrong information or added information that doesnt pertain to the topic. I know we can't have everything, but honestly, the TGO forums are seeming more and more like IMPORT forums I have been in before. Just A LOT of pointless and utterly retarded lies of information being floated around.

TGO is known for some of the best TECH and INFORMATIONAL readings on the internet pertaining to our cars, and just lately I don't read any new threads because they are either pointless or completely retarded like this thread here of someone racing pinks but has absolutely nothing to show for it? Come on, a true TGO member would KNOW we want pictures and video and documentation of the happening. Thats what these forums are for, documented proof, correct analyzations, pictures of every angle, video of every sound. We must know everything to the Tee....and thats TGO and I'd like to keep it that way.

I guess Im just saying I finally understand why Senior members dislike newbies. When I came here in 06 I knew some information, all the newbies I have encountered lately are just dumb.

Now I understand there may be some truth to this story, but thats why we like proof, not here say, because then you get discredited for something that really happened and in the future NOBODY will care what you have to say about our cars and such because of this very hard to determine STORY from back in the day.

Also on another note, I hope a fellow 3rd gen owner and TGO supporter wouldn't lie, just to get him some credit in the community.

Also, think about this.

When you lie to someone, THEY MAY ALREADY KNOW THE TRUTH. In which was lieing even worth it, just to use another to get out of that one?

TGO is like a relationship, take care of it and it will take care of you. But lie and deceive it and it will do so right back. So lets fill this relationship (forum) with trust and companionship.

Take care everyone.

P.S. Rambling may be hard to understand, sorry if so.

Ih8 U hit the nail on the head. I am also a member of Team Camaro, & that site is full of people that know what they are talking about, & are respectfull. Dont get me wrong people here have been great too, but you can tell a huge diff in the way people carry them self's here. Worst part is when I see a post where someone needs help, & the person giving it, is just throwing out false info, in order to sound smart. If you dont know for sure, then dont open ur mouth to spread the disease.

I am 28 years old, and now own my 5th 3rd gen. I didn't even want to join this site at first, cause I kept seeing people argue like babys, about dumb stuff. Just seems like a lot of younger kids, that like to make soap opera's plague this site, as well as our cars. My ten cents.

joeblow

Well all I can say is when you lose the gay turbo hood and gambler rims(or whatever their called) and bring your car out of the 70's - 80's then come talk to me.

im not going to argue about who is a ***, but c'mon, leave the bras for women at least.

iTrader: (1)

Crap. All this bashing on bras sucks. Got one brand new for $5 on ebay. Yet to put it on, but why if one guy hates it, should I not put it on my car? Im still going to do it at least till I get a good paint job. Why all the car bashing anyways? Do what u want with your own car. Not like your conjoined twins, & have to share the same car. So what if the guy has to make up stuff to feel cool, But what does that have to do with a bra? He did get something right. The type of car he drives. See what your bs story has started now dude. I may not put the bra on now lol.

joeblow

If you have the bra put it on. I don't know why people are focused in on the bra. It's not like I'm touting it magical speed abilities or anything. It's there to disguise the car and make it look pedestrian and slow....that's it. Some people can never find anything nice to say and just have to nit pick about the stupidest things.

Sure the story sounds unbelievable but you can either choose to believe it or not. I do have a bill of sale for when he turned the car over to me. I'm not going to post it because it would do no good. As soon as I do everyone is going to say it's fake and you just made it up ....blah blah blah.

AGAIN for everyone that missed it before I do not have a stock 305 under the hood.

RED_DRAGON_85

i have one question:
do you have a stock 305 or did you "mod" it?
cause if its a stock 305, then lol.

joeblow

LOL. Yeah it's a stock L03, but where I got the biggest boost is when I put the tornado air in the throttle body and installed the leaf blower in the intake track. That probably dropped me into the low 8's in the 1/4.
