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. |

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.

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 |

No S13 in the fold right now. If I found the right clean one I might buy it, big if there. Do plan on dumping the M3 in favor of getting back into S30’s a long overdue desire. Now get the fuck off my lawn and build a clean car dammit!

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.
Before wide body and color change one of the last pics of the car (before was sold) getting prepped to be on the cover of car boy Here's drift alliance posing in front of the car at tomei usa (was in irvine, ca if i remember right.) I didn't even go to the photoshoot I had sam from jspec.com take it for me |

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. |

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?

Hey sometimes you gotta yell, just like you did in this thread.
BTW, the front on that s14 looks brutal.

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 |

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.
