This thread is from 2001 some newb brought it back from the dead.

So just move along instead of making yourself look lika an @ss like others have.

Thank you, :rolleyes:

I have a 94 Prelude V-tech besides my 69 Mach I. If you want good advise on Honda's I'd go to Superhonda.com. There are some real knowledgeable Honda people to help you there

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

I wouldn't really call that a "good" tranny! :rolleyes:

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

I'm sorry to rain on your little Prelude parade but who cares what you do with some old Honda?

This is a Mustang site and posting about some POS Prelude you bought is a bore, if not an insult to our membership. Buy what you want and drive what you wish but don't waste MW's bandwidth bragging about some ricemobile and the NAWWWWWASSSS you wanna stick on the thing to make it get out of it's own way.

I own a Honda too, for transportation, but I don't post here about it because I have more respect for the site. Something you might consider trying.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

Wow, Jim. Someone jumping up and down on your last nerve?

I don't really see the problem as this is posted in the blue oval. Isn't telling everyone you got a different car kinda like (or better than) telling everyone you got a different girlfriend :D.

Not that I would know.... :(

Hope you get that thing running fast, Dark. You should see John's (84GT350) plans for his '84. All I'll say is that it involves a big ol' blow-suck-blow (turbo) and a larger than stock 302. Can you say 700 hp at the wheels? Yikes.

Hey beats telling him you have his girlfriend.
I really don't understand the whole import V. US war thing. The love for cars should be able to cross the boundaries. I own both & I've dusted a number of Stangs with it. Would I rice it out.... HECK NO! I'd look as stupid as that Stang with a dinner table for a spoiler. The VTECH engine is slicker than hot snot on glass. Anyway I directed him to Superhonda.com which will take care of his needs.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

Well, beings this is the Blue Oval lounge, I can see why you might post about the honda here. BUT....unless it was too say I picked up a beater and I am gonna beat it to death, it will not be well received on THIS board.

Anyone who tries to honestly claim they beat many stangs with a vtec that was not nicely modified, I have to throw the B.S. flag on.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

Well, Nathan, I don't see it that way. No one is preventing 'Dark_ 5.0' from posting about his new/old Honda purchase but it seems a bit out of place on a Mustang site - and I retain the right to criticize the subject of his thread. There are a million Honda/ricer websites anyone can post on to talk about some old ricemobile he wants to resurrect with an NOS kit. However, the fact remains that this site is dedicated to Mustang people and although many of us also own other makes of cars (I admitted I own a Honda Civic - it's listed on my profile) we don't generally post about them because nobody cares. I can go to a Honda-specific website and get all the Honda info I need and receive good info and lots of support - for my Honda. I come here to either talk about Mustangs or interesting non-automotive topics - but not ricers.

The thread exists, the original post was made and I added my criticism. At this point it isn't worth further discussion, to me.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

Taking over the keyboard for a minute. This is Paul 69 Mach I's son Scott.

Why doesn't everyone quit ragging on this guy for building up a Honda.

Mr. 5.0 -- This goes for you in particular seeing how you're the most avid "rice hater" in this thread. Why do you even care what this guy does with his car. Does it personally cause any harm to you when this guy decides to put money into a car that HE owns? I would understand if he said "Hey! Mr 5.0 has this 86 Prelude and I'm gonna put NAWWWWWWWS (as you put it) on it" and you were offended. The guy can do whatever he wants with his car just like you can.

As a 1994 Honda Prelude VTEC and 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass S owner, I can proudly say that I respect both sides for their attributes. They both have their pro's and con's.

Personally, I dumped over $5000 into the Cutlass and the Prelude still dusts it with just an intake and header. And let me guess what your response will be: "[southern accent] I don't care what no gosh darn rice mobile can do to some piece of trash GM product[/southern accent]". Ok... well the Prelude will also dust my Dad's 1969 Mach 1... Wait! I know what you'll say now: "[southern accent] well that's some tired old pony car that don't got no go left in her! I'd likes to see some gosh darn 4-banger honda piece of garbage go up against a fuel injected 5.0! YEEEEEEHAW![/southern accent]"

Wait... I did... haha. Beat that car also... Blew his doors off right off the line and pulled hard on him... he finally caught up at 120mph but the quarter mile was over so guess what! He lost too...

I think I know your problem... I think that you suffer from the same syndrome that muscle car owners were infected with when the Grand National came out. You fear what you don't know... and you're too closed minded to do research into what actually makes these cars fast. Instead of looking into things, you just sit back, drink your miller high life, chew on your skoal, and complain about what other people do with THEIR CARS!!!

Who cares if an Import Enthusiast decides to use Nitrous Oxide on their car... it's just another method of forced induction. Some of the fastest street legal mustangs out there run nitrous.

I agree that RICERS are annoying... however, anyone that puts money into a performance import isn't a ricer. Ricers are people who cut off their muffler, weld on a coffee can, build themselves a plywood spoiler in their garage, and think they run high 8's in the 1320. I totally agree that these people are idiots... I'll be the first to admit it! However, you fail to see that there are DOMESTIC ricers out there too...

