Its going to happen often apparently. I mean if they didn't get all fired up and butt hurt cause one car broke an oil pan or one cars fenders were fucked then there wouldn't be an issue. I mean its the same shit as if we went into the race car
/function thread and started to say this or that car needed to be lower or have more negative camber, etc. Hmmm.. Man that could be fun.

Who got fired up or butt hurt? One comment from myself was made. It was let go about 5 posts ago. You're just making it more evident anyone who drives a car setup like this, can only drive the car setup like this. I applaud your skills in avoiding various road hazards. Congratulations... I'll say again, to each his own.

That wouldn't make any sense, you see because this is Tampa Racing, so going into a thread to say "HAHAAHA wtf these cars are gay, they cant park and look good, all they do is goo around a track fast, or make a daliy cars commute more fun thx to suspension mods, instead of harder because your car is .25 inchs off the ground, so you gotta watch out for every sinlge thing.."



Cmon! These cars are nice, but stop attacking everyone that has an opinion on them.


Being happy that your car is unsafely low, and you gotta drive it careful 24/7 is just as cool as people who live in the bad part of the ghetto and are proud of it, because god knows, they gotta be carefull 24/7 to. But just like I give them props for being able to do it, and not die, i give ya'll prop cause i know i could never drive no fucking car 20 under the limit, and going 1mph over a speed bump on a crazy stupid angle, and making everyone driving around you mad, cause it takes you 30 mins to pull into a parking lot.


end rant/

Apparently you missed the point, and contradicted yourself. Good job though.

Except it's the same exact people everytime. We get it, you don't like them, we hear it every 5 pages from you or S60R, so yeah, it gets annoying.

My car is setup 95% function and 5% form; I have just under an inch gap between tire and fender on all 4 corners. My tires are a few millimeters from being flush with my fenders, but my car is setup for more autox and track. My control arms sit parallel to the ground, my camber is not extreme. I take speed bumps at a very slow speed, as in I downshift to first and come to pretty much a stop. I come into and out of driveways very slowly and at an angle; same with going into certain shopping centers. I avoid potholes and bumpy, uneven pavement as well.

I do it 24/7 and the reason I do it is because I care about my car. You're putting extra wear on your suspension pieces when you take speed bumps and go through pot holes and frankly, with coilovers and the majority of the rubber bushings replaced with polyurethane, it is not too fun to hit rough spots in the road. So don't post this shit generalizing that only people that drive their cars carefully are the ones that follow form over function.


Anyway, back on subject; Spreading my love for dubs, in video form:

Your standards suck, you should raise them. A lot.
