not a kill... but an idea!

alright so i figured what i was gonna do, is start keeping a kill book in my car.. so when i can i would wright down my kills and loses! think it would be a great idea to show at meets and ****. plus u can make ur book more detailed.. i dont know if there is somthing like this.. but it would be cool to see what the other peoples cars are up against...

lol sorry for the random post im really bored.. waiting for work.. so just doing somthing...

tell me what u guys... and girls? think!!!

not necessarily it all depends on how u write it. he could write something like this:

03 si - intake, exhaust = WON
and so on if a cop asked what it was u could say its from the dragstrip

Sounds like a 14 year old girl's journal. +1 to the cop getting the information...why would you want to keep around a logbook of illegal activity - that can NEVER lead to good things.

haha well i think it would work wonders.. plus depending on how u right it there wouldnt be enough proof if u raced it or not.. and i think if ur getting pulled over by a cop there not gonna search ur car unless u have done somthing wrong in the past.. so if they look at it.. just say its for work or somthing

and like teenwolf said.. u can always say its from the track..

i just think it would be good so u know what u did.. because i know after awhile i forget what i raced and ****!

wow this thread fails. thats a dumb idea why not just remember what cars you beat, its not that hard. or carry a video camera or something. but if you show up to a meet with a log book of the cars you beat and its all colored in crayon, i'm sure most likely eveyrone will laugh.

actually i second thought, do it.

it'll make someones day

The only journal that an Rx7 owner should keep in their car is the growing list of things that are broken and need to be fixed..

i know this is going to sound harsh, but im not trying to be mean.... but your dream sucks.. instead of dreaming about a kill book dream about a turbo kit or something.

Uh, book would mean nothing.

I could write that I killed an STI in my N/A FC. Doesn't mean I did.

Why not take your car to a dyno and write down your numbers and then go get your car weighed. And then mod your car and do the same stuff. Keep logs of stuff like that. Not a journal about people you think you raced.

I have had many kids pull up next to my mostly stock looking FC and try and race me. Sometimes they think "Man I hella pulled on the RX". When I am shifting at 3k.

Take it to the track and figure out what you beat there. Most street races are dumb, and the RX isn't a drag car. If you want to be fast in a straight line and get shitty gas mileage, you should get an old muscle car with a huge engine. More horsepower and about the same gas mileage.

I highly suggest not keeping a log. That is lame and you will look like a retard. Which in turn makes a lot of RX guys look like tards because you are representing the RX when you go to meets.

Im seriously thinking about pinstriping car logos on the door panel or rear quarter panel. Adds character. Plus, you could just say that you liked the styling and that you just thought mazda was better than all of those other brands if a cop pulled you over.

My idea was a larger logo at the top edge of the door panel, and then for each subsequent kill, put a logo below it 1/3rd the size, and space it so that you have something like:
