1) I race on the street. No, not in the middle of downtown, but out in the country or industrial streets. The only other person I'm endangering is the person beside me, who KNOWS they are taking the risk and are endangering me as well.

Hate to break it to ya. But anybody who races on the street whether they think so or not, is endangering other people's lives. I don't care if you race out in BFE. You still cannot control certain circumstances that are out of your control. Let's say a deer pops out in front of you. And you panic. You slam on your breaks then you swerve out of control. And all of sudden you end up slamming into somebody's house at 100+ miles a hour. Killiing a 2 year old sleeping in his/her bed. So in actuallity you are endagering other people's lives. Street racing is stupid. PERIOD!

2) Who the fuck is Paul Walker? The reason I settled for the 3g is not because of their wonderful economy motor and their ability to break down once a week. It's because they take a 4g63 motor and an AWD setup like a champ. Why not buy an Evo? Because I race for money, and all my setups are wolves in sheeps' clothing.

I don't buy a car for what it is. I buy a car for what it can be.

They take an awd swap like a champ?:scratch: You do know it cost's at least 10k to do the swap. Probably more than that. If you say you buy a car for what it can be. Then why the 3g? There are so many cars out there that have better platforms. The 3g is a very nice looking car. And can look downright awesome with the right visual mods. But when it comes to peformance. Especially speed. It is definitely on the shorter end of the stick.

Welcome. I dont agree with your street racing ideas but to each his own, and I know people telling you its stupid isnt going to make you stop racing on the streets. So anyways welcome to the club and post up some pics when you get a chance.

Why are you trying to convince me not to race? Do you think this is your big chance to become someone's savior?

I've got a huge parts list with just about everything it takes to do the swap. Just getting the rear-end, driveshafts, axles, front knuckles, suspension, brakes, and tranny/transfer case in will be about 10 grand. That's shopping around for stock parts off the evolutionm.net forums. I guess that's only about 10-15 races :lmfao:

God forbid someone might want to prevent reckless behavior... Thinking that it's an insult to tell someone that they care for others has definitely got you a point in the "I'm a typical tween" column...

Wow, um, ok. You're not going to last long on here with that mentality. This is a great site to learn about the 3g, but the majority of us don't care much for street racing, so yea.

hahaha silly streetracer, this site is for safe people...i'd advise you to go on the .org forums...they'll really love you there...
-as far as your stupidity goes, i've seen people die because of stupid fuckers like you racing around on the streets (they got into a frontal collision with a guy racing someone -on the wrong side of the road) -

do i approve on any streetracer? especially someone who thinks its a career?? hell no!

grow up, go to the track, put some money down, and get your ass handed to ya by a real racer...

streetracing is for teenagers coming outta high school...i've been there, done that, got my tickets, got my frightening awesome 140+ mph feeling...

then a few friends of mine died because of street racing...

GROW UP, BE SAFE => or keep it quiet, dont brag about it...you shouldnt be proud of this, you should be ashamed that you gotta put your life and money on the line just to try to make more...

BTW, half the world knows your license plate now, so just in case you're wondering why you get taken down the next time - it was one of us...you're welcome

oh and welcome to the forums, and good luck with your streetrace career, hope 1 day you realize how stupid it really is...

Street racing is ::ghey3: I think you've watched fast and the furious too many times. Darwin is bound to catch up with soon enough, I just hope you don't take an innocent life or an innocent tree with you when you go. And its your stupid shit that effects everyone elses insurance rates so don't act like your decision to race only impacts you. :retard:

You should go join this website and not waste our bandwidth www.neweclipse.org

Nope, not trying to make a name for myself. Just trying to give you some smart advice. You can take it for what it is worth. But I have had some close encounters with street racing back in my day. I am not perfect. And I never said I was. But I have learned a thing or two in my day. Street Racing will either a. get you in a lot of trouble, or b. killed or kill someone else.

street racing out in BFE is perfectly safe. just ask my cousin cory. he's got a house out in the boonies. oh thats right. he was killed two years ago pulling out of his driveway by some punk ass kid street racing, who also happened to be the son of a local sheriff and walked away with two years probation. but i digress. have fun on them streets. just dont be surprised when karma catches up. oh and good luck with the build-up.
