This is all I see  Edit: Seat Safety Switch posted:I was poking around trying to get an idea of what cavity waxes are available in Canada, and stumbled across this thread: What the hell is going on here? Why is this guy going through so much effort to completely tear apart and weld back together this S13? The effort just doesn't make sense to me.

My dad had a triumph spitfire, he still tells the story of when his buddies placed it between two lap posts. Apparently it took a "loving 67 point turn" to get it out.

I dont see much of a big deal about it being a V6 or the wheels, those rivets could've been much more obnoxious. The worst part is the chrome frame on the taillights when he shouldve got matte black to match the wheels and quarter window louvers.

You see them on lifted bro/flatbill trucks all over. At least here in SoCal.

I'd never buy his but I was looking at truck wheels for my mustang ever since I saw this picture:  But I couldnt find one I liked (SO many rivets) or in a proper offset, I didnt want to use spacers.

They're probably Cragar D-windows:  E: Actually, looking at the front one, it looks like it has round holes. So it's probably a Cragar Soft 8:  Neat wheels, available up to 17x9. I plan on getting a set for my Chevelle, once it is worthy of having wheels. Raluek fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Apr 12, 2014 |

It was a pile of poo poo fabricated by a loving retard wielding a stick welder. Stay far away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z68qlNO66zA Properly built? Sure. Needs a good suspension design, obviously a beefed up frame (or just one that wasn't welded together by an idiot) and about 8-12 inches less lift with the fenders cut to actually fit the tires. The way it is? hell no, you want no part of that.

xzzy posted:Kids have no creativity, what you do is pick the car up and move it to a different parking spot. No damage and it freaks the owner out. One time in high school JROTC, during a break from practicing marching in the parking lot, I and a couple of other cadet SGTs decided to gently caress with a cadet MAJ who was a bit of a jerk (and had the class at a different time). We picked up the back end of his Ford Ranger and rolled it across the lot. Our instructors (retired LTC and SGM) didn't stop us, because the enlisted men pulling pranks on the officers is an Army tradition.

There's a guy here on Guam I see rolling around occasionally that has a lift on his CV like the guys who run giant wheels, but instead he has some truck wheels and some 31" or 33" Kelly Safari tires on them. Looks loving hilarious, and every time I see it I feel a bit jealous.

Any good cheap (I realize the two are mostly mutually exclusive) mud tires for 16" wheels? My next set of tires will be stupid. Could probably fit 31s on it, since the cop version is an inch taller than the civvie, and has truck springs.

What diameter is stock? (we should probably take this to the stupid questions or chat thread, but check treadwright.com for your OEM size.) e: 31s for a 16"? This is an MTR knockoff in that size... yes they are retreads, I have heard of two failures in half a decade as an offroader and have been beating the poo poo out of my last set for 30+ thousand miles without any problems. https://www.treadwright.com/individual-product/169/GUARD%20DOG-265-70R16.00-D I have a set of their 235/75R15 Crawlers (BFG MT knockoff basically) on the way, due to be delivered Wednesday. kastein fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Apr 12, 2014 |

 Absolute OUTRAGE. The car PASSES SNIFFER and he gets failed and written up for mods that aren't actually against CARB regs at all... Boost controller is questionable but I'm like 99% sure upgraded intercoolers aren't against the rules

The results are transmitted electronically to the DMV. The smog techs may play it really safe sometimes because if their smog check license gets revoked it's a big deal.

If you're dumb enough to not put in the extra effort, or if you're really lazy, just TALK to the guy first and ask him if he would pass/fail those parts, you deserve the headache.
