I know more about sports & race cars than probably any single one of you. No. And an RX-7 is not a sports car, it's a sports coupe. And most cars raced with the SCCA are not sports cars.Simple really. cheers, scott
Hey! Where are the images of the MGB or MG Midget?

Well, the Midget is a rebodied Sprite, so I got that one covered and after years of intensive research, British scientists have discovered that the MGB is in fact a tractor and not a car at all. Who knew?

kdfalk, I wanna drive your car. I'm in CA. I live next to Willow Springs(what a coincidence). Track time is cheap. I have never lost it in turn 9 but I have a couple time going over turn 6.
Oh Snap!! I just realised my truck is VIP. It has curtains and pillows

You, Sir, are too cruel. Now I gotta go out and trash this 1965 tractor cause it aint a sports car
There's a guy that lives near my father-in-law that has this nice, old, sprawling 2 story brick house on a corner that my wife and I have always liked. In years past, he had a rubber-bumpered, BRG MGB and Sandi and I would joke that we'd buy the house if they'd throw in the car. Then about two years ago he sold the BRG MGB and bought a chrome bumpered red MGB, and even though I hate red cars, I began to think, "I don't know who this guy is, but I want his life". Then last year he parked a red MGB GT next to the red MGB and now I'm looking for online sources for unregistered firearms because it's just too much to be resisted.
Long story non-sequitered, British tractors>>>>>>>>>>Japanese curtains.
cheers, scott

Wouldn't putting FI and a new manifold on a sprite cost less than turboing a miata? I mean, you're essentially doing the same amount of work, only without a turbo. Is the manifold super expensive or something?
There's not a lot of point of doing much more than larger SU's or a single Weber on an A-series until you replace the non-crossflow head, and those aren't cheap. Most A-series tuning consists of mild porting of the head and big (relatively speaking) capacity increases.
cheers, scott

Sports car or not, that's fuckin' SEXY.
Though I can't help but question whether it should be in a thread that reeks of faggotry worse than Richard Simmons lubing up Liberace with Crisco. It's just not right.

Agreed, I much prefer Alfa's GT cars (in this case a Gran Turismo Alleggerita) to their proper sports cars.
Though I can't help but question whether it should be in a thread that reeks of faggotry worse than Richard Simmons lubing up Liberace with Crisco. It's just not right.
It started funny for the first 6 pages or so, but I think it needs all the threadjacking it can get now.
cheers, scott

I knew Scott would chime in with the purist sports car reach-around.
I agree with him about what is and is not a sports car, however I was trying to drop the topic.

Maybe I should give the Volvo the VIP treatment. Other than the fact that the 9-series wagon used the exact same chassis as the former flagship 7-series wagon, it's got no badge engineering on it (only part bigger than a bolt shared with the "base" 240 is the rear two-pot calipers). There's nothing like the Swedish austere approach to luxury. cheers, scott honestly, if you don't throw a twin turbo v8 into it, it would just be a shame NOT to VIP that car seriously, wtf not? see, if you drop some tassel love on the rear view mirror, you can put some tint stripes on the windshield in a half-circle, centered at the rear view mirror. then when you pitch it into a turn and it is rocking the fierce volvo lean, you can use the tint stripes and where the tassel dangles as a ghetto low budget g-meter--or worse, a straight up lean meter. write at dead center: you playin'. write all the way at the sides: nigga you ballin it nigga, roll dat thang! civicbooty: as long as you aren't armenian in so cal, or any kind of asian here, you'll be most obscured from police attention in the RL (because it's a piece of shit fwd v6 crapfest), and then the q. the bmw will get you pulled over simply due to applicable profilng: armo and asian drivers in cheap ass bmw's drive like morons. side note: just loaded the dreaded cobb stg 2 map back onto my car, since i have a full exhaust again. omg it's gonna blowed up! er, no, not really i'm thinking of leaving the car as is, since i can sell the AP for nearly what i paid for it, and the exhaust will draw similar amounts, assuming i don't rally between now and december. related note: someone please stop me from driving is350's. a/c seats, some balls, and the fact that it looks good in white are starting to make me forget it doesn't come in stick
RL IT IS, I DONT CARE THAT ITS A anti performance V6 FWD, I am not buying a new car for the performance hahah Im buying it to look like i gotz $$$$$$(end sarcastic tone) hahaha LOL man all you f-ing haters are ghey
his car is dope and the tassles and pillow and curtains are all minor, and you wont even see it unless your in the damn car cause that shit is soo tinted out... so why hate? not like you actually have to go inside his fucking car retards...
i said it in the last post i will say it again
minus the tassel, pillow and magazine, Very dope ride, aside for the minor things mentioned but again THATS JUST MINOR...
im looking to get a big body sedan myself cause the sport compact profiling out here is getting ridicules... i dont have many mods and its going to stay that way but damn do i draw alot of attention from cops and my car is very lightly modded and very simple and clean
Im going to find myself a 2001 acura Rl... or a 2001 BMW 530i or my last option, the q45...
personly im just going to lower it, put some rims on it , and tint the sucker... but thats pretty much it... well unless i get teh 530i then i would love to have the m5 bumpers on there... or the 540 sport bumpers... and of course the newschool mesh rims (not the oldschool mesh style looking ones)
if this thread still has some life left in it im sure ppl are going to start flaming the idea of m5 bumpers on the 530 but so what, it looks cool so FU & GTFO! What went through your head when you chose your user name? "Let's see...HotBoi69Civic...XxXCivicXxX...damn, everything is taken...oh what about civicbooty in all lowercase? Success!!" Honestly who gives a fuck about minor? They're there and in poor taste. Fuck off, stupid. Also, making a 530i look like an M5 is a crime punishable by BMW snob death. Even the circle jerkers on bimmerforums won't appreciate that.
UH STFU AND GTFO i dont care what BMW SNOBS THINK I WANT MY CAR TO LOOK THE WAY I WANT IT TO and civicbooty, only cause civicduty was already takenOnce again, putting m5 bumpers on a car that isn't an m5 is trying to make your car something its not. Why are there so many posers in this thread? not trying to make it look like an m5, i wouldnt even bother debadging a 525 or a 530 if i did put m5 bumpers on the car, m5 bumpers just look better IMO

