Well EEN and I washed out cars today and decided to take some videos and photos. The batteries were dead in the video camera so we just took photos but hopefully we will have video next week.

Here are some shots of the Tanabe Brothers around town.

Both cars are SCREAMING rims and kit btw

Otherwise looking good.

The mudflaps come off when we install the Teins.

Teins are next week, rims are the week after that.

And kit is a long ways off. Saving for Turbo after NOPI Nationals. We run these cars at the track. We aren't too worried about looking fast until they can actually go fast.

I dont know why you'd run them on the track when they're basically stock....but thats just me.

 
Rep Power: 413

I've had the car for less than a year......and did you not read the words that said "TURBO" like how you missed my comment that the mudflaps are going to be removed?

 
Rep Power: 380

Actually, Tristan, I did not miss the word "TURBO" the way I did not miss the thing about the mudflaps.

Now, if you would read my post, I stated that...."I dont know why you'd run them on the track when they're basically stock."

In there, I have implied that you are, in fact, running them on the track now. Are you blown yet? Nope. So, my post does hold some validity.

And since when does a car have to be fully track ready to have fun running against friends. It's much safer than doing it on the streets like how most other members of the site do. Don't even lie to me and act like you have never raced your car against someone else. It's "basically stock". So why are you so much better than me running my car in a safe environment?

 
Rep Power: 380

I never said it had to be. In your first reply, the way you made it sound was that your car was to be a) full track or b) full show.


I wasn't planning on lying to you. I think its fun to race. Its also fun to look good too.

Yes, I know my car is basically stock. I never said otherwise. Did I ever say I was better than you? I don't believe so. And congrats for being safe. I probably would too if my area had a place to drag at.

edit for typo

Then why do I still feel like I'm getting the third degree from you about my car?

I didn't say it was done, I didn't say it was either all go or show, I just wanted to post some pics or our cars around town.

I wasn't asking for opinions about what to do next to my car. I know what I have planned for my car. I'm not about to have someone else make my decisions for me.

 
Rep Power: 380

Thats great. And what do you mean about the "third degree?" I don't mean to sound stupid, but I've never heard that term before.

Also, you post pics, you're going to get some feedback. It happens.

Don't get me wrong, your car looks good. Just sharing my thoughts. Didn't think people would get so freaking defensive about some positive feedback =/

 
Rep Power: 413

Well you and I must have different definitions about positive feedback.....lol

Lets move on and let some others get their shots in.....lol

Rep Power: 413

Dude, settle down. The hubs will be gone in a couple of weeks.

They are full Tein SS damper kit and everything.

When I chuck cash, I go for only the best.

i hear ya, i'm buyin big name stuff myself. and i'm still rollin on my stock hubbies, nothing wrong with that. But after i get my tint, my 18' formula 5 Roja's will be on. and since you and me both are going toward show, big name stuff looks better.

Those pictures remind me and brother's car. He has the silver and I have the red. He has more mods than I do. I just thought I should share that.

 
Rep Power: 320

No offence, I know you love them, but I really dont like those UK taillights.

Your car is looking good otherwise, cant wait to see the teins and rims. I should have my Tein SS around the end of the month, early august. Post pics when you do.

 
Rep Power: 401

i dont like the way everyone cries about getting rims, whenever someone posts a pic of their car and it has hubs the first reply is "get rims!". whats the big deal, i'd rather save up for a turbo than waste it on a fashion over function item. when i get a turbo imma change the tires but keep the hubs just to listen to people complain! lol.

[Happy Gilmore voice]Somebody's lower[/Happy Gilmore voice]

 
Rep Power: 413

Exactly. I'm just getting a cheap set of RS limited concept pros before NOPI so that I dont roll up there on hubs. But after that I'm gonna sell them and put that money back into my turbo fund.

 
Rep Power: 413

I was wondering when someone was gonna notice. We can't figure it out. Both of our cars' suspensions are stock for now, but mine sits a good inch to 2 inches lower than his car. Wierd huh?

good deal a tour to nopi !!

Ya know, I thought yours looked lower also but I thought it was just the angle of the camera...Do you have subs or anything in your trunk? That might do it, but i dunno.

 
Rep Power: 374

Looks good. Makes me miss my red coupe.

 
Rep Power: 413

I do have one 12inch solobaric(50lbs at most) in the trunk. But my car is lower all the way around. Not just in the trunk.
