As Panta83 said, they were inspiration for us... The white EG was for me the ride that made me decide to go so far on my own civic... Thanks to them, thanks for their pics, their videos, and everything. Sad about this... Great tribute video. "Eg... alriiiiiiight" ^^
they shut it down because as far as i know to, they did what they set out to do which was to become the biggest import forum in the states. friend of mine told me about it and i enjoyed a brief read through before it shut down. shame really...
It's comments like that that cause problems... I drive a TRD Celica... so don't think I'm on their side.... but for fucks sake, when're we all gonna be able to just race each other without the god damn insults flying, let the fuckin cars do the talking...
The Corvette is not a muscle car for one reason: it's not built for pure straight line performance. The Corvette has always had fully independent rear suspension unlike the WS6, Camaros, Mustangs (solid rear axle, ugh), and on and on. The vette is ~3200 lbs roughly. EVO is ~3200, STi 3300+. So that weight is not bad. Obviously you agree those cars handle well. And to make it clear, I don't hate on imports. But rice = tacky kitted/painted CRXs regardless of what kind of power you put down.
How is the corvette not a muscle car? it weighs 3k+ its not a L-6 or a v-6 even the guys from horsepower tv, muscle car etc. consider it a muscle car... yeah ok... sure on the straights u can haul ass all you want but and some american cars can handle around the corners with all that torque... ur still a muscle car guy obviously or just hating on Japanese, Euro, and other countries car...
anything anyone says on youtube is immediately null and void so why bother calling someone out? nobody believes shit anyway, but whatever. it's a '97 corvette. torch red, black leather interior, 6 speed. but i don't expect to be believed. this is youtube. the nsx is a fine sports car. the rest of the econoboxes are not. I see one or two evos which aren't bad, but the rest are riced shitvics or CRXes. the NSX is the only car honda made worth a damn. the s2000 is a sewing machine in comparison.
Well good theres something we can agree on! ha ha, well yes but most of the cars on team rice, obviously... look better then most cars u see out in the city or in your town having knockoff body kits and parts which make the car look like a shitty rice burner i totally agree but i see nothing wrong in this video... there not racing american muscle, vettes or anything american so there not trying to prove anything its just a team that has or well... had fun...
Hey, "enthusiast". The Corvettes were never muscle cars. They've always been purpose-built sports cars. They can carve corners, and well. Go drop your "JDM" engine in to hang even with a stock, first generation LS-engined C5. Not impressive. Can I drop an LS7 or LS9 in mine to keep things fair, or will ricers cry again? Oh, twin turbos? I can use forced induction too! Hey how about that. I still come out faster. You worship a go-kart. Grow up.
Its not the car... its the rider.... rofl gayest quote ever! from FF... i should slap myself for remembering it too.... but its true! lol And.... TRD FTW!!! lol but the celica is a fwd... so... MR2's ftw!!! lol j/k but yeah toyotas rock...
Ur corvette sucks... there over rated... besides theres more then just hondas... theres the evos like u said, the MR2, the s2k's more nsxs and 240's most of them have sr20s but some have the rb25 and 26. the 240sx hatch weighs 2750 with the rb26 probably less or a little more and having 276-280 hp stock it will out run ur pos vette...
2024 and still rockin on.. been following since 2007-2008… 8th grade shenanigans
this video keeps me going after so many years
14 years later I wonder what these guys are doing now.
16 years later & Brandons Ek is still my fav to this day. 500hp was crazy for the times, my how weve advanced.
I remember these guys. They were doing it big for the time. Super nice cars w/ lots of authentic goodies
Back for team rice, loving this till this day
still one of the greatest compilation vids... Thumbsup to these guys. Too bad they're no more..
Ending of an era
As Panta83 said, they were inspiration for us... The white EG was for me the ride that made me decide to go so far on my own civic... Thanks to them, thanks for their pics, their videos, and everything. Sad about this... Great tribute video.
"Eg... alriiiiiiight" ^^
They still seem pretty awesome til this day.
This is one of the videos that made me get my first rex back in the day first car crx ftw love that shit
Music so good ... and what a video !
I've been often watching their vids during 2 years ... Brandon's civic ... Arggggggg !
These dudes got me into carss
Coming from an f-body guy... this tribute video shows a side of imports I can't say I've seen before. Its pretty cool. Well done.
I really wish these guys would make a comeback. They were way ahead of the game when it came to modding.
They are still around on the gram. Gil and Wayne at least...

i mean the WS6 is a sexy beast and i envy u if u have one ha ha.
@scopez4u Lol, what're you getting at, cuz if you're calling me a ricer you're dead wrong, the only thing I ever put money into is my engine.
