Building a 4 cylinder or six cylinder for speed equals ricey... I dont care what car or truck its its in unless its 4x4... a 24o is not american and none were ever a v8 originally... u cant get more ricey then that... Drop a v8 in one... Dont lower it.. Drag slicks and american racing wheels with stock inteior... No gay eibach stickersand junk all over it and then I wont call it a ricer... Build it like a muscle car... 4bangers and six bangers are not muscle...

 

But it takes boost to do it, that's where I stop being impressed. Anything can be fast when you slap a big ole turbo on it. I agree 100% with not cutting corners, I hate hacking ****.
Mustang looks sick! Tell me more about that haha.

Naw... People post stuff like that because they think its funny or just dont care... Neither is a good attitude to have and sadly you wont change... Youll spend time in jail eventually...

 

Like he said. This isn't high school, drug charges don't make you cool, they just make you look like an *****.

 

So what? Take a v8 and make over 100hp per hole and have it be driveable, reliable, and efficient. Doesn't happen naturally aspirated.
I have had everything, and my favorites are turbo cars. V8 or 4.
My next will be a turbo v8. Just because its been too long since I've owned one.
Hell I towed my 240 with an 11 second twin turbo dodge diesel. It was a 6 cylinder and had some stickers so I guess it was ricey.

I see where ur coming from but he can easily make 350+ HP without a V-8 and save weight, gas milage and still blow the doors off an equal hp american muscle car. Im sure u havent seen much on youtube about imports racing domestics. I have seen a ton. Im not hating on u but this is far from good advice on being "ricey" ive seen 200+ vids n cars that were import that were less hp and blew the doors off heavier gas hog v-8s. I appreciate american muscle very much but the import world has came along way since fast and furious in 01. And as for decals putting "eibach" on ur car when u in fact have eibach suspension is not at all ricey. No different then a mustang with "holley" or "flowmaster" on it. Ya u throw big a$$ rims and a ghetto canister muffler with no ***** behind it then ya thats ricey. But u can easliy build an import that will be as good if not better then domestics. Watch AMS evo on youtube it destroys car after car (mostly domestics with more HP) then it and its durable as hell. It took a fully build big block on slicks with 200 shot to beat it. And it doesnt cost 25 grand under the hood to make it happen. Just like the STIs. Even the dodge neon SRT-4 was designed by the japanese. Again im jot bashing u here just sayin.

 

No, it's not going to happy reliably or driveable with anything naturally aspirated. There's nothing ricey about a fast diesel. Unless it had stacks.. Turbo v8s are a lot of fun. We've built a few turbo mustangs. That's the route my car was headed before I realized how expensive it would be to do it right. Still have a really nice turbo laying around if you're interested in doing something soon. What are you looking to build?
We put together a junkyard freebie coupe two years ago to play with on the street for the summer. Plan started out as 306 nitrous beater and ended up with my buddy's Outlaw 10.5 parts in it. R block 331 with a billet 106, th400. Ran it for a summer but realized it was far too dangerous and parted it out. They wouldn't let us make a full pass at lebanon valley because it didn't have a cage but it went an 1/8 good for 8.8xs with a junk 60ft. Miss that car Miss being younger and dumber too, just glad I lived through it.

 

Oh god here we go. You know know all because you go on youtube. Let me guess, they were all roll races. This means the fastest car in the world is a Supra right?

 

Never said that at all. I was just making a point as to just cuz its not american its not crap or ricey. But u can build an 2JZ to over 1000hp just as easy as an american V-8. And ive been around cars my whole life i know my a$$ from my elbow here. Amercan muscle is great and always will be but the import scene is not all bad im not bashing anyone at all i just dont see why people are hating on imports

 

The ricey concept is not about horsepower.... Its about the vehicle itself...

Also stop bypassing the language barrier... Write it out... Itll blank it off.... Leave it that way... We do that for a reason and its not so u can go around it... Family friendly site...

 

Agreed so much man. Im glad someone on here agrees with me. And for the people saying it wont happen without a turbo if u look at the new Hyundai Genesis coupe its 305 HP naturally asperated. And the new camrys are like 265ish hp non turbo. So its possible to have decent hp non turbo 4or 6 and not be american

 

Alright my bad about the language. And i understand what u mean theres plenty of body kitted civics with 18" rims and fart cans rollin with 115hp.

 

Ill just toss my 2 cents in.

I've owned my share of cars over the years. Including a few imports.

I can make more power out of a small block motor a lot cheaper than I could ever make on any import motor.

My last street/race car was a 82 datsun shell I picked up for 300.
-$500 homebuilt 4bolt SBC I built with a mild cam, mild port job. Open shorties, HEI ignition.
-$50 2800 rpm stall converter
-$300 demon 750
-$250 nitrous plate kit with 200jets
-and some well worn drag radials.

So about $1400 for roughly 450whp reliably in a 2475lbs car without driver and a half full tank.

And the car ran side by side with mid to low 11second cars on the street almost every weekend, on worn radials.

And both my foxbodys went into low 12s with boltons and a small shot.

You just can't do that with imports reliably for cheap.

Although on the other hand, I spent nearly 8 grand to get my gtp into the 11's...so it can go either way.
