I wish they actually made this

The online renderings I've found look so real I almost replied "They do!".

But no, they're only considering it at this point.

It doesn't matter if they do; the US won't be getting it as the current 328i Tourings will be on their way out soon.
 
That Integra have a money shot? I see an intercooler...

BTW: that whole car is awesome. That > hella flush.

I may not be much of a follower of the movement but I don't think it's gay. Regardless, I think we can all agree that good fitment contributes to a large portion of a car's appearance.

I said it as a general statement. The people who coined the phrase 'HellaFlush' don't even call themselves 'HellaFlush.' These days people are trying WAY too hard, and everyone is trying to top everyone else. I like a mean stance with a tasteful look. Not haggard ****** ass fenders and some negative offset wheels.

I mean I obviously like cars like this

But the 'movement' is overall gone too far. Every kid with ill fitting sportmaxxs is living that hellaflush life that IS NOT tasteful anymore

hahaha, I know the guy who owns that car. Not a real M3, but it's still nice nonetheless. I wash my car at that same car wash all the time :lol:

It's just a cool pic
 
I was thinking, a turbo powered vtec engine, does it have purpose on the circuit? Doesn't it lose grip when coming out a turn? Seems to me the car just lost it's function.. Think you'll end up playing with the throttle big time..

HellaFlush sometimes looks good, but many people take it way too serious.. I want a car that I can drive on the circuit as hard as I want and not be looking out for a bump and slow down...

It's probably just built for his personal enjoyment. But depending on how much power he's putting it down, you could have 300hp or 500hp, and it could be great on the track, or it could be rubbish, but after I've been into Hondas for awhile and been around forums and people in the industry have shared their opinions, it's not about what you build, it's who you know to get in to magazines
 
I can't find any evidence to support it, but our car group used to run around with a Mexican guy we called "Vincent" a few years ago. He only came around occasionally, I've only seen his car on the road a few times, and he hardly spoke a word of English. His teeth were a disaster too.

But this ITR he had was absolutely ridiculous. It was white with a gnarly top-mount turbo. I remember his rear end being almost all gold stuff, especially the trailing arms. The car was lowered on the stock wheels. Probably the most distinguishing thing was that one of his driver-side high-beam was cut out with a custom piece of hose going through it, turning 90 degrees, and scooping air straight into the turbo inlet. The last time I saw it I think was in 2008 at Import Faceoff in Columbus. Haven't seen him or the car around since, which is surprising. The car was making about 400 at the wheels, and when I heard him race somebody from a distance the thing sounded terrifying.

Yeah, I agree. Also, the thing is this is happening in the car scene in general, not just in the "hellaflush" sub-genre. I am happy to know that since I have owned a car (and before) I was never part of any "scene."




And holly flying cows, Batman! Is that an accord with non-hellaflush stance and un-stretched tires?! In fact they almost look like r-comps. It will be the end of it when things take a turn for the worst and the hard parkers start showing up with "race cars." At least before they were on stretched all-seasons :lol:



And also this awesome thing...
