Proformance mods vs. styling mods(excessive camber, slammedness ect.) Options

[TannerEsser]

Whats peoples opinions on slammed cars? and on "cars set up for proformance", i think its all opinion if you like cars low to the ground then do it. if you want to turn you car in to a race car... then stop think about it, and then buy a car that is actually a race car. cause a toyota celica isnt really a race car

Low looks nice, slammed looks stupid. There are some exceptions, but usually none of them are japanese cars in my opinion.

Excessive camber is probably the worst thing to ever hit the after market world ever, aside from maybe fart can exhausts on slow ****ty under powered cars.




My toyota celica is actually a race car though. doh....

Haha well it's just my opinion. I hate those exhaust notes so bad it drives me crazy. On the rally car I had a straight pipe exhaust for while, which pretty much had that fart can sound.

I was shifting into 5th gear at like 30 mph cause I was embarrassed of the noise. Put a resonator on it and it doesnt sound toooo bad now. For 4cyl and exhaust, most sound bad... Subaru's sound pretty good, Also neon SRT4's with the right exhaust for some reason.

Focus's are probably the worst.

I love the rumble of a boxter engine. My buddy has a exhaust leak behind his cat and keeps complaining about the sound. I just sit there and enjoy the music of that H4. Has such a pretty tone.

People just slap cans on stock pipe and it sounds like ass. It also does nothing for performance... that's what gave the glasspack (aka fartcan) a bad name. I'll rock my fart howitzer all day, every day though. I don't even know what it sounds like yet because my friend hasn't been able to help me re-route the exhaust under the axle for the 2.25" piping I've got .

Here is another video, this one mostly old Toyota's and Nissan's that are all pretty slammed. I still think it can be done well.

That's all in Japan and is how they do it. They don't slam them like the German boys do, they slam them without excessive camber


Here is a clean well slammed 7th gen owned by a guy I know:




Believe it or not, that license plate folding out (making it look like a paper blowing in the wind or like you're going really fast rofl) is a JDM thing. I've seen a lot of cars in Japan with that. I guess it's because that rear plate is riveted to the car and that's about all they can do?
