Well you can turn a club around. I was invited to this club called "Extreme Whips" they were all ricers but they had some skill. So before we accepted we went to an AutoX event. Lately I've been driving my winter beater '98 impreza 2.5RS, so I just took that. The best car in the group was a '99 3000gt VR4, when I beat his car by 3 seconds they didn't know what to do. Since then we've been racing alot more, the stero systems are out to reduce weight, and one kid took off his lambo doors...[i hate those].. this group was full of ricers, when they saw that they werent as fast as they claimed...they changed. A few of us are going under the name "Scarred Racing" cause our cars aren't perfect, but we love them anyways. I went to a show the other day and this kid popped the hood on his dead stock '93 eg dx...people started making fun of him, so i walked up and nodded my head, and asked him his plans with it, the instant he said he was going to gut it, and buy nice tires for his steelies, i shook his hand... the problem is the ricers try to beat down beginner racers, so most kids give under the peer pressure....we just need to lift them up again.
In my opinion people who care about looks and performance are true 'Tuners', ricers want to look like Tuners, racers want to compete with Tuners. To have a balance of both is rare, thats why the cars that both Racers+Ricer adore are ones made by professional companies like HKS, or Mugen....cause those companies have both racers and ricers building the cars together, so you get looks with blazing performance.
P.S.- The R32 had the RB25 engine[i think], i do believe the RB20 turbo engine comes from the GTS-T skyline [aka FR version]
