If you like beer and a good build thread, you should click HERE.

Before I even click I have to assume this is the guy that shares a new beer at the beginning of every build update?

EDIT: Yes it was.

Dat GT2, MMM!

Would love to convert my Legacy Outback to be like that. Just...in wagon form.

I would sell my soul for that white GC8 in the background ughhhh

I have awesome plans for my Outback Sedan.






They will never happen.

[Eric.]

That's a lotta Star Spec.

 

[Cale]

I hope this Subaru theme continues. I wish there were more modded Outback sedans.

 

[Time_Attack]

Here's a Subaru for you.

I tweaked my neck looking at the last picture.

And it looks oh so good! I love cars with lots of rubber, they just look down right awesome. Looks so much better than all that stance crap.

Far as I'm concerned it still has no wheel gap and it's still flush. Still has stance.


Grip flush is good as well.

He could probably be another inch and a half lower if he ran some 185s on there.

Nice GT-Four. You don't ever see those in here.

 

[CodeRedR51]

SR powered Z32? Interesting...

 

[HACKr]

Not a Toyota guy but this thread could use more of those.

 

[Eric.]

Those were always my favorite generation GT-Four in all the Gran Turismos. Never have been a fan of the regular model, but those have all the right aggressive bits.

Bro, Alex is right. This thing is stanced.

The entire stance movement can be traced back to race cars from a long time ago - think original GT-R and 240Z - because their goal was to fit as much rubber under their fenders as possible. Resulted in flush. This whole thing is rooted in race cars' tendency to be flush and stanced. It happens to look awesome, so thats why people do it for looks. This car stuck to the fuctional aspect of it.

For the record, I think this car's tires are too wide. They've got some muffintop going on and its ugly. For reference, look at the 555 car Cesar posted, which is set up for tarmac rally. Note that the tires have no fat at all, and are very slightly stretched (like the tires on my Rex). Note how the fender clearance is very tight, especially in the rear, and if the tires were any wider they might not clear the fender.

So yeah, despite this Subaru guy's attempt at being awesome, he still did it wrong. If there's any example to follow for a tarmac setup of a Subaru, it would be the WRC team which raced the same exact car you have.

Keep in mind the regular models were pretty much totally different cars. Not just the same cars without the "agressive body kits." The GT-Fours were Toyota's homologation to use the Celicas in rally. All the body work had a purpose

Yup.

You just need to remember that they were regulated as to how wide a wheel and tire they were allowed to have. Your point still stands though.

..and most take it too far resulting in a monstrosity they like to call "cool".

I happen to like the beefy "bite your head off" look. But I guess it's just me. To each their own.

 

[Eric.]

Kinda weird fitment on this one

Tucking in the front, then sitting quite a bit higher in the rear with some poke?

 

[speed junkie]

Weird is a polite way to put it.

 

[Eric.]

Well, ya know, don't want anyone jumping down my throat like usual when their feelings get hurt.

 

[motortrend]

I don't know why there is so much hate on the 300zx sometimes, I quite like it:

The Z32 is best looking of all the Z cars.

 

[AOS-]

Imprezas AND GT-FOURs?

 

[happycorey]

To date never seen a good looking 300zx

However, I bring wallpaper
