Its a shame he has no eye for design :bleh: still, props for all the work he's doing.

Sportmax love... They look nice sometimes. Even if they are cheap and ricey.

:drool:

heaps of people here (mainly drifters) run stretched tires and i've never seen one come off, even when using yum cha brand tyres. i had a bit of stretch on the front on my last car using reasonable tyres (toyo proxes 4 215/45 on a 17x9" rim) and i had no issues with grip, and i had more road feel than when i was running the same size tyre on a 17x8" rim. i could have fitted a 225/45 tyre, but at $80 a tyre extra for a 5% increase in contact patch, it wouldn't be worth it. going wider isn't always the best if you are sacrificing decent compound for a slightly larger compound patch. on the rear you don't want stretched tyres, but you don't want bulging tyres either or the car will wobble. my mr2 came with 225/50 tyres on a 16x6" rim on the back and it felt terrible. i've now got 16x7" rims on the back with 205/45 tyres and it handles a lot better.

looks pretty hot, but i doubt they will actually make it.


anyhow, less talk, more pics!



i've forgotten what the name of this car is, but it's pretty insane.

So like most things Ricers do, it is to look "cool" at the sacrifice of performance... :lol:

I've noticed something, to run stretched tires most people reccomend a higher psi than a tire of the proper sizing... I know in my car, if I keep the tires up where they are the happiest, they tend to also give an increase in road feel. I honestly have to wonder if this isn't just bogusness brought on by most ricer drivers not realizing the difference 50psi in a tire makes vs. 30psi in terms of overall tire rigidity. I can also see a another reason for all the extra pressure when you spread a tire like that you concave the contact patch, so you push the pressure up to make it go slightly convex.

i ran 34psi in my tyres, same with all the wheels i had. i experimented a bit with tyre pressures, anything significantly less made the tyre sloppy, anything significantly more made it too hard and reduced grip.


mmm carbon

civic. it's gangsta yo

Something about that car makes me want to mount it and have my way with it.

The little kid behind the wheel? :nuts:

I saw that. Lucky little ****. I would throw a spear through her head to take her place.

Huh? Hello, Mc. Fly is anyone home? It's right hand drive. :lol:




288 GTO Evoluzione, without it the F40 would have never been made.

:lol: I totally forgot about that. There is a LHD Sagaris though :D



Nom.

Grim: I take it that you are one of the fellow few that enjoy good old school German engineering. Here are a few of my car for your viewing pleasure.




All the way to the left in this picture^^


EXTREMELY over Pshopped picture from somebody on one of the local forums.

Nice car man. You part of any of the e30 forums? R3v, e30tech?

What kind of wheels are those btw.

Both. haha
On r3v I go by PiercedE30, E30T I go by PiercedGuy.
Wheels are E38 basket weaves (16x8, et23) on E30M3 suspension.

yes, they somehow made a ford taurus look even uglier

Daaaaaaaaamn, I don't know what the **** that is.

it's a ford taurus. also note the 3 rolls of toilet paper on the back parcel shelf

Someone should tell that guy they installed his engine wrong :bleh:

yeah it's a chop, but still funny

Was testing the 3.2mpixel camera on my new Palm Pre. Not too shabby. All I've done is crop it.

it's still fwd, probably mostly standard under the bonnet as well

and now for something sexy... carbon fibre bodied veyron

Front wheel drive with a supposedly stock motor equipped with monster rear tires and a rear wheelie bar.

I'm speechless. :huh:

Why would you think its a stock motor .. haha.. with that added weight it would barely be able to run if it was a stock motor
