    the dub owners are pretty annoying since they think they are incredibly superior to anything japanese. then they put staggered rims on heavy ass fwd cars as if they didnt understeer bad enough when stock.

    I just stretched 175s Continentals on a 7.5 inch rim...that junk was crazy scary. I can't even begin to think of the stress side walls get with these mad stretches. Told the dude this aint right...he promptly ignored and said everyone else was doing it.



    My vote...stretch trend. But VWs get it on the poll.

    Yup. VW came out with the harlequin GTI, which is apparently pretty rare nowadays.

    I am tired of all of these self-loathing threads. This website is called importatlanta, but all I ever see is people hating on the fact that we drive various imports. People need to stop hating on one another's cars and try to be positive. Why all of the hate for one another?

    the stretch on the vdub serves a purpose. to be able to slam the car on some wide ass rims without major scrubbing. it might be to the extreme but every bit of clearance count. if it had the regular sized tire, it wouldnt be that low

    doesn't really serve a purpose, more along the lines of wanting to look some way but i would be scared to get on the highway on tires that are stretched that hardcore

    VW are not my cup of tea but they arnt played out either. 240 is taken a little too far by people who just want to be part of the drift scene. Honda....just walk outside and you see at least a dozen! Everybody wants one cause they are easy to modify and possibilites are endless and the most common one is a civic which are too played out and I completely overlook them for the most!

    As a VW driver, I don't get the whole stretched tire thing either. At the same time how many of those do you see driving around the Atlanta area. When you think about quantity of cars you see with over the top mods, VW shouldn't even be on the list.

    it's the same as when the first of that movie series came out, within a month the population of modified civics multiplied like a horde of rabbits on a fuckfest after eating a lifetime supply of viagra.
    basically, if a real popular movie had modified geo metros, you'd see them rise from the grave too. damn, i just gave away my next project, oh well. anyway, the younger generation tries so hard to emulate the things that they see in movies, music videos, and such.... what can you do?

    As a 240 owner it's equally annoying to find a rust free shell (my car is 18yrs old) Spend (rounding up)...
    1k on a Silvia front end
    1k+ on suspension
    3k SR20DET motor
    another 3k rebuilding it
    1k in wheels and tires

    Now I've left out other things like a bigger turbo, painting the car, upgrading the brakes, exhaust, boost controller blah, blah, blah. Sorry if I won't sell it for 2.5k

    Why all the hate? It really isn't that hate, I just don't fucking like it. I don't watch movies I don't like (example Con Air), and I don't listen to music I don't like (Emo shit and this new bubble gum rap shit). Make sense? If I don't like your car and you ask me about it or post pictures I will tell you. If I like it then I like it. I do believe that any car has the potential to look attractive or better than stock, this poll is pointed towards the general population of the said car owners.

    No jealousy in that. I'm talking about the people that don't know what suspension and brakes are.

    Taking things to far, in my opinion, can both ways. Honda owners and VW owners have alittle bit of their own taste and also sorta copy other trends. The whole VW thing with rusting their cars, is fucking stupid. I never, in my life, would spend such a great deal of money on something to purposly rust something. Honda owners usually just copy other trends but, every once in a blue moon, they do something that 99% of people think is cool but in reality is completely dumb. Such as a car with 20+ stickers, etc.


    240's, done right, are FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

    I'm commenting on nothing but this part. That is absolutely ridiculous. RWD wasn't, isn't and never will be popular because of a movie. "Again"? When did it become unpopular in real sports cars?
