I think the forums aren't necessarily glorifying shitty cars, but glorifying nicely built cars. For some reason the poor people think we are in some imaginary race to throw the most parts possible at a car as quickly as they can. That is where bad judgment comes in and people start going cheap, or say, 'fuckit'. The result is shitty looking cars that kids have built.
Then those same kids claim that they are hardcore in the, 'scene' because they slapped on some $600 coilovers, and a $400 set of XXR's while they meet up at their local boba spot with their shit-buckets. Anyways, whooooooooo go american driftingggggg!

The age remark was directed at someone who said that drifting only became popular because of tokyo drift. I imagine if youre 18 and a nice car he wouldnt care. Its just that most people your(and my) age suck.

The problem isn't what people do to their cars, its how they do it.
There is this unexplainable thing Japan has that the US just doesn't collectively have. You can feel it in the air when you're there, when you see peoples cars over there - even the ones that don't look good - you can feel it coming from the car. When you build a car you should be breaking yourself down to the smallest levels and fully immerse yourself in what you're doing. Then when you have the finished product part of yourself is in it and others will be able to feel it when they look at your car. I think this is why some cars can have the same exact stuff on it and one will feel completely different then the other. I think Wagners car is an excellent example of that. Its red, has uras, widebody, battles, and it isn't very low - none of those things should make it extraordinary, but it has a presence that cars with 'rarer' parts don't have.

Just so we're clear, BH made me spin because he asked me to slow down so his shitty KA could catch up and I have never ever driven that slow in my life.
Blam lol, but seriously I drove the car like a maniac after that because from then on I just didn't care and it was great. |

So, the basic consensus here is that because I'm not ballersauce, and rather spend money on actual parts/tires/track time, instead of a paint job, I should just not be part of the scene because my car is ugly? lol. Haters.

I'd rather see a sexy looking car spinning out or not "killing it" then see an ugly car "killing it."

Another thing is that people love to be the "internet hero" and want instant gratification from others. This is happening with various car brands though. You know the score, where people build amazing cars. Then they get a feature in a magazine and then sell it because the are "finished". People need to build cars for themselves and not for internet bro respect. |

Totally missing the point. If YOU CANT AFFORD BALLER PARTS IT DOESNT MEAN TO PUT JUNK ASS SHIT ON YOUR CAR. Although you may think you are making a race car, it doesn't mean it is a race to make the a finished product. If you want wheels, buy the best ones you can afford, and in a good size, don't buy things just for the sake of not having stock parts, try to save and buy important things. But WHATEVER YOU DO, just take pride in your car. Like keep it clean, take care of maintenance, sure it may not be as fun as buying aftermarket parts, but it is just as important. This is not a snobbish ballers only club. I have given guys props with nice ride highth and g35 or z wheels. and clean paint. BH, touche. Good point, but thanks for bringing it up. This is the internet and people will take things seriously. I don't personally know you, met you maybe a few times, so maybe I just took it the wrong way, and if I did, I know others did. But I think people should stick things out if they love them. If you really like something, don't quit it when you run into problems. Or because the scene is filling up with asshats and fucktards. Maybe I am just too much of an enthusiast, and Nissans are my life, and my passion, so maybe I am wrong to assume that people should have as much heart or enthusiasm as me. Almost all my friends are from my involvement in this scene or industry. I am here to have a good time, and to make friends, my love of cars and the people I have met through them, has brought me many good things in my life, and I look forward to more good times and good people. I am not here for people to think I am cool. Tricky AB, HIGH FIVE! |

I can't afford real wheels. I bought these new Rotas in a similar style for $800 instead of $2400 (when you could've bought a set of used wheels for that price)
I crashed my car and don't have money for paint, so I just bought a different color fender. I primered just that fender, then decided to primer the entire car until I save up enough money to paint it one day. *two years later* ...car is still primered. Etc. Crappy mindset, crappy execution, and rushed builds. That is why we have shit cars.

Bodykits. WTF. Never picked up the memo that you needed to run dmax/origin/etc style
on EVERY 240, much less that drifts to even be considered. Regardless of paint, theres more shitty ass multicolored body kit 240's that this forum CREAMS over, then clean sexy STOCK styled 240's. It's very sad. I guess I'm just one of those guys, (the rare), that would rather stay stock body. How/what the car REALLY looks like, effective wheel fitment and height, maybe a factory lip. ENJOY it. THE end. I also say, that d1 should be divided according to horsepower. not a poor sr20 s15 turbo vs an ls7. both nice looking maybe, but both completely out of each others level. Lets get it all fair again, and bring the competition to the WIRE. not landslide. grassroots style |

its absolutly amazing how much truth is in this thread...and its also really sad with how bad it has gotten in the "drifting, 240, and just the overall car enthusiast" scenes.

'attention to detail' ...that's what seperates the cool guys from the car guys.
