WE have other wheels, but the car doesnt travel with them

[Crazy Asian]

thats so rice. holy crap mike. Take all the stickers off and cut the muffler. And the wing too. Might as well just blow it up while your at it.

LOL Nice Nice 240. I love that exhaust.are you doing aynthing about the sponser stickers?

Yes, I am working on a rendering right now....thus the pics from Mike. They will all get smaller and a lot of them will be off.

[Captain-Obvious™]

looks very good. i'm probably just ignorant here but what's with the bazooka exhaust?

[Crazy Asian]

so when some hit them in the back, it takes out their radiator. AWESOME!!!

[Rican219]

AHAHAHA NICE

[Tracy]

It's true about the exhaust.

[koolaidman]

cant wait to see it when you guys take the stickers off/move them and put new rims on

[.:Stirfry:.]

[R3RUN]

My engine bay on my 240 is the same color, I can't wait to paint over that ****. lol. Orange=ballin tho

[1439/2000]

Car looks awesome in person. Lots of attention to detail. Just saw it a couple of hours ago but I wanted to see it run.

[TallGuy]

Clean car ...what other wheels does it roll on??

[Benefit]

scary

[Brady]

drifting.

[HachiDori]

For a Shop car I expected alot better. But it looks good. xcept the wheels

[Thundercat]

lookin good wanna see the aftr sticker shots

[Vteckidd]

For a Shop car I expected alot better. But it looks good. xcept the wheels
Its not a shop car really.

Its Dans Race car, a race car that has to have a roll call for SPONSORS that contributed to the build.

[itsnotarex]

Isn't the exhaust just like 4" straight all the way back from the turbo? I'm just trying to recall from the build thread on wrxatl. Looks amazing though. What're the plans for it now that SEMA is t3h ov3rz?

[green91]

I think the orange suits it well, im with everyone on those particular wheels but i think that exhaust its badass.

[Tracy]

For a Shop car I expected alot better. But it looks good. xcept the wheelsMe, too. WTF were they thinking tearing down and building an entire, running, full competition car in 20 days!!!!! And then to compete in it the week after it was built. Those guys suck real balls, I tell ya!

[AnthonyF]

maybe if these people look at my pics they will realize that the wheels shown in YOUR pics were not the rims used for SEMA.

^ i cant compete with that cus there were WAYYYY too many people crowdin me at SEMA. but i tried my bestest

PM'd also Mr. Kidd

[BuBBa DRiFT]

so Konig isnt giving you those awesome wheels? You'd think they would give you cool wheels to show off so all the mad tyte drifters would want a set for themselves. If i had a Kouki, i would possibly get those wheels.

The old wheels looked like updated Monsoons, which by far is one of the ugliest wheels Konig ever made.

Yes we have those wheels, but the car doesnt travel with them, they are show only wheels.

[BuBBa DRiFT]

thats lame! you should drift with the show wheels anyways

[Nittanys1]

dude how the h*ll did you get your tires off the ground in that last pic?

[AnthonyF]

thats lame! you should drift with the show wheels anyways

do you ever say anything intelligent and not with such stupidity and sarcasim?

[Oz10]

Probably a combination of stiff suspension and hauling some major ass.

[bandydesign]

I like the wood chipper in the back. lol

But seriously it looks really nice.

[BKgen®]

Holy F*CK... GOT DECALS??

[BuBBa DRiFT]

nope.

Summer down, No need for you to go in a ***** fit. I whore ia.com i saw the build. I wasn't saying it wasnt a good job. Just expected ...well just more Visual wise. Bet the car handles as its suppose to. And runs like top

The wheels were one of your sponsors also right? Thats the reason behind that. Just stating didn't like it.


Take a chill pill women :goodjob:

[dELfONiK]

are you doing aynthing about the sponser stickers?

What sponsor stickers?

j/k Car is dope!