<2200 lbs curb weight + GT-S motor + rwd = hawtness
<2200 lbs curb weight + aftermarket boost - some reliability + rwd = awesomeness/possible s2k and lotus elise killer
I'd be in line for either one of them @ the stealership.

I still don't understand why they didn't release a version with the Celica GT-S motor and make a poor man's Elise. I think it would have sold better, at least to enthusiasts.
You an me both. I'm not a smart sports car kinda guy, specially when they have 140 hp. But give it 180, and things change a bit.

Since you fuckwads (some of you) think you know so much about what a "sports car" is, please explain how cars like 911, Panoz Esperante, Corvette, etc are racing in ALMS "SPORTS CAR RACING".
Here, sure you could fill the ALMS in on their wrongful ways. Eat it.
http://americanlemans.com/assets/pdfs/SportsCarRacingandLeMans.pdf
Historic Sports Car Racing, note is says SPORTS CAR http://www.hsrrace.com/
Grand Touring (from the Italian word Gran Turismo) racing is the most common form of SPORTS CAR racing
Oh noez, more SPORTS CAR RACING! B b b b b but, they have ROOFS!!!!
I know, I know, I'm a drooling idiot without a clue. I'm not going to name drop all the professional racers I've met at work, at the track or talked with on the phone & emailed, but it's a good bunch of them.
On that note, I removed my tassel today and replaced it with one of these, except I didn't pay $100 for mine, I went to the fabric store and spent $3 on some black rope & made my own:

Oh, and in Le Mans, LMP cars don't have roofs. It's the GT1 and GT2 cars that do.
Err, there *are* closed roof LMP cars. Remember the Bentley Speed 8, the 2003 24HdM LMP1 winner? Or the Mercedes CLR? Or the Porsche 911 GT1? The reason for the decline in the fixed roof cars are because of rules favoring the open roof cars, not because they're not allowed. In fact, they're explicitly allowed in the rules

You do realize the GT in their class designation stands for Grand Touring right? Just because its a race car doesn't mean its a sports car. Fuck, people race pickup trucks and motorcycles too, does that make them sports cars too? Go fuck yourself.
I know, I know, I'm a drooling idiot without a clue.
First truthful thing you've said.
I'm not going to name drop all the professional racers I've met at work, at the track or talked with on the phone & emailed, but it's a good bunch of them.
AND OMG NO WAY YOU WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT SELLS SHIT AND MEET RACE CAR DRIVERS EVERY DAY!!!11! OMG SO JEALOUS!!oneQ!! Do you drive them around in your Q and show them the real VIP treatment with your leopard pillows and VIP magazines? 5 dolla before you make 'em holla? It must be nice being in customer service, answering those phone calls, stocking shelves, and handling tough questions like "Will the red harness match my new black APC seats?" and "Do you have driving suits in leopard print to match my icy-hawt VIP race-kaa?"
