Default na vs boost?

this is a subject that has probably been touched on before but since everything i talk to seems to favor boost (because its easier and faster) i wanted to see other people's opinions on the matter

my god.. it gets worse every day.
I scan the new posts looking for that little gem, that special new gift...
and its either this or about offsets and spacers.

I swear to sweet, sweet 8 lb baby Jesus, i search for like 2 days at work before i actually post threads anymore.

I cant express how hard I laughed at the part bolded above

Please for your own preservation, dont mod the car period, you have the mental capacity of 12yr old with Downs, and the wallet of a welfare recipient. No way anybody with half a brain could make enough money to boost or make such stupid fawking statements.

Fawk this site in the a$$ more and more everytime some young kid signs up cuz he just bought an 03' Z and wants hp on the cheap

Your first thread

https://my350z.com/forum/new-owners/...3-black-z.html

You mention you cant even do Volks because of price and you are asking about boost? Whhaaaaat?

I actually enjoy these threads.

The car scene has changed man, in a bad way. Less and less true knowledgable car guys, guys that know a little or a lot about most every platform. Back in my day everybody knows everyones $hit so you can scout them if you run them lol. Im still like that and I havent run people in forever.

Now a days these young kids dont want to learn $hit, they are happy taking "advice" from random people on the internet without doing the research.

They dont want hp, they want "hellaflush" approved and want to put a 245 tire on a 10.5" rim. They want dark tint and a DD head unit, not learn how to actually drive. Fawking weaksauce.

Car scene is getting sad man, this is why I get asked stupid fawking Q's anytime I pop my hood. "how can you have 2 intakes and 1 TB? is that a high capacity radiator in the front? is that line for Nozzzz? if its twin turbo then where are the turbos?"

Instead of boost have you considered carbon fiber offsets?

fkin A. thats what awm talkin bout.



Nah seriously tho ur right man.. i dont even go to import shows becuase the younger crowd just walks around and looks for flaws in cars... its INSANE.

I go out to Westworld here in Scottsdale to the Goodguys World of Wheels hot rod shows, and its older guys.... everyones friends w ea other, theyre all enjoying thier company.. and theres thousands of years of combined "tried that on an engine back in 73" experience jsut walking around there.. sooooooo much more enjoyable.

Anyways, im out. Nothing more to add here..

OP, you've been sentenced to virtual death by stoning in the courtyard at noon. ..

My favorite though is when someone walks up and the first thing they say is something along the lines of "sweet! Cold air intakes!"

so true, its not about how can i improve handling or wanting advice on how to launch the car better at the strip what the right approach to take an apex, its how far can my wheels stick out and camber out or where they can take there car to get illegal tint done. can i fit a 215/30/19 on my 11 inch wheel?
