some 1800 love... nice

Amazing pics, but I was wondering why Drifters (or other motorsports) would put tape (or other similar sticky compounds) on the headlights and taillights? I never understood the purpose of doing so other than promoting the "prototypeness" of the car..

 

[Dennisch]

Probably to keep them from falling into pieces onto the track, when they hit something?

Prevents the glass from shattering everywhere should they get hit with a rock or something.

Ah, I never thought of it as means of safety.

Mandatory on japanese circuits I think.

Rally heritage like a boss.

I want that

That Celica photo is awesome. Never seen it. The Nissan Pulsar drivers are too badass for helmets

Also, that FC looks like a mix between extreme budget autoxer and hill billy try-hard. All because of that wheel/tire/height combo. Oh, and the lip. The rest of the car is immaculate though.

 

[Keef]

The lip isn't bad but the wheels, tires, and ride height are just totally bogus. Somebody cares to much about cone-weaving bragging rights. If your car is on rails that means you're not going fast enough.

But I love it either way. All it needs are some new wheels and a bit of low and it'll be ballin outta control.

[Glubags]

LOL

 

[Bram Turismo]

Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Do I dare say it lacks mudflaps, though?

 

[RocZX]

That GT-Four looks good.
What is the info on it ?

 

[motortrend]

Is that gt four an rc car or model car?

 

[speed junkie]

Sorry, no info on it. And it definitely looks like an RC.

EDIT:

Old Sarthe Circuit

I might have already posted this one^

 

[Keef]

LOL

That's funny because my friends and I have been talking about airing out a fitted car as a means of preventing towing and clamping. If there's no space around your wheels then they can't clamp it, and if your frame is on the ground then they can't tow it. Like a boss.

Too bad those VWs have front-mounted tow hooks. Mine are under the car so they'd never be able to reach them.

I have always loved that extended spoiler on the Mugen CR-X. Love it. Love it. Love it.

To make up for my last post..

Really need to find more sources than just speedhunters.

Not sure if this is visually pleasing, but seems to be a best with it's 570HP V8. The Mitsubishi Cordia.

 

[Keef]

Something about this car's stance intrigues me but I'm not sure what it is.

It's probably because it looks badass. I'm really digging the meaty tires.

And because I'm really contmplating getting rid of the Corrado for an E30, here are some E30 pics...

 

[speed junkie]

First E30 pic, Keef's car is somewhere in the background. Clearly not cool enough to be on canibeat

If you leave your car slammed they're just smash your bumper off and tow it away like that. They don't care.
