IT doesn't really matter if you can see them or not, the fact of the matter is, 4 months ago Falkon made that post saying his body kit was held on with zipties, yet he is in this thread hating on people for doing the exact same thing..

is that not the text book meaning of hypocrisy?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when did he ever hate on people for having their body kits held on to their cars with zipties?

i can't tell if you're trolling or if you're really just that fucking stupid

[harris180]

how is it trolling? is that not exactly what is going on in this thread? People with cars that aren't 100% flawless talking shit about other people who's cars arent 100% flawless?

Stupid to see this thread at the top of chat as of lately, Everyone has been purging their hate of other peoples cars so much in this thread lately all the other cool threads are dying.

I've tried avoiding this thread with every visit I and I'm sure others have aswell but nobody seems to be posting anything lately on the cool threads. Almost as if the lurkers have a reason to post(in this thread now) and argue, and the real top posters with something worth reading or seeing on here have completely stopped.

Further justifies zilvia as a useless community and a dying one, I am surprised the mods let this thread stay alive.

The funny thing is, this thread has actually gotten me to start looking at the Tech and Chat sections more often. Prior to this thread, I only came here for the classifieds section, and the occasional OT post.

Even though I sold my 240 over a year ago, I'll still try to help answer tech questions if I know the answer.

PS, harris180 I think you missed my post on the last page, sweetie.

Funny thing is, It's doing the same for me as well, Finding myself reading up on other threads I usually don't visit. But it's just a shame to want to take a break from reading to see some cool updates on chat but to only see that in that in the past hour(s) this stupid thread is having a dumb debate whether the car is shit or not or some turd with an imperfect car talk shit about someone else car and pointing out its flaws...

Yeah, some of the bickering does get old after awhile. I think the original thread was a little better about that.

There is NO S-chassis that exist on this Earth is 100% flawless.

harris180, I have tried my hardest to refrain from commenting to anyone of your post. But you have severely missed the entire purpose of this thread.

Now while the original thread which intended purpose was to highlight bad ideas, tragic ideas that went wrong, things that was a problem with the "scene" and pointing out cars that contribute to the monstrosity plague that have hit the s-chassis scene in general...even Chris Fosberg said this missile crisis is getting insanely out of control. So if anyone have anything to say the means anything on any influential level, it would be Chris Fosberg, who also endorsed the missile attitude beforehand.

Subliminally IMO, it was to acknowledge that there is a problem with our scene and possibly a vague attempt to set some type of standard or least what is a for sure "NO".

Seriously man? Your a prime example of taking shit wayyy too literal. I don't think anyone severely means word from word, 100% exact literal meaning in this thread man.

I have 2 zipties that is holding a small crack piece on my bumper. It's blending in with the paint (doesn't take that long or hard to make it look uniform) and unless you was staring dead fucking close to the car, you wouldn't even notice it. But besides that...I'm not doing it wrong.

I have said this over and over. It's not about having zipties is doing it wrong, or mismatch fenders, ISIS/Megan/Circuit Sports, etc, Clip releases, knock off rims, blah blah blah etc etc etc. that automatically puts you in the category of doing it wrong

IT'S ABOUT THE FACT THAT IF YOU PROUDLY, HONORABLY, WITH ALL YOUR GLORIOUS PRIDE AND MIGHT, GO TO THE ARM FUCKING LENGTH AND PERSONALLY TAKE A GOOD S-CHASSIS, AND YOU FUCK IT UP, CONDEMN IT, DESTROY IT AND DOING OVERLY OBNOXIOUSLY TRENDY SHIT INTENTIONALLY WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO EITHER BE NEGLECTED, MECHANICALLY UNRECOVERABLE, OR FUBAR'D ENTIRELY. THEN HAVE THE AUDACITY TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO CURE YOUR ATTENTION CRAVING AND TRY TO BECAME E-FAMOUS AND MAKE IT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A SHITBOX.

Whether you want to accept this or not, this is a problem, a real fucking problem here in the U.S. We don't have the blessings like Japan, and can go get another 240sx/laurel/chaser etc etc given the fact half those fucking cars wasn't sold here man. So once the S-Chassis starts to succumb to it's demise (which it is currently) then hey, that's it and I HIGHLY doubt we going to start importing s13's/s14's from Japan after 25 years. So yea...

As a hardcore JPN "fanboi" I agree the cars from Matsuri in Japan looks like shit. Even if you was with that guy with that Tomei crate engine, it does change the fact it looks like shit. Even if it's "track car" at the end of the day...it still looks like shit.