I think that you are a closed minded bigot who needs to get educated... Your mustang is NOT God... You will roll up next to a 4-cylinder that WILL blow your doors off some day. Why don't you show some respect for people who are different than yourself. Just because you enjoy a fire breathing V8 doesn't mean that someone else can't enjoy something else.

Search the web... you'll find numerous videos of civics dusting Vipers, Camaros, Mustangs, you name it...

Personally... I think that I would rather have a street driven Honda, with a full interior, and nice stereo, that could dip into the low 13's on Nitrous (and a fully built race motor by Golden Eagle) than a Mustang that could lay down 10's, not be driven daily, get 2 gpm (gallons per mile), have 1 seat and no sound insulation, break down on me on the way home, and get me laughed at while I sit on the side of the road with my F.O.R.D. (found on road dead...).

www.superhonda.com/forum is a good place to start your education... they're educated enough to fight back against your "V8 Utopia" arguments too... why don't you read a little and learn to accept that not everyone has a V8 like you because not everyone needs to compensate for their manhood... like you....

~Sincerely,
~Scott (IHIPrelude94 on superhonda.com)

P.S. -- Don't ban my father from the forum because of me... this will be the last time I post here. If you have something to settle with me I'll see you on superhonda.com

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

OK I have to apologize for the last post.

This is why you should not leave your computer unattended.

While I agree with many of his points he could have been more tactful. Maybe it's just my love of cars, I just don't see nor do I understand the whole Import Vs. American battle. Both make some darn nice cars. Again I apologize for his less than tactful (at times) response.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

chill out with the "its a disgrace to post something like that on this board and a waste of bandwidth" i mean ...the guy can post whatever he wants within the rules
hey i dont mind hondas and imports ...a DOHC 1.6 si motor makes close to 1.65 hp/per cubic inch ...i dont see a stock mustang getting over 1 hp per cube ..cept the 05

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

Ok, the name calling is B.S. and was not needed. Mr 5.0 made a valid point beings this is the MUSTANGworks.com.

This board has a lot of highly knowledgeable guys when it comes to our beloved fords, and I would suspect we might even be able to find our way around a v-tec should we need too.

Hopefully he will stay over at superhonda.com, cause I personally don't care to see that crap again. With that being said, to Dark 5.0, I would rather see you put that money into your mustang. Good luck with the project.
Ryan

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

ah.......stupid honda owners.......you gotta love em :rolleyes:

I'm sure he's proud he can beat a 5.0......most likley a 200K mile, 2.73 equiped, AOD

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

Get a grip, Scott.

I never questioned anyone's 'right' to buy, modify and drive whatever they choose and I have already stated that in a previous post. I simply questioned the validity of the original Prelude-centered post by 'Dark_5.0' - on a Mustang board. Your hysterical defensive reaction to my original post is borderline ridiculous as is your juvenile and absurd cartoon characterization of who I am and what I think. I have no interest in your dreary little accounts of your beloved GM and Japanese cars. That you feel the need to validate yourself with these vehicles is your option and you are welcome to them if they excite you much. That obviously doesn't take very much. However, the point remains that I never questioned that there are many fast cars on the road other than Mustangs. I simply questioned the wisdom off posting about an old Prelude here. I have the option of doing that, just as you have the option of posting your fevered disagreement to it. O.K.? Try to stay focused, Scott.

You are really becoming a bore here, Scott. I never said what anyone can and can't do with THEIR CAR (as you put it). I simply questioned the propriety of posting it here as I criticized the post, which is my right, too, as a member of this site.

Your totally inaccurate depiction of who I am is nonsensical. My eight years on this forum have defined me as nothing like what you seem to imagine. That you are unaware of this is your error.

No, I do not 'fail to see' that and I also don't fail to puke at them when I do see them. What this has to do with my original post is hard to fathom but then, since we're engaging in amateur psychiatry here, your entire post has been somewhat strange. Mostly juvenile bluster motivated by a sense of bloated self-importance and a distinct lack of self control.

Ah, Scott, light some incense, breathe deeply and relax a bit, will you? Lose the name-calling, too. It just makes you look foolish and frustrated.

In your misbegotten rush to defend imports you have drifted into the Twlight Zone here. You seem to forget that you are posting on a website dedicated to Mustangs, not Japanese or European cars, GM vehicles or Chrysler products. That I was mildly displeased with a post about a Mustang owners old Prelude he bought was and remains my perogative to indulge and I do not apologize for having an opinion that you don't happen to like, Scott. I suggest that you get over it - and yourself - go play with your GM and Japanese cars and cool off.

I have no authority to ban anyone and I believe I have responded quite fully to your juvenile little tirade, Scott. Now go play with your toys and leave the folks who actually own and prefer a Mustang to posting about their performance vehicle of choice - on their Mustang site. Thank you. :)


Boy, the stuff I have to put up with some days!

