How does that survive UK roads and speedhumps?!

It's on airbags. If it's a new car and it's that low, 90% chance its on bags. Simply raise them up to stock height and drive like normal. Another way to tell is the positive camber on the front wheels. McPherson struts gain camber under compression to a point, but after that they go positive. Nobody has their car aligned with positive camber. They have it because the car was aligned at a different height - the height they drive on - and it's just sitting there with slammed bags.

Looking good 👍 If there'd been a nice MX5 around over the last few weeks while I've been looking I'd have another by now...

Yeah they definitely turned out well. Looking to get a Hot version decal made in the future.

I think what he meant to ask was if it was street legal or not

My car technically isn't street legal.
It's not a race car.
Most modified cars, even mildly, aren't street legal, it's just some places enforce those laws more than others.

Being that a race, in the broadest context, is a competition based on objectively measurable parameters, technically any car being used to beat others, by whatever parameters may be chosen, is a race car during competition.
In the context that typically applies to cars, any car competing for the best measure of speed, whether it be lowest time, longest distance, highest speed, etc, is a race car during competition.
While drifting could be turned into a race through objective measurement of various parameters, it currently isn't, and therefore the cars competing are not race cars specifically, but only competition cars since drifting is indeed a competition; rivals battling for the best results.

There was a similar debate here once about posting race cars and tuned cars

If it was built to compete, or rebuilt to compete, or even modified specifically for competition, it counts. Or it should.
Although what constitutes a tuner car is more nebulous. If I slap some rims on and adjust my camber... am I a tuner?

I don't like that Subaru mostly because of the fact I have never seen it with matching wheels

Am I the only one that noticed this? Back story...? Looks just like this Turbo body 964 Cab I saw a while ago.
