Two reasons you're way off:

1) My car is faster.2) I've actually had women in MY car.



Looking badass, Big G. I'm eager to hear more about the airride. That's the shizz of the future for those of us who don't like getting high-centered on speed humps.

Why not a triple-decker wing for additional downfarce?

Cool stuff, the practicality of airbags is such a huge plus. Hardparking like never before.

On a sidenote, every new thread you post makes youre car look worse and worse. I really get the impression that you dont give two ****s about it and it definately shows.

From the nasty headlights and no grill in your last thread to your GT wing on a ****ing Infiniti this time around, Im starting to get worried. I know you know your **** and have somewhat good taste, but why do you insist on ruining your car? Why dont you ever wash it? Why do you have seats and **** laying on the roof? With a few hours of detailing and some thought your car could be really nice.

out of curiosity, with the car so low, have u ever run into issues getting to places? i figure there must be some sort of hill or parking lot that is simply unavailable to u due to the ride height right? or maybe not since i don't know how the roads are in tokyo? also any pics of the mounting of the compressor/tank or switches?

Does it sit on the frame rails when fully deflated or on the bumpstops (which I assume you have removed)? Will you have it setup where the front and rear are independant of each other?

For someone sooooo critical of other members cars, their photo taking abilities and just thinking you are always right; your car looks horrible, is dirty as hell and your night time photo skills blow.

A lot of us work too! I work a minimum of 6 full days a week. During the busy months I have worked 30 straight days and 80 hour weeks before. I run a business, have a family, work on my car and all of my friends cars in my spare time...... and I still have a spotless car.

Just tidy it up a bit before pics. Because God knows you would be ripping on someone if they did the same thing.

Youre aero is an entire differant color than your car. Your wheels arent even close to matching and are ugly as sin on a "VIP style" car. Youre GT wing belongs on a riced out Civic. Your headlights belong on a riced out Maxima.

And you have the nerve to call me an idiot? I feel bad for that poor Q45, it deserves an owner that can actually take care of it. I dont care how busy you are, it takes 20 minutes to wash a car.

I could give two ****s if you work 23 hours a day, drive it through the Pacific ocean to get parts, or constantly slap feces on the damned thing. Its still ugly. Its still dirty. You still suck.

I dont know whats more inflated; those airbags or your ego.

yes, your completely correct, there are places that are completely unavaliable to me becuase of entry angles, and heights.So i just park somewhere else

have you seen my other pictures i have ever taken? then yeah, you might think, wait maybe he didnt carry his tripod with him becuase normally ns pictures are so clean.

As far as washing it, who gives a ****, paint is ****ed already, and ive been waiting for air, and to buy another set of Weds Kranze before i even think of paint. And now htat my wife has her celsior, im going to get htem both painted at the same time maybe jan or feb.

And when have you EVER seen me rip on someone becuase of the cleanliness of their car?

Ok.....so let me get this straightYeah the aero is a different color, so what, cars not painted.

GT wing...i guess your not on zilvia....i explained it thereIts functional, and it fixed the high speed instability i had around sharper turns on teh C1 route, so it stays function over form on that one

the headlights come stock on the car...i just didnt know it was a different hood. so yeah thats my fault...i hate them too.

but overall, ifg you cant look at it, and think, well with paint and the right headlights, ****s gonna look decent....your crazy.

your like one of a handful that arent looking at the big picture, but the small bits you see here.

SO yeah, im still cooler than you becuase i can be

I completely agree with your 'big picture' thing, but I was just commenting on how bad it looks now.

With nice paint, stock headights, and some baller wheels it will look great. I never said it wouldnt. Again, if you read my first post, I know you have good taste in wheels and cars in general. But, your car doesnt show that. Making excuses about working and driving the car a lot just makes you look like a little *****.

What happened to the 19's in your sig? Those looked great and would look even better tucked on your new bags. I absolutley love Y33's on baller wheels (Im getting one within a year) and just think your car deserves a little more care and attention than you give it.

high speed instability issues...

do you mind linking the thread or copy and pasting it over here about why that wing fixed your problems? not to bust your balls, but more because a decent post explaining why and with proven results is always a good thing to have.

i do appreciate the effort you are putting into it, hopefully after you get to painting it and get the wheel package you want itll clean up and finish the overall look.

In Japan, road and streets are bascially seamless and flawless. I've never seen pot holes, gettho construction work or nasty patch jobs. I was so amazed by their maintenance and construction quality. I think most of the time problem would be just some ramp and stuff.

My daily driver cost more than your front wheels, ****ty kit, ricer suspension, and surplus 747-400 parts put together.

Your car seriously looks like ricer trash. Maybe you should stop running your mouth about how much money you have to waste on suspension and wheels and buy some paint for once. Oh wait, you have some lame drifter image to sell to everyone so they think you are cool.



Go ahead, call me ignorant. I think many people can vouch otherwise.

Basically it was a colaboration between alot of people. I wanted a lip spoiler, but a few friends that deal with fluid dynamics explained with the rake of hte roof and a few other random factors, it wouldnt be functional. basically long story short, with alot of measurements and help with a guy in australia that i just met, we came to the conclusion, that while the height i have, wont produce maximum downforce (which i dont need), it will create a sufficient amount of downforce (in theory)

so i bought the wing, mounted it, reinforced the trunklid and took it out on the wangan. On the c1 heading out where i was having problems with tight offand onramps, and general curveyness as it rolls through the city (think tokyo extreme racer in shibuya/shinjuku) there was a definate improvement in overall handling with the 19s, and once i put 18s on, even better. 19s suck to begin with for handling.

but yeah, thats how.

Not really, see you dont know it, but i just bought another VIP project for my wife. Coupled with the lame weather, and wanting to paint our cars to match, it hasnt been done yet. Not for lack of money, as you can tell with the wheels i go through, however lack of timing on my part.

As far as ricer suspension, CST is used by a number of Circuit racers her ein japan, and major teams for time attack as well. Extremly reputable, and the airride did nothing ot decrease the handling from what i tell. Once i get it out on the road a little more, ill be able to give an accurate review.

If you were 1/3rd as baller as you think you are you would be riding on Moton 3-ways and Fikses.

Because you can buy wheels you are a big timer? Maybe compared to all the young kids with 240's you are, but not to the rest of the car community buddy.
