A thought on "stance"

[Thizzelle]

I'm 23 and I don't understand Dubstep either.

I'm 29 I get Dub-Step. It's just another type of electronic music but if you really don't want to understand something check out happy hardcore music WTF there.

Happy hardcore is just regular music sped up, lol. I pretty much wholly refuse to accept dubstep as "music" as it's more or less a collection of the most obnoxious noises one can make from an apple computer. It lacks any musical progression or theory.

exactly! retarded.
depends on what song your listening to, Dub-step is just energy music usually makes me want to drive fast and break shit.

Dubstep just makes my head hurt. If you want to break shit just listen to metal.

I'm a fan of "stanced" cars. However, cleanliness > ride height/fitment. I can't stand the Honda guys who just slam their beat to shit cars on stock wheels and claim to be stanced. It might be somewhat hypocritical of me considering I'm rolling around on some tight b-caps but, I'm saving for a nice set of wheels and I have my GC's spun all the way up while I am on the bcaps.

I love the side topic of "How does Dubstep make you feel?" LOL

Lambo, I like your car on bcaps. I hope you are saving for something uncommon and refreshing to look at.

Top wheels on my list are polished Gotti J55A's or J55C's. Not too common on E30's :D

Oooh niice. Are you going with adapters or a 5 lug swap?

Adapters definitely. Most of the Gotti's I've seen for sale recently have had offsets of 25-35ish so they're definitely adapter friendly. I'm hoping for 16x9 square or a 16x7.5-8/9-9.5 staggered setup.

How the hell does this look good?

6 Degrees of Negative rear camber is all the rage. I'd rather destroy tires than have my car look normal

Close to decent, too low in the front, tires too damn small

lol im with James' comments on those theads...there are guys who can push the limits and make it look good. See VIP cars and crazy silvia drifters but 16x10 on a civic/golf is just

Back in the day if you had a staggered setup on a honda you would get laughed at...Now its cool, REALLY dont get it

I don't care what you say about the first e46, the work that went into those arches is amazing. I respect effort into something someone loves.

Most of the people that post on there buy a shitty worn car, 3k wheels and air ride, cut springs or cheap coilovers...then call it a day.

I never judge a car by the paint, that is expensive and most people cannot afford it or have their car done for the job.

I personally have bad paint, rolled fenders and wide wheels WITH proper sized tires. While serving function AND form, it can be pulled off. I really hate mexi-poke, but if the body is made wide and they fit I see nothing wrong with it.

Your MT1 is perfect daily ride height, if it was a weekend garage queen it would look ten times better a bit lower with some vintage proper BBS RS. Now you can say I am wrong etc. That is what the amazing thing about cars...they are personal and reflect the owners style.

VIP, Hotrod, Ratrod, vintage, classic, stock fresh showroom, bagged, race the list goes on. I respect ALL of it when the owners do it properly. You cannot live life and enjoy only a few things, I love seeing the CRAZY VIP style and the slow insane rolling they do. I would never EVER in my life think of doing that, but I respect the effort and passion each scene/following offers.

@OP
Lowered, Stanced, slammed, VIP, Ratrod, Hotrod...never going to go away. Best it yet to come!

Current favorite thing to see, chopped and lowered sport bikes, saw a Ducati today that was riding 2" off the ground...BLEW my mind. Naked frame, chopped and all black.

[lambo]

This is the shit I don't like...

Yea mate, you on the shore aswell?

Well when i first put on my steelies i was in such a rush to fix the tire rubbing i use the 'fuck it' method and rolled and pulled with a set of pliers. Result = terrible but driveable. Anyway today i stripped back one guard where the damage was so i could get a better look at it. While stripping one guard i found that it had filler in it :mad so may end up taking as much filler out and try my hands at shaping the guards, filler and colour match as best i can. Pics are below





Will update as much as i can.

rolling and pulling your fenders with pliers??? WTF???

[Genkboy8o8]

I saw this thread and well... I have a need to put in my .02 cents...

It's really unfortunate that people judge each other on how to modify their cars when in reality, it shouldn't matter what other people think. It should only matter to yourself, and yourself only. I mean honestly, this seems like its getting as worse as racism. I just wish that everyone else can be more like my personal group of friends... we all have different cars, different views on 'stance', VIP, SCCA prepped, Drag type of cars, but we all come together and rarely have any disagreements with each other. I mean, we're literally together because we all have ONE thing in common, and that is the love for cars.

And for my defense of being 'stance'... Yes, I'm very low to the ground... improper tire size for example my 205/50's on a 9.5 in the rear with negative camber at which I have no idea I have because I've never gotten alignment, and offset that brings the lip of my rim right on the fenders.. But I do have AST 4100's, quality suspension with a very good spring rate combo, and fenders are rolled so there is absolutely no rubbing. I've gotten comments from typical 'stance' guys as you call it like "Damn, your car is stanced out perfectly". Haha, but there are other times when my friends and I go for a spirited run on the mountain... and yes, my car CAN handle. Outperforms a SCCA prepped Toyota MR-S, and he's a better driver than I am. I could make my car perform better, by raising it or something, but then I would not like the way it looks. I built my car they way I want, and the way I want it to look, with nobody else's advice, and it should be the same for you guys.

Again just my 0.02 cents. You can say all you want, but my views are strong, and nobody can tell me what to do, or how to do it.

I'll just leave this here.
