Recommended Posts

I haven't been on in a while. So I thought I'd share my latest car I've been wrenching on .

 

I got it bone stock,running open header, monster trucking ,and basically needing some love.

 

I know its rusty and I plan on doing some extensive boby work when I get some time off work.

 

Ill let the pictures speak.

 

P.s Some pictures arent the greatest I know.

QFT, BTW, you have a long way to go before that thing even sniffs bozo-status...

 

 

Correction, you have a long way to go, alot of offset to give up, and a lot of exterior & exhaust work to do before that thing even sniffs bozo-status....

Theres a difference Between. The high modification of the body that you usually seen. see example below.

But yes. I do need different wheels. I am looking into some 13x9 -12 offset ssr longchamps. and I will defiantly be running some stretched tires.

Build the car you want, looks like your doing a good job of keeping the body and set up very clean. Its hard to see this in the states but the bosozoku are like the emo of the united states. usually under 21, angry at the world, trying to get attention. the only place that seems to like bozo style cars is the united states. The true old school boso bikers is a different story which is also lost in history.

 

If you need any JDM wheels or body pannel wise for that car let me know, I will see what I can find. I can find you any oldschool jdm wheel and have them in ohio usually 3 days.

Holy shit, I didn't realize you were on here, Seth.

 

I met you at Dubdash when you rolled through.. I was the one who went in the white MR2 Spyder.

 

Good luck getting any respect from people here with bosozoku style.. I still get flammed for the oil cooler I put on my old TE. I won't be doing it to my new one, it will actually be functional on the 20v, but I do intend on going more with the boso look as far as stance and look of the car.

Easy there, doc owns you.

 

QFT, remember Brokedick....., you are the one whos trying to spend 4 figures on 13 inch wheels.... you look like the moron from an outside point of view.

 

I know you are not a moron, i said it for arguement's sake... but it's like when we were stretching tires back in 2003... everybody looked at us funny for putting a 225 o na 10 inch wide wheel..

 

 

JDM cult/niche lovers need to have thick skin BECAUSE no one else thinks it's cool. I was there once... now i drive a cadillac. Does it mean i don't appreciate it.. absolutely not.
