Cuscus sway bars are good because if you get hungry you can just eat them.

Apparently I'm a super hater according to brandontopaz aka topazbrandon aka topazdrifter aka driftingbrandon aka topazingdrifterbranflakes (that guy who had a poll for his user name).

At least the other guy that commented gets it.

When any of these idiots can explain to me how that front fitment is necessary and functional, and why they shouldn't just trim the fenders and make it full on open wheel instead of mostly, I will apologize and admit that I'm wrong. Until then, I maintain the stance (pardon the pun) that it is non-functional garbage that serves no purpose other than to get e-points from trendy idiots and to be owned by someone who is either too poor or too lazy to put flares on the front.

Also, I find it highly amusing from a glance that none of those stickers on the car appear to be from known Miata tuning houses or companies that are known to specialize in aftermarket Miata parts. I wonder why that is, lol.

Wait. You really don't know why the wheels are out of the fenders that far?

Uhhh THIS!

You do realize that the setup is extremely functional for its purpose, right? It just looks dumb af

[Yardjass]

Honestly, no, but then again, I don't really follow drifting retardation. I'm assuming it makes the vehicle tend more towards oversteer (and destroys the wheel bearings and fucks up what the suspension geometry was designed for but that's a whole other point) so that's their rationale for using it but by all means, enlighten me. Regardless, it looks like a good way to slice your tires on a fender or get you some nice bacon fenders so I am sticking to my stance that it is completely fucking retarded, and even if they run it, it should either be open wheel, or covered with a fender.

[OBEEWON]

It wasn't functional this weekend.

Proof that angle and power have ruined drifting.

Kei Miura clearly has a substance abuse issue. How have his close friends not staged an intervention??

[Mister.E]

Thanks for ruining my day Obee. I had completely forgotten about the "Boss FD"

[AKsamuraiS14]

I can understand and agree powers car was nice when it was green. but do you guys think that was his choice to change the car to what it is now? im sure his sponsors has a team of designers(horrible ones) and they designed that car to todays American drifting market. Im sure he hardly spent a penny on that car and all he has to do is drive it. I, myself and most of you guys that drive or use to drive that if any major sponsor built you a car and paid you to travel and drive but the car was ugly as shit, you would still be out there in the car driving your hearts out. Being a driver, you would take any opportunity to get yourself out there no matter what the car looks like, and im talking from a professional stand point, not these busted "missle" cars. I can understand Final Bout is all about the Japanese style, and I respect that 100% but I feel like having some pro drivers out there might take some drivers driving to the next level. When I was driving and competing, some of my best driving was with pro/great drivers.

Holy shit the suspension theories you have here are hilarious

Yeah, okay buddy. I mentioned suspension once in that entire response and hardly talked about it. Please tell me more about these "theories" I have though.

I feel like this isn't being understood. I'm not bashing the wider front track or anything about the suspension. I'm bashing where the fender is compared to the wheel and tire, which can be altered without altering any of that other stuff.

He no longer drives pro though so at least he could lower the car and remove the zebra vomit.

Never forget. It's our only defense.

This is exactly why I don't attempt to drift competitively or professionally. My car is an expression of myself and I want complete creative freedom over that canvas. I will NEVER let someone design my car for me. Driving in Final Bout is my only major goal, FD is dog shit and means nothing to me. If pro drivers want to attend FB then bring a car that doesn't look like a bag of dicks; it's that simple. A lot of the driving in Final bout is already "next level." Will pro drivers attending boost their level even higher?

Haven't heard the whole 'self-expression-on-a-blank-canvas' thing in a while. Thanks for that, Takumi.


Has anyone pointed out the obvious yet? Why aren't all the D1GP cars running excessive front track? Why can they drift in the rain without turning the course into a junkyard?

Final Bout turning down the trio of ugly fucking cars isn't just an internet publicity stunt. It's pretty awesome that whoever is making the decisions is sticking to their guns. If Mike Whiddettetlydoo asked Final Bout if he could attend I'm pretty sure they'd say no. I'm happy that 'famous' people don't get a pass just because they're 'famous.'

Hey everyone, shut the fuck up. FDs ghay. We all know this.

No one gives a shit about your feelings, the culture is fucked. Just keep doing what you want and post pics of shitty cars here. This is a thread to make fun of the bullshit, not get caught up in it like a bunch of tryhards.

Actually fuck it I hate you ppl do whatever you want
