Anyone building a scraping shakotan-style ride isn't going to be tracking it, and they probably only take it out once in awhile.

My Miata is probably going to be sparking on the ground, but I'm really only building it so I can drive around sparking on the ground, lol. I'll have fun with that for a few months and then sell it and buy something a *little* more practical.

Not every car need be trackable. Non-functional stuff is only lame when the owner/builder claims that it has functionality that it does not. If someone is making no pretenses about a given car's abilities and is instead just doing whatever they want to it just because they happen to like it, it's totally subjective and thus a little silly to critique.

I want a LOW car with a 3-foot boso pipe, tons of oni camber, flares, and a godawful boro "paint" job because I'm the only 20-something living in my little upscale neighborhood and I want to generally scare the piss out of all the young yuppie families + elderly people there. I don't need any better rationale than that.

Ruining the handling IS stupid.

Go ahead and lower a car to the point it's drastically effecting suspension geometry, just know you're being mocked while you do it.

sooo...you created an account just to make one post reviving a 3 month old thread and to state your dislike towards nissans? omg, you're so awesome, it hurts

everyone has an opinion on these trends, what i don't get is why people get so butt hurt over what someone else thinks is cool.

no sir, that involves sliding meat between the tatas

the rust trend is goddamn retarded btw.

so is tire stretching.

I HATE the look and you're gonna loose traction.

I'm still old school and think you need to stuff the biggest tire you can on the wheels....sort of.

if your wheels are so big that you can't put tires on it without them rubbing, get smaller wheels.

flush is fine, but poor fitment goes both ways.
