Yeah, but it can't corner worth a damn.

There could be a reason for that: it's not a Twin.

$95 U.S. list, $42 on eBay. P.S.: These mud guards and the TRD cold air intake are two items that, in my opinion, should have been included as stock items on the base model. Consider that we have three holes (two visible) in the rear part of each fender/bumper cover/wheelwell liner to accommodate attaching these things. The car comes in the U.S. without even plugs for these holes. The mud guard appears to be a part intended to be included originally, but for some reason ($$$) was left off at the last minute. So it's now an "option."

Perhaps I should explain. Would I, Personally, lose respect for him? Yes. Yes I would. Would I run around the office telling everyone "OH MY GOD!!!! HE'S WEARING A FOAM BODY SUIT AND LYING TO PEOPLE!!!!" -- No. No I wouldn't. Why not? Because I'm not the one wearing the body suit or interested in seeing what said person really looked like. If you play that game, then everyone woman who has fake breasts should be flamed too right? -- WOAH!!! Let's not take it so far, right?

Wish I knew that the FRS had heated mirrors before buying aftermarket mirrors. Would have gotten ones that were heated. Oh well shouldn't be too hard to sell the ones I have at the moment.

Funny that, the need should be the same in Norway. We get heated folding mirrors as standard, but I had to convince the Toyota dealer that the OEM mud guards existed and I had to pay quite a lot for them, considering they're just molded plastic. (Don't ask how much, I'm not good with numbers)

but then again, the R/T was built like that to get the most traction, and while it wasn't a total success that wing was added to keep the the vehicle stable while racing in an oval. my point is, while the cars do stand out, they were designed with function in mind. My philosophy is "Function over form, however the function in an off itself can make for one hell of a form."

This is a PUBLIC forum for people to share ideas, opinions, tips and information. Not a circle jerk where we make everyone feel better by singing kumbaya and making smores (though I am down for some smores if anyone wants to organize an 86 camping trip ) Every person is entitled to make their car how THEY like it... once it is shared with the world via the internet, we are all entitled to have an opinion of it, good or bad, and we are all entitled to share that opinion on this public forum. If you don't like it, don't read it. Or if you enjoy open debate, tell me why you don't agree with my opinion by expressing your own... But bashing someone for explaining why they don't like a certain mod, trend, style, etc. is hypocritical and is just an attempt to suppress free-thinking and open, constructive discussion. |

For example, @636 car. I've said I love his car, but for me he's running a bit too much camber. That's a lot different than just saying "your car is dumb because camber". But, his car stands out quite a bit and I really, really like that about it. Like it or not, "stance" is here to stay. And I have that in quotations because there could be infinite examples of stance. Stance, to me, is simply how a car sits. "Hellaflush" cars have stance, jacked up trucks have stance. The only thing I will hate on in the car community is someone doing something to their car which is definitely going to end up being unsafe for other motorists. Excessive tire stretch, cut springs, running bald tires, that kind of shit. Personally, I like a wide range of car types. Lowriders, muscle cars, track beasts, trucks (all kinds for all applications). And I think that closing yourself off to one narrow view of cars is going to make you miss out on a lot of cool stuff that you may never have seen before. And let's be honest here, negative camber WILL help with handling (not in extreme cases, such as oni) and a 0* camber angle will only really help in a straight line, which, time and time again on this site its been stated. "This car is not meant for a straight line" |
