I threw up a little in my mouth watching the picture!! I knew it was just a matter of time before some one screwed the car up.

That picture made me weep for humanity. Why would anyone hate an 86 enough to do that to it?

You should've known this would happen as soon as they put a SCION badge on it.

Though I wouldn't do air ride on this car, my biggest complaint is the wheels. They're just damn ugly. As for air ride, if people aren't going to be racing, I see no problem with it.

I dont mind the drop at all, its actually close to how low I'll be on coils. Its the wheels that bug me. And yes I agree about the amount of ignorance on this board. Everyone here thinks they're the best racers in the world.

+1

There are some good folks here who take road racing seriously so that's a good thing and everyone is entitled to an opinion. One thing I don't really understand is the car show scene hate.

It's one thing to see a car with lambo doors, an over done paint job, trunk full of audio equipment and ugly wheels. Then compare it to a car that has a nice drop, clean n simple exterior and wheels with a nice yet aggressive offset, I don't see how folks can hate on that.

Besides, they don't drive around pancaked all of the time, just when they are parked.
