I don't have it anymore, I have gone through about 10 phones. I always have them in my back pocket and crush them when I sit down. Pm me your number and I'll hit you up once I am there.

I don't really bash decent imports anymore. I've won and lost many races to imports. Usually you can tell if it's a ricer or not by how they act. If they're super cocky about their 1988 Honda civic with an 8" exhaust tip that sounds like crap, and faded/chipped paint they're usually a ricer...

Before my cam/heads/stall swap, I lost to a modded 2010 WRX sti. After he won, he didn't brag or put his hazards on. He just said "nice car, i've always wanted one." and off he went.

This guy that wants to race you sounds like he has some work done, but he also sounds like a tool. Check out his car before the race.

I drive an lsx car but i do know alot about imports as well. A k20 is a 2.0 liter dohc motor derived from and acura rsx type s or a honda crv. It makes 200 to 210 hp stock at the flywheel. Fully built id guesstimate anywhere over 240 at the flywheel. You have to consider a hatch weighs considerably les than an fbody....anywhere from 600 to 800 lbs. It will be a good race. Bring your a game joe and you should be fine. But dont underestimate people lol.

Why is it that in just about every post Joe makes he says he is drunk, on his way to getting drunk, or wants to get drunk. Sounds like someone has a drinking problem to me.

yes, and he thinks all V8's have single cams and head(s) are for imports.

or imports have cams with dual heads and over heads attached to them....

Lol I didn't realize that people were keeping up with my posts. Damn. I guess I do drink a lot and then I always end up on the computer. Maybe I'll quit getting on here while I'm drunk. Besides, I'm still young so I gotta get it all in before I get married or have kids.

imlooking: Idk why you're so upset. Or why you think I'm so ignorant. I made a stupid joke. Either laugh it off, or disreguard it. If you wanted to comment, that's fine, but quit acting like I'm a ******* retard.

I just got back from the shop after installing the clutch. I haven't raced yet. He wants me to go to some car meet tonight to race, but I got plans at 8. I told him I wanted to go at like 6.
