My results were very true of me.
Gran Turismorator
You scored -21%
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.

Racer X
You scored -33%
I think from the questions this guy posted, he owns a AWD turbo car...and autocrosses...maybe that is why I got 33%
somone has to score higher than me, I can't be the best at this lame test of "car knowledge" :roll:

20. Again, correct order. IC=intercooler, CC=combustion chamber, TC=turbocharger, UP=up-pipe, DP=down-pipe
Filter, IC, TC, CC, UP, TC, DP, exhaust
Filter, TC, CC, IC, DP, UP, exhaust
Filter, TC, UP, IC, CC, DP, TC, exhaust
Filter, TC, IC, CC, UP, TC, DP, exhaust
The correct Awnser which should be Filter, TC, UP, IC, CC, TC, DD, Exhaust was not listed. :x I should email them a message. "Whos the ricer now, bitch? "
|
Filter, TC, IC, CC, UP, TC, DP, exhaust this would be the proper order
but should say Manifold instead of UP, that way it is a turbo general question, because as far as I know, subies are the only ones with uppipes...

Yes, subbie's are the only ones with so called 'up pipes.' And I got that question right because the others are obviously more wrong. However, the Up pipe is not the manifold, it is part of the piping leading to the intercooler coming off the turbo. Many aftermarket companies sell 'up pipes' for WRX's. :roll:

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
Hmmm goin to kill self....... least im not a ricer.... :cry: good bye cruel world
