Peoples reactions after riding in your FD
 

this is always interesting to hear, what do people say after you give them a ride in your fd?

It wasn't just the ride that did it, it was telling him afterward it was a 1.3l that blew his mind. He's a Mustang guy, and said something to the tune of "1.3 liters, and it just gave me the ride of my life? WOW!"

Usually though, they comment on the R1 suspension being stiff before they get to feel any power. Oklahoma roads + R1 Suspension = bad combo.

They all SH*T themselves :) haha... "1.3litre what!?" hehe

I have one honda friend, and i don't know why he does this, but evertime he gets in my car and i get just a little bit of boost he screams "TUUUURRRBOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

LOL i dont have any FD stories yet im still waiting for it, but I used to have a low 11 sec eclipse and on the window right above the door handle there was a sticker that said insert $1 for ride. Well on many occasions I have taken freinds for a ride and the end result was them giving me a $5 lol. On one occasion I met this girl while I was working and we started talking cars, well she was a real hard up domestic v8, cummin diesel imports suck kinda girl. When it came to me talking she asked what i drive and I told her an Eclipse, she almost totally lost iterest she was so hard up about v8, luckily I was charming and a bit of a talker and saved the conversation. Well i ended up getting her number and gave her a call she insisted on driving she had a w6 but I told her there was no way. I picked her up and her first impresion was is this a light show ( had my AVCR and AFC mounted along with my boost in the dash in front of her ) we left her house and I stayed light on the gas just listened to her talk about v8 beating up on imports and blah blah blah it was actually starting to unatract me alot. We get to a stop light and im thinkin i need to represent and shut this chick up I give it a couple raps on the gas and shes like sounds cute light goes green and I feather out my drop from around 6k all four get loose and it does the full lauch scwat Get second gear and all 20 lbs of boost come fluttering through my waistgate while tires are still a little unsure if they can grab yet bam now im in third and flying I have a split second to look over and see this chick pinned in the seat with the funniest face of uncertanty get into fourth and im still got here pinned and where doing around 120 and I let off. She give a sigh of relief smiles and says well i would have never expected that. we go to dinner back to her place and she shows me how she likes to ride wink wink, never saw her after that lol, but I think she had a new respect for at least some imports. Now I know its not a FD story but I look forward to having one of them later.

1.3liters always gets 'em but too bad that is not exactly true.

A buddy a work said he would trade his wife for my FD : )
I told him my cars only 13 yrs old his wife is 30+,and less work on the car to do.

They always say to me,"What year is this?" and,"WOW!"

Usually when I punch it they just go holy shit, but one time I raced my buddys new M3 up to about 150 on the freeway and my friend was riding with me hella drunk, he seemed pretty scared haha, didn't say anything the whole time.

HOLY SH*T! After the secondary turbo kicked in.

Most ppl have NO idea how fast these cars are, and are amazed at the handling as well. I always loved giving ppl rides at work when the car actually worked.

haha.... i took a co worker for a ride once... with a big single theres some lag so i hit it at low rpms and he started to say " this is pretty nice" and then BAM full boost hit, go thru 2 gears, let off, and he just kept saying "holy shit, omg, thats ridiculous!"

;)

I've had macho guys just giggle...and then say, "I've never been 140mph before"

"Wow, so how much would it cost to make my car as fast as yours?"

Only 3 people have ridden with me as of now- so i don't have much.

See if you can work that out on a time-share basis :-)

hahahaha... One friend that owns an RX8 rang me as soon as he knew that I already had the FD. We met and went inside the FD. He said: "mmmmm, ugly" :wallbash: But as soon as the party began and the secondary started to scream, his face turned green :fawk: and said: "Are you trying to scare me? Ok, ok... that's enough" :)

The reaction usually reminds of that scene in the Blues Brothers, where Belushi has been bitching about the x-cop car Akyroyd picks him up in, so Dan floors it and jumps the draw bridge.... the next shot, Belushi is sitting there all freaked out, and dryly says "cars got alot of pick-up".

usually, damn, holy shit, or bad-ass.

I was at work at Circuit city. I had my FD in the install bay, and i was installing my wideband. I was kinda new and no one really knew what i had done. My manager came over and was like, cool car. He said" Oh ive been in a lot of fast cars, like a z06, viper....ect" He then says i should get a 150 shot of NOS for my car, I look at him and smile and tell him to get in. He never saw under the hood of my car :) I took him on an on ramp and did a 1st-4th gear to about 130ish. After i let off he said" You dont need NOS, this thing is retarded"

Girls always just scream. Guys are just like "god damn"

In my TT rotary FD they tend to get either REALLY loud or REALLY quiet when the secondary kicks in.

In my LS1 FD, they ask when the wheels will stop spinning... :)

AutoX instructor:
"WOW!! This thing has GRRIIIIPPPPPPP!!!!!!" (as we go around a near-u-turn)

Dave

:rlaugh: That's a great story!

Why do you think that 95 percent of the passenger side door handles are broken?? ;) People hanging on for their lives :)

"ahhh i'm going to die!!!" (girl)

"hehehehe :aroused: " (guy :squint: )

"whats that clunking noise?"

"the engine's so quiet"

". . . . . ."

"is something burning?"
