How to Be a Street Racer

General Life Guide

'Import Car'

So, you’ve watched ‘The Fast and the Furious’ eight times, and you live by Dominc’s famous words, “I live my life a quarter-mile at a time, in those ten seconds or less I am free,” you are a bonified street racer. If you’re fat please don’t confuse this life motto with, “I live my life a quarter-pounder at a time, no lettuce or tomato and french fries for free,” you’re just a bonified fat ****.
Anyways, before you go blowing your cash on a fixed-up Honda, Nissan, or Acura, take a look in your own garage first. If you own any type of imported vehicle, you can be a street racer! You don’t need a fast car; all you need is some stickers, sweet driving skills and a little imagination.

Driving Techniques

First, let’s discuss how to properly drive your imported vehicle. Even if your import has a stock engine, you can’t let anybody else know this. Although people rarely know the difference, a little mystery will help your image. Driving your vehicle properly is imperative. Think of the street cred points you would lose if you drove just like every other Average Joe? Here are some driving tips that are sure to get you the reputation you deserve:

ALWAYS drive fast, even if the next stoplight is only 500 feet away.

Try to secure the front spot when waiting at a stoplight. Make sure your front end is all up in the pedestrian crosswalk to let everyone know who is boss.

If you cannot secure the front spot, be sure to stop behind a car that has a higher probability of driving fast. For example: If you are faced with the decision of either stopping behind a Dodge Caravan or a Ford Focus, choose the Focus even if you are almost at a stop already. Cutting people off makes them realize how fast and powerful your car is.

When driving in traffic: One word. Weave. Always try to get in front of people who are blocking your way to VTEC happiness. If someone refuses to heed to your Japanese balls of steel, drive about one foot behind them. This is international car talk for “Please move your vehicle when possible”. If somebody honks at you, it is not because you are driving recklessly; it is simply horns of applause at your aggressive, talented driving.

When you see a Mustang GT or SRT-4 on the freeway, casually pass them and put on your hazards on, signifying your win. Immediately go home and post on your favorite internet car forum that you raped a Mustang on the freeway. Then masturbate to the thought of your 4-cylinder naturally aspirated monster destroying an eight cylinder with low HP per liter, realizing that at sexual release, only the feeling of going into VTEC is better than jizzing in your hand. Don’t forget to wipe it up with your sock!

Car Image

The image of your car is important to you as a street racer. Without it, you are nothing. Image is MUCH more important than what is actually under the hood. Here are some simple steps that enhance your bragging Horse Power (numbers you don’t need to worry about, just know it makes your car fast in Honda land):

Step 1 - Lower your car: all street racers have lowered cars, without it, you might as well be driving a Yugo.
+ 5 Horse Power

Step 2 - Body kit - Be sure to have a body kit on your import.If you can’t afford one, make it out of cardboard. If you can, don’t worry about painting it, this is not important to your street racing image.
+ 10 Horse Power

[ Extra Horse Power if your car has a primered body kit with a painted car and you leave it like that for 6 months or more. + 2 extra Horse Power]

Step 3 - Carbon-Fiber anything: Carbon-Fiber makes your car lighter and faster.
+ 5 Horse Power

Step 4 - Spoiler: The bigger, uglier, more obnoxious the better. A well-placed spoiler SCREAMS “Street Racer”.
+ 7 Horse Power

Step 5 - If you are a girl: be sure to show your Honda power with a pink, flowery sticker that says “Powered By [Your name here]” or better yet, “Powered By *****.”
+ 2 Horse Power

[Again, + 2 Horse Power more if the sticker color does not match your car at all]

Step 6 - Muffler tip: Don’t waste your time doing your entire exhaust system. No street racer knows the difference anyways. Just go to your local muffler shop and pick up a 3 inch muffler tip. Sound is perhaps the most important aspect of your import.
+ 10 Horse Power

FYI: Don’t have time/can’t afford a muffler tip? That’s OK! Just get a drill and put a golf-sized hole in your muffler. Works just as well! + 4 Horse Power

Step 7 - Stickers: Stickers on your car enhance and add the much-desired Horse Power. They can be from anywhere, your local muffler shop, body shop, or the sticker from your favorite radio station. + 1 Horse Power for every sticker.

Step 8 - Car Color: If you are Mexican, make sure some kind of neon color makes it onto your import. No need for professional paint, spray paint will do.
+ 10 Horse Power

Step 9 - Your Nationality: Being short and Asain with spiky black hair gives you even more street cred…if you are ready to handle the attention, bleach the tips of your hair and bust out your Linkin Park/Jay-Z “Collision Course” CD + 10 Horse Power

Step 10 - Tagging your Acura as a Honda: There is no greater sign of greatness in the import world. If you live in the U.S., tagging your Acura as a Honda gives you the BIGGEST penis on the block! You see, in Japan, Acuras are Hondas.
+ a billion Horse Power

Pre-Racing/ Getting someone to race you:

Step 1 - Get in behind them and flash your brights, this is international car talk for “Would you like to eat my dust?”

