I gotta take a road trip down to PA to see all these cars. All the s13's here are mostly chopped and butchered or rusted to hell.

I dunno Keegs, but I thought you were building for grip with all the grip parts and everything grip tuned so I kinda thought you might be looking for track worthy performance.

I'm sure it's worthy, but I going drift style, rally style, or track style doesn't really make much of a difference on the street.

the "touge" lifestyle is where its at. doesnt matter what car, what ethnicity, what background.... just underground, corner-killing, fun-loving cars are where its at. this is a car meet, daily driver, over built kinda car. i LOVE dailying this thing, getting compliments, and knowing it spent my money well on this car.

its a little bit of drift style, a little grip style, and mostly my own style... and i LOVE this f***ing car.

Nah, just the bash bar.

No real story, we just ran to Walmart to pick up a soldering iron at 2am and were about to turn off of Main street Ephrata and an Impala pulled up behind us at a red light with no markings on it but I could see the light bar inside the car. We had installed LEDs in the turn signals 2 hours prior so the turn signals blink really quick; he didn't like that so he pulled us over.

He said the following things were illegal:Turn signals blinked too fast.No rear bumper support.Tires rub fenders.No front indicators.

The cop was kinda cool and walked Keegan through everything to make it legal again and only wrote a ticket for no rear bumper.

F*** bump steer. If you're not breaking stuff down there, you're not low enough to consider yourself slammed.

Trust, I've broken more than just the rack.

Your friend is also on 16's. F*** 16's.

Coupes should really come with a Silvia front end, period.

But do the Type X it'll piss White Comet off.

Psh, yeah 16s on a 50 side wall. If I had money for anything bigger, I would, but I'm broke. I'll still show up lower.
