Spoon-feed me kouki 180SX aero thread
Spoon-feed me suspension thread
Spoon-feed me 326Power wing info thread

None of which are even in the right spots. Little things.

I feel ya, I appreciate your passion to be honest.

I believe they're talking about Elvis Skender, the founder of StanceNation & maybe Fatlace as well.

[jumpman2334]

the founder of stancenation. it seems as if you either like the guy or you dont.

i find it funny that someone that founded stance nation wont share his wheel specs on his vehicle(s). almost as if no one else has ever done it and he's holding the key all to himself.

That's how all stance tards are. Won't sgmhare body kits or suspension setups cause that one guy 2,000 miles away makmy copy their setup.

[jumpman2334]

not all of them. i would technically be in that boat. i have no problem sharing setups and helping out people whove done the research, but still need some very specific questions answered. shit i even made a guide for IS peeps to help them choose a FUCA because none of the info was available to me when i had to go through it (short spindles and FUCAs are a not very discussed topic when talking about the 1IS world). but i do agree that youre a god damn idiot with a napoleon complexity if you feel the need to keep your setup away from people who ask. its not like youre the first to do it.

on the grumpy topic that im sure to rustle some jimmies:
molgi's drift car he currently has FS belongs in the DIW thread

Oh ok I, for whatever reason I thought Jumpman was talking about some "influencer" because we were on the topic of Elvis. I've seen mogli around on here.

Yeah the shell itself looks clean/straight (sans the pimpin' zebra and million stickers) but it'd take a lot of fab work to rescue that shady looking "tube" front. Shit looks like it was made out of a beach chair.

Def DIW but I think with a some work it can be saved. Hopefully it goes to a good home.

moogli, i forgot an 'O', sorry. this is the specific FS thread im talking about. i understand the car isnt together anymore. but that still doesnt make it any less DIW

https://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=668276

you couldnt pay me to sell it on someone's behalf. the thing is atrocious. sure the fab work may be 'okay'. but there are so many stickers on the windshield, i dont understand how any track would let you run it like that, its a safety issue. see also the tacky AF zebra print, light bar, no hood, hood exit exhaust. i also saw it was a single cam, people put money into those things??

No clue what fatlace is, but Stancenation is a show/blog/social media presence that's been around for a while now. They have a pretty far reach and are pretty influential.

[jumpman2334]

fatlace is like the hype beast of the car world. overpriced crap. i remember i made by GF at the time walk 20+ blocks across SF to see the fatlace store many moons ago before i knew better. i really wanted one of those 'illest' stickers (before i became grumpy and old).

the store was so small and the way they laid out their product was more for show, so they didnt have much and christ was everything expensive. i think i paid like 8-10 bucks for that illest sticker. i still have it in my stash. i cannot bring my self to affix it to anything that i associate with.

[spooled240]

We need all of this in a podcast. Basically a bunch of old, shit-talking gear heads ripping on all the new bullshit out there in the car community.


-Pull up that car really quick. Oh my god what the hell are those things attached to the side of the car with self-tapping wood screws?


-I think those are the fenders


-That can't be, the wheels still stick out at least 5 inches


-But look at how many likes it got. The owner has a YouTube channel also. Every video starts out with 30 seconds of dubstep with some crappy animation before he appears saying, "What's up YouTube, it's your boy ____" The videos are usually 20 minutes long to simply remove his 20x12 Rotiforms off of his "Slammed AF" straight-piped FR-S


The channel will be called "Burnouts by Burntouts" who's in?

Front and rear wheels have to match, no matter the quality or price. There, it had to be said.

[turbo2nr]

Question for you grumpy old men..

what are these rear fender flares called? Ive seen alot of 350z/Gtr's using these recently and thinking about getting a set :


I am a fan I think it would look good on a stock body s-chassis.

[jedi03]

man i feel like my grandpa when i was teaching him how to use a computer (for the 3rd or 4th time lol), I'm to out of touch with all these ridiculous trends...

Yeah it reminds me of Hot Import Nights cars trying to make cars look like MR2's and NSX's by adding nonfunctional scoops and such.



Honestly what bugs me less than people doing stupid things to cars for internet fame is that when anyone comments on an hype article with a legitimate argument against the content in it, it gets jumped on in the same way it does if someone just calls the car stupid or insults the owner. Have you seen the lambo "rally car"? It's not a freakin' rally car, or anything new or "insane". I'm not going to even link it because I refuse to spread it more.

The older I get, the less and less I appreciate non-functional modifications. I've seen so many cars with awesome style that are fully functional vehicles. That's just an opinion of mine of course, but I feel like it's relevant to this thread, hahah.

You'll eventually just want a stock Corvette with Magna flow exhaust and Z06 wheels on Nittos.

You'll throw on a baseball cap to keep the sun off your balding head. A loose fit polo because it's soft and doesn't wrinkle and finally a pair of comfortable New Ballance sneakers because your knees and feet hurt all the time.

[lunchmeat]

That hits too close.

On a more on topic note. I’ve always hated front over fenders for the vents and have never seen any super wide overs that follow oem lines with no vents. Btw this isn’t a change of heart since I’ve gotten older, it’s something I’ve always disliked.

6th time? That’s generous...

It’s nothing more than 9k racing parting out cars and drop shipping parts from a turn14 account.
