slownrusty Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 You guys and gals will love this: http://www.eddiesun.net/~trey/VtecAtlanta.wmv The skid plates under the wheels of the HondasAcuras are pretty funny - what people will do for some kicks. The Ram is sweet - the driver even looks a little bored and you have to love the Bar-B-Q pit in the back. Enjoy! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z-rific Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 That's one of the saddest videos I think I've ever seen. What, you pay a few bucks and get a turn with the plates? It's funny how they've edited out a few parts where it looked like a car was about to hit the curb. And can somebody please explain the fascination with carbon fiber hoods?

stony Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 that was weak!!!!! that circle i believe is what they should have been driving around. Ive seen guys in japan that could be smoked the hell out of the tires while keeping on of the fronts on the line all the way around the circle without the aid of water !!!!

Guest Anonymous Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Me and my fried have done that in his old (it's like an 84) honda civic. It's not a fast car, just something to drive. But it does do amazingly fun donuts like that I know, I know, it's nothing like a true RWD donut, but it's fun, and easier on tires Our method was to "borrow" a couple plastic trays from taco bell or the likes, and just put the back tires on them with the e-brake on. The only downside to this method was that they only lasted about 20 seconds. Oh well, good fun for a night of juvenile misbehaviour Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 where was that filmed? I saw that Yellow WRX at Nopi this year, badass car! and yeah traying, or thats what we call it here is alot of fun..if u have a FWD car. its just a shame for those guys to be doing that in there Type R's... i mean i cant stand hondas but Type r's arent made for that at all. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 The dually was cool, but almost any car could do doughnuts in a wet parking lot. I should get some video of me doing some in my extended cab longbed chebby (posi, on dry blacktop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 That's the only way that they can feel what a real rear wheel drive car can do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted December 2, 2002 Author Share Posted December 2, 2002 Yup the Type R is an awesome ride - one of the best Honda products for sure. It is a pity to see such an awesome car "traying" but oh well - who am I to comment. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin_Jason Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 The type-R is an awesome car? I'm not talkin chit here..please no flames. Maybe they revamped it since I played against them? I had a 96 Prelude Vtec and I used to just walk on them..out cornered them too. Hmmm maybe they are a new beast(??) now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest loveonthebeach Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I've done some "traying myself" in my friend's Suzuki Swift. Trays wear out real fast, but Taco Bell ones seem to work the best. Anybody ever tried tray-surfing? - Standing on trays and being pulled with a rope behind a car...I miss the good 'ol days. -rotrocketz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they had airheaded drivers who didn't know how to use what they had, or you weren't racing real Type R Integras. Less weight than your Prelude with the same horsepower, IIRC, and geared lower. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Originally posted by Z-rific:And can somebody please explain the fascination with carbon fiber hoods? Saving 50-75% of the weight over a stocker is nice, but I feel quite sure its bling bling factor. Otherwise people wouldn't bother buying carbon fiber wallpaper, or painting thier hood flat black...

Guest comeandzpa Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Its fine to want to save some weight if you plan on doing some serious racing, but just to tray around a parking lot seems like a major waste of $$$......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest livewire23 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Originally posted by Racin_Jason:I had a 96 Prelude Vtec and I used to just walk on them..out cornered them too. oh yea! did anyone see the size of the muffler on that 240SX? what gets me about the carbon fibre hood, is that i bet they weren't serious enough to gut the car or take out any of the other dead weight factors. My lude is gutted from the front seats back, mostly because i was hoping for a mpg improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