Once again, this is thread and the original is not based off driving styles, whether or not the person having fun or etc. It's exclusively in retrospect a style/appearance/surface based thread.

I agree drifting is about having fun, it's about cooling out with your buds, smoke a little bit, drink little bit and getting sideways again, you know all that good shit. I also understand drifting with the significantly increase likelihood of crashing or damaging your car (minor to major). But even though its all about keeping drifting fun and all that good stuff...I don't recall drifting EVER being about purposely making your car look shit. I don't recall drifting EVER about intentionally making your car unsafe to drive, let alone even fucking drift.

Why the fuck would you intentionally make your car highly unsafe, and participate in a motorsport that has one of the highest chances of crashing, injury and/or fucking up your car? That's backwards as shit. I'm not saying you have to have State-of-the-Art NASA-spec space grade, composite carbon, re-entering the fucking atmosphere prep safety. But the fact you car is falling apart, rotten away, and you willingly make it unsafe because it's "cool" I'm sorry, it's doing it wrong, and highly fucking dangerous given the nature of drifting man, especially if you do this shit on the street.

and the fact you will "keep driving them to the ground" damn sure lets me fucking know how you treat your car.

I drift/spirit drive my car very frequently AND it's daily driven. I'm so fucking anal with my maintenance, that every day and I shit you not, I pop my hood once in the morning before I go to work, and the evening when I come in from school and do a quick rundown check for vacuum leaks, oil leaks, rusty bolts, broken bolts, oil check, antifreeze check and just to inspect my STOCK KA because the fact I drive my car harder in 1 weekend then most cars see in 1 whole week of daily commuting and it's daily ontop of that. I have literally a fucking plethora of gaskets, oils, fluids, sealants, little cheap pieces (clips, rings etc) and oh yea...I do have my box of handy dandy high tensile strength zipties, for a QUICK & TEMPORARY FIX. Not a permanent...but TEMPORARY fix that I will go back and PERMANENTLY fix the problem if such a problem arose.

People fail to realize it's not necessarily the big things that makes your car looks like shit, it's the numerous of small things that accumulate to a fucking mess that makes your car looks like shit. Both mechanically, and aesthetically.


You have to pay to play to do it right and just because it's "Fun" doesn't mean you get the best QUALITY of fun.

Yeah what he said.

lol.

It had some random stuff written on it, and still does, but isn't an attention whore.

It's not a hack job, the fenders don't look like smashed assholes, etc. It's ratty without being a piece of shit. Hell, even the mismatched wheels have a reason- TEs are stronger than CEs and I have a tendency to drop rear wheels off when I'm goofing around and drifting. Also, why would I paint my car when I have no sponsors to impress and haven't finished the build?

Wrecked drift and track cars are still pieces of shit, regardless of whether or not they have a heart of gold.

Doesn't it matter to anyone with a wrecked car that their torsional rigidity is roughly equal to that of an overcooked noodle? There's missile drifting, and then there's missile drifting for the sake of drifting a missile- where you become complacent and bash the car up because "who cares?"

I understand using a missile to perfect something like tapping a wall, but to use it as your sole drift car? Misses the point, as others have said, that drifting is a combination of aesthetics- the aesthetics of the car and the aesthetics of the driving. It is not aesthetically pleasing to see people ramming each other, driving with a middle finger out the window, and ripping bumpers off their car each pass.

I'd be embarrassed as hell if I was passing myself off as a pro (or even pro-am) drifter and my car didn't look like a Club FR/late-'90s/early-'00s Japanese tuner build- those cars are exactly what I'm looking for when I feel like watching a drift video. Good paint, great fitment, presence and professionalism. Completely different than Formula D nowadays and the exact reason why I couldn't care less about drifting anymore.

I understand some people are having fun, but they're still doing it wrong. Just because you're having fun driving around a track, you can still be missing every apex and doing it wrong. You can do it right and have fun too.

PS- screw "ratchet" in its face. It started as a mispronunciation that ballooned into something ignorant people say to each other. If I hear it in person I'm likely going to publicly shame the speaker.

This post was heavily overlooked and sums literally the principle of drifting despite all the BS that have been posted...harris180, I honestly believe your not trolling and your just...idk man.

Anyways, I'm done commenting in this thread, apologize for the long essay, but got damn, I never seen someone so fucking asshurt in my life. You will would think homie got a rammed by 20" fiery raging strap on up the ass. Jesus christ man.
