Then you've failed chemistry. N2O has 2 nitrogen molecules and 1 oxygen molecule. The nitrogen acts a buffer which is why the oxygen doesn't ignite at room temperature. Nitrogen is also 80% of the earth's atmosphere which is why the planet doesn't go up in a ball of fire when we light something. Nitrous produces power not because it burns, it produces power because the nitrogen molecules breaks down at high temperature and leaves only oxygen molecules. hence why it's an oxidizer. Gasoline is a much more flammable, and there's a huge tank of it sitting underneath your car. |

This is worthless, because I was forced to attend court anyway. I couldn't postpone it more than once. So I went to court, presented my side and why I was speeding (when asked), and I got minimum sentencing. Which was 500 dollars and 36 hours of community service. The maximum sentence involves 1000 dollars and TIME in JAIL so I'm happy that it turned out this way anyway. Look, the district has been having problems with speeding so they make all 30+ mph tickets a mandatory court appearance. And I own a Subaru Legacy station wagon. It's completely not flashy. @ other post

how fast were you going, when i get pulled over im extremely respectful to law enforcement and have gotten out of many tickets doing so. Best of luck.
IF you have this so called built engine phantom, it can easily handle the high temp. of nos when it is used. hood picks...how is an s2k too attractive when you have a knockoff WRC evo/sti hood. |

But, to answer your question, it's because if I were to purchase the said S2000, give it a carbon fiber hood and other things that are not as obvious to lighten the body, it becomes more of an eye catcher to the police than my Civic. Even without the hood, it's already seen as a "sports car" by the police and insurance. At least the Civic manages to get below the radar a little better. |

I didn't have time. I had to move to another city around this time for university, and I wasn't about to fuck up my plans for education just to get around a speeding ticket.

you still fail to provide a hood shot to prove this twin charged setup
ive dealt with SC's and Turbo's gallore on honda motors, theyre is hardly room for one room without massive firewall bending, let alone a turbo and SC. um, last time i checked exterior modified civics get way more attention than stock looking/CF oem hooded S2ks. I'm not meaning to be disrespectful, but you've already raised many red flags with your lack of knowledge with some pretty basic automotive mechanics and how things work. |

Regardless if you did or didn't it's always nice to have a lawyer to help reduce your sentence.
I don't know how it is over where you live but here in Jersey points on a license tend to stick with you for a very long time and they increase insurance rates drastically. A few years ago i got ticketed for Careless driving, Tailgating and doing 45 in a 25 all in one night (don't ask...it was a moment of stupidity) which was 2, 5 and 4 points respectively. Now...I know what i did, I had no excuses to why i did it like i told the officer that pulled me over but that still doesn't mean that I didn't hire a lawyer to help reduce my penalties. Granted I wasn't gonna take the tickets to trial cause if i did chances are i would lose that fight, but by hiring the lawyer he got the courts to lower my points to just 5 points for all 3 tickets and i just had to pay a slightly higher fine. Which if you ask me is well worth the effort just because having 5 points on the license is a lot better then 11 (actually just 1 point shy of having my license suspended here). In your case, you got a decently small sentence, which a lawyer might've helped lower especially considering that it was your first offense so it might not've helped much but never rule out bringing a lawyer into court with you even if you are completely at fault. |

I had a feeling I was being baited and reeled into trying to force me to show pictures of what (or at least was) under my hood. But, I'll be a sport by offering this; My team is planning to do a roadtrip all over the US summer of next year. I'd say around July-September-ish. We're still ironing out the plan. I'll be with them. I may not have the same setup anymore, but we can meet up with you and I'll show you what I have, but only after we're done with the races in your area.
Uh, I never said the S2000's, if I were to get one, the hood would not remain OEM looking. I'd still go for the carbon fiber hood. So, of course it would get attention. Now, if they both had no exterior "modifications," then of course the S2000 would attract more attention. Plus, like I said before, the insurance would be higher for the S2000 than the Civic either way. And also, if the police had to choose between the two with carbon fiber hoods that may or may not appear to be a simple black OEM hood or a carbon fiber one, they would more than likely go for the S2000. |

lol ru jk
fine i-70/i-25 denver area i will crush you guys in all honesty ive provided 2 engine/hood shots...im still calling your bluff im curious i just looked at your car pic you posted...where is your FMIC, there isnt room for a TMIC or SMIC in honda bays. the SC assembly itself blocks all room for a SMIC and TMIC. and cheaper? maybe if your insuring it without telling them about mods....if you insured telling them the cost in mods, no way in hell would it be cheaper than a s2k. s2ks are reaching the price of just your mods combined. not only your car. |

Other than that, you'll have to direct me to the haunted area of Colorado. I've been hearing stories from former residents of that state. Sounds really fun to visit. Such as there's suppose to be some kind of bridge or something where you hear things, yet there's no one or nothing there. Also, I heard there's some kind of house on a hill or something that if you get close enough, park and open your car door, you'll hear something that sounds like a heartbeat. Quote:

Though, I'm not sure why you're comparing a modded Civic to a stock S2000 in terms of sales price. Of course a stock S2000 would cost less. It has yet to be modified. Apples and oranges. Plus, I never said that my Civic has a D17, which I'm presuming is what this is based on. |

But, just to clarify, I didn't just remove the twincharger. I also removed the high-mileage K and bought a new one, then reworked it from there. But, believe what you want. |

so essentially, i couldve said i had a 4000 whip nosed, twin charged, pt150 quadruple turboed 4 cylinder and your expecting me to believe you had what essentially adds up to the same thing in my eyes.
Furthermore i think you should say your auto mechanic worked on it...if you seriously dont know what FI is....that isnt exactly endearing to your mechanical skills. |

I -did- say my mechanic worked on it. (See previous posts.) But, at least my mechanic was cool enough to let me put on some overalls and gloves, and help him with some things that weren't too difficult or complicated to do, while explaining some things to me. It doesn't mean I absorbed and/or understood everything he told me. So, if anything, I can at least say things like, "Hey, I helped put in my turbo, but don't expect me how or why it was put in the way it was put in. That's a question for the mechanic." |
