That or the floorboard may fall out



Just don't be a retard about it. Not from experience, but from what i hear, nitrious is safe in small amounts, and when used properly.


there is some kid around here who has a new firebird or something(rich daddy) and he runs nitrous, boosts right off the line at idle RPM... and he bottle feeds A LOT, i'd hate to see that engine's internals

u suck...zex kits are great for beginners, other than that i'd say NX wet kit. I ran a 55 shot with no problems at all on my 00 ex. Dusted a stock wrx from a roll, stock itr, celica gts, bolton ludes...it's great have fun just don't go overboard. I'd say up to a 75 shot is ok if you use the same fuel jets and retard timing like the manual says.

O-T I know, but the NOS reminded me of something.....

there's this guy I used to know. Fool drove this Tarus SHO. Got a NOS kit for it. Was all happy about it. He was showing it off to his friends, had the car turned off. Hit the NOS button. Hear the spraying. All his friends were impressed. Then he turned the car on and threw a piston through his hood :rofl:
