Imports

[Boffin]

I just have my own opinion tis' all. I know thats not so welcomed here but whatev's, moving on.

Yeah, well I thought it would be an opinion (which is fine), I was just making sure you have heard of the car and the figures, that's all 👍.

This would be a better handler, thats for sure. EVO tested the Sportec and gave it 5/5, calling it the ultimate Porsche so far. As an all rounder, yes it is, but I just think the performance figures of the 9ff probably are more impressive. 9ff say the GT9 can do a slalom the same time as a normal Carrera S, but I highly doubt it.....and no, I'm not having a go at you.

Are they... please tell me they're not... 997 Turbo rims... on a Golf

The questionable mod thread is that way >

Yeah,it's very questionable.
Almost questionable as Golf wheels on a Golf.

 

[Stotty]

HTF do you get a 305/30/19 to fit the rear of a golf? Or are they using 2 sets of fronts?

They don't look too bad IMO... the style quite suits the shape... but retaining the original Porsche centre caps is just plain silly.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

They didn't look that good on the Porsche and they don't look good on the VW.

^ This. Never been keen on them on the Turbo and they don't help the Mk5's shape any either.

Sorry, I wasn't aware we weren't allowed to discuss things we didn't like and were only allowed to comment if we did like something... unless I'm mistaken and we are, and you're just making a big fuss over it. Yeah, that must be it...

In otherwords, keep the hypocricy away, we don't want it. Just further up the page you're moaning that "opinions aren't welcome here" and as soon as people offer theirs you get in a strop

Nice MINI, Joey. Would be even better if the centres of the wheels were painted black rather than grey. The Clubman looks great too. Really like those things, though I'm aware I'm in a minority with that...

 

[Jetboy.]

I think the Mini/BBS combo is a tired theme. It look good but I swear it's all people do.


Cheers.

Never see it in the UK actually, must be a States thing. They all roll around on nasty OEM wheels here...

I wasn't referring to anything you've stated hfs. From what I've noticed, you usually have something positive to contribute, no matter what the topic or thread is. What I was, referring to was things always being "questionable" just because it doesn't fit personal taste. Its not hypocricy, becuase theirs a difference in stating dislikes and stating, 'why the hell is it here? it should be in the rice thread'. I guess i'll stick to the favorable honda, nissans and minis or not waste my time contributing at all.

There are very few rims that look good on Coopers, most of them look cheap or out of place.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying BBS rims are the only good looking ones for the Cooper. It's just more difficult to find ones that look good and don't have them. I mean I don't have BBS's and I think mine look pretty good .

===

Any way, here's a couple more, sans BBS this time

Epic stance!

RWD, M3 powered Cooper...I can't imagine how scary that thing is to drive.

 

[Jetboy.]

The Gulf Cooper, the Blue Cooper and the M3 Cooper are all win. :tup:

Just about perfect...

Same car, different wheels...

Moar!

 

[McLaren]

Synth's car is just gorgeous. One of the best looking NSX's around.

 

[DKX]

Fred, stop posting porn.

Epic cars.

 

[Sharky.]

Oh my. That NSX is

 

[Revheadnz]

Gorgeous NSX.

1000+whp

 

[-Fred-]

Yikes.

 

[Sharky.]

Reminds me of Nick Zervos' Evo II:

915whp without giggle gas.

 

[Jetboy.]

NSX is intense as hell.

And what godawful trim is that turbo?!?! That's like an 80 or something equally useless

Some MKIII Supra love:

 

[Jim Prower]

Anyone found pics of a new Mini on Minilites? (or Watanabes/any other 8-spoke.) Especially mildly deep-offset ones?

 

[Sharky.]

Good enough?

Love the rims on that second Supra.

A lot of people run Konig Rewinds, AVS ES100, or Panasports, I haven't seen many MINI's with Minilites on them.

More pictures here if you are interested:

[Boffin]

Joey, the Gulf Mini is....just awesome. 👍


As is the NSX....but I'd reather the second set of wheels it had.

 

[McLaren]

Not positive how many of these are actually in the US and legit-able ones, but this was easily in the Top 3 of the rarest cars at our meet Saturday.

There's a fairly local company here called Fortune Auto which has a few of those imported in the states. I'm curious as to how they are registered and all, but then again Virginia isn't too strict on stuff like this.
