Are you a racer or ricer?, test Options

[amysmojo]

I havent taken this test yet...I keep getting interrupted at work HOW annoying

But heres the link to the test: http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=5930412964040605221

You scored -21%
You are a respectable tuner. You probably subscribe to one or more tuner magazines and know, quite a bit about your car and/or racing in general. Either that or you play a ****load of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.

[chucho]

i think they lower my score cause the second to last i put more in looks than performance lol non-racer

[amysmojo]

damn heres mine:

The Non-Racer
You scored 4%
One of two things happened if you received this rating. Either you know absolutely nothing about tuner culture and chose "no idea" often. In this case, i guess i could say congratulations, but really you wasted your time taking this test...actually this test is a waste of time for everyone. The second option is a little rarer. You must be someone that knows a lot about either mechanics or racing, but jack about the other subject....or you're just guessing. Either way, congratulations....you're mediocre...but still not a ricer, for which you should be thankful

haha & I had to guess on a lot of those cause i dont know a lot about engines etc (& im a girl ), hey natalie what are your results?


CHUCHO: whats your %???

I put sportier compact, our cars are sportier than a Civic or Protege.

Congratulations. You are the real thing. Chances are you could tear down your engine and put it back together in a weekend. You know a decent amount about racing dynamics. The "FATHF" culture has been a bane to your existence since you've been in the game for years before that horrid movie was released. Auto-x, drag racing, track time, you know enough to not sound like an ass while talking about it, and you can probably hold your own on the track too. Race on, good citizen, for you are a true Racer.

[amysmojo]

Did u all get this same picture w/ your results?

[Supersprynt]

no

[Consynx]

i got the same as you amy...but -4%
i think it hurt a lot that im fwd, auto, have only done looks so far, and have yet to buy a jack to do my own oil

hey, it's only $20 to get it changed anyways and takes 10mins...
for my 60K service i got rid of the synthetic w/ the flush, so...yea

that test still hurt

oh yea, wtf IS nissan's "V-tech"
i had no clue they even had some kind of variable cams..though only VVTl-i and V-Tech

[Consynx]

What's the correct order?
Intake, Power, Compression, Exhaust
Power, Exhaust, Intake, Compression
Exhaust, Power, Intake, Compression
Intake, Compression, Exhaust, Power
this question doesn't even have the right answer
intake,compression,power,exhaust is what it ShOULD be, because the power comes from the combustion...

[Consynx]

if i had a manual, and changed my own oil...
and i changed the civic exhaust from 2" to 2.5", but it really should be 2.25"


this is the pic that comes Amy:

[ghostdog]

-19% but I'm deathly ill and I could barely focus on the questions ..

yeah, excuses excuses

[klr_toy]

6% .... the "Non-Racer"

[Consynx]

Dang, i thought that, but didn't do it because it didn't say Cycle or give anything to give the impression it was looped...

[vangSTa_celica]

oh yea, wtf IS nissan's "V-tech"
i had no clue they even had some kind of variable cams..though only VVTl-i and V-Tech

AVCS...its old school.

[Consynx]

that's what i put, good
but then if it's "old-school" it's probably not "V-tech" like, but rather just vvt-i

v-tech works much more like vvtl-i

[amysmojo]

Wooo! I put AVCS BS guesses are great sometimes

oh yea..

it probably because i own an auto.. errr

i think options were...

vvl-i = wanna-be toyota
AVCS = had no clue...

[C3L1CA]

I got what you got Amy, and had the same picture.

[chucho]

yeah i change my car from FWD to RWD and SportComp to Sport
went from 6% to 27%

Mine went up a bunch too when I changed FWD to RWD

hey, punk that made this stupid quiz, my FWD celica used to smoke my friends RWD 240SX, how you like those.

Not making a comment toward you C.

[Supersprynt]

Your friend didnt kno how to drive LOL.

[Digndoug]

That thing is just gay an stupid, but funny.. I got

You scored -14%

But I also know how to work on cars, an re-build engines and prolly know more then the person making it, but then again, I have never liked turbos' or never have been into jap cars.

guys, guys, guys,

AVCS is subaru's variable valve timing thing which leaves VVL to be nissans by process of elimination

and the order is

power, exhaust, intake, compression

the only time i spent any money on looks was tint, which the quiz never asked about, and wheels, which i needed tires anyway and my hubcaps were the ugliest things ever.

so needless to say i put 99 cents into zipties for my bumper and $999.01 for turbo, lol

im also sure that AWD helped in the begining, plus knowing how to launch an awd car to prevent bogging and horrible shock to the drivetrain.

tee-hee

^^^ pWned the test

[fastgt]

actually vvl IS nissians version of vtec i know that for sure

[SlowCelica94]

I put sportier compact, our cars are sportier than a Civic or Protege.
[right][snapback]219150[/snapback][/right]

that was my thought process too!!
[right][snapback]219152[/snapback][/right]

yes cuz our car arent faster, so by ur standards, lets call them exotics.
All the other cars listed were rwd or boosted.
All the "sport compacts" (civic) were n/a and fwd

where do u think we fit?

[Supersprynt]

Knowing how to launch in any car without massive wheel spin was a good thing.

[right][snapback]219289[/snapback][/right]

wheel spin? whats that?

lol

yeah, but there was a specific question about launching a WRX STI, now while many people say the STI tranny is unbreakable, i would still choose to launch it the way that a WRX should be launched to preserve the transmission.

rev to peak torque(or higher, if you want to have the turbo spool quicker) and quick slip. a clutch is cheaper than a subaru AWD tranny.

^ass

[Kwanza26]

and the order is

power, exhaust, intake, compression

[right][snapback]219276[/snapback][/right]

huh? Hehe... I say it's intake, compression, power, exhaust... ;]

Umm... IMO, some of the questions are unfair to some people. For example, I doubt many people got the AWD launch correct simply because different people do different things. VVT, VTEC, VVL, AVCS... all different systems used to achieve almost the same results. VVL is like Vtec and changes cam lift/duration profiles. AVCS and VVT/VVT-i are the same and control cam timing (just intake in most cases). Different things. I think whoever did up that little survey should do some homework also. VVTL-i is Toyota's equilalent to VTEC and VVL, although Nissan's VVL is pretty rare in the US... actually... pretty rare period.

[97sccelica]

yea thats what i was looking for

but the quiz maker had to put it in a different, but still correct order

the quiz was pretty unfair

[CelicaBuddy]

APC Whore
You scored 12%
You are dangerously close to falling to the dark side. Chances are you have a couple things like a Short Ram intake or maybe some lightened pulleys. Snd you've probably hung around some genuine tuners, so you know the lingo. But most of you money has likely gone into a large erector set wing, or body kit....but at least it's painted. You are a quasi ricer.


WOOOOOO! IM A RICER! LOL

is this soemthing to proud of???? lol

[Consynx]

sure...be very proud

[jojobombiest]

Gran Turismorator
You scored -9%

You're at the drag strip in your WRX STi. What's your launch technique?
Rev to max torqueRPM, drop the clutch, wheelspin
Bounce off rev-limiter, drop the clutch, spin
Rev to max torque RPM, quick slip, chirp tires

I had no idea but i chose the third one just because it said "chirp tires" and the others sayd wheelspin and spin. Stupid quiz though...

And what did everyone put on this question?
What does this phrase mean to you? "Warning: Danger to Manifold!"
Oh ****, my floor panel is gonna fall out
Warning: that's a bull**** warning
I hate that movie
ummm...

Did anyone else get ricer????

Or am i the only one who has the guts to admit it? LOL Cuz I looked around and no one else got it! LOL Thats funny Im different from all yous