[boostedb16]

that car is ****!ng awesome. well everything about it but that piece of pipe coming ou the back.

[boostedb16]

[bandydesign]

is that exhaust like a resonant length to "suck" the exhaust out and eliminate back-pressure? I'm trying to understand why it sticks out as far as it does.

[rojodamonkey]

I Luv it. looks like it was a fun build.

[Got Milk?]

so many sponser stickers,hurts my eyes.

[YoungGun]

Looks good overall, but why doesn't the hood fit? Looks like its just sitting a little high...

The old wheels looked like updated Monsoons, which by far is one of the ugliest wheels Konig ever made.They're all supplied by Konig, you ever trailered or towed a car before? Doesn't look like there is enough room to get "over the tire straps" on so they may have to run them through the wheel to fully secure the car...I have no idea, just taking a guess. You drive 3/4th the way across the country you don't exactly want the mirror polished finish on the brand new wheels scratched and ruined when hauling...not to mention when loading & unloading the car.


Looks good overall, but why doesn't the hood fit? Looks like its just sitting a little high...Most likely to help vent the hot air...you have two big snails under your mustangs hood don't you?

[VteC power]

one clean 240 i like it

[SPOOLIN]

its the penis. (exhaust)

[yerrow]

lotsa dumbasses in here, good work D and T

[Tracy]

Hachi,
Just whoring it up like you and also posting my opinion :) No need for me to "summer down", I'm already summered. If you expect more from a shop car, it makes me wonder if you have ever been to SEMA or anything of it's caliber. Most of the cars at SEMA don't even run (I'd even be willing to say 80%). They get pushed in and out. I think you would be surprised to see some of the craftsmanship up close, also.

other questions:
*The wheels just get thrown on when we have to move stuff around at the shop. We have at least 3 different styles of wheels for the 240's. Whatever is closest gets put on.
*Yes. There are a lot of stickers. Trust me, we are well aware. You think we like stickers? Id much rather have nice, clean BASF paint shining thru. Not to mention that it took like 3 entire days to cut, weed and put the stickers on with like 7 people helping. This has been mentioned and addressed in this thread also. They will change before the season starts. They will get smaller and lots of them will be removed. Who knows, it still may be overwhelming, but we are trying to change it if we can. The thing is, sponsor pay for stickers and we like sponsors...so it's a catch 22.
*The exhaust question has also been answered. We made it like that so if someone rams Dan again, they will mess up their intercooler or radiator.
*The hood looks like that because it alows hot air escape easier. There are obvious cooling issues when it comes to drifting, so we use lots of measures to help with that.

Please feel free to ask any other questions and I will gladly answer them for you. If you are a smart Alec about it, expect a smart Alec response :)

Love,
Tracy

[Vteckidd]

did you just say smart alec?


LOL

The actual number of stickers doesn't bother me... it's the layout. It's like you guys just decided to play pin the tail on the 240.

[Tracy]

Hrrmmmmm. I hear ya. We are by no means graphic designers. We build purpose built cars, not pimp my ride cars. IMO, the stickers have little to do with the craftsmanship...but I do hear ya and agree. We are working with a designer for next years scheme...so maybe it will be better. Just have to keep in mind that certain contracts insist on size and placement.

[Vteckidd]

Hey, it took us 3 days to put stickers on the car, about 7 people helped

Tracy and my girlfriend spent 10pm-6am WEAVING STICKERS, dan spent more than that designing and printing the logos.

The decals are over the top, but if you have a sponsored race car you would know why. They want exposure! alot of people contributed to the build so we had to dedicate space to them.

[Vteckidd]

oh, and every sticker is actually 2 stickers.

theres a white backround and a black sticker on top of it. so count them all up and multiply by 2

Too bad Konig is a sponsor.

There's an Action shot of the car? :screwy:

My .02 cents have been said.

[Tracy]

[Dietcoke]

Do you guys like the turbo blanket? Contemplating the usefullness of goin with a blanket versus the metal heatshield I have now on the sky.