Step 2 - When coming to a stoplight, intimidate your opponent by revving and rolling down your window to shout mild racing obscenities such as:
# “Your mom goes to college!”
# “Where did you get that spoiler?! The toilet store?!”
# ” I slept with your girlfriend last night!”
# “I put my wiener in your sister’s mouth last night!”

Racing

Honk 3 times, and on the 3rd honk, place the pedal to the metal.

Winning/ Losing

Whether you win or lose, let your opponent know who they’re dealing with:

If you win, get in front of them and flash your hazards. This is international car talk for ” Oh snap, I kicked your ***, you stupid *****.”

If you lose, drive off with your head held high and don’t let them see you cry. Talk **** about them to your friends saying it doesn’t matter and thier car was a piece of **** anyways, and if you had a better launch you would have won.

Final Thoughts on the Street Racing Life

To finalize your life as a street racer, you must dabble in all aspects of street racing life. For example, you could visit the online Honda Forums daily or stop watching porn and look at live streaming videos of real Japanese Nissan Skylines,those down-and-dirty Toyota Supras or God’s own chariot the Integra Type-R. Whatever it is, remember to always live life a quarter mile at a time.The Link (http://www.dovforums.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=3676&page=1#Item_0)

Good points indeed!!!

There is a difference between working/wrenching on your "ride" and slapping some stickers and a coffee can exhaust on it. I see countless "ricers" with unpainted ground effects on them as mentioned in the post. My opinion: if you can't afford to go all the way, don't do it at all. Why buy the ground effects kit if you can't afford to have it painted to match your vehicle??

Exhausts: these kids are the same ones that come on here asking which one is the loudest one for their 400ex.

Don't forget about the driving techniques that are mentioned in there too--for the most part true.

Future street rodders: unfortunately your probably right because these vehicles are what are affordable for the younger generation. Not too many young ones can afford Mustangs, Vette's, GTOs, or Chargers.

In a few years i truley beleive v-8 will out the window . I know i cant tune a car with a laptop. These kids with unpainted ground effect prolly spent all there cash on those body kits and saving up for paint. Heck what the diffrence between that and someone primering a camero and driving it around ? The exhaust thing works both ways i have worked on a few cameros and the cut the mufflers off just to be loud and to me it sounds like crap . I dont hate the import generation because they work hard to spend money on there car . Heck i wish i could take a 120hp motor turn it into a 250 hp and still get great fuel mileage . Its there cars so next time give the m a lil respect .
I lived by this motto when i was building trucks for shows when i was younger

We have become part of something much more complicated than you or I will ever fully comprehend. We build more than just trucks... we build friendships, we build futures, we build our dreams. We drive our trucks low and hold our heads high because we have an unwritten and unspoken agreement that we will live life to the fullest and never fall victim to 'the norm'. Others laugh at us when we spend hours on end working on our trucks, yet shake our hands when we are done."

they are not wrenching on their cars, as said in teh first post, nothing it done to the motor other than a fart can exhaust and a cold air intake. there is a huge difference between working on a car and what ricers do to them.

ricers think their little civic is the fastest thing on four wheels and it kill me when they say that they waxed a stang or camaro in a race. (btw, an SRT-4 is domestic rice)

street rodders??? those little cars are nowhere close to a hot rod. but like 54warrior said, they pimp out their moms civic sedan because they cannot afford a Mustang, camaro, or vette. i absolutly hate rice.

Many statements are true about the ricer mentality. Just about every vehicle I see that is riced out (lowered, Folgers can, stickers, big ol’ tach), they seem to all drive like idiots. It pisses me off cause they are constantly weaving all over the road, trying to race anything, and just out right obnoxious. Just about every stereotype there is about them, I see daily. There are very few Jap cars I respect.

what cars did the street rodders fix up years ago same cars mom and dads drove . Who came up with chanelling cars and chopping tops rodders did . Like i said before im not a rice fan but what is the diffrence between putting a flowmaster on mustang and they thing there god . You canhate em all you want but there doing the same thing rodders did back in the day lowering and hopping motors up . I have built alot of cameros up for young kids down here and let me tell you they think that exhaust and air intake theres nothing that touch them. So whats the diffrence between them becasue its a civic and not a so called muscle car .

04-03-2007, 10:12 AM
i use my car what it was made for. going to work, and running around.

I have seen a few ricers come along my way and my car is not fast by any means and i still beat them pretty bad. I alwasy beat them before i reach the speed limit and then they always want t pass me to feel like they won the race..lol

i got nothing against the people that actually work on their cars and improve the ride. the article was about the poeple who pretend they modify their car for performance and have to prove to normal people on the street.

In my experiences the ones with the actual fast import that handles well do not drive like that on the street, and nor are they flasshy and annoying.

