no respect!

[CRAZIECRACKER]

bottom line is....

hyundais will never get the respect from people that dont own a hyundai

i go to the races every weekend where everyone meets up and hangs out. roughly 20 cars. hondas with apc pipes and aem intakes get respect but not me, and my mods are endless compared to them! cool.

im done with this ****, ive been a ricer ever since my first car at 15... crx

so, im in the process of buying a 91 crx for my project car... its 3900 bucks. vtec, owned and rebuilt by my buddy. intake, 55 shot of nitrous, just painted black. full 2.5" exhaust with greddy muffler and dc headers. accel wires. its definetly a sick car...ricer done right!

im definetly getting back into the ricer/underground street racing world.so now, my bike, my hyundai, and my soon to be crx will fill my empty holes!

[KeWLKaT]

Erm, ok. Have fun? If ''respect from the street'' is what gets you hard, I guess it's ok to go ahead and spend 4k$ + plates and gas for a car that impresses other people and not yourself?

[2002 GLS]

boo, stick with the hyundai, impress them with that! build it!!!!

[KeWLKaT]

You don't understand, Jesse lives his life a quarter mile at a time. FWD Japs are the fastest cars, fool.

for those 3 minutes, hes free.

:D

bottom line is....

Guess having your license back was just too much fun? lol

bottom line is....

fill my empty holes!

:abovelol:

[Pete03GLS]

i think a better choice of word would have been "void" instead of holes... lol....

[2loud2k2xd]

You don't understand, Jesse lives his life a quarter mile at a time. FWD Japs are the fastest cars, fool.

ha ha ha, i live my life one corner at a time. lol

fak what ppl think. i had no problem getting "respect" w/my ride at car shows, bass comps, or even at the auto x events and 1/4 mile tracks.

[KeWLKaT]

So what's this underground rice racing thing?

Do you guys drive around with your civics driving under semi trailers and then stealing their cargo?

Or will you be selling guns and drugs and asian prostitutes?

[Pete03GLS]

lmfao... u guys ****in crack me up

[cbogg]

So what's this underground rice racing thing?

No, they put bodykits on, paint them "road crew shirt" lime green, walmart spinner hubcaps, take the muffler off, put on an old coffee can, take the springs out so it's nice and low, then go talk **** to people who don't have hondas. That's badass yo lol

[Pete03GLS]

hey man,... dont forget about those uber awesome spring clamps. them ****s is LEGIT YOOOOOO!!!!

[Cypher]

Alot of this "respect" comes from how the owner of the car acts. I've never had problems with anyone dis-respecting my car because everyone I know/meet quickly finds out that I'm knowledgable and have put some real effort into my car. Maybe its just in your head? I used to get a bunch of people walking up to me when I went to the track asking about my car and how I was doing.

[Pete03GLS]

ya, i told cbogg b4, that i get more self satisfaction from knowing my elantra is unique, than i would from hooking up a civic... theres just something rewarding in knowing your car isnt flooded with after market parts, and some of the mods u do are really CUSTOM...

i think u guys know what i mean.

[KeWLKaT]

We're all doomed with the non-availability of the parts ever since we signed that darn paper saying we're buying this korean POS (lol).

[Pete03GLS]

well, most of us probably didnt plan on modding the elantra. so we had no idea, i kno i sure didnt, till i found this website... lol

but hey, now that i do mod, i feel better everytime i perform a mod, because not every one does it. u kno...

[Qyn]

for those 3 minutes, hes free.

:D

Awesome.

[Pete03GLS]

yea man... thats a classic line... me n jesse got that **** copy righted n patented. its our line.

[CRAZIECRACKER]

it impresses me, im not doing it for others. its always been me and this area is all about it.

for those 3 minutes, hes free.

:D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! robbin my **** pete! that night was ****en funny as hell

[slyderdai]

Everyone one of my friends drive Hondas. When we get together and take pics of our cars MINE is the only one that stands out. I love that! Every Honda I see is a cookie cutter (Intake, DC header and Greddy Cat-back) they all sound the same, look the same and suck the same! Take that 3900 and Buy the Ngm supercharger kit and Rock a Crooked H.


If you ain't crooked you ain't straight lol......................

[Fox]

Looking for attention, or is it just jealousy?
Go get some pink paint and some stickers, you'll need them in your uber-underground world :D

[DJ Hellfire]

Hondas didn't always get respect. They used to be in the same shoes Hyundai is getting out of now. Hyundais are getting more and more respect. It won't happen over night. Bottom line is, build your car faster than everyone elses, you get respect. Point blank! Suck it up! Like the world needs another ****ing fart can weed wackin Honda!

[cbogg]

If you ain't crooked you ain't straight lol......................

That's an awesome quote, but he really isn't lol! An J man, I'm from here too remember? It's not all about the hondas. For every decent, done right civic you see, you see another 200 ****ty, taped together, kitted pos junk. I think you should keep pushing with the elantra cuz you're going in the right direction. Run with it bro! Sometimes fitting in is about being different.

[yamaha]

Johnny Tran will be waiting for you at Race Wars this year.

[NY2002ElantraGT]

its all about being unique and people being confused when they see my car. lol

**** hondas.

[seanski]

the greatest satisfaction i get out of my car is people's reactions when i tell them its a hyundai. and the confusion must come over the cop when they write "black sedan" on my parking tickets lol :D

ive also gotten "black mazda" because of the M&S badges i have in place of the crooked h's.

