The point of the stance camber shit is supposed to be primarily to fit extremely wide wheels under your car which produces a "fitment". This is an extreme example but look at the following, then imagine it at about 30 degrees of negative camber and some less offset.

I also believe that Japan has funny laws about tire sizes on vehicles which require you to keep a certain size of tire on your vehicle thus tire stretching is pretty much a requirement over there which we followed with as a style.

stretching started in some EU country (germany, I think) which has a law that states that the tread on your tires can't extend past your fenders so people started stretching tires to violate the spirit of the law without violating the letter. it didn't come from japan
[QUOTE=Stiveno;48206465]For drift cars front camber is extremely beneficial, at full steering lock your wheels will have a good contact patch if you have alot of negative camber. Camber also lets you have a ton of steering angle and fit super wide awesome wheels.
And lastly there is obviously a point where it makes the car shittier, and that is because people are into that look.
tldr:
Good

Wow didn't know posting a cool car would piss everyone off so much.
Also in the above post there is about a 1" height difference between boring and nice, both of which are fairly boring. No lip, no offset, wheel gap. I'm fallin asleep here!
Best option is 'nonono'.
Here's some Volk-fest

volk te37's are fine, I just think wheels above 19" on most cars look like crap
There is blood coming out of my eyes please stop
You say its good for drift cars, okay. I will now accept them on drift cars. That is all. Cars that race sideways. Not cars that race straight, not cars that fancy themselves "street racers", certainly not some teenagers civic.
The way I see hellaflush; If it's a style you'll outgrow by the time you're 25 then that's a good indicator it is questionable or awful taste.
I dunno.. I'm 25 and still enjoy it.

No, no.. def 25 in human years. Sorry T-maxx, I've been pretty busy doing autistic things other than having close calls on my motorcycle and getting banned. Once you start it's hard to stop.
My autisms bought me an NSX.. anything that you have to show for it?

Tasteful. At least the wheels and fenders bit. I'll keep my mouth shut on the stickers.
yeah the stickers and the single taped headlight are pretty dumb. I'm not into tan tops on miatas either

Last I checked. Not sure I totally understand that one, this isn't GMF so we don't have to be vague and snarky, you can come right out and say whatever it is you need to.

Stop creating unnecessary drama here. Grade A shitpost. People have different opinions on vehicles and can do whatever the hell they want to their own.
The law has arrived, back on topic!
The A/c compressor in the Corollabortion was making a godawful lot of racket the last couple days, clutch dragging again, bearing rattling, etc.. it was time to go. Corollas with no a/c just use a shorter belt, and a NAPA stocked one at that. One shorter belt and the A/C is deleted!
instead of just going lol don't need that why don't you fix the problem

?????????????
I'm not the one who was fucking posting shit just to rile people up.
Whatever, fuck you guys and your circle jerk.
Rockauto got me all the parts I needed sub 300 bux, which totaled about 250 260-ish.
Drier, compressor, evaporator, expansion valve, o-ring kit, and schrader valves. Hoses are good and the 2 cans of R134A cost 50 bux, but I considering not counting that bit.
In any case, the Corollabortion's A/C compressor can't be THAT expensive. Mine frome Vatozone cost 236 bux WITH core, closing in sharply on 300 bux with out a core.
