some recent pics of the 7 (lots of pics)
This past Sunday, Tyler (fdsprockett on here) and I brought up our cars up to school for the afternoon. We snapped some pictures and drove around campus. Here are most of what we took. And yes I realize my car looks like 4X4, some H&Rs are on the winter's "to do" list.
And for those of you wondering, Tyler used to have an FD. After going through 3 or so motors he sold it, and picked up the Integra. Since Tyler has owned it, he's put on a custom T04E turbo kit that dynoed at 221WHP on Payne Technology's Mustang (I believe) dyno at only 5psi. Assuming some will call his car "rice" or a "downgrade", I am going to make things easier and label all that do clueless ahead of time.

Nice ride, good pics. I kinda like the last one, it looks like any gathering I go to, 'cause a good friend of mine has a silver GTI too and it's allways parked next to my seven.

I kind of take offense to people who call me a ricer just because of stereotypes and stupid crap related with Honda and Acura cars and some of the idiots who own them. I consider myself to be the "anti-ricer" - that is, every time I see rice I laugh at it and shake my fist angrily at it. I hate cars that have been modified poorly...with a terrible sense of style and little attention to under-the-hood enhancements (the only kind that matter to me).
Now, I bought the car in a little more riced up fashion...granted, I have seen MUCH MUCH worse around these parts, but the car HAD a body kit on it, which I took off to go to a more stock look. I DID put the carbon fiber hood on, but hey - that was a style decision by me comparable to putting a Scoot, Knightsports, or Mazdaspeed hood on an FD. The hood I got was very good quality, and it weighs almost 60% less than the stock hood, giving it function along with form. The rest of the car is basically all business - although not taken too seriously. It's no monster, I'll agree...but it's decent - and that's what I was looking for.
So, I cannot understand why people want to call my car rice and me a ricer just because of manufacturers. It's a very ignorant thing to do, especially since I have tried my hardest to separate myself from the stereotype. There will never be a huge wing, altezzas, neons, graphics, etc. on this or any other car I own. I hate that stuff. I'm 80% performance oriented and 20% appearance, rather than the 100% tacky appearance orientation of ricers. I appreciate the words from my friend Ryan and the other member who supported me - the others who talk trash just really seem ignorant about the whole thing.

I dig the under the hood stuff, and anyone that has put the effert to put a little extra power down is cool to me, be a honda, toyota, chevy, or whatever. And remember, mazda has its little ricer part as well as others, and i have seen some really "Rice" Rx7's as well. But dude, the tires are killen the look. lol
