What's up with those guys on clubrsx.........are they all spoiled rich kids or what? Sorry, just venting. This forum is a lot more down-to-earth.

[crazy_canuck]

Being on both forums I gotta say.....this is down to earth because there's like 5 of us, more like a chat convo than a forum....ClubRSX is good, although it depends on what questions you ask (ie search before you post) and some people are tools.

[paulkramer]

Yeah, I agree. This is like a little family here.

[mason_RsX]

Who's the mom? Who's the dad? I call black sheep!

and I have never actually checked clubrsx, I dont say much and don't have racing stories or mods...they would porbably eat me alive

[sivic02]

I think Im kind of like the pet dog, not the same kind of car but by gosh I just love you guys! lol. A lot of car specific forums get overrun by jackasses. Check out www.k-series.com A lot fo the stuff is about the ep3 but the rsx community over there is growing every day and most of the people there are nice.


On a side note, if your installing a high flow cat on the RSX make sure someone holds it when your taking the last bolt out, if not youll end up with a huge knot on your head like me....ow...

[paulkramer]

LOL - the engine wasn't running now, was it!!??

[RSX-S777]

I'm the asshole big brother who's always pinning you down and farting in your face. I think tomorrow I'll pants Mason in front of the neighborhood girls...

[paulkramer]

Hmm.....can't you "pants" the neighborhood girls instead?!

Many of them seem to have more Credit Cards than tools.

Get ready to flame me.....
Many of the Domestic car guys in this forum seem to do most of their own work.
Many of those Import car guys in the ClubRSX forum tend to pay someone else to do the work.

DIY is a big part of the fun.

Exactly! Thats one of my big problems with a lot of the "import tuner" crowd. If you are going to mod your car then do it yourself. If someone else does it for you then whats the point in doing it? If someone else does it then its not your car in the greater sense. I get a ton of pride out of doing even little things myself for my car. These kids that take their car into a shop to get an air intake installed need to be taken out and beaten....damn vin diesel and his neon crap...

Also I have had people ask me to help them install things on their car, see thats cool. If you dont feel like you can do something by yourself just ask, someone will be happy to help you. That way you get to learn and if you ever need to do it again or do any work to whatever you have done you will know how to do it.

Mendari- the problem is, some people lack the tools or the confidence to muck around with some of the more intensive mods. I'll mess around under the hood, bolt on an exhaust, intake or even install suspension parts- but I don't cut and weld or drop transmissions. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm a botanist- a professional with a full-time career, not a mechanic. And I'm a car enthusiast, not a street racer. I'll be goddamned if I'm going to fuck up a 25,000 car to prove I'm a man or something. I can and will fix, install and maintain the majority of the time, but I'm no idiot. When I need a mechanic, I have a damn good one and I won't hesitate to take it in. Besides, maybe the reason domestic guys do most of their own work is due to the fact that American cars are complete shit and the cost of professional labor alone would total more than they earn in a year.

[crazy_canuck]

I agree with S777.

Whilst I prefer and try to do my own mods, sometimes it should be done by a pro. Even a simple thing like a tint isn't really a DIY project, so is some heavy engine work. And when it comes to lip kits, boltons, etc. most CRSX'ers do it themselves.

[paulkramer]

Hey!! What about my request?!

Yeah, you are all correct. Doing it yourself is the fun part, but S777 is also correct. I have a full-time nightmare (I mean job) and I don't have the time or energy any more to do a lot of stuff on my car. The psychos at work drain all that initiative out of me daily. Which is primary reason I gave up my domestic for my RSX. I could see that I was going to have to start using vacation time to make repairs!!

I think you're right about clubrsx - yesterday this kid, who's avatar reads "I hate college" was complaining about his Acura dealer because they didn't want to replace a broken fog lamp!! What the hell!! I mean, MAYBE insurance would pay for it, depending on the circumstances. The kicker is - after telling them about daddy's BMW and mommy's Lexus, they replaced it!!! Maybe he just bugged the crap out of them, like this woman I work with, until they caved and gave him what he wanted.

What's wrong with this country?! I think I'll move to Canada!!

BTW - S777 - you're a botanist!? Cool! I love plants, but am more of an amateur horticulturist. Tropicals. Crowding me out of my apartment at the moment.

[RSX-S777]

Paul, I will grant your request to pants those girls...as soon as some show their faces around here. I think the prospect of seeing Mas with his pants down may have scared them off. And I understand your plant sickness. It's very similar to our obsession with cars and often as expensive. Shelled out 189$ for one 6" plant last year on Ebay.

[sivic02]

It may have scared away the girls but it sure got my atention :

I used to be into botany when i was in high school, until my dad found the plant growing in my closet and made me throw it out...just glad he never found the ones in the back yard
