Bolt on definition: A poll

[BlackSunshine]

while i see your point, its precisely the "lingo" that separates the wannabes from the real deals.
when i used to do a lot of street racing, you could always tell who actually knew what they were talking about from the ones who didnt just by what they were saying...their "lingo".

when i had nitrous on my 01 GT. anyone who said i had "naws" instantly lost credibility with me. it still irritates me to hear people call nitrous "naws". but thats the ricer lingo!

I personally like "Spray"

I agree, and to me its not altogether different on the forums.

I am laughing behind the scenes, I should thank you because I normally don't get this kind of amusement from the internet. I am thinking however that quite possibly, you are in the minority for thinking nitrous and superchargers are a bolt on.

Its very simple....bolt on cars are N/A....once you add a power adder you are no longer N/A.......you still following me?

I know that. No, I'm not following you.

I have the "muffler only" since I have the engine delete mod.

If you had "Auto Delete" that would mean your car got repoed, or wrecked.

Im kinda dissapointed #2 is winning. I was hoping to be able to start calling my 10 sec Fox a Bolt-on car

Don't let popular opinion stop you

I find it humorous when a person tries to tell me the definition of a word and they don't even know the difference between there/their/they're, to/too/two or brake/break.

Is a twin turbo nitrous car still considered a " bolt on " car?

 

[Kenaizer]

Probably not. The install more than likely involves clamps...

Crap you are so right but what if those clamps have bolts?

 

[Kenaizer]

I did not think about that. Touché...

Bolt on.

 

[wbt]

Anything that is considered a power adder or requires the valve covers to be removed, like a cam install or head replacement, is no longer considered a "bolt-on" car.

Can I interest you in nitrous for your car? You can tell everyone it's a bolt on!

Power adders should be included, they do Bolt on.
Now when you tear the whole engine down and build it all back up, that's different to me.

No.

 

[Doug M]

yes, that's my opinion, you have yours.

 

[slowlyrolling]

Bolt ons are easy mods, not in depth at all. The kind of stuff you do to get your feet wet in the modding ocean. No one who gets their first mustang goes right ahead and gets a fully built engine and blower. They start with the intake, tune, full exhaust, pulleys, intake manifold, tb, gears.

 

[Germeezy3]

Automotive terms are typically not subject to opinion, and although I myself said my nitrous H/C/I C5 only had bolt ons that never made it true.

 

[Doug M]

Lol, it's hard to see the difference sometimes

Lol, it's hard to see the difference sometimes

Power Adder:

Nitrous , supercharger, turbocharger....


Bolt On

long tube headers, cold air intake, under drive pulleys....
