xzzy posted:Modifying ride height is a customization as old as cars themselves. Yes some people get silly with it but it's just a result of people trying to distinguish themselves from 100+ years of history. I'm not particularly offended by it at all I just think the people are morons really. I understand lowering for performance ideals sure and I think tarmac spec rally cars look particularly nice but I just don't understand why you would want to lower it to the point that the tyres don't line up with the radius of the wheel arch or look like they don't fit at all.

I love my bagged wagon even though every time I post it here someone asks why, but "because I wanted to" never seems to be a satisfactory answer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do what you want to your car, I really don't care, but it doesn't mean i can't have an opinion about it. I think some mods are dumb, but then again I think some cars in their factory state are dumb to begin with anyway

Some years ago somebody in this (or a previous) thread posted some 70's vintage advertisements featuring a black, L.A based drag racer. One ad was just for car parts, but the other had the racer go something like "Kids, don't street race, go to the drag strip instead". I think he raced a highly modified Shelby GT500 (or Boss 429?). Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about, or is it a figment of my imagination? I tried googling, but that didn't lead anywhere. As thanks, here is a truck I saw in Prague.

DID SOMEONE SAY LOWERED WAGONS, I THINK I HEARD SOMEONE SAY LOWERED WAGONS.  Needs to go lower, but I also need to get unlazy and finish rolling my fenders first.

I'm gonna be lowering my wagon here pretty soon, maybe a half an inch or so just to get rid of the wheel gap. It will also help with reaching poo poo on my roof so that's a plus

Thing is, that's still probably usable on the road at that ride height. What chassis is it on though? You wouldn't be able to get a Disco that low.

Am I the only one that don't like the gap between the wheel and fender to be too overtly uneven?

Elmnt80 posted:DID SOMEONE SAY LOWERED WAGONS, I THINK I HEARD SOMEONE SAY LOWERED WAGONS. Oh god I want a lowered wagon, especially an e30. I just want a jag or barra project more though. There's an e34 wagon advertised in the eastern states for $2k, been there for 6 months, no one wants it because blown head gasket. It would be tempting but it's the other side of the country and if I can't drive back I'm not interested in eastern state cars. Also having an e34 sedan right now, they're just too drat heavy, like ford falcon heavy. Needs more cheap power upgrade options than bmw slants offer for low budgets. If something fits a barra though I'm happy to rip it out my ute and scrap the ute for something different. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 12:50 on May 4, 2018 |

Cage posted:I have wheel gap and I kind of want to fill it with an oversized tire instead of lowering. Chunky offroad style tires on a cheap hatcback would look awesome and it's a thing I've wanted to see, but I don't have a cheap hatchback anymore. Not sure how to deal with the fact that offroad tires on a commute suck.

The chinese tire shops around here have a new tire that would look hilarious on a car.  I would imagine they howl like a bastard, but sacrifices have to be made for style some times

Modus Man posted:I always thought a Dodge Magnum R/T AWD with a 3 to 6 inch lift and oversized all terrain tires would be the perfect Midwest Winter-mobile I did research into this when I had my charger. The front suspension knuckle is shaped such that you can't really upsize the tire more than 0.5" or so. People talked me out of doing the lift, and correctly so given how ratty the car ended up being.

The donk crowd makes stretched knuckles to overcome this flaw. http://www.liftabrand.com/Product/dodge-charger-lift-kit-dodge-lift-kit/magnum-charger-300c-fabricated-extended-charger-platform-spind Only good for RWD cars though.
