They actually butchered a Sprit R to do that! What a sham!!!
glad i found a car that creates more flames then mine hehehe
What makes you think its a Spirt R? I cant see anything Spirit R related on the car.

I was gonna say that. It\'s got a little badge on the wing that could be anything, but the wheels, bumper, spoiler, everything else are completely wrong :confused:. Anyone with an eBay account can stick a Spirit R badge on anything nowadays, even people who really ought to know better, as witnessed by at least one FC and RX-8 wearing them at Rotorstock. Talk about diluting the brand :rolleyes: Might as well have a "Ferrari" MR2 :mad:

String them up! not sure if I should laugh or cry!
To be fair, the spirit badge doesn\'t loon out of place on Pete\'s old FC....

Eh? I
would argue the point there, but I don\'t want to accquire a reputation lol. However, I would respectfully posit the theory that it looks out of place on anything that isn\'t actually a Spirit R :confused:. On the rather simple grounds that, well, it
isn\'t a Spirit R.
No disrespect to Pete or whoever actually stuck the thing on there, etc, etc. It is of course their car and they can do whatever they like to it.
Well at least we can all be grown up about it eh?
Yep .
Unless that last post was in fact biting sarcasm?
You\'ll know when I break out the sarcasm!

Well, if it\'s that obvious then I\'ll look out for it ;). Let me know if you need some tips on how to do it properly then, yeah? :rollin
People who stick Spirit R badges onto anything that is not a Spirit R should be shot on sight!!!!! I hate badge engineering with a passion
Does this mean if i put a GTX badge on my T2, inplace of the turbo II badge then i\'m an arse hole and will be shot on sight >.<
yes you need to find a gun and place it to your temple and squeeze the trigger :rollin
Dunno, I\'m a little hazy on 2nd gen nomenclature, Ben. Wasn\'t the GTX GTU etc series of names a USDM and JDM sort of thing?
I dunno, each to their own, but things like that just seem a bit sad. It\'s like the kid borrowing his mum\'s shopping Civic and putting Type-R badges on it, or 20-year old with an NA Skyline putting GTR badges on it and parking up at the drive through trying to look cool. Or wearing tour T-shirts from a concert you weren\'t at, or putting letters after your name without letting on that BSc actually stands for "Bronze Swimming Certificate" lol
Well yeah, i\'d have been guilty for going for the JDM look. Just think the GTX badges look 100,000 times better than the Turbo II ones.
Crappy looking Turbo II badge...

Much better lookin \'GTX\' badges.

You got to agree the GTX ones are much better!
yes but its not a GTX your car lol
But as far as i\'m aware there is no difference other than the rear lights. Nevermind, for you blitz i\'ll replace them with RE-A stickers or something, or is that not allowed either? :p
Big LOL :cheers
Changing stickers makes your car faster. By just a adding a \'turbo\' sticker you gain 100hp easily.
Quality...
Edit - Grant as amusing as you are, i am aware that changing stickers doesn\'t make my car faster :p
i\'ve actually been meaning to get a "VVT" or "16v" badge off of an econobox for ages.
it\'d amuse me anyway.
Blitzen, that\'s classic :rollin I always thought Jon as more a sorta AMC Pacer guy myself
I have a 1.3 badge ready and waiting to on the brown one! :Giggle
I\'m getting some nitro meth stickers for my rx4, that way no one gona :censored::censored::censored::censored: with me. Hehehe.

Nitro Meth, apparently, is for :censored:
Arrrgh! :censored: the :censored:in swear filter! Surely we ought to be allowed to say "pussies"!? :D
I took the V6 badges off my old Ford Mondeo and replaced them with 16v badges. Do I get a chinese burn?
Plus, I don\'t know what kind of jet he\'s running but only a ten second pass? It can\'t be getting enough air!
