yeah the good ol days of just ripping around all day. that was a setup outside of a friend.s parent.s business. hence the helmet. they had a house right around the corner and we had a setup in the garage. then out at their house there was a concrete slab out by the barn we had ramps on. i had a spine out at my house but it didnt get rode as much as the others.

nice. you getting that icecream paintjob?

Daaammn free paintjob! Thats whats up!

 

Go GABE!

 

I voted for you. :p

 

Thanks Doggie.

 

please tell me that was all a joke in the other thread..

 

Yeah it was. I was browsing my pics and came across that one and I wanted to mess with him for kicks. He's just a modern day ricer. It's all about bragging rights with him. Who's the lowest, hellaflush, pushing things to the extreme,etc. I mean just look at the wheel sizing he's going with. 16x12 in the back and 16x10 in the front.

Those cats get delusional, he said my car is at a functional drop... A functional drop has no tire tuck. It looses the sense of the meaning when you start tucking tire on wheels/tires like mine. Its not functional to the true sense of the word because The suspension geometry is pretty far from optimum range of travel for the street. Not to mention overcoming most tarmac inconsistencies at that height isn't always possible. It doesn't take a very big bump to bottom out at that height. Its functional yeah but there are limitations and sacrifices, if its not mostly functional dont call it. Its sorta borderline and not really a fact but thats just what I think. Functional is a relative term but there are factors that need to be considered for it to br a true functional drop. For looks its pretty functional but for daily driving it will prove to be uncomfortable, very noticeable and prone to chassis damage. Overall, its not fully functional. At that stage I would call it tucked . I don't mean to be so technical but it's a technical subject lol.

 

i wouldnt say you are being technical. i would say you are being opinionated.


so since i tuck some tire my hatch isnt functional? it is just tucked? what defines a tucked ride height compared to a functional ride height? the eye of the beholder? what is functional? is functional driving down the street to get some ice cream? i mean every car has to drive to get to a different location. so isnt driving a function? or is functional tracking your car? but if you dont track your car but have a "fender gap" are you functional or are you on that "grandma status"? i just dont understand these "titles" because they are all opinions. i dont see any guidelines written anywhere that state specific ride height references. i guess it was hondatech/forums job to do such a silly thing.

 

Psh, Im dumped yo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont really care, just thought I would have fun with the situation at hand. Felliphe, surprising me over there on the other thread doggie (gabus term )

 

Well the names are for descriptive purposes. e.g "How low/high are you riding now?"

Like I said, that applies for street on wheel sizing like mine. Your car is a track car, its functional to be low. For track use the only real limitation is bottoming out and how aggressively you can tackle the kerbs. Its very functional to be low. All the benefits are there and the drawbacks are different. Now if you drive to work everyday with that same height its no longer fully/mostly functional (unless you commute through rainbow road in which case the road surface has no imperfections lol). Functional is relative to use. A show car can be touching frame and its functional if thats the look the owner is going for. Some cars look retarded to the eye of the beholder even if they are a show only car because its not a look they like. The ride height of a show car is purely based on opinion of what looks good. The ride height of a track car is on the other hand purely for performance with no regards to aesthetics. The ride height of a street car is the best compromise between a lot more factors such as cost, comfort, looks,etc.

"The lower it is the better it looks" can be said to be true and false, it all depends who you ask. If I could lower my car solely based on looks with no sacrifice in performance it would be tucking just a little bit of tire.

 

Holy wheel weights batman!

 

I'm slammed on Photoshop.

 

Looks like a Mexican Restaurant in the backround lol

 

Good eye sir. It's my favorite one in town. La Hacienda.

 

^^My fav in town is called La Feria. They are actually a huge mexican family that moved here because on of their brothers or whatever lived here. They started up a resturante and its good as hell. My girl likes the huge margaritas there, I like when she drinks em too. :p


Functional drop? Hmmm...
