Always loved your car alex. I lurk on s2ki and it always makes me drool. Fenders are sexy.
:thumbup: |
Re: AS1 S2000, metal widebody, etc, blah blah
Oh man, that sounds annoying imho. Not into the wheel set up, at all. But I can appreciate the time and money spent.

Re: AS1 S2000, metal widebody, etc, blah blah

|
Re: AS1 S2000, metal widebody, etc, blah blah
thats really loud
|
Re: AS1 S2000, metal widebody, etc, blah blah
the car looks terrible. I'm not sure why all of that time and money went into the car just to run that much camber.
I'm glad the car is for sale, it'd be nice to see someone put some functionality back into it. and you drive like a real asshole. |
Re: AS1 S2000, metal widebody, etc, blah blah
love how the car looks especially that exhaust :thumbup:
|
Re: AS1 S2000, metal widebody, etc, blah blah
Yup, that's what straight pipes sound like. It's fun for about 5 mins.
|
Re: AS1 S2000, metal widebody, etc, blah blah
I want to appreciate this style so much, but the rear camber just looks horrible. Yes it is the style you are going for and within that style it seems to be right on par with the others. I guess to each their own.
