Official old grumpy assholes of zilvia thread
 

With all of the hulabaloo about turboshoebox floating around ZIlvia, do you really feel that the Work Wheels Quote Time HRE Wheels...Why R They Expensive? Anyone Else Not Like the R35 Rep Wheels, Would U Run Them?

Please let me know what you think. By the way, I'm like...soooooper into the S-Chassis 'thing'. Like, I've loved them for sooooooo long. I know a fuckload about the SR.




Please notice me.

I like his threads, even though I know I shouldn't lol. He provides spaces for us old folk to yell at the clouds.

I think he makes these threads trying to basically ask what the general opinion is about what he wants to do to his car, he just does it in a very different way.

Instead of "I want HRE wheels but they're super expensive"
He asks "Why are HRE so expensive"

So when everybody is like, its easier to find work wheels and replacement hardware for them he goes, okay, i'll spend 3k on meisters instead of 3k on HRE instead.

What ever tickles your pickle, GO FOR IT. Get a Mason jar and stand outside a food store. Gently speak, I need any spare Benjamins for my project and extend the jar toward their face.

nice attention to detail, picking up on the nuance in turboshoeboxes posts :bowdown:

You sure it's not that hubeny guy trolling? Lol. Wtv happened to him anyway?

He and some youtuber nameed tommyfyeah are beefing over some old ass Nismo floor mats.

lol blah blah blah really over some fucking floor mats.

Link to the arguments

....ftfy....

im ah... gonna go ahead and allow this thread

I could be wrong here, but I’m pretty sure that turboshoebox is NiteKids. The posting style and general attitude fits. Pics of his old kouki are easy to find. I am curious as to what he’s driving nowadays, though.

dizzariot is so infatuated with me. He loves to follow my posts and always have something negative to say. Either way instead of just showing what I currently have I'll go thru all the cars.

At Toyota Fest at the queen mary and was on vsxx at that time (even came home with a award)

No S-chasis again at the moment. not jumping on another one till the s15 is legal. Will be my midlife crisis car

Link to the beef? I watch Tommy fresh videos and like all other mainstream videos it's 95% talk with a splash of actual content..

The only videos I watch from that area are Jimmy Oates

should have kept the 240

Should have but can't turn back time. Would have been cool to have kept it in storage for 11 years and it would be a time capsule car when it last modifed late 2006.

Your kouki was so good. It’s no surprise that your cars since have been just as clean.
Honestly, based on the “turboshoebox” name, I was really hoping you’d have some sort of crazy turbocharged shoebox Ford somewhere among the fleet. Lol

Thanks dude I appreciate it.


I'm just a jaded old timer that refuses to follow the latest trends and have stuck with a formula that almost always looks good and is timeless.

Look man, a lot of us subscribe to that ideology. That doesn’t detract that your threads (not posts, ENTIRE THREADS) are the equivalent of an old man yelling from a rocking chair on his porch.

Maybe just post instead of making full-on nonsense threads. Maybe provide some context for your disdain so people don’t think you’re a 14yr-old with no car...or do none of that because this is the internet. Your reputation here will reflect it.

Nice cars nonetheless...but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t point out the ‘stance’ when you constantly claim you don’t like ‘trends’.

...and are those rep TEs on that Civic?

Isn't that everyone's failure? I would smash mine into a tree before I sold it.

I've always been a jack ass on forums and never been one to sugar coat my thoughts since i had my s14 in 2002. My "online rep" has never been a concern.

I always have had strong opinions when it comes to car stuff even if it's not a popular one.

On another note I would argue that stance isn't a trend but has been awhile for quite some time.(since atleast the late 90's in japan and isn't going anywhere.)

it's just more of a semi recent phenomenon that has caught on in the states. (can't speak for other countries since i don't live there.)


My first aggressive wheel set up w/ pulled fenders and camber was early 2000 on my s14. I only knew one person who done it at the time.(jdmrice richard 240sx red hatch.) i was inspired and did the same thing. so even at time it wasnt a trend. (as far as the states) it was one dude. I was blown away at the set up. I had to have it myself. Never even knew it would catch on. for years i kept calling everyones wheel set ups sunk like a battle ship cause no one was doing it at the time and got banned on many forums for my comments lol

Welp that escalated and de-escalated quickly lol

On another note yes those are te reps on the civic. I'm not proud of that moment but that was the one time i ran reps and never again. cracked multiple times and gave me a huge headache.

now since my prius i only had weds tc007, work m1r, work vsxx, work cr2p and next year i plan on work GT-5 3p

I remember that black s14 kouki on the forums. I think I also saw it in person back in the day at a booth (I want to say the Speed Alliance booth?) in one of the D1GP events and I briefly spoke with the owner about the MSport hood.

yup that was me. wasn't a speed alliance booth tho or maaybe it was. it's been too long. D1GP events were the only events I ever displayed at (as a booth car). can't remember which shop i was with at the time though

Hey sometimes you gotta yell, just like you did in this thread.

BTW, the front on that s14 looks brutal.

Brutal equals bad?
