Installed My Daul Gauge Pod

Everyone and their mother is putting Altezzas on their car. Plus, I personally hate the way they look. They do not look good on our car, Integras, or Civics. Buy one if you think it looks good, but just cause they it fits, doesn't mean it's a good idea. I think it's a fad and will go away soon.
 
Nice job! Nice website too.

As for what defines rice....I don't want to go into all that I personally think rice is or isn't in this thread....but in a nutshell I think when it's ALL show an NO go. Maybe I'll post something in the off-topic forum so we can get into a big discussion there. :)
 
Hey MP3Moran,
Y the hell you driving an mp3 if it is so rice?? And nobody asked you to look at the website. So if you got anything else to say, Go ahead and say it. But come find me or anybody else on that website and say it to us. And when I am leaving you and your wanna be WRX in the dust let's here what you got to say.

I
 
Yeah, I think those pods look very nice. I can't believe that people are giving him a hard time about putting the boost guage in there. He said that he's planning on getting a turbo. What's he supposed to do, leave a big empty pod there? Or maybe he should just stick a post-it note there and cover it up. Nice job MP3#847, I think it looks very tight.
 
Thanks Everybody I just couldn't wait anylonger for the gauge pods for our cars adn there might not even be any double pods for a while.
 
To me, anything that is done should not be considered "rice" if it is done right and in good taste. I personally don't like neon lights, or cut springs, or any APC product hehe. But if done right, I don't see how anyone can call a mod rice. If you are into neons, get friggin neons, but do it RIGHT! Get some quality ones and actually mount them right so the bulb isn't hanging down dragging the ground.

Wings are OK. If you want a big racing wing go for it, but get one that looks good with the ride. No one NEEDS a functional wing, but if done right they look good.

Cut springs are ghetto. Taking off the muffler is ghetto.

I will be the first to say my car is loud. I didn't want it this loud, but it is loud. But I have a full exhaust system with a header and high flow cat. That setup cost me about $1000, if anyone calls my exhaust system rice just cause it is loud I am gonna shove $1000 worth of foot up your ass!

So don't call wings and big tachs and loud exhaust rice. If done right and in good taste, these mods are not rice. Now a 52 inch aluminum racing wing on a 88 Mercury Topaz, that is rice hehe.

cut spring ghetto? what the ****!
i laid it out in plain english why we cut the springs. the "lowered" ones he bought for his car were too high. i dont know about you all but it does not flood that much over here. that must be your excuse for wanting you car to be the stock hight.

about the boost guage, i guess you could bash it because you dont have one, but before it reads boost it shows your vacuum. you can tell alot about how your motor is preforming according to how much vacuum the intake manifold is experencing.

as far as mp3 moron i would like to see him run the silver civic that is all "riced" out he has:
ex headers fit to a dx
no cat
performance muffler
aem intake
TB heater bypass
and more.
also this is a auto, and i promise he will leave you.

The s*** you said about my car. please.. when you drop 2g's on a turbo, you are then allowed to do what ever you want! either way my car is not riced out at all. if would take a look at the car on my home page, you can tell that, that is rice. also nither of the 2 mufflers are even hook up on the car.(you have to look really close)

the story that you cant get a wrx because a car seat? lol i laugh at your lies.
we all know you old lady is too ******* fat and there is no place to put her bucket of chicken. the wrx would also cut into her the money for her liposuction. if you would of told the truth, you would of said it was too expensive.
feel free to do a double take on my website http://www.noricers.com
i will accept any apologies and/or retractions regarding any previous statments.
thank you
 
Personally I think MP3#847 got a great site goin on. As far as Morans comments I think they are ill placed. I think what is important to note...this car is great due to its mods. It out performs several giants in the car industry due to the mods (handling wise), all the asthetics done for this car are well placed and in moderation. If one chooses to put neon sticks under their car or gauges(which by the way look good) ;)and is functional, it is fine. I think the pic on the site MP3#847 posted, of that (Fire breating Gecko)Integra is a clear definition of overkill going no where mods, or causes an eye soar, or the common term for it riced out. Plus, more importantly it is the effort and ingenuity that counts. Interests vary from person to person. From speaker hook ups to body kits...to engine mods(turbo, SupCharg, etc) Besides we all know why we prefer imports over domestics...no need to debate this issue. I personally think some of Morans reasons seem odd :rolleyes:....for purchasing this vehicle if he hates that kind of a look. There are plenty of vehicles in the market that may suit his needs for space which I am sure he could have bought in the same price range.
 
