Roller Blades In Bumper

[Ceepo]

Idk if this servers a purpose or what... Anyone care to excogitate on this...

[holybushoffire]

Maybe when he has that mad tyte angle he blades across the wall to save his bumper? Lol

hell if I know, but it's pretty dumb.

[MavericStephenc]

i may be so that the bumper "rolls" on the wall/ jersey barrier instead of the bumper getting ripped off. kinda makes sense in a stupid way.

I don't like it

[Ceepo]

Thats what i was thinkin I just thought i would share this with Zilvians. I do have to give him props for a good idea just not very usefull imho...

[Slammed Assassin]

not really useful at all, also if your exhaust sticks out farther than the bumper.
(look closely at the pic)
dosent really matter tho.

if your gonna hit, your gonna hit.

[imnotniko]

thats just fucking pure awesome. it clearly doesn't serve any real purpose but its there for when he gets that bitch sideways and scrapes the wall.. i guess if he does it perfectly.. the wheels just ride on the wall lol.

[imnotniko]

YouTube - Meihan wall scraping (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giU1Wrf09x0&feature=related)

[g-via]

a reaction is a reaction

if you hit the wall at some angle, the force will be directly translated to your bumper.
roller blade wheels will not magically turn the translational force into a rotational one, and propel you away from the wall. that is just asinine.

if it does ANYTHING, and I mean the slightest bit, is that the rubber in the wheels can absorb some of the shock impact from the wall. but realistically, unless you're hitting it at 1 km/hr, it wouldn't do shit

[Matej]

If a drift car scrapes a wall and no one captures it on camera, does it make a noise?

[deolio]

no, that guy is a pussy

[HalveBlue]

That car is clearly a transformer.

If I had to take a guess, a rollerblading transformer.

[fliprayzin240sx]

I think theyre just there to be funny...you really think roller blades will absorb anything when you slam into the wall doing 80mph? Only thing itll be good for is if you "lightly" kiss the wall.

[murda-c]

I woulda put something that would throw a lot of sparks when you hit the concrete.

[g-via]

after thinking about this some more...

since the angle of impact on the bumper is usually very steep, and the relative motion...

it will probably save some bumpers from being ripped off, since the friction against the two surfaces is greatly reduced.


putting something that would create sparks would be a lot more friction (ie to cause sparks), and your bumper would be ripped off indefinetly lol

[ryguy]

I woulda put something that would throw a lot of sparks when you hit the concrete.

Like a big chunk of magnesium, or a roller blade wheel sized spark wheel thing from a lighter.

[projectRDM]

Just more proof that drifting is seriously ghey as hell. Only people who clearly love choking on penis would do dumb shit like put roller blade wheels on their car.

[dori_sil8t]

so i should stop taking apart my lil sisters rollerblades then? ^^

[ThatGuy]

This stupid shit shouldn't even be in Chat.

Last time I checked, Rollerblades aren't made by Nissan, and certainly aren't S or Z Chassis.

--------------> Off Topic

[atutt]

Magnesium would be quite fun...
A nice plate of Ti would be quite fun as well... Bright white sparks... purrrrrdy

[Sleepy240]

Just replace the bumper with a giant piece of Ti and watch the sparks fly! Like somebody else said, I can't honestly see the wheels doing much of ANYTHING. For one I am kinda curious has to HOW the wheels are attached. Are they attached to the chassis? I see this causing more harm than anything else

[ESmorz]

I thought it was stupid on the Challenger.

I think it's really stupid that some emulated that stupidity.

Stupid.

[ThatGuy]

You know who should really look into making bumpers for drifters?







These guys:

http://www.nerf.co.nz/images/nerf_logo.jpg



And for the guys who refuse to pay for the quality manufacturer, just go to Wal-Mart and buy the knock-off "pool noodles" and make bumpers out of them.

http://www.porchandparlour.com/Stedmans/Originals/PoolNoodle_CT.jpg
They even come in flashy "Dorifto colors!"

[!Zar!]

Those wheels are for, "riding" the wall yo.

Get your Tony Hawk on.

The Mopar one seems to have it in a better location at least.

Either way, you'll never catch that shit on my car.

[Brian]

I killed myself once when I saw that.

[Pure_JDM]

clearly they need a madtyte JDM VIP drift wheel sideways and mounted to the bumper wrapped in some ultra-stretched madtyte drifting tires... then i bet half you slur removed would google over it.

[!Zar!]

It's kind of cool how that garage has track lighting.

[Teddy]

That shit is so ugly and stupid.

