BTW, you gotta try REAL hard to blow these things up...and i consider myself an expert when it comes to blowing things up, i mean hell, i still am a dsm'er at heart, we ALWAYS blow things up

they can tell, usually, depends on whether it was constant use, or a one time thing (that's harder to find). i'm not familiar with residue... what would the residue be? too much oxygen? obviously some of the signs would be extreme heat cycles, too lean, etc... yes, that would leave signs just like any other un-tuned motor. i'm not familiar with the tell-tale signs of 'yup, he sprayed, case closed.'
the only residue that would be obvious would be the fuel that collected in the intake manifold (and that's only if you use the wet shot), which is my only concern for a wet. fuel isn't supposed to pass through the throttle body, and the intake manifold. as a matter of fact, that residue collects because all of the fuel does not make it into the engine. that could lead to bad things (if not carefully monitored). it's not difficult to setup in these cars, but is also something a beginner should not attempt by him/herself.
someone correct me if i'm wrong.

or:
leave the body kits for high school kids and their precious fast and furious fantasies.
or what about this one (because we all know it doesn't do much, if anything):
leave the cold air intakes for high school kids and their precious fast and furious fantasies.
come on... that's way too easy. i could list stuff like that all day. about coilovers, and people who buy them just to lower their car (and not for it's intended performance use), or bbk's (people who get them because they come in red).
bottom line, if somebody wants to do it, regardless of reason, it's their car. if you have a legitimate complaint about something somebody wants to do, by all means, voice your opinion, this is an open forum... but just saying - well, if you want to act like a child, go ahead - isn't really constructive.
sorry for hijacking.
