Rice is a term that everyone has a different definition to...like cult.
In this case I think its excessively showy. But thats just my opinion. No need to get all fiery

FIRRRMMMM.

Racing buckets in a car like that is like putting a snorkel on a lowered mini-truck.

Or a GT wing on a car that doesn't breathe even 100 miles to the closest race circuit.

However, on topic, it does show quite a bit of storage space behind the front seats.

I find bucket seats quite comfortable though, I would put just one heated leather in for myself if i was going to spend money on my car.

That's like saying putting king sized comforter on top of you is pointless if you sleep on the couch.

Sure, it's a lot of blanket, and it is meant for a king sized bed, but it still serves its purpose: To be comfortable.

Check out my amateur photochop, FRS prototype with Work emotion kai rims and spoiler delete, lol

^Yeah If I'm not mistaken that's Dan's celica right? His car is a show car and a damn good one at that. And I remember him talking about many of the choices with what hes done. Shows judge you on everything from audio, to aesthetics, to cleanliness, to engine build and he has it ALL. There is NOTHING rice about his car.

No, my analogies actually grasped it better.

Wasn't being immature either...just pointing out a funny thing in your post. Yer being firm! We should be careful now...or something, I guess. I unno, seems like a very silly thing to say as it literally has no bearing on the conversation at hand.

Also, that's not a NOS bottle. Its a Nitrous Express.

edit: @cb7, definitely getting mine without any rear spoiler/wing. Looks cleeannn like that.

Meh, I'm with old school on this one, that is kinda wack. People will have their opinions whether u agree with it or not, I suggest you don't let them bother you and get back on topic.

Dark · 05-19-2011, 03:25 AM

I need to see the final production first, wing or not.

Yeah, he has it boosted and everything too. A ton of rewards and sponsors. Insane.

I wouldn't want to do that to my car because it's not my taste either, but I respect what he's done.

No because a snorkel on a lowered truck would indeed be 100% pointless. While a king sized comforter isn't pointless but just excessive, and not exactly what it was designed for.

Alright so it was a silly choice of wording, but I couldn't think of anything at the time.

True. :P

Yeah I wouldn't mind the spoiler being optional (I'd opt to get it). Will be interesting to see what designs they come up with for production though.

I kind of like that about it.

iff2mastamatt · 05-19-2011, 04:06 AM

I see the boxer-86 logo on this one too, so I guess it's Toyota?

Thanks for the insight.

Anything else you can share with us?
