Skid Plates, Low Cars, Aquaplaning, Pride & Prejudice

[racepar1]

Don't drive lile a retard and you won't have to worry about hydroplaning...

...pretty damn simple!!!





EDIT: For those of you with plywood splitters:

YOU SUCK!!!! Go make a REAL splitter that won't splinter into a bazillion pieces if you hit it with a fucking pebble... You can make your own carbon fiber or fiberglass one at home, it's not THAT hard. You can make one out of alumalite, which is two thin sheets of aluminum with a honeycomb bonded in-between. Plywood is straight-up backwoods redneck ghetto BS...

Yes, I'll make a fiberglass splitter to protect my fiberglass bumper... Wait a minute.

These are for scraping and banging into things, why would I take the time to make a carbon fiber or alumalite one when it's main purpose is to scrape on the ground? The slightly better gas mileage and front end stability are just a bonus, hahahah. Any street-driven low car is going to hit something nasty eventually, I would hate to see my $150 carbon fiber splitter crack in half from something stupid like that.

For real though, I don't know why you guys are all up in arms about this, plywood works perfectly fine and is plenty durable.

Actually the purpose of a splitter is to make DOWNFORCE. If you're not trying to make DOWNFORCE then why the splitter??? Just make an underpanel out of sheetmetal. Oh, that's right, I forgot. You can't hard-park like a badass with just an underpanel that nobody can see...

Splitters are NOT for street cars, PERIOD.

Plywood does NOT work "perfectly fine" either. Plywood is NOT strong enough to hold up to the forces that a PROPER splitter sees. I've got more than one buddy that made himself a super awesome plywood splitter only to have it rip itself straight off the car at high speed on the first trackday. It also wears EXTREMELY quickly. REAL race cars don't even use plywood for wear strips because it wears too fast. We use a produck called Jabrock, which is plywood impregnated with resin and compressed at high pressure. Yeah, that's not cheap either. Plywood is NOT strong enough, and it does NOT work fine. It is ghetto, cheap-ass, backwoods, redneck bullshit.

ONLY in the 240sx "community" is fashion valued so much higher than function. ONLY here is price valued so highly over pride.

Since when is any aero on a drift car actually for downforce. What planet do you live on where you believe any of us drifters actually care about the aerodynamic effects of the cool shit we rivet to our cars.

I'm not a drifter. I really don't give a fuck if you care. Your attitude is ignorant and childish. You have no taste. Stick to neon colors and shiny trinkets, good for you. I'll continue to make my car fast and talk about whatever I want. I have NO RESPECT for "drifters", sorry someday you'll grow up and understand...

BTW, go you! Maybe next time you could find an older post to quote...


EDIT: I smell a troll, drifters use zip ties, not rivets...

You act like a fucking five year old to anyone who doesn't like the same thing you do, which happens to be the majority of people on the forum.

It's like joining a forum for Xbox games/discussion and just going around telling everyone that Xbox sucks dick...buy a Playstation.

Get off your computer and lose some weight. You'll have faster lap times to throw in everyone's face.
