Hehe funny.

You scored -29%

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.

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 shitload 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.

It's too Americanised ie Automatic standard no idea. And some of the shit ie which car pick one.I didn't really like any of them but chose the s2000 as it was the best compromise but In real life you wouldn't see me in a convertible. I say bring on the aussie version and watch us fly. The other question that was gay was oaint bumper etc or tubo. Fuck that i dont want a turbo or rice me wants some na mods dammit.
On another note went for a ride in my uncles rex on the weekend and noooo I cant fit in it. The recaros are too small and my choulders cant fit in them. My uncle sells his car every three to five years and I woud have been in the race to buy it but that ain't gonna happen. mY body structure is fucked I cant get any decent sports or small car. I roll out of the seats of an echo, my car the steering wheel gets in the way of me braking so the side of the pedal is worn down, I can turn the left indicator on in an integra with my knee with the seat fully back but cant put the right one on cos my kness in the way. My mums camry ok except for the fact that it has a sunroof that cuts out head room and cos my torso is short relative to my long legs I then need to raise the seat to see the end of the bonnet. I'm doomed damnit, I'm looking into a corolla when I get some money hopefully I can fit in it. I'm only just under six foot but my legs are long so it fucks up my choices big time, my shoulers are pretty wide so it makes it hard to fit into any asian car. My dads pulsar is fine but thats it.

*cough* bullshit test *cough*
Fair enough I could pull an engine apart and put it back together, but on a knowledge scale of 1 - 10, I'd give myself about a 2. One thing I do know is, relatively, I don't know jack!

I got non-racer and scored 5%.
Here is what they had to say in full

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



That was cool, I wonder if i do it again if i will score better?

Ehh? Ehh?
