Most cars looked horrible.

Have the regulations loosened up? Or is everyone just saying fuck it?

Example, the entire NICE VIBE blog:

It's called a trailer, a daily driver, and some good cunts.

the laws here are prob worse than ever regarding impound/seizure and loss of license but more people have access to trailers these days to get to the track and just more careful about when and where we take our cars out.

mine is prob one of the lamest on there but that still got me in a lot of trouble with police so had to sell up and now just have a stockish r34 sedan for street and a corolla for track work

...well according to the "You're Doing It Wrong" thread it would appear that the anuses are still around. Maybe the other end of the spectrum is just catching up.

My tires should be here today. I have to do my fender work on Wednesday, mount the tires, and install my coilovers/arms. I'm looking for a paint shop in San Diego so I can get my car redone in that OEM pearl-white color. No, I don't know the code (haven't looked) and I refuse to use the dealership name if it sounds something like 'Winter-White-Starlight-Beam'. I'll try to have pictures in here by the weekend.

I'm also trying to score that OEM black-electric-tape striping. So shitty that it's now awesome.

...anyone want to buy my Watanabes? They don't clear my S14 brakes :/

I'm one of those OEM-Nazi guys. I think it's my OCD. Shit is no joke.

I've got R-Types in 16x8.5-6 all around. I'm mounting tires on my Volks this week and if I can sneak some money from my tax returns I want to throw a pair of tires on the Wats and use them out back. Seems like a waste to just keep them in the boxes if no one wants to buy them.

jay70 I've always loved your car. Never knew you were on here. It's one of the main reasons I was interested in Wats on the S13 in the first place.

Nothing about your car is dorisha.

√ Spray painted hood
√ Illest stickers
√ Spray painted poor fitting wheels

Yup "dorisha".

Just because your wheels are smaller then 17's doesn't mean your car fit's this profile. Your car sits more in the "I'm from (-redacted-) and shop exclusively at Zumiez for all my clothes" bucket.

lmao it's all good. it's definitely a work in progress, and getting backed into didn't help.

Z_Spool · 02-18-2015, 04:33 PM

eeehhhhh... it could stand to be lower and a lower offset in the rear. *nitpick*

Kid, go run your mouth somewhere else cause your negative comments are about as useless as dick flavored lollipops. <3

jaysgottaredtop · 02-18-2015, 08:18 PM

Useless? Do you prefer the real thing?

In other news, 60 sidewalls are still huge.

Actually, little haters like you are just adorable... Its too bad though because doing nothing but talking shit about other people and their cars over the internet is the only thing you can actually "contribute"

Go be worthless somewhere else kid.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 02-18-2015, 08:25 PM

Moving on from that kids obnoxious little comments...

Does anyone know of a good 235/60 or 235/55 tire to run? I need to upgrade to a wider rear rim/tire combo and anything over a 225/60r15 seems to be really hard to find now.

derek king · 02-18-2015, 08:34 PM

pretty sure 235/55/15 isnt a size.
Also you know guys are running 1j rb and sr no issues on 195 and 205 tires?

***dorkidori_s13*** · 02-18-2015, 08:39 PM

205s are too skinny for the power numbers I'll be shooting for after a Power FC + injectors + head work. I'm not wanting to roast tires, more interested in keeping as much grip as possible. I don't want to get rid of my SSRs as I spent a good amount of time and money restoring them (giving thought to having them widened to 9") and I love the small wheel look. Just keeps with the old school JDM look and feel that I'm so fond of.

So I'd really like to run wider tires on my wheels and it seems as 15" tires become a dying thing, the optional wider sizes are going with them
