Ive got this from a trip to Japan last year. Though i might see what others are hanging on their tow hook when they go Drifting.

A little history on how this started in Japan by Antonio Alvendia

"For some reason, it has become some sort of trend for people to hang toys or other items of thier cars' rear tow hook, but the origination of this trend came from the Bosozoku (street gangsters with fixed up cars) in Japan. It was a Bosozoku trend to hang a small tin bucket from thier rear tow hook to show off how low thier cars were- they got the idea from seeing cement trucks in Japan, wich always had a bucket hanging off the rear of the truck. The cement trucks used the bucket as a "catch can" of sorts, so that excess cement from the truck would'nt spill onto the pavement. Inspired by this, the bosozoku trend setters attached small buckets to thier rear tow hooks to show how low thier bucket could hang- if your car was so low that the bucket could scrape on things as you were driving , they thought it was cool as hell."

Some other ones i found on the internet, pretty interesting.

one of the guys I know in brissy has a panda charm he hangs off his tow hook. Think his girlfriend gave it to him or something.

but yeah, hanging badges off the towhook = FAIL.

Besides, note that all those cars in those pics are american. They probably all have learner driver stickers on em somewhere too :P

LOL @ the badges. Once again the Americans have missed the point by miles.

I had a NPL poker chip chilling on my Skyline, until I put the car into a cliff backwards about 3 days later (first slide session after I put it on :D)

Turned out to be a bad luck charm :)

ok i knew this crap was going to happen

you see i have a mate that has a r33 also...all my ideas when i first got mine i told him then all of a sudden he reckons hes got these new ideas and tells me theyre the exact same as what i want to do to my car..so before i went out one weekend to where i used to live i took my rear spoiler off and bought sum lame ass stickers. that weekend we went for a drive after i heard it non stop yours doesnt ahve a turbo yours is four stud ra ra ra.. i had my park lights on went got a feed then we start driving again and all of a sudden his park lights are one. spoke to a few mates hes got stickers and no rear wing now. and he doesnt say crap any more after we had a bit of a race.

hope that clears it all up

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