[PSUsouthpaw]

im definetly getting back into the ricer/underground street racing world.so now, my bike, my hyundai, and my soon to be crx will fill my empty holes!

If you have holes in your life, maybe you have something else wrong that buying more crap won't fix.

[KeWLKaT]

^ I agree.

[Silentwolf]

Lol, coincidentially i had a low slung late 90s Civic pull up behind me with the bass rattling my car, nice buzz from the rear when he reved it and purple neons. Right turn and he decided to pull wide into the second lane and i just stayed in front and floored it. When i noticed he was losing ground i let off and coasted to my turn where he proceed to blurp his throttle again. And i simply have intake and exhaust. (Disclaimer: all the preceeding was not condoned by EXD or its affliates and not recommended for the street)

[sadasar]

well, most of us probably didnt plan on modding the elantra. so we had no idea, i kno i sure didnt, till i found this website... lol

but hey, now that i do mod, i feel better everytime i perform a mod, because not every one does it. u kno...

Amen thats all i can say.

[SuperGLS]

Where is Ed's Elantra rap when you need it?

[my01elantra]

I have always been shown respect when I go to meets. We have local meets, well used to, were like 50-at times 150 would show up. All I had to do was rev it up and the sound of the bov would make them all run toward my car (mostly a suby/srt4 meet with alot of hondas as well) It never failed to have people stare in wonderment and then ask the ? "is that really a Hyundai?" Then I have to take people for rides lol. I love my car and the uniqueness of it and if someone else doesn't like it then it sounds like a personal problem on there behalf.

[KeWLKaT]

Yeah I used to love being boosted, all the other tuner guys used to be like....

[Pete03GLS]

lmfao.

[Tommy]

wtf...$3900 on a CRX?? are you smoking crack?

piece of crap cars. i dont care how "fast" you say it is, its still a crx, and there for a piece of crap and not fast. Not to mention you look like a redneck tool when you drive a crx.

[rusto85]

Damn for $3900 I'd get a 240sx or some other kind of vehicle that is more fun than a stupid Honduh.

[PSUsouthpaw]

Damn for $3900 I'd get a 240sx or some other kind of vehicle that is more fun than a stupid Honduh.

For $3900, you could buy an old Camaro, grow a mullet and still be faster than said CRX...

[CornbreadXD]

I never had a problem getting respect at car shows either, i've won some so I know there isn't any problem NY2002ElantraGT and 2loud2k have also won trophies for their rides. If you want respect wtf are you gonna do with a $4k CRX, go out and buy a Datsun like me or an 80's rx7...there are sooooo many older japanese cars you can grab and be unique and (rwd) than a crx.

But i don't know if you want that since you want to be into underground/racing or whatever. Those cars generally get respect from car enthusiasts and older people.

I think that this thread started after Crazie watched The Fast and the Furious 3... "You think I'd let you roll in a Hyundai?"

[Jlivan]

I rather be be crooked then like everyone else. Who cares if other people don't understand the Hyundai love.....I know everyone who owns a Hyundai does!!!

Hyundai for life!!! ;)

lol

[Silentwolf]

The UCF car club i go to once in awhile likes their power. 3/4ths the people there are either turbod or have a v8 and then a few have some high output v6s.

But i'll give you some quotes towards my car that are certainly worthy

Your car is sooo badass dude. Props for doing clean, tasteful mods to something people would never second glance.
I will say Silent Wolf has probably the cleanest nicely done Hyundai I've seen. Rather than big gaudy body kits and pointless retarded mods, everything has been subtle and can pass for stock. Very few cars at all can say that

[Keyan]

The only time I have ever gotten respect is after I installed the turbo, now whenever I go to NJ Tuners meets, I get a crowd of atleast 10 people wanting to pop my hood, every time.

lol

i love my car too, but i noticed that most people around here who have elantras and other hyundai's are mostly old people who really have no care for what kind of car they drive what so ever...

hyundai enthusiasts are hard to come by, but they are a loyal bunch.

[KeWLKaT]

And even now they'll be like... Why is there a big ugly square piece of metal on top of the turbo???? :D

where do you find these pics?!

[big_rob]

CRX? Don't forget your 3M adhesive hoodpins...... For respect, ya know...... I would drop the money into the Elantra, have something more unique, and smoke your little Honda buddies. Gain respect for individuality, not following everyone else. My .02

[PSUsouthpaw]

where do you find these pics?!

Here and there. PSU car club forums have lots of posts with pics like this, so i scavenge a bit.

[darkboricua]

bro, I'm just hooked on the part where you said you're paying almost $4k for a CRX. For $4k, I bought me my 94' civic, and my 63' Bel-air. If thats what you really want to buy pay less, because trust me....your getting less.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Wow. . ."street respect". Yep, glad I was never a tool that needed that to get by in life. As for getting respect, well that's more on the driver/owner than the car. If you're half the idiot in the real that you are here, I can understand.

Wanna talk about catching flack? I work at an acura dealership. I catch it 24/7. Myfriends, family, even the local forums. Now it's in fun because I've proved myself to be knowledgable and able to take a little ribbing and the car has proven capable. Shoulda seen the snickers and finger pointing at the first few auto-x's I went to last year. THe higher I finished, the more cars I destroyed the less that happened. Yesterday, in the process of putting the car 1-2 in class for the second event in a row I had new kids asking for help, and rides.

You want to be another "me too" honduh boy, go for it. But don't think you'll get any more of that false respect you're looking for.
