I absolutely love the JapCrap 1JZ Caddy [img]http://cdn.speedhunters.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Driftbash-Caddy-Rod-Chong-9686.jpg[/img] Saw it last week at a drifting competition as one of the cars drifting during the breaks (among some gt86's and a volvo 945, which was the best one of all). I got some pictures of it and my brother talked to the owner and he seemed really nice c: [editline]24th May 2013[/editline] [IMG]http://cdn.speedhunters.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/1JZ-Caddy-Rod-Chong-86041.jpg[/IMG] Those rims, hng
That caddy is such a dreamboat. A dreamboat from hell.
I feel that the overly slammed cars with fucked up camber are really shitty looking (Example:) [img]http://i.imgur.com/x3W6dpx.png[/img] I'm way more into those: [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbzoekcEm01qet67oo1_500.jpg[/img] Little to no camber but still nice and low.

It's literally impossible to own a lowered car where i live, speed humps EVERYWHERE.
[QUOTE=Kirrimir;40776743]It's literally impossible to own a lowered car where i live, speed humps EVERYWHERE.[/QUOTE] That just depends how low you make it. Anything lower than stock is a lowered car, you know
[QUOTE=Ldesu;40778322]That just depends how low you make it. Anything lower than stock is a lowered car, you know[/QUOTE]Where I live, if you have it lowered by an inch (maybe ½ an inch) and you go 5-10mph you will fuck up your exhaust.

[QUOTE=Kirrimir;40776743]It's literally impossible to own a lowered car where i live, speed humps EVERYWHERE.[/QUOTE] Angle technique. I have to slow down in intersections in a lot of places around here due to storm drain dips. Also, sparking on the freeway is fun!
I go by the moccasin rule, my loafer is how much clearance I should have, the credit card is not my way of going around town. Still, you take a nice clean car and make it stand wide for a shot and it's worth it.

I'm a boring motherfucker, since all my cars were kept at stock ride height. I like the ability to ramp speedbumps without belly flopping my stationwagon.
What!? Some one said station wagon??? YOU HAVE SUMMONED MEE??!!?! Well now that the "new thread" smell is gone I shall post my wet dreams.

[QUOTE=DPKiller;40786956]What!? Some one said station wagon???[/QUOTE] The handling and almost the same size of a sedan, except it's actually useful for hauling.
Here the car has to be a coke can off the ground (Same height as the legal requirement) to be able to be roadworthy.

Can't say I like the Merc's with those rims and height, but the BMW's look pretty composed. The white one's p. nice.

I like how the "stance" thing basically boils down to expensive wheels and custom air-ride suspension that combined costs just as much as the car itself. My impression of them: [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/emot-jerkbag1.gif[/IMG]

I have a nick on my oil pan, a few gouges in my exhaust, dents in my shock towers, torn to fuck fender liners and scrape whenever I turn hard. Do I count lol? I'm still 5-5.5" from the ground at the jack points though lol..
