16 yr. old 2.5i owner.
 

For all the ppl who gave me a bunch of $h1t in my post about re-mapping where I said I was 16 and had a 2.5i...I want to make this very clear...THE 2.5i IN AMERICA IS 5 SPD. 175 HP NON-TURBO (NATURALLY-ASPIRATED)...NOT THE 300 HP TEENAGE KILLING MACHINE YOU WERE ALL REFERRING TO IN MY LAST POST ABOUT RE-MAPPING...oh, and I think 1 guy answered my question, thnx to him...and to the rest of u...get ur facts straight next time please b4 u start the criticism.

I:norty: m gettin visions of you takin an assault rifle to school and blowing everyone away

:lol1: ha ha ha ha.......:lol1: :lol1:

LOL... great minds and all that.. :lol:

Dude, (or whatever you guys call yourselves over there:D), chill out.

175 bhp is STILL a lot of ponies for a young lad with no experience.
My youngest has just rolled, and written off, a 100bhp Saxo:eek: Rolled it down a 50 foot embankment.........AND WALKED AWAY FROM IT with nothing but a couple of minor bumps and a few scratches from brambles received climbing back up the embankment. Doing no more than 50 mph, according to witnesses who stopped at the scene, on a wet road. Braked, back end stepped out, tried to correct it, clipped a kerb and WHAM!

The traffic officer told me that she'd attended accidents where the car was FAR less damaged than my lad's, and the drivers were pulled out dead:(

People on here aghast at you driving a car like yours, even if "only" 175 bhp, are probably fathers, (like me), brothers, uncles etc, thinking of how your parents/friends/siblings are going to feel if you total it, and DON'T walk away.

Take care, Alcazar

There are no corners in america, he'll be fine.

should this kind of angst not be saved for your myspace blog?

Spent first three years driving a 1.0 Nova after passing my test - should be the rule IMHO.......

Not necesarily a Nova.....there all 2 litres now :lol1:

But 60/70 bhp max sounds about right....

Flamesuit zipped up....;)

In England there is no chance a lad of your age could afford to buy, insure and run a scoob of any description. Ignore the idiots, enjoy YOUR car.

wrong.... and ignorant:brickwall

how is it that i have a 2006 STi.... i live in cambs..... and i am 21? i also pay for my wifes new accord.... it could be done, not easily though.

If your based in LA, you need an SUV as your first car so you don't have to worry about feejits blabbing on their cellphones whilst lane swapping on the freeway squashing your tin can Geo (Subaru Justy/Suzuki Swift) into the concrete median.

Also I reccomend a gun rack in the passenger seat and plastic sugery to extend your middle index fingers ;)

engine must be 5000cc + and you have to be partially drunk.:lol1:

Fair play to you lucky boy! 16 years old and you are driving around in a two door classic! cool!:thumb:

:sleep:Some ppl have no idea.

<sarcasm> there are no corners in america, he'll be fine </sarcasm>

actually the 2.5i is a newage 4 door with a 2.5 fully open deck engine.... decent car.... just lacks power. same weight as a wrx.

thanks for clearing that up chief.

careful you guys !

You all know the americans enjoy nothing more then a bout of death by friendly fire http://pages.infinit.net/bluefire/Im...sfiring_v1.gif

I can just see him now,arriving at highschool and the cheerleaders crowding round listening to FI-DI pumping through the head unit,and then off for a drag race against a 24 litre vette owned by the rich kids father :rolleyes:

mark

is that not the opening scene to fast and furious 3 Tokyo drift?


you got to be more original then that ethan? :lol1:

Based on true events so im told,the friendly fire part definately is :mad:

There's a lot of young ones in this thread tickling their own balls whilst stroking their egos :D:p

And remember in America everythngs bigger, The cars, the engines, the fuel consumptions, the egos................but there's no such thing as global warming or green house gases, save the polar bear!!!!

To be fair to him you are judging him by Uk standards.

I'd imagine it's completey different attitudes about over there.

Fair play to him I say,wish it was like it over here in a way.

By the way,no worries about my 'helpful';) post.:)

Yeah!

its not there fault all this global warming/ozone layer jobbie,its that small island the other side of the atlantic thats destroying the world

TAX THEM..........
TAX THEM ALL TO DEATH

because taxing us silly amounts of money on everything we buy is gonna save the world isnt it :rolleyes:

having read the original post , i don't think a lot of people realised that you live in the US , hence the flack you took .

no, but it sure does fill the queens pockets....:lol1:

What was it you said?

Oh yes. Wrong...and ignorant :brickwall

Go look up some basic principles of how the exchequer works, there's a good chap.

Dont take my comments to heart, i stand buy what i said, 175 bhp is still a massivly powerfull car for a driver barely out of nappys and its just crazy for a first time car owner. Its nothing to do with jelously because if ur dad wants to buy u it then fair play, its about common sense and not being a danger to ur self and other road users. \

And dont tell me ur going to b driving it like has if u had Miss Daisy in the back because u wont, we all like to show off once in awhile.

We have a law here in Ireland where u cant drive a motor bike over 500cc intill ur over 25 and have 2 years experiacne, there should b a similar law for cars and young first time drivers.

Also judging by the response u made to the last post u dont come across has the most mutur person here. All i can say to u is take it easy and keep the showing off to a mimimum.

:iamwithst hmmmm... 1776 ring a bell, something about a bunch of farmers beating the most advanced army of the time.... if your going to bring up the past buddy, at least remember not to leave out the best part.

1776...when a bunch of 2nd generation Brits beat a bunch of German mercenaries.

Yep, I love history :) Especially the real stuff...

:D

PS I do actually like Americans and the US generally. We'll leave George Dubya out of it for now. I just can't resist a cheap shot ;)
