# Over the top fart can exhausts # Neon lights (Tacky & cheap) # Spoiler kits with pieces missing, in primer or a shocking fit that Ray Charles could spot. # Monster tachs - the worst of the worst IMO # Stock cars using blow off valves - no, if you have one it doesn't make your car fast. # Jap brand stickers on their fenders 1 sticker = 5hp # Show quailty jap cars, interior, exterior paint etc - engine mods? stock # Chrome wheels - tacky, cheap & overrated give me black or stock any day. My 0.02c

What about the flat brimmed hat wearing ricer himself and their ****wit mentality of been materialistic sheep who have to do what everyone does/buys - which pretty much includes all accessories above.
An example, a few mates and I go to the local street drags one night to watch em race down the motorway hoping to see one of the several dozen WRXs and Evos **** itself infront of everyone after a hard launch. As we drove in I heard 'I wish I had that car' looking at me bread and butter Falcon. What a ****er. Yeah, and I wish I was 15 grand in debt and had a WRX on chromes, just like everyone else, all to get some 'respect' from other narrow minded ****wit ricers who live from pay check to pay check :MrT_anim: |

-Purple tint. That **** was all over my XB GT when I bought it.
-Cars with DVD players and playstations. What, is your car so freaking boring that you've got to add an entertainment system? -Flames, I hate them and they're only mildly acceptable on rods. -Fluro wiper arms make me vomit. |

Jeez people whats wrong with a monster tach in the right car . I agree they are a pretty poxy thing to put in a stock auto car particularly if they are mounted on the dash pad for all the world to see. But a tacho was third on my list of have to get gagues after oil pressure and water temp. The reason for this is that the tacho in my xb is 30 years old and probably does not read very accurately and it only goes to 7000 rpm . I have mounted it in the dash where gagues are suppost to go not on the dash pad . My car is also an auto but I never just leave it in d and drive around, my car is also putting out something around the 500 fwhp mark and red lines at 7200 rpm (no dyno figures but with the combo I have it would be around that ) so I kind of saw the need to have a tacho that was at least reasonably accurate and easy to read at a quick glance. So to say only ricer morons put monster tachs in their cars is a bit narrow minded.
My pet hates are blow of valves that make funny noises and big wings on stock looking cars.

Totally agree! I had a 7" in-dash fold away (Pioneer), was awesome. Going up country to get drunk....mates drinking & watching AC/DC DVD's....if there's something wrong with that, I'm in the wrong forums. I think he means in the back of every seat, on the roof, on the trunk?!? etc I don't like that kind of stuff, especially the trunk, WTFs up with that? Lets go park up at New World and watch Drift videos on my trunk........seems these days is less about driving and more about what your car has accessory wise. Not like the muscle car days where is was the less options the better and the bigger engine = the man. :

Tachos are good fun.....if ever at night follow a real shlt box around with a 5" tach on the dash (won't be hard to find a car like this) watch them cruise around the streets....they tach light will flash when he gives it some juice......watch how slow it is and how his tach lights up every time. : Tachos show others when you're going hard.......in most cases (8 out of 10) doing 0-100kph in 15 seconds with their shift light letting the whole world know they were actually gunning it. Forgot another of mine - Altezza lights - WTF!?!?!?!? The ugliest cheapest looking things ever IMO.....nothing says PLASTIC like Altezza style lights.

mate......nothing is wrong with a monster tacho on a car where they serve their purpose..... they're just so widely used by cars that dont need them that they've kinda become a "fassion accessory" if you will....
if your engine needs ancilary guages, then they have their merit |