[TheWolf]

when drifting finally figures that it should goto a dirt late model chassis with a crate sbc for power then it will be a viable series. All this rollerblades in dodge charger crap just is gonna end up fail.

[silviaguy240]

oh its this douche that riveted 4" of shit to his front bumper and said "how low can you go?"

and now it all makes sense.

[ZX88]

lol at the donk machine next to it.

[FaLKoN240]

I would like to see a video of the designer that thought this would be a good idea, explain himself.

[ericcastro]

I dont think this would actually work worth a damn.

where is the force of impact being redistributed to?
There are no shocks to absorb it.
Any real impact will instantly crush the blades and their support, and then rip the bumper off.

Side note.
Zipties arent to be a mad tyte drift yo.
they are to be able to put the pieces back together quikly and to have them come off once some pressure is applied.
Looks like his bumper is still hardmounted, so it will stay on a little longer on the wall, but that bumper support is going to do alot more damage to the rear of that car with that pressure.
and his bumper is going to get ripped to shit instead of popping off if to much pressure gets applied.
I run no bumper support so that the bumper can just pop off if i get a couple inches to deep. Those bumper supports can catch the wall and pull you straight into it.

just my 2cents.

[napaKAliboog]

I used to be a blader and i know some aggresive blades can withstand impossible situations like a 400 pound guy falling from a 20 story building onto a rail or onto the straight ground but even so these wheels are literally "ROLLERBLADE" speed wheels which are gay as fuck

[blasting_speed]

That S13 looks gay.

[ayuaddict]

im pretty sure its a joke...

and i like the way that modified GP bumper looks, if he were to actually fiberglass something like that i would dig.

probably only on like an actual performance oriented car though...that shit would hit the ground at any respectable height.

[mr.lonelys12]

i smell a lot of jealousy

[Drifting-pedobear]

that guy is getting a new one ripped lol. new title "example of the danger of posting a pic of your car on the internet"

[Ceepo]

I like the car, i was just curious what all you guys thought of it, good colors, looks good, he is doing something diffrent and i dont think he should be scolded for trying to be inventive or trying something new, when was the last time one of you did something "different" to you car? Ill take a guess, NEVER! not saying i do different things but still dont be jerks because he is getting creative.

[VROOOM]

winder if the wheels light up? i had a razor scooter that had wheels lthat liight up.

[SochBAT]

Funny that that car with the 4" of "shit" on it still looks better than 95% of everyone else's cars.

Its truely funny because its the damn truth.

And no, "keeping it street" is not an excuse.

Its not really creative per say.
Sam did it to that challenger above awhile back.
Think it might have been more of a media thing..............

should this go in a thread with the intake thing that sticks out the hood?

I want to see these wheels in action.

BF GOODRICH CHALLENGER

This was the first car to have wheels in the bumper, and I'm pretty sure the only reason they're there is to gain publicity through people saying 'wtf' on forums, and posting pics of the car. Its actually a pretty clever idea on that front.

It seems 'how low can you go' guy has seen them and thinks they actually have a practical application :doh:

[Bubbles]

It could actually work if the rollerblade wheels hit and their friction overpowered the car's tires.

However, that would never happen.

Car tires on the bumper and rollerblade wheels on the car.





Problem solved.

[ericcastro]

Im thinking he got it wrong,









he wanted these

So some tool happens to have a lot more money to spend on his car then most everyone on this site, good for him. Difference between him and the others is they're doing what they can with what they've got. He doesn't seem to need to worry about that. :2c:

[allntrlundrgrnd]

I think they are made for the bumper to shoot off the car at minimal wall impact.

that or it prevents meddling kids from leaning against his car.

both viable options in my book

Point taken. I tip my hat to you for the insight. :wavey:

We both know you gotta pay to play. Most owners tend to half-ass everything they do and fuck shit up along the way though. Its the trend of most 240 owners. that "battleworn" look is just too irresistable.:mephfawk:

[zenki.life]

seems like an interesting idea. however in real life use i very highly doubt it would disperse any of the force in a clipping of the wall. cool idea though

dose he still have to tell his parents hes gay..
or dose a drift car cancel that out..

Actually. I only bought it because it was 200 dollar caged shell. I cut the rollerblades off. It looked even more retarded in person. The guy I got it from was a tool. The cage and front and rear bash bar are quality work. But the rollerblades were pointless.

im assuming you bought it from someone in Vegas. that looks like a Nellis AFB event.

WTF is with the gusset on the rear window? some people take that dimple die gusset shit entirely too far. glad the car is in AZ now so i dont have to look at it in person.

