Boy Racers dress code and lack of brains.

Cantona's Collars · 19-12-2010 11:25AM #1

Do boy racers remove the heaters and aircon from their cars to improve performance? In the summer I saw one eejit driving with the door open as he had no aircon and his windows wouldn't open,I knew that because he was roaring at his friends while doing more laps of the town than a taxi.Now we have cold weather they seem oblidged by some bizzare dress code to constantly have a baseball cap and hoody with the hood up on at the same time while driving.Even last night it was -9c here and they were still tearing around while most sensible people stayed off the roads. "I am invincible in my Saxo as I wear a cap and hoody combo-much better protection when I crash"

Most are geeks and nerds hiding behind loud exhaust's and tinted windows

-9 here last night as well and the roads covered in ice ,yet as I was on my way back from dunnes at about 5pm ,diving at 10mph (the roads started to get bad then)Some lunatic went whizzing by at about 50mph in a kitted out punto ,I thought he was going to slide across the road and hit me and you could see the car trying to stay gripped to the road ,people like that deserve a kick in the bollocks.

You forgot the skanger bit

Knasher · 19-12-2010 01:03PM

I wonder if you built large versions of skateboard parks would they use them instead.

hondasam · 19-12-2010 01:11PM

If you wear a suit and drive a civic / subaru etc you are not a boy racer or wannabe knacker or a geek.

Is the problem here the car or the clothes ?

what about girl racers ?

Not all drivers of these cars are boy racers or knackers.

af_thefragile · 19-12-2010 01:11PM

I always wonder how do the skanger types, who don't seem to do any work and whose only source of income seems to be the dole, can afford to pay for such upgrades on their cars?

Like I've considered upgrading my car but everything about it is so bloody expensive! Every part is expensive and then you need to pay more to get it fitted properly. Alloys are bloody expensive as well. So is an upgraded stereo.

And then you'll have to declare these to your insurance company and they'll rip your bollocks right off for insuring a modified car!

Now I don't think these boy racers insure their cars properly cuz obviously if they did, no one would give them a quote for a modified car and if they did get a quote it'ld be something stratospherically ridiculous and they wouldn't be able to afford it.

SO how they hell do they get away with all of this?!?!!

They could always go to a track day or another organised event.

I can't seem to inbed this but suits your post perfectly :P

Elevator · 19-12-2010 02:45PM

to answer your orig q op

yes they do remove the heater and air con to give a 5/10 horsepower boost

they are quite thick most of them

and I too seen a dangerous nob jockey tear away from a set of lights yesterday eve in baaaaaad conditions,

all I could hope for is he gets what's coming and not take any innocent lives with him

if you caught the guy such a hammering youd have to give him!!

Quite expensive for whatever they inevitably smash into

JerryHandbag · 19-12-2010 03:14PM

I take comfort in the fact that those lethal roads out there right now will take care of a few skangermobiles. Hopefully it will be ditches they will crash into, and not other normal roadusers.

Agricola · 19-12-2010 03:17PM

I wonder how idiotic you have to be to get a kick out of driving round in circles in a town centre for a couple of hours, revving an engine and generally making a nuisance of yourself.

Tefral · 19-12-2010 03:19PM

Hmm.. I would be what you call a "Boyracer" only because your misinformed but that has been done to death already..

- Im a co-founder of one of Irelands largest modified car forum
- I drive a White Japanese imported Integra Type R.
- The Aircon is removed (I dont need it and it saves weight)
- Yes i do trackdays
- I have an Honours Degree.
- Ive been driving 8 years without a crash.
- I have no Penalty Points.
- I wear hoodies because they are comfortable.
- I wear a suit to work.

Do you care to put away the big brush of tar yet?

Well, unless you're a girl, then you're surely a boy racer?

acer_2010 · 19-12-2010 03:29PM

Quite a biased and stereotypical post! Usually I would never bother my arse to reply to a post about a silly topic such as this but since the weather is bad and roads are dangerous I will reply! First off, I currently drive a 1999 GTR-R34 Nissan Skyline - 2.5L Turbo which stands me in and around €9500.. Now I personally wouldn't dare even start it in the shed as I'd be afraid I'd blow a valve or something due to freezing conditions let alone bring it outside, to be honest I don't even think it has seen a wet day in Ireland since I bought it 2 and a half years ago! To correct the OP now, I might be classed as a Boy Racer stereotypically beacuse of aftermarket wheels and the exhaust etc not to mention up to 100 other aftermarket parts, but, I am not such.. And I can clarify that I am insured 100% correctly with AXA insurers.
What I class as Boy/Girl Racer is them eejits who drive their Novas, Fiestas, 106's and Saxos, them sort of cars with huge exhausts and oversized wheels.. Their the saps who give everyone the name just because they have no respect for other road users or themselves.. And plus, may I add that they are the ones who drive the price of insurance through the roof for younger lads and lassies trying desperatly to get some insurance to start out...

Over & Out!

One of the funniest things ive ever had the pleasure of witnessing involved a boy racer.

I was standing on the path about to cross the road in a small town called Moate. Its a haven for culchies with ****boxes.

There is a spped ramp that also acts as a pedestrian crossing. This boy racer approaches the speed ramp too fast, and of course the car is no more than an inch off the ground, and when the sppedramp is about 5 inches off the ground it doesnt take a math whizz to do the sums..

Anyhow, tunes bangin out, pointless revs of the engine as he drives his sh1tbox to the ramp and BANG - SMASH, he crunches the whole front underside of the car off the ramp - that however wasnt the funny bit - the funny bt was his face scrunched up like he got a kick in the nuts as his 2 hands came off the wheel up to his head to console himself.

Fortunatley, the ambulance that came to scrape me off the path from laughing didnt have the same problem with the ramp

Agricola · 19-12-2010 03:49PM

Ok we need to make a distinction between Boy Racer and Car Enthusiast. Anyone who pays 10k for a car which spends most of its time in a shed isnt a boy racer. To me those are lads who drive small hatchbacks, often with unmodified small hp engines, who then pimp them out with big exhausts and other devices that make them as conspicuous as possible. They bollox around the middle of town, only stopping to get out and throw shapes in the carpark!

I think to OP is talking generally about people who drive "sporty-ish" cars and upgrade them in a manor they are not designed to be, or in bad road conditions that they appear to be oblivious to...

Are you saying you do that?

Just because you have an imported TypeR, doesn't mean you are bumped in with that lot.

I even saw 2 different cases of this myself down the road from me, 1 person driving a 323F at ridiculas speeds and cutting his braking distance very short, while thier friend was behind them in a Civic TypeR, driving cautiously.

TheZohanS · 19-12-2010 04:09PM

Bah! Cage drivers!

If you want a real thrill get yourself a motorbike, absolutely brilliant craic.

Overature · 19-12-2010 04:18PM

boy racers are normal people like you an me except they are trying to compansate for lack of male genetaillia

HavingCrack · 19-12-2010 04:22PM

All they do is drive up the cost of insurance for people like myself. 4 Years, no accidents and I'm still ranked as a greater risk to other road users than a female on a learners permit thanks to these ****ing idiots.

yeah but do you drive around all day with nothing better to do than pull handbrakers? and what have you done to your integra? is the engine modified to get more horse power or have you just got a body kit that does nothing for performance?
