Mods you "****" for dumb reasons

[wheelfetish]

Another thing I **** is single tip exhausts on german cars that are suppose to have dual tips. Kinda bugs me.

[Kielan]

**** it. The only cars I think that can pull off that exhaust are evos or wrx/sti

This.

I much prefer the look of a stock looking exhaust.

[wheelfetish]

I actually quite like these fart cannon tips.

And if you drift, you can get away with shit like a brightly colored wide body with ridiculous overfenders (safety reason so there isn't too much poke and come and contact with something and cause an accident etc).

Or a bright red tow hook coming out the front (to make tow hook visible). And toys hanging out off your rear tow hook (to mark out rear tow hook).

**** it. The only cars I think that can pull off that exhaust are evos or wrx/sti

Ohhhhhh.. yeah, just remembered a big one, I don't **** this one, just rofl at them.

When people hack their regular wipers to run a mono wiper..



Well, you diminish the wiping area but that's okay because you at least have a wiper of some form, SHAVED wiper is just plain dangerous.



especially if you live in the PNW.

pillar denting is going on my to do list

I don't think you realize that tons of cars have the separate rear struts and springs..

Coilovers by definition are actually just the adjustable springs that go OVER the strut. Hence coil OVER. They are full coilover systems in my opinion, because up front it is a full coilover and in the rear, it is separated because that is how the car is designed, aftermarket companies have no choice but to follow how the car is designed... So really they are full coilover system in regards to FK's that you mentioned, same as the StanceWorks/AST coilovers that they had made... In regards to Ground Control those are actually called coilover sleeves, and can go right over the strut in most cases. So really they too are "full" coilover setups.. Which really annuls your argument.

Yeah, I meant coilover should be used to strictly describe the geometry. But "coilover" has been used to cover all adjustable suspension setups like "Kleenex" used to describe all house hold use tissues. Lol.

he knows. he has a 190e, springs and struts are seperate on them. he just enjoys typing stuff from what i can tell on here and 190rev haha. and people dont have overfenders because of safety, drift cars just need to look crazy cuz why else would you drive around burning tires? its a looks game

Yeah, I've been looking up "catalog coilovers" for many different cars because I was considering switching cars. But I realized that all cars need modifications to the suspension system/chassis to run the suspension system I had in mind.

I've been since been reading all the stuff on Rev about what people found about coilovers. I'm willing to cut through my chassis and drill out holes to be bigger to fit in adjustable one-piece race suspension into the 16vlv.

Oh, and no offense to some of you guys on here. (particularly to Mike and Hypercrush), but I really don't like the look of having everything clean minus a rusted hood.

Just distracting to look at.. (but Mike's car was progressive, and he has a dent in the pillar, so having a clean car with a pillar dent would look weird).

[Bracknaphobia]

Billet aluminum grilles make me shudder, as do tinted headlamps and "chrome" windshield wipers. Also, the whole "jdm angled exhaust" thing has me asking "why?" I can deal with it on some cars, especially if the engine has the balls to back up the look, but I recently saw a car with a stock exhaust angled ridiculously toward the center of the car. I then proceeded to throw up in my mouth a little.

[hypercrush]

:dunno I strongly disagree. If we're dissecting the word "coilover", yes, it means coil over strut... but a lot of cars are designed with the two separated in the rear. Its just the design of the suspension.

[MrJereMoose]

okay, I don't mind this hood, it's subtle, but I'm not going to say I like it yet. It could grow on me...

[MrJereMoose]

I like my boser

I'll check it out

[MrJereMoose]

^^Yup that's the thread I was talking about

[525iT_Feen]

I don't have mods that I **** without reason but one thing that has been driving me completely insane lately is the sticker fetish. 9 times out of 10 I see a dope car with stickers it just really kills it for me. I used to have a few goofy ones in my rear window of the e39 but I took those off too.

That and black wheels. Used to like them, **** them now on almost everything. I was probably the person you saw post that I don't like them in the e60 guys thread. His car is dope as hell and the wheels are really nice but them being black kind of kills the flow for me. Thats another thing that it seems is just me though.

[aar0n.]

boser hoods or eyelids

I don't get it, obviously some people like them, but I never have.
I would love for someone to change my mind, but I haven't seen a good example yet...

I like my boser

And on the topic of coilovers, as other people have said, lots of cars have suspension setups like that, VWs included

[Kielan]

:dunno I strongly disagree. If we're dissecting the word "coilover", yes, it means coil over strut... but a lot of cars are designed with the two separated in the rear. Its just the design of the suspension.

That's what I was trying to say. You just put it into a lot less words hahaha.

[M.Burroughs]

I **** it when people call non coil-over-oil layout adjustable suspension "coilovers". Like the Ground Control kits for the E30, or the FK coilovers for the E36 (http://www.esetuning.com/FK-Automoti...-p/fkxbm50.htm) where the spring and strut is separate at the back with the springs sitting in the OEM perch with threaded spacers.

Coilovers mean the suspension is compacted into one assembly mounted on the outer edge of the suspension arm.
