Some might have seen this already but oh well

I looked at 110's vert and noticed L-Con.net written on the cross bar. It sparked my curiosity so I checked out their website and found some good shots of what it looks like close up. Sucks that you can't save the pics though. Anyways here it is:

1. I love everything about 110's Vert. 99.999999% love - except for his bar setup...and that's just my opinion. In any case, the car is still in the top 10 hottest verts I've seen so far.

2. You can save the pics - use firefox and right click saveas. I would do it myself - but the site is setup to block image saving for a reason....anyways...email me privately if you want me to grab some pics for you.

3. OR, just alt+prtScn the page and crop it in MS Paint.

Is there a particular reason that you don't like it? I personally like it because it's concealed. You'd have to walk up to his car to realize one is in there.

I have Firefox at school...i'll save the pics when I go back.

When I first saw Octane's car (back when it was still red), I thought "woah..I like this setup" and even printed out a copy of the image...with hopes to doing a similar setup. See, I (and probably everyone else on this particular section of NICO) bought a vert...b/c I wanted a 240...but a pimpable 240. Meaning...I like speed...but I also like looks...so having a hidden brace seemed just the ticket.

Then I started going to a few drift events. Then more events....then more...

With drifting, a good cage setup is key. I've seen cars flip and ****...and believe me...when I think of that....that's when I start thinking that Octane's setup is a no-no. Thus...I started to get more and more into a full cage setup (btw: This is "want" of mine...hopefully by end of spring...i still dont have a cage yet).

Ask me a year ago if I thought a "halo" setup on a vert was cool - and I would have said hell no.

Ask me now - and I think it's teh hotness.

Thus....which is why I am not feeling Octane's setup on the brace anymore...I want something stronger, safer...etc

But again...these are just my words and I by no means, mean to discredit Octane's preference. The vert is hot.

BTW: By "halo" - I am referring to a setup like Chris Forsberg's 350Z he campaigns.

Hmm I forgot about the drifting scenario. Good point.

Would you happen to have some pics of a convertible with the halo setup? I searched and didn't come up with anything.
