Time to go to school...

[OG-Skinny]

This thread is devoted to teaching our youngsters and lost individuals of today the correct ways of automobile appearance and physics. Feel free to add CORRECT information to this thread

Lesson 1.

This is NOT how you fit a wide rim/tire in the rear of your vehicle...






Here is the CORRECT way to fit a wide tire on your vehicle.

Can you give an example in Honda form?



This isn't the gifted class..........

[Elbow]

Awesome thread.

[OG-Skinny]

alright, i fixed the first sentence so people can join in.

yea, i know. That's why I made it in the CAR PICS section. Kinda like a pop-up book!

[MINI]

I'll post my Coop with 215's and NO hellaflush in site when I get home maybe. Looks pretty good with just lowering springs. I like the handling better with 205's though.

[Elbow]

Fails at stance.


Wins at stance.

Ahh! Smart.

[ATK_Designs]

awesome job comparing apples to oranges, even though they're fruits, but not the same.


It's like saying,

Kids, this IS NOT AN ORANGE









This is an Orange







Same $hit for the Hella-flush people with their bragging rights. This is the alter-ego excuse for those without.

[roscoe]

Hmm.. well put ATK

[ghettos2k]

this thread fails!!!


STANCE OR DIE BITCHES!!!!

[roscoe]

Indeed it does. The only thing to come of this thread it to further separate the car community. Form, function, style, apprearance. They all have a place.

Lol, I love how when somebody does a body kit it's called rice, if you try to "stance" your car it's stupid, if you "slam" your car it's no longer practical (stupid), if you rust your hood again your stupid, but if you just follow the ordinary and lower your car on nice wheels, your just another honda. Everything that isn't just another honda is considered a fad, shouldn't it just be "hey, I did this and you did that" not "oh, he's following a fad". Fuck, I say modding your car in anyway is now a fad, you're all followers now .

[OG-Skinny]

funny how there isn't a pic of any honda/acura posted, but you just generalized everything to a honda owner.

[Elbow]

Funny how most of the people who like this type of modding are the ones crying.

I generalized everything not mentioned to a honda owner, just because that's a common phrase on this forum.

My car has no camber, is not slammed, and definitely not a rusted hood. So who's crying

[alpine_aw11]

I will freely voice my opinion on what people do, and some of these HORRY SHIT THATS SO CAMBERED!!!!! cars piss me off, but you're all beating a dead horse.

If someone posts their car up and you don't like it, have at it in a RESPECTFUL manner. But this shit will never change anyone's mind, and if they decide they don't like stretch/poke/camber/whatever because of this thread then they really are a faggoty bitch.

[HillClimbGuy]

why is it always the guys with old ass cars with nothing done to them and they never go to any meets. Always the ones bitching about what every one else is doing?

Lol, though your english hinders me from comprehending this 100%, I like your opinion as well as how it was stated

[JITB]

lol whats the big deal... why do you all spend so much time going against something you dont like!



its like me making a thread about hairy chested burly men washing their balls... why should i care?

[Mantooth]

OP, I <3 you.

[Genji-Sama]

^^^Wow, that Black 350z wit da bronze wheels is the sexiest thing a VQ has ever seen. Rep to u

[georgieboi]

you have some nice wagons there JITB...

[StreetHazard]

Admittedly some of those look very nice, for me it is really hard to say I don't like it. I just daily drive my shitbox and those extremes are just too much for me to maintain, I think my car sits too low as it is. those make me feel like I drive a Tonka truck, airbags OR coilovers or whatever they are on.

[eraser4g63]

JITB to the rescue!

[gpw hatch]

its my DADDY!!!

[Elbow]

its my DADDY!!!

It's ugly as fuck...

[oneSLOWex]

Its awesome how everyones opinion should be the same and we should all drive the same cars with the same wheels. It sounds like SO much fun!

[silversol]

Retarted half those cars dont look safe to drive!

awwww but....butt.... but i like letting everyone know how much i think their car isnt safe to drive down the road wit dat wittle bit of tire stretched on the not so wittle rims.....


lulz. agreed.

[yjack]

what I don't understand is why spend so much money to destroy the suspension geometry and make it handles worse than the OEM. If its a pure show car then that is ok. I will always pick function before the look. But I respect people's effort into their rides.

[gpw hatch]

Why do we need to worry about suspension geometry when most of us with stanced cars drive the car on normal roads at normal speeds?

[m3dic8d]

Asking why someone would put all this into the stance on their car is kind of like anyone not into cars asking why we would spend more money on an expensive sports car that seats less and gets worse gas mileage than their practical 4 door.




Because they like it...

With extreme camber I don't think the parts can save the performance.

This trend is like body kit in 90s and exterior conversion in early 2000. If it's a trend, it will eventually go out of style someday. It may look good for now, but who knows what people will think 5 years from now. At least real functional mods will never go out of style. Personally I don't think extremely lowered car looks bad at all, I just don't like the lose of performance associate with it.

quote from the article

"I don't know what it is about negative camber. It definitely screams 'loss of performance'. But at the same time a VIP car, drift car or bosozoku style car is nothing without it. Somehow extremely lowered cars with extreme camber trigger a natural attraction in males, much like the mammary glands of opposite sex."