[speedminded]

oh, and every sticker is actually 2 stickers.

theres a white backround and a black sticker on top of it. so count them all up and multiply by 2Some were even more than 2 layers of vinyl! It may not look as good as an unlimited budget ALMS car or a $1,000,000 drift teams but considering the time and money spent on this car there's not too many around that can do much better short of a professionally made vehicle wrap for alot more $$$.

The car was literally completely assembled in days, I know I got 2 hours of sleep one night then Dan and I were the only two that didn't go to sleep at all the following night before it was done and ready to go on the trailer...72+ hours and 2 hours of sleep. :screwy:

The car is pimp just like it is to me.

[b@d @pple]

i have never seen so many haters in one place..the car looks awesome,like tracy said it was built from the ground up in 3 weeks..how can anyone ***** and pick that car apart,i would love to see what some of these people could do to a car in 20 days...oh wait most of these **** talkers are probably working dead end jobs and couldnt find the time

[Nismo]

Im sorry but that front end looks half assed. There is no grill and those huge holes in the bumper look hideous. The valve cover is the only cool thing about that car.

[walter783]

nice bump

[boostedb16]

i love the car, i could do with out the pipe but if it ****s some retards intercooler up for hitting it then its ok too.

[1439/2000]

Function over form. There's plenty beauty in it. Why have a fmic right behind the bumper. Jesus, it gets drifted so protect vital components by putting them by the radiator support PLUS short roue piping for the win.

This is not a street car.

[Vteckidd]

says the guy with a ..........what do you drive?

[puregroove]

Those headlights are the WIN!

[TopSpeedInc]

Wait... when did you guys start drifting? I always thought that was the Maxxis tire drift car.

Huh....

-Doug-





Haha J/K car looks great

[speedminded]

I bet my Work Meisters would look damn god on the car!!

Too bad Konig is a sponsor.Did Work send you 10+ sets of wheels needed to drift your car competively? ;)


Im sorry but that front end looks half assed. There is no grill and those huge holes in the bumper look hideous. The valve cover is the only cool thing about that car.Grills are addded comsmetic items that aren't needed and just one more thing to get in the way.

The exhaust sticks out because...
a) puts a hole in someones intercooler when they decide to be a sore loser and f*** up again.
b) It helps keep the rich exhaust off the metallic tri-coat pearl paint.
c) It's shiney and people seem to like polished & chrome things. :tongue:

What if they did? Work Meisters look better than Konigs IMO.

[speedminded]

What if they did? Work Meisters look better than Konigs IMO.I can name 50 wheels that would look better than anything Konig makes but unless you want to go out and BUY a dozen sets you use what is given to you. I bet you Work didn't even give you that one set did they?

ok speaking of konig WHY THE F*CK DO PEOPLE THINK THESE LOOK GOOD?:

http://www.konigwheels.com/classifieds/pics/334.jpg

I've seen them on imports, euros, domestics, SUV's, trucks, you name it...

I could go out today and easily take a picture of at least 5 different vehicles with these ugly pos wheels.

[chnco]

I'm not questioning if they are free or not. I know why the Konigs are on there, trust me.

I SAID, I like Meisters better.

[NAIZBST]

its a nice car all around...alot of well deserved time and work put into it.

It only makes your car look better :tongue: I want to take a torch to every car that has Motegi MR7's on it, i hated it 10+ years ago when it came out and still can't stand the sight of it now. I'd rather have the Ronal teddy bear or daisy wheel than this thing, lol.

http://www.wheelsfortuners.com/images/navs/defaul1.jpg

Maybe it's because 9/10 cars that have this wheel are straight up 100% rice :dunno:

[DinanM3atl]

Lots of e-drama over a car that went to SEMA... Which is mostly a show off of crap... Look in the pics from the show... I see some 40" wheels on a magnum...

Everyone calm down...
