R U a racer or ricer?
Take a test. OK, most of the tech questions don't apply to our cars but it's fun nonetheless.
http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=5930412964040605221 This is my score: Gran Turismorator You scored -17% 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. |

For what it's worth:
Racer X You scored -30% 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.

Yep
Racer X You scored -31% 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.

f&$k!
The Non-Racer You scored 0%  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

19. What's the correct order? Intake, Power, Compression, Exhaust Power, Exhaust, Intake, Compression Exhaust, Power, Intake, Compression Intake, Compression, Exhaust, Power anyway, i got -24%

Amir - it does, but it doesn't start the cycle where you expect it to.

exactly...I was stumped for a few minutes by question 19, then realized it wasn't in the "normal" order.

OK, I don't get it. Is lower better? I got a -31%, and it says"Of the users who took the test and are male and in your age group, 0% scored lower than you." Is this good? or bad...

You scored -21% I am most proud of the stat below: The "Racer or Ricer" car mod Test Statz # Of the users who took the test and are male and in your age group, 100% scored lower than you. Probably means only one other guy as old as me took the test.
