You got a wallpaper size of the first one? Thats awesome. :crazy:

EDIT: Nevermind, that one will work. Still, do you have a bigger one?
 
I like the RSX too, the Miata on the other hand not so much. The wing on the Miata does look ridiculous, not to mention the ugly paint scheme.

A lot of the time attack Miata guys are using those wings. It's ok if it's functional and the car puts it to good use. When I see wings like that on street cars, I want to punch the owner.
 
How do you get the white lettering on the tires? Paint, I'd assume, but surely not a run of the mill spraybomb.


On an unrelated note, I kinda want an FC.
 
You fools, whatever you do don't buy an FC!

Here's my friend Josh's E21. It looks good in the pics but it's a real rust bucket underneath, and even on top. It's like a worn out old battleship that just won't quit lol.

That S2K was looking something gorgeous until I scrolled down to the side view. I absolutely hate the look of tucked and low offset wheels. Sick wide bodied RSX, had to save one of those pics, but it would look better completely spoiler-less, imo. I don't find the look of race-car inspired daily drivers stupid at all. If it looks realistic, all the power to you. To me, large spoilers on street cars only look dumb when tools think they help their rice-mobile win street races; cheap ones just look horrible, period. I saw an "SCCA" Impreza in the parking lot at work today, with the wing part of the spoiler removed (the carbon supports were still up)... it looked great.

Some of my inspiration for not ditching the car in the first place, with links to their build threads for the interested:

MRT. Arguably ricey, but I think it's justified with all the suspension work he's done. I plan on doing occasional daily-driver track days with the SCCA in the future and would do something similar to my own car if it didn't get me laughed at by those who didn't know I actually used it. Not to mention it would kind of defeat the point of building a not-so-common tuner that doesn't attract cops with all that extra "look at me, I speed" crap on the car. Though I am considering canards. Sure I'm very rarely going fast enough for them to be useful, but I love the look! Hey, if muscle cars can get away with hood pins...

MRT ...I'd never touch a body kit, but I think our Accords pull off the Skyline look fairly well.

MRT. One of my main influences in styling. A clean but aggressive look... sans the business/ugliness of the intercooler and intersection lights.


... And for those that like offset

Grandma's grocery getter isn't so bad, eh?

^ No, I mean the tops of the wheels are tucked under the fender, yet they still have very low offset. Never heard of CCW.

*Hehe, should've refreshed before editing my last post.
 
CCW is a wheel manufacturer. Some of their wheels put to good use: (sorry if already posted)

All I'm sayin' is that the matte black grill should be standard equipment.

This was acutally the RS500.. The 'normal' Sierra Cosworth is ment to be daily and and is a sedan, 4wd. A few weeks ago it was in TopGear, next to the E36 M3 4door and Mercedes 190 Cosworth, wich is damn pretty car!

Gearbox layout of this car is pretty awesome. Where normally first gear is, there is reverse, where 2 is, is 1, and so on.. So you could shift faster, Mercedes said.. I think alot of back ends were wrecked :dopey:
 
I couldn't find a larger version so I tried to enlarge it myself. The first is only enlarged and the second is with some minor editing. I'm not the best but I tried. Hope you like.

Whoa, a rotary powered RX7... haven't seen that in ages.

And S15 front ends belong on S15s and nothing else.
