things that grew on you thread

[babyjesus]

i thought id be interesting to hear, maybe things that you didn't like before that you like now, at least from an automotive (http://zilvia.net/f/#) standpoint.


i didn't like 180sx rear valances at first, now i think they're sick as hell

Yep... I was a retard with I first signed on here and hated it. Not much has changed on the retard thing but I kept coming back, and became a premie not too long after.

Oh, and I honestly grew to find Wangan wings aesthetically pleasing on SOME cars... before I hated any and all big catering tables on the back of cars..

[240sxChillen]

S14 Kouki Skirts

-VW Corrado
-dual tip exhausts
-G35's

[CrimsonRockett]

Zenki S14 fronts.

It grew on me, but I got a complete Kouki front end for my brother's S14.

So, the Zenki shit is out the door.

Navan and all.

Haha.

[ronmcdon]

exterior designs,

the z32 has grown on me recently.
the z34/370z has grown on me further, although I've always liked it.
current subaru imprezas look better.

also, car audio has grown on me a bit.
i'm starting to care more about that, than how a car drives.
(at least when it comes to the daily commute).

Funny thing is, I used to like the zenki front end bc the kouki conversion was getting played out.....now its the complete opposite.

[90KAcoupe]

i've changed a lot since i 1st registered.. it kinda sucks,, stuff didnt grow on me, it got old,

list of shit that got old
s13's with version select kits
type-x front
te-37
work euroline dh
work meisters
work equips
any wheel with a flat lip
vip wheels on s-chassis
supermade kits
the im a baller i drive a 90's nissan attitude
the fact that drifting has became more about the fashion then the absolute fun and enjoyment of driving.
half of the shit on here that people think is flush. (if the top of your wheel sticks out it isnt flush!!!!)

sorry to poop on this thread but i get so tired of the bandwagon, and im sure that sounds hypocritical since i drift, but im sure some of you understand what i mean.

[lucky7]

lol, you can't see it, but on the shelf next to the two HD's is an AirPort Extreme. i have a little network set up. both HD's (1TB and 250GB), as well as the printer are accessed wirelessly to both computers. i have a 7 port Belkin USB hub over there too. whatever i plug into it, shows up on my wireless network. like instead of filling up the HD on my MBP, i can stick a couple of flash drives in the USB hub and drag/drop movies on to the flash drives. i'm not much of a computer nerd, but damn i'm hooked. i'd be a real baller if they were both i7's instead of core 2 duo's. oh well, someday.

S13 Coupes (was always a hatch guy)

[Highway Riding]

My Zenki lol... I sold my Z33 for a 2nd gen gs and a S14 zenki. Took 3 years to grow on me and just this year I actually enjoy the car after installing coilovers and wheels.. Should have done that first instead of sr swap.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Modern cars. Not all of them, mind you. In fact, none of them with the exception of the FR-S but that's one more than I used to want.

SUVs. I love my Range Rover Classic despite the fact that it has live axles front and rear. It just so damn capable and the fact that I can bomb potholes, speed bumps and puddles is awesome. It doesn't make any sense, though, so I'm selling it.

Gay people. I was a hardcore Repugnican back in '04 but I've changed. Some of the best, most loyal, most hilarious people I know are gay and I've done a 180 on my beliefs.

School. I need to go back. It's gratifying to feel intelligent again after working in the car business for so long and working with people who honestly have no clue about accounting or business management.

Freedom. Again, I used to be hardcore Repugnican. Freedom rules.

Chuki fronts. I'd consider one if they weren't so heavy.

Softer spring rates on the street. Stiff blows in my neck of the woods.

No compromise. My S13 used to be compromised. That sucks. No compromise any more. The car will be a bitch to drive to the track and will maintain street "legality" but no longer will it be my weekend corner-carver.

[babyjesus]

five years since I started this thread. Alot has changed, and a lot has grown on me. It's interesting to see the Og's that still lurk around this forum.

here's for old time's sake. things that grew on me:

-sport sedans, FWD one's in particular. (I own a mazda 6 now and surprisingly like it)

-old school 4x4's

-the idea of LS swapping thangs

-mexican banda music

-hot ebony females

[simmode1]

MR2's and trucks. They're all I think about now. I want to sell my S14 for an SW20 MR2 to do a 4th gen 3SGTE swap for a part time daily/track duty and pick up a VQ40 crew cab D40 Frontier w/ 6spd transmission for daily driving/towing. Perfect combo to me.

[*Hellcatt*]

Since I've last seen this thread a lot of things have grown on me also.

-180sx's
-Mustangs
-haircuts
-te37s
I still like white girls tho
That will probably never change
