what? too many letters ya sound like your tryin to be a jap feckin philosofiser or sumthin!
that video is amazing, great editing and good sound track....
the cars are in there own class, regardless of weather there dailys or show cars, they all look amazing!!! i have got wheels from japan and the U.S and i have never waited the duration of 6months, NEVER. the longest i waited was 8 weeks and it was worth it cause ya get what ya pay for.
see that kinda of culture over her im afraid will never happen!!! i would love to see it happen..
Great point....they`re not. I remember you tried shifting your SSR professors with no luck. I must admit I was shocked as they`re arguably the best 5 spoke wheel made in japan along with meisters and the lmgt4.Quote:

I had a set of forged 3 piece splits (et+12) 9J and 11J with new bridgestones and I got them for €850!!!! There out there if you open your eyes!

I agree with your point of making them fit as thats what a lot of the cars in that video did, roll and flare and negative camber+stretch until they fit.
I think there`s a growing trend in Ireland almost worthy of the title IDM, whereby...
-you buy an s13/s14
-fit a hovercraft kit (a fake URAS copy of course)
-fit rota torques/gtr (normally white for some reason)
-put stickers on at crooked angles
-engine mods consisting of FMIC+catch tank and bee-r limiter with no remap
-big gay wing
-dildo gear knob
-paint some part of it with luminous paint
-use tie wraps as visual enhancement
and then call it a "drift spec" car.
I`ve yet to see someone in Ireland fit the Supermade instant gentleman kit which is a mystery as it`s proabably the best kit you can get for it.
^^^^^^paddy speccers! haha^^^^^
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.Quote:

People would be afraid to put one on cars here because you need a full package to pull off a Supermade kit, wheels, ride height etc.
I wouldn't agree that JDM follow USDM when the VIP scene in Japan has been doing the low offset, flush fit, stretched tire look for years.
The VW guys have been doing it possibly longer but its now becoming more main stream due to the Fat Lace crew really pushing it with vids like that.
dude, your speaking the truth!!! ( i have the fake uras kit and had rota d1s on it haha)Quote:

carpo should look into putting a few on his container as they would sell in no time at all!
