It's not meant to hurt, it's the truth.

My car's not fast either... but I don't go around trying to race people.

You may be able to pass a scion. However, can you pass English class?

I pray that you're using an iphone or ps3 controller to type this, because I can't understand what you type without reading it twice.

You beat a Scion? You know Toyota has more than one car in the Scion lineup, right? Let me guess, you beat an automatic toaster? Quite an accomplishment there, killer.

enigma, unfortunately, the plug wires, engine dampner, radiator, and all your exterior mods do more or less nothing for performance. Also, being a honda single-slammer, your engine isn't that responsive to i/h/e. Like I said originally, the Tc will probably win.

When talking performance additions to your car, do not reference radiator, nor damper.

Fail.

No offense but you kinda fail at calling him out.

Engine damper improves torque and reduces wheel hop.

Doesn't really improve torque, just improves throttle response and saves your oem engine mounts made of play-doh.

I'd argue the "improves torque" point. An engine damper merely keeps the engine from shaking the chassis, something your engine mounts should already be doing.
