100mm event - 27/4/13

So rather then show these so called young people that you accept the cheap route, why not point them in the right direction?

Age is just an excuse for being cheap, ive said that many times. I guess ist true, Taste can not be bought.



shut up you unsupportive cunt.

In saying that, have you read any of the articles on the homepage? Most of them are great reads, not trying to force you or anything, as I agree with you 100%... But you already know that <3

I still have your wheel lol. want me to just fix it? haha

Thats something that we will now aim to do, It makes complete sense, why write about and as nej said "feature" an image of a replica wheel, as it'll only encourage others to do the same.. we at the end of the day are just two guys, who wanted a place to upload photo's to, it's grown, we now have small audience, and why not educate that audience the right way and as you've said point them in the right direction. However we wont just jump all over them and put them so far down that they will feel like crap..

I personally encourage all my mates and all those whom I meet to go genuine, to buy the more expensive parts, the original pieces rather than the cheap alternative, I just wish I had someone like that for me, so I didnt make the mistake of buying Rota Grids when i did...

taste cannot be bought, but it can be changed and altered.

Im still 20 and am rolling on genuine RS' s that came out as an option on some early GTRs, I even have a set of gwnuine group a turbos to go on it. They were hard enough to find.
I worked my ass off 6 days a week for a year straight to get it where it is.
I went through days wheree all I had left was $20 and the choice was lunch, fuel or ciggarettes.
Im going through it all again to bring the car back better than ever. Anyone can afford anything. It just depends on how bad you want it.

All the parts on my car ARE genuine besides the head unit i.e. it's a kenwood and not a Nissan/sony unit.. but im working on that and yes even the B wave You are right, anyone can afford anything, but some people who aren't taken under the wing of the right people, or hasn't been given the knowledge will buy them because they want things now, and that's our society though, we want everything yesterday. Also on a side note, not that i totally stalk you or anything, but i guess that's why I havent seen your skyline the past couple of weeks when I go past your workplace... I courier in either my brothers stock s13 or mine lol...



Also I dont know if you guys have seen it or not, but here's a snippet from my video im doing on 100mm Certified, https://vimeo.com/65454613 the last two "twitches" were too much so theyve been removed since, and ive cleaned up a little on the effects. I really liked 1080p's video, it wasnt as flashy as I thought it could have been, but it was still cinematic, just the transitions into the flash mob scenes where a little awkward.. What did you guys think?

But why do people need to have their hands held? Why cant people make the decisions for themselves? Your small audience read your blog for whatever reason, and they will read what you write, you arent forcing anything down their throats, I dont get how that would make them feel bad?

You make out as if there is a full generational gap, like 40 years between us and yourselves... We are all of similar ages, but more then that, most of us have the same mindset.

I had genuine RS's when I was eighteen.

Not hard to work your ass off for the legit stuff instead of just buying the fake shit.
Might as well work an extra couple of days/weeks/months to be able to afford the real stuff.

Sure, not everyone is on the same wage and what not, therefore just save a bit longer.
In the end, you're going to end up paying the same amount for fakes as you are the real ones, fakes will crack, bend and maybe even break, so you'll need to replace them. After that, you'll need to buy another set. By then, you could have bought one set of real ones.

It's like people running fake stickers. That pisses me off to no end. I can understand buying fake wheels when you're starting out and shit, but buying fake stickers, seriously, who the fuck does that?

lol they're a different type of person, they actually don't care at all and think rep's are the end all of arguments and that they do the same thing and look the same so im going to be a dick a put some te37 stickers on them lol.. I had guys telling me to do that back 12 months ago when i had rota's on, I pretty much told him that I dont want to be some cockhead wearing a chev badge of a commo as it's the same thing.

[Oxer]

But doesnt your mate mina with the black supra do exactly that? tesl stickers on rep wheels, pretty sure you actually commented on how good his car looked too...

Yeah I've read some of them, some are cool but honestly it's just not my style (for the most part). I get the feeling a lot of people do a photoshoot, then sit down at their computer that night or whenever they write the story and think to themselves "how can I make this sound a million times more meaningful than it actually is". A lot of these blogs could condense their articles to half or a quarter of the size. My fav blogs for writing style are MotoIQ and The Chronicles, as they're just mainly the facts with a bit of humour, not taking themselves too seriously.

Re: my wheel. I'll pick it up from you one day haha, gives me an excuse to get the datto out and come past and see what you've been working on.

[mohsen]

We don't support replica's.. we never have hailed anybody king for choosing rota's or xxr's. Sure we'll take photo's of peoples cars which will have them on there, but that's because we're bringing content... we're also around the younger generation and so most opt to buy cheap shit like that, even i did, but most of us have all been there, im sure some of you would have used armorall at one stage, rocked replica's or even have bought some other cheap crap off of ebay. We live and we learn..




Really awesome clip Rowan, nice and clean edit, loved the transitions and "twitching" really worked in your favour.