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

As expected the backlash has arrived. Personally it's deserved, you don't go into someone's home & tell them their wife is ugly. Doesn't matter if it is true or not, you just don't do it.
Sorry I left the computer unattended & sorry it was posted under my screen name. If it occurs again I can guarantee a couple broken legs he'll be sporting. That should slow down his shifting time.
I will say though be careful of the imports, I have one & it is faster than you might think. I love my Mustangs but sure respect some of the other cars out there.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

Boy some of yall should feel dumb.

This thread is 4 years old. I sold that car 3 years ago.

Mr 5.0----As super slow as this site is you shouldnt be picky about any post. 4 years ago when I posted this there were a few members this thread was directed to and you were not one of them.

But thanks for caring.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

You might consider trying reading the date of the post and realize this post is 4 years old and some newb brought it back up.

At the time it was posted it was relevant to a few members that used to be on here.

I ended up selling the car for practicly nothing to someone less fortunate.

Dont talk to me about respecting this dead web site. I am probably the most active member on here at this time. I spend most of my time in Windsor power and not cause I need help but to help others.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

LMAO.....owned by Jim

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

This whole thread is a matter of opinion and I could give a phuck about his.

If the moderators of this site would bother to show up every now and then this thread would have been deleted when it was brought back from the dead.

he will either write a 3 page response trying to defend his very weak position or he will take the easy way out and just not respond either way i could care less.

Anyone that has a problem with this post that I made 4 years ago can suck my root.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

you guys are girls man ...makes me want to put a wing and some stickers on my cars for some reason... a badass double decker wing at that

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

Thanks for the update.

Good for you. I used to be the moderator of that forum and it's nice to know some folks still keep it up.

Frankly, my mild little criticism of your old 'Prelude' post seems to have woken up the Blue Oval Lounge forum somewhat. Interesting. All it takes a touch of 'controversy'. I used to supply that here all the time. Now, I leave it others and, alas, few take up the challenge. Maybe you can rise to the occasion. If not, don't complain about a 'dead' web site, something MW is definitely not. Just ask Dan McClain.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

I have never been one to shy away from controversy.

I figured you were just stirring the $hit,

I found your criticism to be more than mild since I am an anti-ricer.

The site as a whole may do well but the forums are damn slow.

Lets let this thread die Again!!!

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

I resent the implications inherent in that comment.

I've been a member of Mustang Works for almost 8 years (in May), twice as long as you have been here. I practically built this site - as far as the message boards go - having been the Messageboard administrator as well as the Windsor Power moderator for close to 5 years. I paid my dues here with untold hours of posting and editing and answering questions. How do you think I reached over 7,000 posts? I have engaged in weeks-long, multiple-page debates over many major issues on this forum for years. Granted, I do not post here often these days as there is little for me to comment on, but I visit the BOL every day. I don't see you here very often.

As for your unfortunate 'coward' remark: Prehaps you have something you would like to debate with me here besides some old Honda you bought and sold four years ago. If so, I'll be happy to oblige, assuming you are able to have a civil discussion without the cursing and name-calling you seem to fall back on when words fail you, as they seem to do fairly often. If not, then you have nothing to whine about. I gladly exchange messages with other posters when we both have something worthwhile to discuss. If name-calling and clumsy attempts at playing internet tough guy are all you have to offer then we are about done here.

Yet you've posted on the thread a number of times to repeatedly address my original comments and you sent me a nasty, name-calling PM. Odd, for someone who doesn't give a ...what was that word, again?...about my opinion. It's obvious that you do. It's also painfully obvious that you are incapable of accepting even the slightest criticism about anything and have reacted like a schoolboy who is being teased, lashing out with curses and bravado that fools no one. Must be a maturity issue for you.

Talk is cheap. Why don't you volunteer as a moderator and make everything right? If not, don't criticize those who volunteer their time here.

Until you post yet another reply to me - proving how 'you could care less'. Right.

That's your final answer? A juvenile little snarl? O.K. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

I agree - and I sincerely apologize if I came off as too harsh - but being called a 'coward' and an 'A-hole' (in your PM) tends to have that effect. Still, mutual name-calling helps no one and I am sorry I let it get to that point, for my part.

I also regret allowing this resurrected, ancient thread to escalate into a big argument that has no real point to it.

Lets drop it. :)

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

Dark 5.0,
You usually have something good to add to people's posts and give good advice/knowledge.

Why the crappy attitude towards the website? No one makes you come here.
Ryan

Re: "I BOUGHT AN ABUSE VICTIM"!!!
 

I think I'm going to kill this while we're ahead.

Oh, and FYI, I'm here as often as I can be. Some of us are busy doing worthwhile things with their lives instead of complaining about outdated, irrelevant threads on internet message boards....like going to college. :)

Some ppl need to learn when to drop it and walk away, imho.

Sorry I can't elaborate more, but I have to finish up two reports for tomorrow's classes. Have a nice life.
