almost flush? next year

[midnightfxgt]

What makes this Good:


And this bad:


Flush is flush... have to run unsafe and stupid camber to fit wheels doesn't make sense to me.

I like the look of flush... and that it's functional, but these are not flush.

well the miata's wheels do fit in the fender and the only point showing is the stretch.. the subi the top of the wheel is not even close to being inside the fender.. plus miatas can pull off that large fat tire for some reason.. subis not so much. "IMO"

[midnightfxgt]

Will - You so crazy... those wheels on the Miata don't fit inside at all... they are outside the fender lol. I don;t know about the front, but the rear anyways.

No one can explain why they run an unsafe setup, other than it looks cool lol.

-John

[Kappa]

LOL no man i mean the tread on the top of the tire is inside the fender.. but i am crazy... just a little?

[n00bMeiSter]

Yeah, with the miata and subi, it's not hellaflush, that's stretch & poke.

Meanwhile back in normal town

[midnightfxgt]

From 30ft away, you can see the hood fits poorly, and the fender flares look like cheap add-ons.... but hey, he fit some wheels that were not supposed to fit!!!! lol

[Kappa]

lol he did that to his hood... its called hood rake? i think or something like that

[n00bMeiSter]

I think the fender flares are supposed to look like that.
The hood doesn't look that bad in the pic, but it def could be fixed.

[GWN]

The flares are actually pretty expensive as well lol, well over a grand painted and installed (according to my research which may or may not be accurate), but they are supposed to stand out as bolt on pieces, part of the look he was going for

[Kappa]

MFC has always been more on the crazy side

[Mr Wilson]

I've seen the hood like that on other cars, any reason behind it? initially cooling but now appearance?

[AlphaMotorsports.ca]

Hardly consider it destroyed lol. It's something he knew he'd have to deal with, and he made the choice to deal with it so he could roll proper.

And I have yet to see someone driving a slammed car hold up traffic and being a hazard to other drivers on the road because of how low they are. If we make a mistake in choice of route, we suck it up and deal with the scrapes / damage, just because we drive slammed doesn't mean we forget the laws. I guess moral of my story is, local pics or it didn't happen.

It's actually illegal to rub, just saying. Illegal in the sense, the car is no longer 'roadworthy'

[Kappa]

i dont really know but i believe it started as a thing in japan or even the honda scene when you needed to fit a bigger motor but didnt want to cut the hood... or something like that... im prob way off

[Mr Wilson]

Makes sense, cheers kappa.

[GWN]

It's actually illegal to rub, just saying. Illegal in the sense, the car is no longer 'roadworthy'

I was more referring to basic driving laws like stopping in the middle of the road for bumps, etc. but yes this is true. Many of the things we all do to our cars on here is classified as "illegal" in the same sense; tints, smoked lights, even eyelids are illegal lol

[midnightfxgt]

Yeah, the hood thing was started for function. If it's done for no reason... fail.

Rubbing is illegal, and so is camber. Back in the Darknights days they used to tow a lot of people for excessive camber wear.

I recently read that the flares for that car were found in a shop for a different car entirely (no one knew what) and are 1 of 1.
