I personally hate all those ricey g@y looks, but hey, if somebody wants to, he can put everything on his mom's car - and that also includes NOS and freakin' spoilers. Let me get this straight - as Velvet had already said, the drag racing teams have been using nitrous for quite a time now, but as an addition to an already purpose-bulit racecars, i.e. for faster turbo spool up (like in the Titan Motorsports Supra - imaging going without nitrous with this huuuuge T88h). And now those stupid guys think that they're gonna have a super-duper-rice-performance-car when they just put a bottle into the trunk, slam the car on the ground with "JDM" lowering springs and airbag supension and throw a loud muffler to the mix. But hey, that's out of fashion, now drifting's the hit! Get a new, freshly painted 240 (million coats of black pearl, get some "V-Opt" stickers and yeah, go for it baaaby! hiding spots of rust) Jesus, ricers are everywhere!

"I dont consider turbos ricer, unless they are chrome and have tiny LCD screens on them."
haha that made my day.
Different nitrous systems "hit" differently when engaged. My dry system comes on rather slow since the nozzle is right behind my filter in the intake (this allows the nitrous to cool the intake air more for a better charge, but takes longer to hit because the nozzle is so far from the combustion chamber). A wet direct port system (A system with a fuel/nitrous nozzle in each intake runner) hits real hard since as soon as you engage it you feel it full force. I would say it would be useless for drifting since it's the wrong application. It's great for more punch in a NA car coming out of a corner or on a straight. Or of course drag racing. And like darkstar said, spooling up a massive turbo.

It also cools down the exhaust gas temperature, allowing to boost a little bit more than usual with less worrying about keeping the engine internals internal (depending on an appplication of course - don't think you're gonna make 200 additional horses on a stock engine without that worries). It can be a substitute for a water injection system I suppose.

If you are fast and or can drift at the D1 level, I dont really give a dam what you do to your car. As long as you have talent..
Now the kids in San Diego I saw with the white civic, wide body kit that was pratically falling off, a front bumper that'd been beat to hell, and the left muffler in their dual exhaust almost hitting the ground because it broke free from whatever ghetto fab creation it was mated to. Thats another story
Atleast the body kit matched the car. Oh wait, I forgot that it had a white paintjob..

I had a progressive system in my old car that I used all the time...just like having a big ole turbo
why the white housing? we all know black housing is better. they are on stock S15's. for headlights, not taillights. IMO taillights are already good in stock colors.

All I have to say to all these people bringing up D1 trying to justify this stuff. Well D1 is judged on looks as well as driving. That is why they have 19's full kits and back up kits. That is also why there vinyl is all color coordinated and why they have altezza's. If you had unlimitied money into your suspension and motor and could drive like any D1 driver then I say get altezzas and neon and find a drivers search.
Nitrous is completely badass and I would love some. If you have ever raced somebody with a 100 shot or more it is night and day. D1 use nitrous becuase they need the huge turbos for those ridiculous entry speeds they have.
D1 is not a reason to get neon,nitrous,turbo,vinyl, or 20's.
