But I need 3.1 degrees up front for peak grip and even tire wear wear.

Not mine (don't know if any pics even exist) but my 70 R/T looked just like this:



I was so used to this stance that I had a '77 Honda Civic Wagon I bought used in '79 that had a more tame version of this (bigger, wider tires in the back) and it took me about 3 months to realize it wasn't doing anything because, well front-wheel drive.

For being as low as he is with the wheel size/specs he has on it have to give props for pulling it off.

Yes it looks bad but a lot of work went into this.

What?! The car looks broken shit. I don't care if he spent a million dollars on the car, a turd is a turd. Honestly though, he just needs a PROPER set of functional fitting wheels and his car will be pretty dope.

You don't like what buddy does to his car? That's fine. Either don't say anything, or ask why he's doing that.

Personally, I like the way it looks when a car is laid out with a bunch of camber. Would I do it to my own car? Probably not.

Edit: on second thought, maybe I will do that to my car this summer simply to invoke the rage of some people on here who can't appreciate someone else doing what they want to their own car with their own time and their money for their own enjoyment.
We totally support your doing whatever you want to your car. Support our right to laugh at the results. Everybody goes away happy.

This article is exactly what comes to mind when people go out of their way to talk shit on someone else's car. Sure, constructive criticism is cool and all. But most of you guys come off as condescending assholes. Maybe it's the internet's ability to take away a jokey tone, but either way, if all you're going to bring to the table is negativity, don't even bother.

You don't like what I'm doing to my car or what other people are doing to my car? Fine, no skin off my back, but don't go out of your way to leave a post saying "lolz excessive camber is ghey, you take a bewtifull care and make it totes ugly. thats so stoopid and your just rewining the car. how can u even drive it?!?!?!?!?1111??!?!?!" Because I can probably guess that if we were just kicking it a meet, you wouldn't say something like that to me personally, let alone seek me out if I'm not by my car. Sure, you can say that I just think you're a "hater" but, in reality, something that I've put time and effort and love and hate into obviously means something to me and I'm not looking for the negativity. On the other hand, if you said something like "Hey man, like what you've done with the car. But, what's the deal with X or Y?" We could then have an intelligent conversation about why I chose to do X or Y to my car and then, everyone is happy.

To put this into another perspective, if you have a dirty pig of a wife and you post a picture of you and her on your wedding day on here, I wouldn't leave a post about how disgusting she is. I just simply wouldn't bother. Get my drift?

Not bad. This was (and still is, and forever will be) my dream machine. And I don't care what anyone says.. That wing is a thing of beauty!

That would be boring, no? I probably would not comment on a pic of your wife either since she is what she is. However, if you go out of your way to fuck up your car on purpose that's fair game.

I'm sure there are other websites where congratulatory handjobs and no criticism (constructive or not) are the norm. This is probably not one of them.

Say whatever you want about my car. It's only the internet. And it's only a car.

ETA: I suspect you have "freshasf*ck" somewhere on your car.

ETA again: Your link makes an interesting point about egos. The only people who seem to be getting butthurt are the people driving clown-cars. For arguments sake, let's assume one of the ugly-champ cars in this thread is yours, and someone said to your face "WTF is that shit? That's the stupidest looking FR-S I've ever seen!" Unlikely that it would be me, since I don't hang out with flatbills, but you never know. What would you do then?
