One of our friends in Dubai sent us this parking lot shot.

Thoughts on this Rocket Bunny equipped beast?

That is Kei Miuras personal FR-S. The picture was taken in Japan I believe.

Everything he creates just oozes style. Love it.

There you go! Thanks for the update on the car. I'd love to see a side shot, looks like he rocking some oldschool.

nab335 · 10-02-2012, 04:09 PM

wow it looks extremely aggressive

zaptorque · 10-02-2012, 04:11 PM

mehhhhhhhhhh

looks tacky. front fenders are cool, the rest of it is hideous IMO. don't think I'll be spending 6-8k to make the car look worse.

If I recall correctly it's on BBS RS mesh wheels.

deucethemoose · 10-02-2012, 04:24 PM

I'll take the ST205 sitting behind it.

Nice. Similar traits to his other cars, yet this is a bit more aggressive.

Guff · 10-02-2012, 04:46 PM

Tires need less stretch...

Other than that, SECKS.

tnt · 10-02-2012, 05:12 PM

with this kit you better back it up with more power

Enilder · 10-02-2012, 05:22 PM

I don't get people who put that kind of wheel setups (stretched look). Someone tell me why this is so attractive?

TAP Auto Parts · 10-02-2012, 05:33 PM

Stretched tires. From what I know it started back in the late 80's as a way to stiffen up the sidewalls on cheaper tires and has turned into sort of a tuning style.

hippari · 10-02-2012, 05:48 PM

The only reason I see to stretch these days is if you're planning to run wheels that are entirely too aggressive for your fenders at your ride height. This guy probably doesn't want to break off his pretty new body panels. I'm curious about the wheel specs.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know about the history behind it. It bleeds my eyes whenever I see them. Personal preference of course.

HATED1 · 10-02-2012, 07:07 PM

Stretched tires, when used with a purpose is for drifting. The smaller sidewall gives better response when applying throttle to the rear tires when breaking them loose. Less flex in the sidewall is ideal.

Silverdub · 10-02-2012, 10:10 PM

Amazing

nix · 10-02-2012, 10:43 PM

Do not like.

armythug · 10-03-2012, 12:10 AM

Looks nice. It's probably just me but the rear wheels look like 18s with fatter tires. while the front look like 19s. But I'm probably mistaken.

Bomb3r · 10-04-2012, 09:26 PM

What wheels are those? Specs?