You understand we are talking shit on a pair of Rollerblades mounted in the rear bumper, so the dude can so some sweet ass blader slides while drifting.

Yo Dawg
We heard you like sliding,
So we put some blades in your bumper,
So you can slide while you slide.


Are you defending the roller blade bumper????
:drama:

[Pure_JDM]

D....M....X. lmfao

[fyneyoungstunna]

i see most of you fail at common sense, AND SEARCHING.

yes, the op and some others got it right, its meant to curb total destruction on bumpers when hitting a wall. Im pretty sure, structurally, its made to withstand the impact. they are not just screwed directly into the bumper. There is a "frame" behind the bumper.

i swear you 240 guys are dumb as hell sometimes, not to mention sheepole.

[BC S14]

I was thinking the same thing, It must have some sort of support. If the wheels were strong enough and the contraption were connected to the frame and other strong points of the chassis, It might be a very good idea. Looks like crap, but hey, I think getting a perfectly good and rare car close to a wall on purpose is also retarded. But that's an uphill stream on this site.

that still doesnt take away from the fact that it looks retarded as fuck

[fyneyoungstunna]

^haha yes, thats why i didnt put that part in my argument. BUT, i think itll start to grow on people.......
Besides, who wants to keep throwing money at bodyparts (car) in this crappy economy. Id rather look shitty and save my bumper ,than be cool and spend more than what i have to to replace it every two or three months. But then again, i am a bit older and have my sights set on house and land for some reason.

[blueshark123]

I want to build a roll cage on the outside of my car so i dont damage it by sliding into walls.

[ericcastro]

a set of roller blade wheels are not gonna stop or deflect the force of 2000lbs moving at 40 plus mph.

Sorry, shit is just not rated for that.
Its a fucking fairly tale if you think that shits gonna work.
And your shoveling shit around here if you try and tell people it works.

A bumper support or bash bar will deflect force better, and at that kind of pressure, you will not feel or see a difference in the wheels rolling or the lack of grip potential in metal on cement.


But please, put blades on your bumper, so we can recognize the kooks where ever we go :)

[Drift N Dragg]

How the hell did a last post of 11-25-2009 .. w/ a recent toolbag poster, to bring it back from the deepest corner of bullshit hill??

[Tantwoforty]

Well this got interesting.
and that green car is beautiful. but thats after TONS of work.

Does you know how to spell?

Clearly i do not. Why even comment. Its obvious i cant spell, since i spelled shit wrong. :cj:

so, what if you welded up a sturdy frame to hold some high density rubber or poly wheels that could take the force.. maybe work in a damper..
use some like 7x4 inch wheels...

lol nevermind, carry on.

[fyneyoungstunna]

hmmm.

280lb rider, falling...lets be conservative and say 15ft, and the wheels hold up plenty solid for that direct impact......
Now implement an even more efficient dampner system into an object that wont even take the force DIRECTLY(cause you know..this isnt made to take impact, its made to DEFLECT/ABSORB force.) But hey, your an engineer..what do i know?

[BoostSlideWayz]

Yeah im wondering how this thread has this much talk on it..... the roller blades are stupid and i dont care what there purpose is if they hit a wall at the typical impact that happens when your bumper hits that all or even gets close... im pretty sure it would break those wheels off in a second.

[fyneyoungstunna]

haha tantwoforty beat me to it!!!

but yeah lol
it would be nicer on the car and the wall...

lol

i figured that was obviously common sence that it isnt gonna work.

[irax]

the first car that I saw that had roller blades mounted in the bumper also had it linked to coilovers so that it absorbed the energy and and push back so he could just keep sliding on a straight line against a wall, or something like that. mounting roller wheels for no reason is rather superfluous

[no slide]

I was thinking, why not mount some skateboard trucks on the back so you can hit some sweet grinds off the wall. But then I remembered, they made a skateboard car already.

You understand we are talking shit on a pair of Rollerblades mounted in the rear bumper, so the dude can so some sweet ass blader slides while drifting.

[cardoza]

I think getting a perfectly good and rare car close to a wall on purpose is also retarded. But that's an uphill stream on this site.

I had no idea that 240s were rare. Here are the production numbers.

1989 - 68118
1990 - 60582
1991 - 34534
1992 - 27033
1993 - 21471
1994 - 1391
1995 - 25114
1996 - 7334
1997 - 3655
1998 - 1232 Total cars produced from 1989 to 1998: 251410

And aside from that, if they haven't already, a lot of people on here will turn perfectly good cars into complete pieces of shit that should be run into a wall anyway.

[conrad_s13.5]

god damn its depressing how true that is
