Jam3z, you just changed my life with that post.

 

lol basically exactly why i do it. that and i hate when nice wheels are lurking in the shadows of the wheel wells... when i go to the track, it takes all of 10 minutes to get the camber in spec and slap on the track wheels and done. i can have my cake and eat it too.

 

^you can still get a ticket for being too low ( i've gotten one) and also for having your wheels stick out too much therefore your speculation is wrong. Most of the things we do to our cars in general are either illegal for street use or looked down upon anyways, but that doesn't stop anyone modding their cars do they?

 

haha ditto. lol

 

Oh noooo not this crap again!! I don't know why these people keep posting in here!!!! Ur guys opinion don't mean nothing in here......oh I got it...this is Easy if you don't like it don't read or post in here!!!! Gosh ! How hard is that....just cause u come in here giving us ur opinion is not gonna make anyone change the way were doing things in here!..... I'll keep riding low and stretching tires...why?.......cause I love this style that's why I'm part of this thread... u must like it also cause the title of this thread speaks for itself and here you are?....

 

either a part of your car has to be lower than the lowest part of your rim (on 18's i doubt that's going to happen) or your headlights have to be lower than 22". you aren't going to get pulled over for a little pokeage unless you're driving a giant jeep with no mudflaps. technically, your wheels/tires aren't allowed to touch your car and your car isn't allowed to touch the ground during "normal driving". there are so many ways to define "normal driving" it's laughable. you must have been doing something else wrong to get a ticket for being too low or you just have the worst luck and the lowest z in the world.

 

Soooooo.. your telling me having stretch wheels, being low and having lots of negative camber doesn't make my car FASTER!!! .........DAM!!! who lied to me.

 

Our two weeks are up in here already? Someone else comes along and doesn't "get it."?

Most people with OEM/ standard cars don't understand car modding in general so this sub-sub-sub-culture dissent is nothing new.

If everyone understood, we'd have thousands of Z's jammed up at dipped intersections...so I guess there's a positive to the naysayers.

As far as the comments on Californians sticking to aesthetic mods because they have stringent laws out here...I call bs. Go to any big Z meet here. You couldn't throw a rock without it landing on a dozen cars with a vip pass to the state ref.

 

I do what I can.

 

actually people in the midwest rock hellaflush all day and chicago's regulation on engine modifications.. well there is none haha. even if there is it isn't enforced at ALL. you're right it is totally nonfunctional but it looks gangsta

edit

hey jam3z go to zilvia.net and post a thread saying that this trend is stupid and that it'll die soon.. we'll see who flames on who there lol

 

I never said it was stupid. I said it was a trend, just like the rusted hood thing, and the Yakima and Thule roof rack thing and Altezza's from back in the day. If you disagree with me, then thats cool, and time will tell. Don't get it confused though, lowered cars are and will always be cool. I'm just a little unsure about the whole "255's on an 11-wide wheel" thing.

 

funny thing is the guys that "don't get it" created their thread (which the cars look good) where they can rant and rave about how great they are but they end up in this thread more often than not.

 

no i wasn't doing anything, just on my daily commute to school. Cop took a look at my car and pulled me over while we were both making a left turn. You are ignorant to think its not possible even on 18"s cause its even more plausible on 18's with a higher sidewall tire therefore any part of the body can easily be lower than the bottom of the wheel. No point in me arguing with someone like you.

Picture of my ticket

here is a thread on vipstylecars who got a ticket for his wheels sticking out too much

http://www.vipstylecars.com/forums/s...ghlight=ticket

I understand his pokeage was extreme cause he was on bags, but im just stating facts that you can get a ticket for anything by doing things to your car. And no my z is not the lowest, but it was pretty low with some 30 series tires on a previous setup that was almost like rubber bands. Thanks for your ignorance and waste of my time.

 

what you guys expect? this is a forum...its like a guy posting pics of his car and people giving their opinion and the owner not liking the comments posted in the thread. who cares.

 

Lets keep this party going
