so i just bought an 04 sti and people automaticaly want to race

i just buy the car of my dreams for a good deal, and i get back to town, (small town) and people with everything from mitsu's to probes with some jdm mazda engine want to race me. telling me sti's are really slow cause they saw one run a 14 in the 1/4 at the strip... anyone else have these problems? its really dumb i think. they should reasearch their cars before picking on somthing alot bigger than what they drive. im pissed cause all night i was enjoying my car and people were just ripping on me about it.

 

14's at the strip?...but what does the probe run? 16's? As far as Mitz unless it is an EVO I wouldn't sweat it. Eclipse 80% of the time are just ricers. Mazda's unless it is an RX7, I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy and ignore the rest...The big talker's are just that..."All Talk". Believe me I have my fair share of wannabe racers talk'in smack at my Dealership when I drive my WRX there...Celicas, SRT-4s, Eclipse, EVO, Integras, Civics, Mazdaspeed, Mustang, etc. Funny, I always hear in the background I got "NOS" and when you ask what does that stand for, they got no clue..haha...All they say is "Hella Quick and I'll Beat yo Sh*t wit it".

 

mmm.. klze jdm engine... sorry i used to be a probe guy..dude i have that problem in my wrx, its going to happen in the STi

 

the probe is a 94 gt or somthing with a mazda 626 jdm swap? mitsu's are eclipses, the others drive slow ass cars, and tell me how slow my car is, right as i pull up, pretty sure jealous? this is the only sti in town.. at least somone is nice talking about it.. i posted on nasioc and they were all being asses about it. i just think its retarded how i get **** for buying my dream car!

 

AspitFire----are the jdm mazda engines in probes that fast?

 

Don't worry about it...Honestly they are jealous that a 4 banger just beat their JDM swap and v8s. Haters, trolls, just wished they had your car.

 

there is actualy one cool kid in town with a 5.0 stang that runs 12.0 on street tires and no nitrous. he wanted to see how much he could get stomed for a long time haha, he was cool to talk to... even though id get killed

 

just do this.... print off a page that says what the sti does in the 1/4... and when someone comes up to you saying that they are slow and runs 14's.... hand them the printout .... im just an @ss like that though...

 

First off, congratulations on the STi purchase! STis usually tempt the owner to modify for more power... especially when they're younger. Resistance is futile.

Secondly, it takes a lot of STi owners practice until they get the hang of launching their cars to get low 13's stock. Some STi drivers cannot drive the STi and it's even worse when others see that and assume that STis are slow.

 

Congrat's on the STI, so what if they can do 12, 13, 14 second 1/4mile pass. What does it translate to everyday street use besides getting on the freeway. I would let them pass me up from the start just so I can overtake them going into the corner when they have to start braking early and than I'd like to see just how long it takes them to catch backup! U got more braking, traction, you can get on the gas quicker and U got a rally car! Anything else!

 

Do what I do, to racers that piss me off, stage and the lights, when it turns green, let them take off as fast as they can, and slowly roll away from the light like you normally would, then give em the wow your car is fast, nothing makes me laugh more than watching someone beat their car, and trust me they know they are going to have to give it 110% for most cars to even stay close. OH and you need to atleast "chip" it and put the tbe exhaust on.

 

They're just all jealous, congrats on the car, enjoy it.

 

yep,
you will get everyone wanting to race you.
just tell em you are getting used to the 6 speed, and you'll treat them to a proper ass whoopin later in the summer.

 

The value of a car is not rated in how fast it can go in a straight line. If you want to do that, go buy a 5.0 mustang and save yourself some money.

It's a nice car for a million other reasons. Congrats on the purchase. What ever happend to my old rs?

 

if put in the proper car; mx-3 or similar lots of torque, its a nice engine. when properly tuned and a decent driver it pulls high 13's n/a. But anyway congrats on your new car, dont worry about the haters

 

my solution...

I will swap you cars... ha ha haha

 

hey esper... i drove your old rs for a while... then wanted somthing with a turbo again haha and sold it to a guy in town who loves it. hes actually the guy with the 12.0 second 5.0 who actually likes my sti for one person in town

 

the car has an apexi n1 exhaust on it.. i want a downpipe what do you guys suggest is the best for an sti.. and i dont want cel's... this forum is so much better than nasioc! everyone is nice

 

what r u talking about!@$#%$*!@#! Get the HeLL outTa HeA! j/k haha

 

for catless, INVIDIA w/ the mechanical fix, but you will creep
on the vf39.
(i will have one for sale pretty soon. coated and wrapped. $200)

for catted, i used the helix w/ a race cat.

and for what it's worth, consider an acessport and a tune at some point.

 

1+ for invidia dp and considering a Accessport...you'll love the combo!

 

good to see its still in the area running around. I still miss that car. It's pretty fast for an NA RS, but not likely to keep up with any turbo cars.

ahh memories, I still wish i had that car sometimes, so I could still compete in STS, but the yellow car is fun in SM too, it just eats money. so far replaced suspension, replaced ECU, replaced boost controller, new pads, all new fluids, new rotors, new seat, repainted front end, foglight covers, and a gajillion dollars worth of tuning....

Lol Who is short throw?

