Now that's a proper car.

Needs a bit more suspension travel though. It's a rally car forchrissakes.

The piece I grabbed that pic from said the car actually had BBS air suspension..??

How on earth that could be better than a proper set of springs and shocks I have no clue.

Oh God, is nothing sacred? I'm all for air suspension on some cars and certain cars look good slammed but not a flippin' Integrale. Well done, they've just ruined it. Maybe they'd like to do a Ferrari Dino next? Or perhaps a Miura? If they're turning their attention to rally cars how about a Stratos? Why stop at butchering just one legend?...

I agree, air suspension has its place. But not on a Delta Integrale.

The article

"The ‘funny' thing is that this car is lowered on an airbag suspension system. You would think that it doesn't help in the performance or handling departments, but apparently Dieter thinks outside of the box and has mated the BBS airbag system with adjustable dampers from Koni in the front and Reiger in the rear"
 
As said, it'd look (and handle) better if it wasn't that slammed.

Still, it's one of the cars I'd love to own one day. But in red. :)
 

Oh lordy, it has NOS too :yuck:

Here, some better ones:

Air ride supposedly has come very far. I wouldn't know, haven't driven a car on air..
But I guess it's BSS and not BBS :) I still think the black one is hot..
 
Thanks for posting my photos, some credits would go a long way though! :)

:lol: I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that you were on this forum, I do apologise 👍 I'm sure if people had wanted to see more they'd have looked at the image sources (well... that's what I do anyway...).

Fantastic photos though. I have a DA account too, I'm pretty sure I've favourited a couple of them :)

Great, thanks I'm honoured :dopey:
 
Nice post Prosthetic, E30 looks staunch, 2 door Escorts are the goodness and you can never go wrong with a 205 Gtis/Rallyes.

A somewhat eclectic selection of pics but hopefully something for everyone.

Or at least most people :)

You should see what he's currently doing with that 240SX...

Yup, he's wrapping up the whole car in glitter vinyl.
 
*shudder*

No, just...that's for the Questionable Mods thread. Very, Very Disco.

and it's not REAL Kandy metalflake. Imitation + gaudy = not good.
 
Piss me off? you want me to taunt you on end?

I mean, If you want to be a Ricer, none of my business...

No taunting.. But you sure get upset over some rolls of vinyl. That's what they want :)
Atleast I ain't scared of being looked at as a ricer ;)

Bass boat-style FTW. My god, I've actually dreamt about Hondas rolling around with flakes so big you could eat them.
 
Lighten up people. One man's meat is another's poison, and all that.

As Eirik said, it's just a few rolls of vinyl. Unless it's OEM or JDM, people around here seem to look down on other styles like they've no right to exist...

For the record, hologramatic metalflake vinyl isn't really my thing either, but at least it's interesting. Girls will go "ooooooohhh" and kids will go "woooowwww!". If you're wanting a reaction, then let's face it, metalflake vinyl will get one.

The only people that would ever talk to you driving that car would be 6 year old's...

And what's wrong with that? Kids would grow up bored of cars if people always went with some obscure OEM paint job. To really get them interested in cars you need metalflake and loud exhausts.
