Default Step by Step V8 conversion

The time has come to release what we have been researching for quite a bit. It has taken many hours, but now we can finally say it is done.

No we did not install a MB motor in the car, we went an entirely different route.

Check out the link to hear exactly what our new beast sounds like:

I remember when I was still in auto tech school, there was a douvhebag that started when I did. He thought he was king **** on the isle of turds because he was on that show Unique Whips. Funny thing is that when you saw him on TV it was always the guys were making fun of him. Anyway, because of working there, he thought he knew a lot about audio and "pimped" out his car. He took that Soundracer one step further. When UTI rented out Maple Grove Raceway for our UTI Day at the Drags, he had on CD sound clips of car engines and ran it through his PA system so that everyone else heard it instead of it just being noise in the cabin...

Gee that ought to bring out the P & V in the kids so that they can get a ticket in their kia with the soundracer. Unique but selfstimulating and sure to lead to wearing thick glasses.

Creative but $100, humm?

These are only $39.00 and yes they have a v-10 one. I am honestly considering becoming a distributor, not because I think it's a good product, but because the dumbest most useless stuff is what sells in America.

Just imagine if you got on the 4" exhaust tip with 8" "race muffler" Honda exhaust thing before it got big. You'd be rich, not very well respected in your community, but rich!

you know, as i get older, i'm really beginning to believe this. maybe compulsory junior college/a.a./technical school might be the remedy. uuuhh, so we can catch up with germany or something.

Anthony, please remove this thread because it is in poor taste. Please refrain from contributing anything contraband, i.e. not pertaining to politics, how cool we are because we have crossfires, and how it is useless to modify an NA crossfire unless you are making it shinier. Thank you.

My theory is if you put this on your car you will automatically think your car is faster. This will in turn make you drive faster to show off your fast sounding car. At this point the wind will be moving faster over your vehicle then it ever has before. Much like a sand blaster, the high rush of the air will polish the outside of your car, and thus it will be shinier!

Now it can stay open.
