We need a new forum rule. On the 2nd of April, all April fools posts must be retitled to include the words "April fools". Because people.

I still think there are a few people out there (probably 2nd hand owners) that think they got the V Tecs under the hood.

Anyone looking to buy a reefer of frozen chicken wings?

1. Best way to improve handling is speed holes, and lots of them everywhere.

2. Total removal of suspension, just like a go kart, hell, where do you think "handles like a go kart" comes from......

What do you value more, HUNDREDS of grams of useless weight in your springs or cutting them and gaining ALL of the benefits with no downsides whatsoever.

Same with camber, if your daily commute isn't a 45 degree banked curve the entire way are you really driving?

Same for stretching tires. Why give tire companies more money when the same amount of grip can be achieved by simply stretching economy tires. This also results in less weight.

I thought you were knowledgeable Tcoat, I had so much respect for you but now...
True. I also forgot about how the reduction in the knock off Rocket Bunny trade would impact the Chinese economy. If those 8 year olds don't get their $5 weekly pay cheque the whole economy could collapse. I think we are already seeing the impact of the reduction in demand by the drop in the world trade. It could lead to a stock market crash and the disappearance of the whole middle class by the end of the month!

And we’ve now gone full circle back to the economic collapse of the world by the end of the month. Time to revive that thread again
