I quote from the item description: "Why spend $3000.00+ for an expensive turbo kit when you can get that same signature whistle for about one hundred times less!" ummmm..... maybe because it actually makes your car faster!!!!! its a sad time when rice boys value the sound of the turbo greater than the actual performace boost  |

Unregistered | Or when getting neon lights, spoiler, and rims is viewed as more important than say...getting a TRD Group A 11,000 rpm engine  (That is the common belief among alot of my friends  ) |

It's not that the engine is difficult to find that's in question, but the fact that alot of my friends would actually PREFER BEYOND A DOUBT a car that looks fast and has gimmicks over actually making it fast that is a flawed principle. | ||||

dampachi! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,164 Member No.: 177 Joined: Jan 10th 2003 Location: Adelaide, South Australia | a lot of people would prefer the neon crap, because you cant really tell what engine the car has in it, it would LOOK slow to the untrained eye |

dampachi! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,164 Member No.: 177 Joined: Jan 10th 2003 Location: Adelaide, South Australia | no, because stlye does not include massive stickers that look ugle, style is nice large wheels, and body kits that make the car look more agressive in sublte (sp?) ways, without making it over the top and ugly |

dampachi! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,164 Member No.: 177 Joined: Jan 10th 2003 Location: Adelaide, South Australia | as large as you want them to be, but anything over 20" would be silly |

IDW Posts A Freaking LOT Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 10,554 Member No.: 32 Joined: Sep 26th 2002 Location: Orlando, FL | Anything over 17 is not right! Unless your car is show and no go, then it's okay |

dampachi! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,164 Member No.: 177 Joined: Jan 10th 2003 Location: Adelaide, South Australia | i would mostly agree with that comment, any car that is build maily for performance, does not really need 20"s, also, the rubber for a set of 20"s would cost so much more, which can be a problem if you drif regularly |
