...and here's some research on the Evo 9's vortex generators in case you don't believe Cody.

^Awesomeness.

And one big 👎 to that white 180.

On the topic of factory spoilers...whoever the designers were for the majority of 90s japanese cars with factory spoilers, I applaude their accomplishemnts. 180sx Type-Xs, S14s, S15s, FDs (later models) FCs (S5,) Skyline GTRs, the list just keeps going. The overall design of the spoilers of these cars flow so well with the lines of the car. Without them they look naked to me. Also I have partly the same reason as PB stated with the "racecar look."

couple more pics of the red M3 on the last page:

What's with the FWD crowd dangling things off their rear tow hook? Didn't that start in the drifting scene, and is known as a "drift buddy"?

We felt left out.




And by "we", I don't include myself. Tow hooks are silly enough on street cars before you go hanging plush toys off it.



Edit: I think I would have a different trunk or something for the street with that M3. The wing looks kinda ridiculous even if it is really functional. That's just a few steps below the Time Attack guy's.

I WANT THAT. Except with a stock front end and 15" panasport wheels instead of the meshies. I really want a white S1 to go with my red S3. Somebody buy me one? :-D

When I do get one, it will receive a ported 13b. 250whp would be the target. Achievable fairly easily with a properly setup aggressive bridgeport or peripheral port and good intake/exhaust tuning. It might even be possible with a large streetport.

Panasport? You mean Watanabe? You don't put Panasports on a Japanese car.

 

[speed junkie]

Lol yeah. Not that they look that good on other cars either. Clearly he means this...

And one big 👎 to that white 180.

To each their own. I personally think it looks great! Where did you see it anyway dac_xint? I forgot to ask you today.

 

[hemisport15]

little SW:Australia love.

Gorgeous.

 

[speed junkie]

I've always liked decals on wheels. I wonder why it hasn't caught on. Not that I have much of an idea of what to put there that wouldn't seem cheesy.

I want that.

A lot of these automotive "photographers" need to step away from Photomatix and Photoshop. That old RX-7 looks so out of place because of the use of the blur tool, etc.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Put the original spoiler back on and I'd consider that as nearly successful and tasteful.

Ha I just thought it was with a "nifty Fifty" lens, like a 50mm f1.4. But you are most likely right.

Original spoiler? As far as I know, they didn't come with one.

don't know if I have posted these yet


Volkswagen R32 by 〄 Reece M, on Flickr

This is no R32.. More likely a GTi. Look up more closely you see GTi seats too (or V5/V6). Not sure what that front lip is though, looks a bit like a 25 jahre lip but it's not..

Mother. Of. God.

 

[motortrend]

That 1 series looks very tastefully modded. Design-wise,I really prefer the normal 1 series to the 1M, it's just a much prettier and smoother design. I think the 1M's intakes and other body changes could have been implemented in a more discrete way

R34: "He's right behind me, isn't he.."

 

[happycorey]

To be honest, I don't know which one I would want more.. (the GTRs)

 

[CodeRedR51]

^^^ Hatch FTW.

 

[Keef]

I don't get why people like coupes really. They look even cheaper and crappier than the hatchbacks, like the rear window was just an afterthought.

 

[Dac_Xint]

 

[Time_Attack]

I like them both but still think the engine is in the wrong place.

I would much rather have a coupe, for the simple reason that it can become this:

Without the coupe, it would be a Sil-eighty, and sil-eightys are ugly.

If you have the money, you might be able to convert your car to the coupe.

I think it's time I finally contributed to this thread.

 

[disinfected]

Now we're talking again. Plain and simple is where it's at.

 

[deadcell96]

Good. I was kinda getting sick of all the hellaflush cars.
