How bias would it be if i made a thread "Is the autocrossing fad ruining our cars?" "Is the cleanly modified fad ruining our cars?" "Are stock frs' ruining the culture?" Like lol

How boring would it be to go to every car meet and see a frs/brz lowered a little bit with a little bit bigger tires and some RPF1s and an Invidia n1. with UEL Headers.

No need to go after small fraction of our community because you "don't understand what it does to help the car" or "think it looks dumb"

Personally, I like the look of fender flairs and wide body cars. What I don't like is extreme camber. But what I don't like doesn't really matter, it's not my car, not my project you feel. I wouldn't go over to some dude with some generic ass RPF1s or some shit and say god Enkei is ruining the look of our cars.

I'm probably going to strike a nerve and tilt someone when they read this. I deadass don't understand why this thread is a thing

Everybody has the right to do what they want and say so. Everybody else has the same right to dislike it and say so. There can be open and mature discussions on the subject (we have had them in the past) but this one closed that door in the first couple of lines. The problem with the first post here was not so much that he stated he didn't like it but more the childish and all encompassing way in which he said it. The presumption that there are so many and that they are ruining all the cars is ill informed and naïve. It is also the hypocritical insulting of body mods while bragging about his home made aero and heavy use of plastidip that makes this thread stand out.

Yardjass · 10-01-2017, 06:54 PM

But plasti-dip is some real slippery stuff, bruh. I coat all my aero gear in it.

VoltsFRS2013 · 10-01-2017, 06:57 PM

I feel you @Tcoat Everyone has the right to agree or to agree to disagree with mods or a way the car is used. Like you said I wouldnt go and make a thread and start going god autocross is stupid as f*** this that and the other, and yes my guy works for nasa with those plastidipped card stock jdm's on his car and i really wanna see those wind tunnel results

Is this the 300 cup car? I do find that car to be very sexy but... Actual racecar versus some kid with some sheet metal tacked to his car is very different

These are untouched front and rear views. I can't afford it but I hope somebody builds it.

WTF, I knew I had seen that somewhere...

MC riders who run car tires are called "darksiders". What do you call dues who run MC tires on cars? All that crap on that car for MC-sized contact-patches on the road.

I admit the front lip spoiler looks similar but come on! The rest is just ... let me just say different

I think you should make an intake. You'd be able to make 221whp easily with your level of expertise.
