Whatsup newb here-rockin a hot CL!

[Katana18]

Hey guys, new to the forums. I actually live in Orlando, but go to Tampa every now and again and wanna check out the scene there. Heres some pics of my car-

http://home.earthlink.net/~cl30cl/tampa040626/tampameet10.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~cl30cl/tampa040626/tampameet12.jpg


Basically, a 97 CL. 19inch C3's, Blowjax Air suspension, Custom NSX blue paint job, (used to be white), Shaved side moldings, trunk,and windshield washers. Molded a Wings West lip to front bumper. Also a Panasonic 7 inch flip up DVD, 2 7inch headrest monitors, 15 flip down screen, Viper LCD pager, ZEX 75 shot, etc etc, all kinda stuff. So thats it, where do you guys usually meet at on wkdns to do any shows/races?

[FifteenEighty]

like the paint... but its pretty dam rice

[Katana18]

:rofl: hows it rice? i have no graphics, no huge benchpark wing, no neons, and its clean! Tell me how its rice.

[Topless T/A]

yes I would also haveto clarify that as rice...can't tell you why, cuse it doesn't have huge wings/stickers/etc, but when I look at it all that comes to mind is "rice"

anyways welcome to the site i guess (magic suck)

[Katana18]

haha, thats funny, no one has ever said my car was rice except for here. Everyone who i've talked to in the past has said its super clean, even the 'anti-rice'. oh well, to each their own opinions i guess.

[shalane]

wtf is up with the back wheels

[KrazyInKamo]

negative camber on the rear.. is that what your talkin bout shalane?

[shalane]

yes but why the fuck would someone do that. that looks rediculous

[KrazyInKamo]

the negative camber also wears tires out horribly not to mention it's horrible suspension... it's suppose to Grip really well around a track.. lmao...

yeah but who cares about all that when it's got the thuggish ruggish low ride height? :roll: :lol:

The paint is nice though.

[Katana18]

thuggish ruggish ride height :haha: its only that low when its parked. When i drive, its actually a little higher than stock, i just lift it up. And for people that dont know, an air suspension is not for the track. Also, unless you drive really low, it doesnt wear out tires any faster than normal. The way my car is in the pic, you cant even drive it, you couldnt turn the wheel.

[Blueboost]

its nice for the "pimpin G'ride" look if thats your thing. I can't hate on it, im personally just focused on performance over looks. but looks are important and on that note NICE paint! I like the rims also, but cambers like woh!

[suprapimpa]

I like it alot, nice car man :)

[FifteenEighty]

rice = all show no go
but for that gangsta thugg look its iight

[Keith]

Again, im'not goin for a gangsta thug look. That'd be a box chevy on 22's. Im goin for a clean and simple look.

Rice= Big wings
Huge spoilers on FWD cars
Lighted windshield washers
Neons
Big body kits (mostly left unpainted)
Altezza lights

etc etc. I do have some go (i/h/e) and the ZEX, but its mostly for show.

[mikeyees13]

Paint is nice! But the suspension and 19inch wheels just aren't for me.

+1 on that.

[DaniellaRella]

:wave: love the color. With all the shit talking aside, i bet your car pulls the ladies.

oh yea i know i know lol. Just funny he's trying to tell me something and cant even spell it.

[pressuredsol]

Nice car man, I do not think it is rice. Just a different look for a racing site. I will be moving to O-Town soon.

Anyway, welcome to the site. Not a route I would have gone, but at least the car is clean and the work looks to be well done.

Try www.TampaPosers.com

[BlowncobraGirl]

Why do you guys have to be so mean to the noobz? :dunno:

[Katana18]

damn, feelin a lotta hate on this site. Is that how they do it in Tampa? Just because you dont 'approve' of the car i drive, you wanna send me to 'tampaposers' :roll: I might not have the fastest car on here, but i can hold my own. My style might differ from yours, but thats no need for all the hatin thats been going on in this thread. For the people that gave positive comments, thanks. As for the others....i'm sorry that either your or your car are so inadequate that you have to put others down.

[BlowncobraGirl]

Ignore them. I think your car is nice, it's very clean, and it doesn't look like every other import around. How old are you?

[DaniellaRella]

I guess we are Ricers cause we like it, Elisa;)

[dan]

hey its CLonair. hehe. i recognize you from OF. i saw your car at the meet last wed. definately looks nice and the color is something similar to what i'd like to have on my car if i went all out on it.

don't sweat the haters. i agree it's okay to bash the actual ricers, but your car isnt rice. its show. but show and rice are 2 different things. they think just because its tampaRACING means that if you aren't here for RACING, you're a ricer. (i will object at certain attention whores who just post cuz their gf/bf is here though lol)

take it easy, man. i'm thinking of heading back to orlando on wed - the meet is way better (even with the crap that goes on) than anything tampa has put together lately.

[Keith]

ok, seriously this is the one and ONLY warning... no more of this shit... you have hazed this kid enough... he seems to be cool... give him a chance...

About the haters, what do you expect? You have a nice looking car but it doesn't look like much of a track car and this is www.TampaRACING.com

If it don't make it go fast then expect a little harmless grief.

Just an observation. No big deal really.

[Katana18]

I understand its tamparacing, and i expected a little hazing, so no big deal. Like i said i got all the basic bolt ons, and a 75 shot, but the real fun is in the works.

The car is going to undergo a H22a swap from a prelude. also will have all the internals built, since a FMAX kit will make its way on to the car. Right now im' just waiting on some sponsors to get back to me and let me know where we stand.

[RARA]

hey i'd take your car.....then i'd post some pics of me fuckin some hot lil 18 yr old groupie bitch with fake graduation titties bent over the hood on here and let all the insecure bashers hate on me too of how much of a dirty whore i am.....hehe

[tampamax]

Welcome to the board mang. I think you have a real clean ride there. Its just that when you leave it slammed it looks like its squatting to take a shit. The lines of the car are all skewed if you take it too low. If it was left at a nice clean ride height people wouldn't offer up there negative opinions so much on here. The rice part comes from the old and waaaay played out show scene were EVERYONE had to slam the vehicle as low as possible, thus garnering the conatation "rice".

Pump up the bags to within an inch or 3 below stock ride height and nobody could say one bad thing about the car. Enjoy your stay here.

[StR8ChiLLiN]

your from otown? i think a friend willy was actually takling about your car, yada yada

anyways - i love it, id drive it in a heart beat!
