S'all good. I'd have locked already if I had a problem with it. I'm just not sure if I should be laughing with you or at you.

Just like your post.....

jk.

Well they are =P I guess I'm just tired of hearing people talking about racing and making their cars super fast. I'd rather people stopped racing and making the roads dangerous for me.

People racing who aren't really good at it = Insurance rates going up for me. And no offense to you guys, but I hate paying a lot for car insurance...

No offense to you guys or anything, but I really doubt anybody here actually knows how to race very well at all. If you're racing, go to an actual racetrack and race there.

i drive a 1994 dodge caravan. it's not bad. as soon as my sister's boyfriend gets his car fixed (he's borrowing it for now) i'm going to jazz it up, put a strobe light in, and make it a hippie bus. i can't afford a microbus.

yeah, good luck casey, but really, everybody else, i understand to a point tuning up your cars and all, but unless it's for a good point, why really waste money like that?.....Iuno...I guess I just don't see the point of adding more horsepower to a car that doesn't really need it for no reason. I'm just the kinda conventional "If I like how it looks and it gets me from point A to point B, I don't really care"

Hmm, all i care about is handling...power is relativley meaningless to me.

well considering the first thing I bought for my car were those tires, I'm not trying to UP my HP yet. And its not a matter of 'bolting on' HP adding products like an air filter or exaust, I'm doing actual work to the engine to allow the air through it to flow better, resulting in better cooling and more power. I'm not trying to get some ricer exaust to make a go fast car, I'm actually doing tuning enhancements, like new head, more aggressive cams, new high flow genie header, etc.

edit: My car already also has a suspension with ultra light rims, so that part is taken care of. After the tires, the engine/exaust setup is all that is left to increase the performance on, which obviously didn't get top priority.

Because you deliver tofu.

Oh, and catbacks are required to run in the D1GP. Also, you have to have them in most other states because they do emissions testing.

do you realize what you just said? catback = larger piping from the catalytic converter to a muffler. since when do you have to have an aftermarket exhaust to do emissions testing?