04-03-2007, 10:29 AM
the fast cars are not on the street. There is nothing on the street that is worth talking about IMO (when talking about speed)

infact i did it to a porsche the other day... he came up and started messin with me and he didn't have a chance! people really need to learn when their car is not fast and what is faster then it...

I agree with that but i understand if you cant afford a full race car and you build it while you drive also . Anything can be modded into a fun ride . I took a spin in a old bug the other day with a turbod motor ohh my god the hp to weight ratio was insane. My race car weighs in at 2400 with fuel and driver and ive got 600hp . I dont care what it is if theres work put into a ride i respect it even if not my style i can respect the work put into it .

Never had a crotch rocket, probably never will. Heck, I've never even ridden one. Like you say Tom: I at least know that no car stands any chance against one.

As far as learning when something is faster than something else, alot of the time it's common sense. Alot of times it requires research.

Here is my example:

This is a picture of a car like my parents owned when I was a teenager. A 1999 Buick Regal GSE. Certainly, it looks your sterotypical grocery getter. This car was faster than about 80% of the other cars out there at the time though.

3.8L V6, Supercharged, Traction Control, 240 HP.

I surprised many ricers and even a few Camaro's in this thing. I had it to 130 once and that was fast enough for me. I had to take it to college for the week one time. It was truly amazing what this FWD will do when the Traction Control is turned off!!!

I'd believe it when I see it-Harley yes, GXR, CBR, R1, etc-NO. I drove an Evo 8 2 years ago and will state without a doubt it was fast, not faster than a crotch rocket though.

hey everyone, lets get on an internet forum and argue about imports, and motorcycles and whos faster and why your moms are whores. anyway, it was just a joke. just like every other forum on here that gets started and its main goal is to poke fun. Get over it. ITS A F ING JOKE YOU TOOLS.......... if you dont like then dont read the god damn thread. F HEAD. PS. i thought it was pretty funny..haha

ok, say what you want about bikes vs. cars, heck i wouldnt know anything about riding crotch rockets...:rolleyes:

There was a srt-4 neon that was MURDERING the squids with there new 600's - and even some 1000's from about a 50mph roll, i saw it with my own eyes. Bikes are not THAT fast when compared to a car that is built to actually get it.

remember, you are lucky to run a 7.0 1/8 mile on ANY stock streetbike...

im sure everyone that believes bikes are ungodly fast, also believe the idiots that talk about riding their busas over 200mph...:o there is alot of misconception, and plain misinformation going on with this thread.

I didn't inteed for this to be a import vs muscle car vs street bike thread. it was something funny I read.

Find a muscle car joke and I will read it. you just don't see them.

Its true I would say 85% of the civics on the road are stock with a loud fing exhaulst and a broken primer body kit.

IMO if you do not have the money to paint then don't put it on.


as for the street bike. it take s avery high horsepower car to beat a street bike. I have only seen 1 "street legal car" beat a hybusa. It was a late 60s Nova with I have no idea how much HP.

I love imports, im not afraid to admit it. I know where you guys are comming from with the honda civics like the stupid loud exhaust pipe with the 1.5 sohc. I have a few friends that have imports like my one friend that has a civic hatch and he runs 12 without nitrous. I dont know about you but 12 second is pretty damn good for a 4 cylinder car. Or my other friend with a integra that runs low 12s too and he can tune it to make it run 11s. I think that it is amazing that a car with half the engine size of a american muscle can be even or even faster. Dont get me wrong i love american muscle but i think in a few years there are going to be very few v8 on the roads just because of gas and prices for parts.
But very funny post lol

IMO ppl just don't know how to drive a rear wheel drive...nor have the money for a nice car. You can pic up a civic for $500. I don't see any older muscle cars going for that much;)

bugati veyron. 253 MPH stock.


well hate ta say it but the $70,000 Z06 is every bit as fast as the $250,000 ford GT. faster lap times, and same 1/4 mile times stock for stock.

but i do agree with firefighterjosh. most people now adays are just so used to FWD cars, they do not know how to drive a RWD. an old muscle car can be as fast as your civic through the twisties, it jsut takes someone who know how to drive a RWD, as it requires a different driving style than a FWD does. sometimes you just gotta go balls to the walls and let the rear end hang out a bit in the corners.

I was just be sarcastic just hard to tell on the net.:p

If FWD handled so much better then nascar/GT cars/ Modifieds....ect would all be front

04-04-2007, 06:56 PM
I dont think its as much as what tires drive the cars. Its more the suspension. Most American cars are still on leaf springs, which were used back in the medieval times. While most Euro cars have modern suspension, and brakes.

Stop deleting yer posts I am trying to respond.:p

Like the post you just deleted you stated you where saying your 300ZZ top matchbox car could beat Mustang GTs. Then you stated it was to prove a point to the GT guys. IMO yes GTs are slow POS's. BUt that dosen't make yours fast. If you can beat a GT mustang with your car whoo hoo more power to ya. There slow I know rangers that can beat them with minor mods ;)

Thats why i gave you a cookie....oreos are good too
