escaping from the way of the dumped ride - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

maaaaaaaaaaan I just came to the realization...

having an incredibly dumped car is freaken stupid.

its ricey.

especially if you drive your car every day. its just freaken so stupid. it rides like ass. doesnt handle well. scrape on everything. bad axle angle (I think?).

my car used to be dumped as crap (nearly tucking 15's in the front, tucking in the back). I raised my car up and am soooo much happier. better ride, better overall performance... better everything. The only thing I sacrificed imho was looks, and I dont mind not looking like a ricer.

I honestly say I enjoy

much more.

lol I'm not hating, just am more or less renouncing my faith in extreme slammitude. have fun driving!

yeah... but i agree with you... i just want to go a little lower than i am right now... but im not dumped or anything really low

nistech · 03-16-2006, 05:03 AM

so u are saying low cars are rice?

lilredstiffy · 03-16-2006, 05:53 AM

ive been thinking about raising mine, the bad axle angle is killing me here bro

kuramaya · 03-16-2006, 06:22 AM

show me a pic of what you consider rice as far as ride height...if you have good dampers you can be low and have a good ride..but to me a stiff ride is good..it's why I drive a sports car...

Heh, I couldn't afford a sports car, so I'm stuck w/ an S13 with coilovers

j/k man

... personally I don't really like the stiff ride of coilovers, but I love the way they make my car handle so I deal with it

REDSH!FT · 03-16-2006, 06:28 AM

Uh...if you lower your car to the point that you're adversely affecting your performance then you're retarded.

Dousan_PG · 03-16-2006, 09:05 AM

good glad you raised it
did u dump it on stock suspension arms? then yeah it will ride like shit.
tucking 15s is for retards anyways..15s are for ae86s and civics..

Too many people run their s13 on 15's...

P4rD0nM3 · 03-16-2006, 09:44 AM

Nooooo, I got 15s...

Enjin · 03-16-2006, 12:50 PM

lol yeah I am on the megan race coilovers. I know that if you have some of the more baller coilovers out there, then you can do that.

even so...

if you ride where you constantly have to avoid small bumps in the road and have to go at a 1degree angle across speedbumps, its still stupid. drift king (and well... every other true racer) says that you should have your suspension up to handle the best while still compensating for the little bumps in the road. of course I am not talking about strictly racing on a smooth track.

lol yay!

basically going off of this:

rice: choosing looks over, or in such a manner that it adversely affects, performance.

Enjin · 03-16-2006, 12:59 PM

yeeeeeah edited

lololol good idea

lol I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I just have NOooOOooo idea why I ever was that dumped! It feels soooo much better being at a good ride height.

heyyyyyyyy

ALTRNTV · 03-16-2006, 12:56 PM

I agree with you, sort of.

You know what your sig reminds me of... the new Mustangs.

ALTRNTV · 03-16-2006, 01:00 PM

Oh wow. Expect to be FLAMED to hell now...

i like it. its just part of the personal preference that people have with their cars.

dont hate.

thats scooters car , and that car will own yours anyday.

Nan Desu Ka?! · 03-16-2006, 01:08 PM

im with akademikONE
wow, attacking members ride's is a no no. i would edit that if i were you. I mean, its all well and good to have an opinion... but that might get ya uber flamed.

Enjin · 03-16-2006, 01:14 PM

lol yeah. its not even like me to hate at all. you guys like being dumped so its yalllls deal. doesnt affect me

me != drama starter so I edited. I <3 all you guys!

lol yeah a missing front end does tend to give that BLOCKY RETRO I GAWTZ POWERRRRRRRR look mwuahahaha

**mrmephistopheles** · 03-16-2006, 03:15 PM

run at least 17s and dump it. You won't complain as much.

usdm180sx · 03-16-2006, 03:40 PM

It's funny how people get flamed for running high offsets but not for being super slammed/dumped.

ALTRNTV · 03-16-2006, 03:46 PM

^
I'd rather be slammed/dumped than run pizza cutters.

I wouldn't do either but again it's a free country.

*ManoNegra* · 03-16-2006, 04:58 PM

I think most of us have been guilty of coming to sites like this one, seeing cars with their tires tucked inside the wells and doing the obvious (lowering the car) to get 'the look' then drive pogo sticks on the freeway.
As already mentioned many of us neglect the details (adjustable arms and suspension work) to get the car riding smooth. Gotta look tight first... damn priorities. I know I have in the past.

i completely agree with you!!! people just want to super slam their cars and dont even care about camber issues... I remember after i got all new multi link suspension and and alignment, car felt sooo much nicer and smooth!! not to mention it just glides out there on the track..

topsecretgold · 03-19-2006, 12:00 AM

Mines max dumped and handles like a champ...and i dont think anyone would call it rice.

*kognition* · 03-19-2006, 12:11 AM

If your car has never seen a track, then your a ricer.

Unless... there is another word for guys who have never tracked but do not consider themselves a ricer. Is it Tuner? I'm kidding, don't listen to me, because i just got home from HIN at the Q and walked away feeling very queezy and saddened.
