There are CAR Enthusiasts and there are Car wanabee's



im not a ricer but I own a civic coupe 5h gen.

YES I do have a big ass cannon ( sounds like a F1 which brings me joy and puts a smile on my face when vtec hits ) its mounded to a 3' exhaust system
YES I do have 4 cyl. 1.8 litre ( little engine )

Why? First off it's " cheap ", 2nd, honda's are great for modification. It gives off true meaning of driving


ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING , 4 CYL = LESS WEIGHT.      My civic has 180 bhp atm @ 1 ton weight, around 6s to 100 km/h. It's a GOKART. Rapes corners at high speeds, its loud and obnoxious.

True pistonhead's know what driving is all about, not some mesurements or numbers on a brochure.


LOUD and Agile is what I love. Driving in a straight line is total absurd to me, therefor 4 cyl is good enough.

I like cars not brands, I dislike people who diss on car brands like BMW people hate on Civics, guess what? I own bouth!


well thats the only thing id argue, fart cannons dont sound like nice f1 race cars, they sound like you trapped 16 bees in a jar and mounted them in your muffler, but besdes that, thanks for that explanation, starting to see it a little better now. however i still lack the understanding of why would people put park benches, tilted rims and shit on their cars, i want someone with those shitty mods to address my question.

some people like eating their own shit and attack people with broken glass shards.

we put those people in mental institutions because they are a danger to everyone.

ricers build cars out of shit and attack people with their shit cars when they try to be race car drivers on public roads.

seems like one is as bad as the other to me.

I can help you explain this culture to your self, its very easy to understand if you follow these steps:

Step 1: Find big brick wall
Step 2: Run as fast as you can at the wall, once about 4-5 feet away, swan dive head first into the wall.

If sucessful, you will understand. if not, repeat steps 1&2

Hellaflush is one of the worst "cultures" imo. Taking performance cars (and others) and doing one of the worst mods for performance I can think of short of removing the engine entirely.

Its sad when you see cars built to put down 400+ HP on tilted, stretched, skinny tires.

I guess I'll toss in my input.
Anyone who modifies their car is looking to be different from the masses, I'm sure we can all agree with that. Why some have the option to choose a good platform others do not, this makes many (topically lower income?) have the mindset of "work with what you got" because they aren't in a position to choose. The hellaflush thing ill get to in a second. First ill address the mods; most people who are money conscious want to get the most bang for their buck right? And what's going to get you to stand out more than some chrome wheels or a big wing? And take into account of how old some of these cars are, wings/body kits/ under glow etc. were all the craze when the first couple fast and the furious movies debuted! It's a whole other generation.

Style has changed, and will continue to change, it's no different than when baggy pants use to be "the thing" but now it's all about skinny jeans. This kinda leads me to hellaflush cars. Hellaflush is obviously a ploy to stand out, what obnoxious body kits were in 2001- are what the hellaflush scene is today, and I'm not bashing, I respect many who pay close attention to detail when trying to achieve a certain look. Hellaflush isn't so much about the street racing of yesteryears because many know their car is not a rocket ship, and to become one would mean dumper huge amounts of cash into mods they can't afford. So with money they have, they dump into suspension and wheels and all of a sudden they are apart of this subculture, no need to pump out 200hp/Litre with a stripped interior to be "apart of something".

Hopefully this kinda helps, I'm starving since I haven't had breakfast yet so ill elaborate more later.

tl;dr

And this is what i was looking for, thank you. It makes sense with the way you worded it, kinda shed some light as to why they focus so much on standing out visually.

And your tl;dr is awesome :P

women suck at driving because they don't think their car is an extension of their dick so they don't care if it scraped up and dented.