 

HAHAHAAH!

That's awesome.

You will have to help me on net 'speak though...what is a "troll"

I assume it means, trolling for compliments/attention, by whining about something that others don't have.???

As for ricers/racers/and 1/4mile fans: It is still beyond me why people enjoy going down a straight quarter mile find it so amazing or a true test of an automobile.

I think 0-60 and quarter mile times are all cool to know, but to me it's more about the mid range pull, I want to know 30-80, 60-100, braking distance, slalom time, etc.

As someone on an autox board said:

"The quarter mile is for fast cars. The autox/road race track is for fast drivers." :biggrin:

Not Another Stupid Imbicile Or Car........................PLEASE!!!

I cant believe the moderater wrote this.......

Uhhhh, I'm going with "I don't give a flying **** about what you're talking about."

My reply to him.....

guess this is why so many people around hate this site... buttplugs like you as a moderator


please please please ban me..... this is my first post in about 6 mths and maybe my tenth total cause of a55holes like you!!!!

 

then I couldnt help but to add this about shortthrow.....

and the only reason shortd1ck er shortthrow posted the link to mnsubaru is cause he fits in with the moderator above.... buttsexor extreme....

 

This is going to get good.

 

:munching:

 

man, I wished I had an STi....a car that I can actually USE!!! you know....having the right TOOL! but I guess swapping motors and building up things are fun too.....ehhehe

Congrats on the STi....my car is LOUD LOUD and rumbly...people don't race me ever....hahaha I've only had a few times when a turbo probe bugged me...and I have my EJ22T shortblock in....had i had my EJ22E....muahahhah but ya...my car isn't all that fast....it just sounds fast....haha

 

I just got my '04 STI a month or two ago and I have the same problem. Everyone under the sun revs on me and drives fast around me. It's annoying but it's dropped off a bit when I changed my wing to a WRX trunk.

 

yeah I dont usually care.. but I am so sick of that site bitching out new guys... especially when they never said anything wrong etc....

it should be interesting.. still not banned either.. kinda hurts my feelings that I havent been...

 

Is your car blue?

 

Yeah, it's the wing, not the car. People see the grocery cart handle on the car and automatically assume you will race....I swapped trunks recently with an STi and everyone wants to race now.

I personally think it's much sexier to drive my car slow. Plus I would go broke paying for all the gas if I raced everyone that wanted a piece.

 

Haha, OT forum. No wonder. Its just a pecker measuring and ashole stretching contest in that forum that would put ol' goatse to shame.

If your not used to flaming I suggest staying clear. Even though its a harmles forum even as far as flaming goes.

 

hmm haha well thanks guys for sticking up for me on nasioc, that forum has haters for subaru fans and its a subaru fan forum if that makes any sence... ill stay clear and just look for good info on modding the car and having fun thanks guys! im going to have to stop down at firestone sometime if you still all do that and meet up with everyone

 

Well, most of it isn't bad. Just stay out of Off Topic for posts like that. You porbably wuold have had a better experience in the general discussion forum.

The OT'rs just act like asholes because they think they have a reputation to uphold. They're mostly just pimple faced Honda owners.

 

Silver. I wanted a white one but I figured I'd get a lot less attention in a silver one.

 

Where I live, every joker with a pickup truck that has a 'hemi" wants to take me on. The last time that happened I let them ride my back bumper (two lane back road) and when I got to a nice tight turn I sped up to 85 (35 mph speed limit), the guy just about lost it. yeah I know that was mean, but I didn't ask him to ride a foot from my rear bumper.

 

Hey... I guess my pleas were finally heard.... here is the letter from Nasioc and my reply...

NASIOC Team:
Dear wrxboy2003,

We are sorry to inform you, that you have received enough warning points, to be banned from NASIOC.

This is a permanent ban and will last for ever .

Please reply back if you have a dispute.

My Reply:
no dispute....... thankyou thankyou thankyou... means I wont find myself having to go to this God forsaken 'crap'hole any longer.....

maybe you should ban some of the Moderators for what they say and also some of the other titwads for just being plain a55holes...

This site used to be great... guess like WalMart... the bigger it gets the worse the service...

oh yeah permanent usually means FOREVER you friggin morons... Unlike most your other members who need to have it explained to them their heads form their ar5eholes I have a little more intelligence than that....

 

hahaha wow... that site has really become bad, everyone is just pissed about life, and doesnt care that you drive a suby and just try to enjoy it. This is exacly why i like this forum a million times better! thanks guys

 

yes... although I have said at times there have been some dissappointing things on this site from time to time, it is a great site filled with a great bunch of guys.... 99% of the time they are super helpful and supportive, maybe a fraction of 1% do you get any trashing, but usually most that is in fun....

so every club member take note..... people love this site cause we are friendly and helpful and enjoy our cars etc etc... lets not lose that...

 

Yeah, don't worry about it, Nathan. We'll keep you company here.

There are good moderators and there are bad moderators. There's so many people there that Nasioc has turned its members into lemmings.

 

Thats the reason I spend most of my time on MNSubaru, and Subaruforester. They're nice forums, with people who know what they're talking about, and while you may get told to search, the flaming is kept to a minimum.
