Negative camber. Wheels are tucked in so they can fit, while the car is slammed.

this.

goto the twistees and see what happens.



If you want to do that affordably, try the RX-8. Pretty weak on power and guzzles gas but that thing is like a glove when you toss it around the twisties.Plus there's nothing like the sound of winding up a rotary engine.

RX-8 Affordable? If you REALLY want something affordable that is nimble as hell get a 240.

It doesn't have maintenance issues, It's just expensive to repair when something does happen.

oh, so would you think there good?

[yankeephan87]

Alrite so Ive come to the conclusion that bimmers when they do have probs out of warranty are expensive to repair even at indy mechanics, would you guys copean E46 or something like a is300 or a g35 sedan?

There a guy in Miami with an '89 Box Chevy's with LS7 Engine that will leave your little 2.0L Acura by a few 18-wheeler lengths in a race. He beat a Corvette WITH nos in a race.

There are guys who have broken driveshafts in half in a '75 Impala with over 750 HP doing donuts.

Big Wheels = MORE POWER to ride on them.

Stop thinking you're better than anybody else in this car scene, because you saw F&F and decided to customize a Civic with stickers and think you're running.

and to that last line, who in here is running a civic with stickers? you're just talking useless #!%% out your mouth.

funk, thanks for the plug.

any new updates you want on the blog?

infiniti is out of the picture.

Personally I would go Bavarian, but I'm bias.

e46 330ci/i and is300 are both great choices.... it comes down to preference.
btw i havent driven an is300 yet, but i plan on going to a used dealership for a fun drive.

An LS7 wont even run you $15k.

You can have an LS9, installed, for well under $30k....
