There's a difference between building a ride and ricing up a ride. I will choose the first. If I ever do another build it won't be riced out with stupid shit like red interior, or red decals and special Exxon mobile Air for my tires to add 32133223hp and 333243e432e4 miles for snow racing.


Welcome to TR. The ricing sub forum is down the block. Make a quick left and find yourself near Honda Tech. Sit back and relax. Enjoy the show.

Just wanted to bring attention back to this. A lot of show cars use this technique of using a wall of text to make a car look extensively modified, luckily people that are into these sorts of show cars have near-lethal cases of ADD, so they never take the time to read these.

Replacing the brake pads, tie rod ends, economy tires and carpet is not a mod. A powder coated blower and a powder coated supercharger is not two mods. Pointing out individually coated parts to make your mod list longer is a stretch in itself. Describing the stock engine and seats are also not mods.
The people in this thread who are defending "all the hard work that went into this" obviously didn't read that 2/3 of the mod list is maintenance items, a list of painted stock stuff, and parts that can be installed by Wal-Mart service attendants (floor mats, steering wheel cover, "extremely rare" stock wheels).

Seriously, though, trophies for the top 20? Do the spectators get medals?
