Haha, looks like your hater thread has been stopped by functionality.

That animal thing on the tow hook is for chick factor? Hmmmm. . .

That wasnt my reason for putting it on there, but I am now glad I did

*!Zar!* · 07-06-2005, 01:22 AM

I threw one on my tow hook for the jdmomgwtfbbq factor. But all the chicks I know love it.

TurDz · 07-06-2005, 02:38 AM

I've seen plenty of cars go into the drift at ButtonWillow...haha man, those tow hooks are very useful in that situation.

And the stuffed animal on the stock tow hook...such a drifter thing to do! i saw a teletubbie and others at drift day norcal a couple days ago.

KwKouki · 07-06-2005, 03:30 AM

I guess I was born with dorifto style

A buddy of mine put a snowman head x-mas tree ornament thingy on my TA's towhook one night at a party.

I also had the bracelet on the shiftboot before I knew what drifting was. A girl left hair-tie made of cats eye beads there one night, and it stayed in my car till I sold it.

91CRXsiR · 07-06-2005, 03:35 AM

i have bracelets on my shifter was well.. but ive never seen anyone else w/ them.. cept my bro

thx247 · 07-06-2005, 09:29 AM

You think they would photoshop in a picture of the track with the hooks

Too bad I don't see H+A's around here, maybe I would have seen this already. No worse than some of the 240 stuff I've seen though. Whatever floats your boat.

nistech · 07-06-2005, 12:22 PM

i went in a chevron to get gas the other day this guy had a cigs pack hooked on to his 240s tow hook

blue109 · 07-06-2005, 12:43 PM

thats sweet. all 4 of the pics you posted are hot ass cars. nicer than 80% of the bucket 240s running around with the obligatory black primer. good job though.

sLip techniques · 07-06-2005, 01:20 PM

i have goofy on my tow hook

and i actually like those modded tow hooks.

Inland180 · 07-06-2005, 05:01 PM

all i know is that... the rear left tow hook on 240 suck ass!! all they do is dent the tip of the muffler!! thats why i took it off!

gorgasm · 07-06-2005, 06:01 PM

that type r is hot.

kuramaya · 07-06-2005, 06:18 PM

FYI A tow hook is a required item on the car at alot of drift events in Japan...but My car has 4 stock ones, dont your USDM 240's have the 2 on the back below the bumper and two in the front?..They are tiedown points, but can be used as tow hooks as well

Inland180 · 07-06-2005, 09:31 PM

i mean they are useful if you really track your car all day and like ending up in the ditch but all i know is that on the US 240 s13 the rear left one sucks!!!

Johny5 · 07-06-2005, 09:34 PM

haha funny, i was just figuring out a spot to dremmel through my front bumper so i could put a tow hook on, rear as well. its because you don't have aero kenny so you're not worried about anything breaking while you're being towed

its just as stupid as all of your retarded little fascinations that don't matter. just because its on a honda doesn't really make it any less ricey than all of you kids' antics.

This is the coolest thing I have ever heard anyone say on zilvia.

I had to cut the rear left one off for my exhaust to fit

sLip techniques · 07-06-2005, 10:41 PM

^ why didnt u just take it off...? lol

thx247 · 07-07-2005, 12:13 AM

The stock tow hooks are not very good if the car is up to the axles in dirt. This happens frequently. I'm going to start bringing a shovel out to the track.

I wish every car had those higher tow hooks, or a cage (ultimate "tow hook"

dont they have to jack up the rear end and drag the front? ... that would destroy my lip and prolly my bumper.. damn ricey teins

Johny5 · 07-07-2005, 05:15 PM

well yeah, you have to remove the bumpers front or rear during tow. but still the higher tow hook can put your car at lesser of an angle, which might in turn save your exhaust etc. sometimes cars get knee deep in shit and the hooks are buried (oem ones) then what? uh-oh someone call "ricey honda tow hook" man cus he's about to save your ass.

enen11 · 07-07-2005, 05:40 PM

when was having a bracelet on the shiftboot "drift"?? i have a bracelet on my shiftboot since long time ago.
