most of them looks shxt

but some exmple like Phuman's R34 looks alright (1-2 yr ago, now looks a bit over the top IMO)

Phumans 34 was awesome and it was covered in vinyls, you need to plan it out carefully to get it perfect to suit the car and colour otherwise it will be shit

What happened to phuman I used to see it all the time then it just vanished :(

RICE RICE RICE!! I hate vinyl, especially shopping list decals on front doors. the exception is a very clean JDM style thing that has actual sponsors on it, like a car that competes in drift or race events. As someone said by sum1 b4; vinyl is for a stock lancer with a bodykit and chrome wheels.

I've seen very few vinyls that I can look at for any more than a few seconds & then be turned off by them. They're for attention seekers only, just like 20-inch chomies you can damage on a pot hole & rearrage your internal organs with, ultra low body kits you can rip off on the first speed hump you can find, massive rear wings that just create drag rather than downforce & any other useless bling you can think off.

To me a car is like a woman in so many ways, you wouldn't want to see a nice looking chick cake her face with rosy red blush & white foundation that makes her look more like a clown, why do it to a nice looking car??

This is how dumb i am. For the first few posts i was thinking about the vinyl records (yeah before tapes and CD's) and it was like where the f*ck are you going to stick them on a car.

Its funny how my old car has gotten more comments with the new owner than with me, oh well, any way....SAY NO TO BLING

I agree some of the points people made about sticker & vinal, but it's your car, so if you want to do it, just do it, why do you have to care what they think? By the way, they said the sticker or graphic can get too much attention, why they put bodykit on their car or why they modify their car? That also get attention from people. I believe most people want to get attention for their car, but just how much you want it, so if you're going to do it, just perpare you'll get more attention from people and police. I think sticker & vinal can make your car stand out, but you've to be very careful what you're putting on there, because you don't want to stick something on your car and then you think it look shit. Anyway, think twice before you do it, that's my suggestion. :laugh:

V I N Y L .... ITS VINYL ALREADY... NOT VINAL for all you bastards who cant spell! End rant.

Back on topic... If it is done tastefully it can give your car that individual look without screaming RICE too much, but it is so easy to get it sooo wrong!

    • Seems bang on to me , g30-900 will make 900 crank on e85(on paper). Deduct ~25% for 98 and you are at 675 crank. Run that to the wheels and fact you are only running 26psi you end up about your number.  People forget how magic E85 is now that just about everyone is running it.   "Back in the day" you had to be north of 30psi on a 850+hp turbo to get 600 at the wheels on 98.   
    • I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.
    • I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low
    • sadly, pics no work. that car must have spent a lot of time in a cryo bubble
    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.
