LOCK THE EFFING THREAD

[motoman399]

lol

[Dire91]

^ Retarded, just my two cents

[Kelbizzle]

This is the crap I just replaced with coilovers. It looked unsafe to me. The damn spring on the tool chest was almost bigger.

[DMan II-40]

that looks almost small enough to be a helper spring, lol.

This is why this thread needs to be locked to many noobs. That has nothing to do with cut springs. Thats a replacement lowering spring. Nothing unsafe about it. It will just end up blowing out your stock shocks after a while. This is like one big cesspool of misinformation.

[ILOVESILVIA(S13)]

I am now dumber after reading this thread.

NowLets see how much longer...

Ummm

Your spring moving about through turns because it's not seated properly is unsafe.

This thread needs to be stickied and titled "I know I'm a noob and it's bad but I wanna cut my springs anyway" so noobs don't cut their springs!

[impact240sx]

well no s*** coilovers are better. nobody said that cut springs were superior to anything except stock. so gtfo



yes i am "low budget" for instance i build a turbo kit rather that buy one. you probably take your sweet hella fast eclipse to a shop. haha oh ps im jewish and proud of it. i make most of the s*** for my car. and do ALL the work on my car

JEWISH FTW

How are they better than stock? Cuz the car looks better? Most parts put onto a car that just improve looks and don't improve performance are ricer parts. YOU ARE A RICER!!! Its ok though you'll grow out of it, I remember being young foolish and stupid, thinkin why buy coilovers when you cut springs, then I found out about money, and bought a legit suspension.

You are a complete idiot, to see that some one owns a 350z, 350+whp Sr20 s13 (gt2871r), 275 whp Sr20 s13, stock clean a** s14, and an 03 eclipse, and rip on them when you own 2 haggard pos s14's that aren't worth anything. I'm sorry are you jealous? Just because you can't agree with me on a forum, you have to come out and say I don't do my own work? My white s13 has had 4 diff motors in it, and each time i pulled and installed one, I did it all by myself not a shop, so before you talk s***, know what your talkin bout... Btw re re the eclipse is what my wife drives

[motoman399]

your right man im super jealous. so f***ing jealous of your parents having hella money and buying their 20 year old son all this sweet s*** haha. i dont care how you got your money or all your fancy s***. and im hella ricer... thats why im staying with oem body and a ka24de... your right... im a ricer too. thanks for clarifying your a god man. you are so intelligent. forgive me for speaking my mind

edit:and im a ricer

LOL

DUDE Motoman will you do a bumper fitment write-up? My bumper has a small gap between it and the fender and i was wondering how i might fix it to make it more oem looking like yours. Thank you in advance as i am sure you will be down and you are definitely the man to ask if that picture indicates anything.

(Next time wait until you get chuki fenders for the bumper install imo)

[motoman399]

um ya that wasnt my car. it was impact 240sx. my car is not like that. lol

[TroubleBound]

um ya that wasnt my car. it was impact 240sx. my car is not like that. lol

Oh... *looking up pics of moto's car*

[motoman399]

ya i dont own an s13, not that i dont like them but i like the s14's better. plus i had a ton of parts from s14. good looking out though haha

"If you're gonna do something, do it right or not at all".

I had cut eibach sportlines on my camaro.... those are real deal lowering springs.... sure it was out of anger and frustration that i couldnt get them into the spring seat because the control arm hit the headers i had and it rode on the bump stops but hey it was low and cool lookin....

as for the 240, i cut half my front springs and 3 loops from the rear. i got a welded diff.... so i should be dead any day now.... oh yea i rock sweet wheelies on my gixxer when ever i can too...

forgot to mention i have black zip ties on the front springs to hold them to the top spring seats when i jack the car up so they line up with the bottom when i let the car down

Haha, you are always wrong! My parents didn't give me anything, you know how I got my cars smart a**? Serving this country in the military so you can have your crappy s14's.

That kit came with the car and the idiot before me wrecked his origin bumper so he put the stock one on. MY bumper was hanging off because I drove 1000miles to pennsylvania and back to get my coilovers from my home.

Yeah also, cuz my cars are rice and all.



OMG this is hilarious, this "motoman399" wrecked as in it was his fault. So he posts pics of my car cuz my bumper got loose from a road trip and slidin, while here is his car LMFAO!!!



What would be even funnier is if it was his cut springs' fault haha

[ZootedS13]

[allenms240]

This seriously might be the worst thread ever. Im pleading with the mods to lock it because this thread is lowering NICOs IQ as a whole daily. We are all dumber for reading this thread.

Ummm Your spring moving about through turns because it's not seated properly is unsafe.

Its noobs like that is why...

[bades]

In before the lock!!!!!

is funny because wrecking my car has absolutely nothing to do with "rice". you made no point by posting a pic of my wrecked car, which is being fixed by me. so your hella lame and im done with this. so peace enjoy your life

[pj]

why is all im asking. if its for laughs im all for it, but to cut springs and act like its great and even argue about it on nico is just stupid. to make a thread as a reply to a locked thread is just stupid.the mods must be on vacation or hitting the bottle cause this mess should be locked and deleted.

and the second someone referred to a 240 as a ratrod...well, thats just stupid.

Are those deodorant sticks of BAN?

but ya... its ban
