Pony Eater Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Did you get the vinal ones, or the plastic? everyone knows the omes that are vinal material are waaaay heavier. They add weight! Less HP! More Time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pony Eater Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Well, I admit...I had green ones. Not a forest green, more of a pine green with a shade of aqua. Kind of lime, but more lemony sort of. You know, not pea green.....and not asparagus...more iceburg letttuce green. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HondaChick Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Well, the hp gains of the sticker greatly outweigh the losses due to the weight of the stickers. And go with plastic they are lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pony Eater Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 yeah, but if you get the "R" emblems.....they add something like 10-20 hp. I mean, we are not talking stickers here ladies! We are talking plastic emblems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HondaChick Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Oh, you didn't say you wanted to get emblems. Thats a whole different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trepid Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 It all depends on the sticker, if its a type R decal it will make your car go faster but if its just a bumper sticker like "Gore/Leibermann" it will make your car go slower, you should check the HP gains on which sticker you get.

Fr|ed_R|ce Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 so content of the sticker matirial and weight all have a factor thanks guys i got it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 !!!! Are you guys serious! Let me tell you something...! I got all the decals that you can buy...I look like a Nascar car. And look what they can do because of all thier decals. I got my Civic SI running 6 second 1/4 times because of them. And I have no mods to the motor! I rule all! I'd show you a picture but it's too much of a hassle to get one on this site! :worry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueSi Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 this is kind of dumb but I thought I should put my 2 cents here. I put a "Dark Age Performance" banner on my car and on some of my customers cars and because of the sticker we are all running 13's or better!!!

XScarAudio Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 i pay a midget to sit under my hood with a whistle....he blows the whistle whenever i shift or let off of the gas....it makes my car soundl like one of those turbo'd type cars:) i know the midget weighs 100 or so pounds, but my car sounds like a supra now, and that makes atleast 300 hp so i should be running 13's at the track this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optional187 Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 wow guys, i put a peice of paper in my glovebox that said "DrifterZ" on it, now i'm eating any and all domestics i can get my 'fork' on. and i'm %100 percent stock, right down to the floor mats, shift knobs, pedals, and all the other stuff like that that makes you get more hp. on a more serious note: if anybody lives around gainesville, florida and they have a nice import (i don't really care what you have) and you wanna be part of my crew, drop me a line. honda_civicex95@yahoo.com btw: somebody told me that DrifterZ was already a well known group in texas...true or not?

dd_biggy Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 no idea man, sorry... hey, you think the reason that my car is so slow right now is because i have no stickers? if that's all it took, why the f*ck did i buy a cai?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 because a cai makes your car sound like you have a turbo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
