My point is, it's not that slow a car. Especially not compared to other cars from the same time. It's definitely faster than a fucking prius. Does he have some tacky tastless shit? Sure. It's not how I would have modded it. He does have some real performance mods on there too. Not enough IMO, but you do what you have the budget for. I wouldn't call headers and replacing the U-bend in the exhaust pointless mods as some in this thread have though. Those have been proven on the dyno to make HP.
The only reason you're defending him is because you feel some need to join him in your brotherhood of shitty GM products. Fuck, my old E30 was faster than your shit. Just shut the fuck up while you're behind!!!

No, I'm not actually defending him. I just think you guys are being total assholes. I've been in the scene and working on cars a long time. I've seen a lot of styles come and go, and seen tastes change. Mine have changed a lot over the years too. Biggest thing I've learned is everyone likes something different and you are never going to make everyone happy so you shouldn't try. You can only try to make yourself happy. Sure, you might end up making something tasteless, but sometimes you just have to learn on your own. The best thing to do if you don't like their car is be diplomatic. Comment on something they've done that looks good and then offer advice on something not so good or that they could have done better.

Anyway, you shouldn't mention "brotherhood of shitty products" and E30's in the same sentence. Some people might find that ironic.

I'll just throw my 2 cents in here. Those cars were decent family cars in the day and I know that they can be made fast however...that really means nothing in a "show" car. That being said, if you you really look at "show"details, the interior being redone is nice, but the reason average car makers have lots of smaller sections in their seats like the multiple rolls in the center sections of these is because it is WAY cheaper than 1 large skin that covers the entire area. If you really want to redo an interior you take out as many seams as possible and cover largest areas possible with 1 piece and no "break up" seams. In addition, the redone steering wheel is not exactly a high end job...it looks sloppy still.

Personally I can not stand the painted dash either, but that is a personal preference and many judges like it....

Are the door handles grey?? or is that the camera angle? It's the little details like making the door handles match as well, etc, that really set off the interior.

Congratulations on the trophy and as long as you like it, thats what matters.

well this "Shitty GM product" walked a 2004 Dodge Neon SRT Turbo last night *Gasp!* which is the same shitty car you drive....
Anyone who was at street heat last night saw that also for those Honda fans walked one of your Hatchbacks last night. Red one the Faggot driving it said "You beat me and ill pop your tires" So I fully understand how serious you honda owners can be. All time high for maturity level.

No, I just couldn't give two craps what you think about my car so I asked you to shut your hole, because no one gives a crap about your stupid opinions.

For your first comment, see my shared_user title.....Faggot...

Second, E30's are some of the better old school cars made. Hands down. It's ten times better than that family sedan you're trying to make fast. Sorry, but E30's will always be better no matter what. GM's quality has been, and always will be shitty. There is no denying it. So YOU shut your shit before it gets stomped in.

Congrats, you raced a kid who's a fucking ricer. Just look at the fucking emblem on the back. I'm also assuming he is a shitty fucking driver considering your 15 second "show" car beat him. When I come back in December I'll show you what's up and you can tell me how my rear bumper looks.

Btw, winning by what was probably half a car isn't "walking" anyone. Just shut the fuck up. You're annoying and you're fucking stupid. It shows every time you post.
