No worries dude! Still tryin to get the runners stance the way I like it, it's still not tuckin the wheels up all flush just yet. Once I do my rear leaf swap it should have pretty good fitment.

Not exactly what ur looking for; but look at my DP ;)

Manual, rwd, cheap, tough, reliable, factory boosted, easy to modify, ugly as sin. What's not to like?

edit: and I have a fourth in my driveway right now that doesn't run

Agreed. Eventually people would start to realize, that spending all that time/effort/money into getting these ridiculous fitments, is not worth it or even cracked up to all the hype. I was never a fan of this look, even before it took off. I remember when it was mainly the VW guys you'd see running these retarded fitments. I LOVE a flush set up, but some of the set ups you see guys runnin'... jesus. and don't get me started on some of the crazy tire streching that's needed too. :facepalm:

I'm big on people doing what they want to their cars. This scene shouldn't be like grade school, where you need to do certain mods to feel 'cool'. If you like the hellaflush/wheel poke, great. But I bet in a few years this trend will follow the eurolite tail lights/Fast & Furious trend, that everyone thought was cool back in the day. Don't lie, you probably thought that shit was cool at the time too. :D

I don't think you'd want a slammed ride in richmond :fuckthatshit:

speed bumps errrwhere

Ha.

Remember when wood panels were cool? How about big flames down the sides? How about slicks on the back and bicycle wheels on the front of everyone's daily driver? Or welded-chain steering wheels? Dingleballs? Kleenex boxes in the back window?

Stupidest thing is, none of these setups are actually "flush" in any aspect.

I've given up trying to explain to some guys, how tire stretching can be dangerous, etc. The typical response I get is: "But it looks sick man!". Sigh.

We should just let the VW scene carry on with this trend, and we can all go back to proper set ups that are actually functional.

This pretty much sums up my opinion. Jacked from another RS thread :D

What's worse is when some of these guys get pulled over, and cry foul claiming the cops are looking to fill a quota, or they don't have anything better to do like solving "real crimes".

The cops are not going to stay up to date with the latest fads in car culture and whether they're safe or not. If it looks unsafe, they have a duty to act on it. If that means pulling you over in your heatscore ride, that's something you should learn to live with. You made the decision to have your car look that way, you deal with the consequences. Don't try to pass the fault onto somebody else. The cop didn't make your car look like that.
