Yeah dude, this is awesome! It's amazing how some get mad because I don't have aero and others get mad at the thought of me getting aero. I do love hearing everyone's opinion. But at the end of the day, I don't really care what anyone thinks. I absolutely do what I want and how I want it.Kalypso wrote:this thread is the epic clash between OEM aero and JDM ricer style....

Re: (sr20drifter1)
that red coupe is hot. i dont think its too high. it could be lower. but its clean looking so it looks fine.
Re: (FolkertSX)
Do any of you guys understand that the S chassis NEEDS shock travel to actually handle well. If you don't slam it, it may actually handle well instead of being overly stiff and wishy washy.

Yeah I get a lot drifter kids that think my Cusco coilovers are pieces of crap because my car is as low as it will go on them. I have to remind them that Cusco actually cares about proper handling and suspension geometry.Bumnah wrote:Do any of you guys understand that the S chassis NEEDS shock travel to actually handle well.

Re: Re: (sr20drifter1)
^^^^^ Now that car is kind of boring...... boring wheels, run-of-the-mill red brakes, plain interior etc. It is clean and properly built...... I have seen the entire build of that car. But I prefer flashier wheels to spice up a car instead of nasty aero that never fits like OEM..... not that it has nasty aero since it's OEM.

Re: (kyles1988)
Unless people have actually searched themselves, they have NO idea how hard it is to get one. Took me a year and a half to get mine. Though that was someone doing the searching for me because i did not want one beat to hell.kyles1988 wrote:So do you guys that keep suggesting an OEM Aero bumper realize that he said he's been looking for one for like 3 years? Just wondering...
I think if you google Silvia Aero Bumper or something, one of the first entries is his Zilvia Sig, WTB: S13 Aero Bumper. It always comes up when I try to help find one.
I UNDERSTAND THAT! ....... Love your build by the way, The attention to detail and small things are what i love to see.Bumnah wrote:Do any of you guys understand that the S chassis NEEDS shock travel to actually handle well.

Aero on that car would be useless.
And trust me, EVERYTHING no this car is done with a purpose.
That's the beauty of it, is its perfect simplicity.
Besides, if Toby did aero, he'd rework it for 2 years until it fit better than OEM. Aero weighs more, creates drag, and is played out.
And so is too much drop. Bumnah is right on, too much drop is just for looks.

Re: (Ilvemynissan)
The car looks amazing toby, I like it! I think I liked the works just a little better as far as color, but the fitment of the new wheels is superb. It's a toss up on aero for me... personally, I'd rock the hell out of it exactly how it sits.
And sorry I have been sleeping on the gauge cluster... I finally got back from my honeymoon and I'm getting life sorted out. We will work something out this winter in the department.
Keep doing what you're doing, the car never fails to impress!

Re: (Broadfield)
Your car is already Perfect. Anything more or less would unbalance the Perfection. Who cares what others think? I mean it's your car so make it the way you want it. They either hate it or love it, but in the end what's signficant is that it's yours.