Hey tough guy you don't know crap about cars. Who cares if it doesn't flood much cut spring affect your entire suspension geometry. Also, the springs on the mp3 are designed around the tokico blues the way they are, height, spring rate, everything by cutting them your car will now not handle as well as a stock mp3 (no matter what you think about the numbers would prove it true). And what about your eibach springs sticker? Cut mazda springs are turned into eibachs? And your friends civic? That's a joke. Even my old si, that came with a D16Z6 engine still sucked in stock form, your friends civic wouldn't hold a candle to my old B18C/B16B hybrid engine or my mp3 with the mods done to it (I never tell what I have done to a car while it's still in my posession). As for racing why would I race with my mp3 when I could just leave you drooling with the '99 GSX sitting next to it in my garage? And I can promise you that one is nowhere near stock (I won't say what's done but 60mph comes in a tick over 4 seconds). And just cause I live in San Diego you think I can't get to you in Lousiana? Watch what you say, my culture's every and we look after our own. You'll get my apology when you lick it off my ten eye steel toes. Your mp3 and that civic are just two jokes, you guys have no idea what a real performance machine is like.
Oi! focker, watch your back. Every time you see a shaved head or bomber jacket walk by, make sure he's not lookin you up and down.

Moderators please note, I do not feel any of this is a reflection of how you imagined this board to turn out and I will refrain from making anymore comments on the subject. I do apologize to the moderators of this forum as well as to Enry and Antoine for conduct unbecoming.

LET ME GUESS YOU GRADUATED COLLEGE IN s*** TALKING.
I NEVER WOULD OF GUESSED YOU HAVE FAMILY ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IT IS SO HARD TO IMAGINE THAT INBREADING CAN SPREAD THAT QUICK.

I AM NOT SURE WHAT I SAID ABOUT YOUR OTHER CARS, THAT YOU HAVE OR HAD. IF YOU REREAD WHAT I SAID YOU WILL SEE I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY OTHER ******* CAR, BUT YOUR MP3.

MAN YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT KNOWING JACK ABOUT CARS. HOW DID YOU FIGURE ME OUT. O WAIT, I KNOW, IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE CUSTOM INSTALL OF A T3/T4 TURBO. NO WAIT IT MUST OF BEEN THE 2 ENGINE SWAPS. NO, NO, I WAS WRONG AGAIN, IT MUST BE THE FACT I CAN BOOST 7LBS ON A STOCK BOTTOM END OF A D16 WITH A STOCK FUEL PUMP AND THE ENGINE HAS 127,000 MILES ON IT.

YOU MUST HAVE SMARTNESS PORING OUT OF YOU!!!

I THINK YOUR NAME IS MISSSPELLED IT SHOULD READ MP3_MORON
IF WE DID NOT HAVE MORONS LIKE MORON THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR MODERATING.

ALSO WHAT IS YOUR ADDRESS I WILL BE GOING ON VACATION AGAIN IN SAN DIEGO THIS SUMMER, MAYBE I CAN MEET THE WIFE!
 
No flames just giving my address,
North Island Naval Base NSTC

NSTC stands for Navy SEAL Training Center.

You can call me Cheif.
 
Well nobody asked you MP3Moran for your smart as commets. I just wanted to show everybody the custom gauge pod that we installed on my MP3. And to check out the website. So why do we need all the s*** talking.
 
The original car I was going to buy was a Subaru WRX, yes that's right the car so many of you make fun of that outperforms ALL of our cars on the track, the only reasons I didn't get it was the fact that it didn't have enough room for a car seat or a stroller.


Mp3_Moran, I would have to disagree with you in saying the WRX outperforms all of our cars on the track. Just ask Carson Black who kicked the s*** out of 3 WRX's in SCCA solo racing. You have the freedom to say what you want and I wont critisize your personal feelings. But I will have to say you are wrong about the WRX outperforming in the handling department. There was even a recent post of another person ( sorry cant remember the name )who had a faster time than a Camaro all souped up with racing slicks. Yea I like the WRX for its performance but I do think its a damn ugly car. I would have to say it would be fun to pull up in a mom type WRX wagon and blow a ricer car away. That to me would be worth the money for a WRX wagon.
:p

I WILL POST PICS LATER</STRONG>


Hey,

How did they mold the pods? What brand pods are they?
 
This s*** is funny. I'm not trying to say that MP3 moran's ramrks were right, but they damn sure weren't wrong. All civics have become nothing but a cliche'. If you don't know what that means, civics are the brunt of all ricer jokes. I'm not hating, just expressing the truth. I've seen some very nice looking civics that I'd give anything to drive. But I'd never want to own one because that's what all the poor ghetto rats are buying and ricing out. Just my opinion,...take it or leave it. ;)
 
Just a few notes to mention:
1: SWEET PODS! I'm not into mods, as I am running all stock, but I think it looks good. If they wanna call it rice, let em. Ignorance is bliss, and there are a lot of happy people in this world. (Take that as you will)
2: Thanks to AZ for noticing the autox story. I was the one who spanked the camaro, and along with it 5 of the 6 WRXs at the event. The one that got away has been racing for quite a few years, and this was my first event.

And kids, keep the smoke coming from the tires. Prove it on a track. So you really need to be arguing over matters of opinion? RICE ON BUDS!
:cool:
