I think because the car is black the tyres seem to disappear....

That's because there is no tire...

That's borderline stupid stretched.

 

[Keef]

Borderline my ass. Those look like super-wide motorcycle tires.

 

[-Fred-]

At roughly 1100$ per wheel, I'd personally be scared to run that much of a stretch...

 

[Revheadnz]

NZ$7K for a set of wheels. I'd just buy another car with that money.

^So, it has an SR20.. what it also has is high probability to get broken oil pan with all aftermath included. Cool ride, but I would try protecting the oilpan somehow.

Fortune Auto has a few really nice S15s as well. They are somewhere here in Virgina, but I've never really looked into where they were located.

Speaking of which, local member on FC who picked this puppy up last month.

Last one was taken at Sage's grand opening.

 

[Perfect Balance]

I didn't know they ended up selling one. Looks awesome though.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Is that an EG Civic "spoiler" on the roof?

[Perfect Balance]

Rear looks a bit unfinished, but the rest is awesome.

 

[Leonidae]

now THAT is a stance I approve.

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

Jesus, that's awesome.

 

[Eric.]

Just the rear? Its missing both bumpers and a grille!

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the final stage of it though. Looks pretty badass otherwise. I wonder how hard it will be to get one of those or a Datsun 510 in 10-15 years.

That makes me want to go to the 8thCivic meet down in Newport on Saturday. Maybe I can scout some proper FDs and share some pics.

You won't see any FDs, the only one that I'm aware of is the one owned by StreetLightz that was posted at the Eibach meet. I'd love to make it down to the Tail of the Dragon meet that 8thcivic is doing this September, but the lodging they are going with is outrageous.

The noseguard needs to go on that Fiji, however.

Edit: Whoops, same thread. Merge if you like, mods.

 

[Dijital Majik]

That Hakosuka is epic!

 

[Revheadnz]

And under the bonnet...

Edited a few hours later....Badass local 180, something for the drift boys

Fontana isn't too awful bad if you stay in the main building and split the room. If I can't convince my buddies to stop by the Dragon on the way to IA (Miatas at the Gap is going on that weekend, fffuuuu) then I might go with my ex to 8th Civic. My car will see the Dragon this year.

Damn dude. You're making that trip even more tempting. Its during school though, and I don't want to miss a day for that.

 

[Bram Turismo]

That is just perfect, no rediculous stretch and low ride height, but a perfect stance 👍

 

[Perfect Balance]

It's actually tucking tire, it's slammed as far as those things go.

Miss school? Don't be a woman. Have you ever been to the Dragon before? If you haven't then you need to stop talking and go. If you go once it's guaranteed you'll go again, and again.

He's rolling on RS-2s which means he's not about going fast, which means he bought those RPF1s because they're cheap and not because they weigh 9 pounds. His rollbar isn't triangulated at all which means it's nearly pointless, and yes, it's slammed.

Maybe this is the reason nobody ever sees MR-Ss at car shows. Because tuning a car like that to look good is fresh, pure, unpasteurized fail.

EDIT: It looks sweet though, actually.

 

[Revheadnz]

That R100 that Ultraflow posted is so tough, can just imagine it pulling down the main straight at Fuji at 10,000rpm.

EDIT: It looks sweet though, actually.

That's why I posted that pic

 

[Time_Attack]

I really like my RS2s. I really don't see what the problem is.

 

[Perfect Balance]

Hey keef, remember when you thought those tires would be awesome and I told you they wouldn't simply for the sole reason that they couldn't even come up with an original tread design?


Yeah, just thought I should give myself a pat on the back for that and remind you about it...

 

[Keef]

I really like my RS2s. I really don't see what the problem is.

Meh, we probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway. I've just chosen then as my pick-on tire. They're like the Volkswagen of tires to me, lol.

PB is right, it is slammed...

Here is one at stock height...

Found this pic, not exactly an import but it has to go in here, as this one of the best threads I've seen on the whole internet (apart from the picky kids, the nerds and all the bitching, but that's gtp for ya).
