You paid 8k for more weight, rotas, and no more power.

Epic build.

You clearly aren't paying attention. It's a daily. Who needs massive weight savings and tons of power for a daily?

Not a fan of rotas or the color, but i know what you were going for and you executed it quite well. Props!

I read it just fine.

Who said that daily's have to be slow?

Daily or not, it's my contention that most of the money spent on a car should make it better. His mods, with a stock engine, make it WORSE.


It DOES look good, but it could be just as (moreso, without rotas) mechanically sound, and preform much better, for the same price.

Who said it had to be fast? And who gives a shit what you think? It's his car, his money and he can do whatever he chooses to do with it. When you start funding his build, you can voice your opinion on what he is or isn't doing wrong. Until then, shut the fuck up.

Just because no one agrees with you, doesn't make it "kissing his ass". It's not about how you would do things. Fro chose to do it this way and it works. Am I a fan of his wheel choice or color? No, but is it executed well, yes. Open your eyes man, there is more than one way to skin a cat. This place has enough assholes.

Try to build a good running, reliable, fast 240 for what he spend and you will end up with nothing. Power costs a lot more money than people think.

PS: I am assuming you have not built anything that makes actual power.

Good job on the build Fro. The styling of the car is very similar to mine, Navan, simple wheels, but mine is pearl white and not as low.
