Our thinking on this is completely aligned

 

No it's not, well not unless you're a complete moron with ar5eholes for eyes!

 

 

I think the general popularity of Rota Grid Drifts in this country and on this forum would probably argue you on that one....but ya know anyone who watches F1 and computerised cars going round a track must have a few loose wires

 

for me (at least) its not about stickers , wheel flares , even aftermarket aloys and body kits its about subaru's , with the impreza being the most iconic model . so for me it would have to be more factory looking and not so much aftermarket . so on that note i would probably nominate the 22b ,prodrive bug , and s204 .

hers is one or two of my bug but you get the idea

 

Yep I'll bet that less than 0.1% of Subarus in the UK have them for wheels and I am yet to see a rally car with them on, but you keep wittering on about them if it makes you feel good. Anyway 'stancing' is about more than a set of wheels.... making your arch tops drag on them seems to the main point of note.... another great idea

Why not stick to commenting on things you know something about, although somehow I think it would be be a very small post count for you in that case

 

Zzzzz
stance is ****.
just because you run rotas etc doesnt make you stanced.
i have xxrs but the cars not dragging its **** along the floor
if you cant drive it whats the point?

 

They're called classics for a reason

 

I agree with you, impractical as hell, as I mentioned in earlier statements, but they look awesome and that was the title of the thread..best looking, not best performing.

 

How many times do you take your Subaru rallying? Of course you wouldnt see a rally car with them on, that would just be silly. I dont have Grids because they are impractical, however, they look awesome when slammed. Simple as and point of the thread.

Oh I know lots, lots more than you would probably understand, so i'll save you the effort looking up the meaning of big words in the multiple thread counts

 

I like this one...

 

A couple of my previous scoobs, would upload a pic of my current type r but in its current state not many people would feel the love

 

No, in your opinion they look awesome when 'slammed' (sic). In most normal people's opinion they look **** when 'slammed'!! Hope that helps

That statement doesn't even make sense FFS!

 

How was the rally track again?

Yup, it does as it was a parody of your own statemet

 

1 8 15 17 for me

 

No it really doesn't. You can't look something up in multiple post counts, you can look something up in multiple posts. It wasn't a parody. It was you being thick!

 

Them slammed Impreza's just goes against everything what impreza's are about. Its like covering a rolls royce in rally stickers or having a bonnet scoop on a bentley continental. W&NK.

 

As I used the term thread, whereas you used post, same difference, you're confused, but its ok, i forgive you.

 

Yes, by your own admission same difference, so what you wrote still makes no sense

 

If you seriously believe people only fit Rota Grid Drifts because they want the slammed look then you've obviously been smoking more Crack than the Mayor of Toronto.

 

Stance on a Impreza is all wrong IMO
Cars that are normally boring looking and slow ie most VWs in standard guise looks great 'stanced' (I flipping hate that word as much as your car is so 'scene'!!!)
That's kind of the point making a slow everyday car look better, but cars that are performance cars should not be stanced I think it makes them look **** and pointless to have a performance car that can't really be used properly!
But a set of wheels does not make stance lol, it's the way it's lowered the arches rolled, wheels sitting flush / tucked / protruding the arches, camber set up ie negative!

Slow, wide, angled, low, scrubbing and rubbing That's stancing!!

 

I completely agree...I was the owner/builder of an S3 engined Mk2 Golf but I swayed away from the Dub scene as it became more about form over function, however I lived in Hong Kong during my younger days, and the street racing scene was immense, and you could definitely have both if done right.

Most Imprezas predominately live on the streets, not a 'mystical' rally track, but maybe some owners sit in the garage pretending they are on a stage

 

Well, I am living on a rally track. Every year the Anglesey Rally comes past our house and along the same roads that I drive every day to and from work. That said, I chose not to have an Impreza as I knew I'd need a bit more clearance.

The predominant preference here is performance over form. I'd love to see a stanced car to try to keep pace with me on our lane, it'd be grounded in seconds.

The sad reality is that the roads in the UK aren't what they should be and to try to scrape your pride and joy along them rather than pass over them strikes me as utter nonsense.

 

Agree with the VW scene that's why I left, I was a MK2 owner with a VR6 conversion then a MK4 R32 owner and after owning over 9 dubs in total I to left due to the 'scene' boys and the rolling on huge rims in air!

I agree you can get low and functional fast cars like drift cars and street racers proper 'ricers' as they call them but I would say they are slammed or 'stances' IMO as they been carefully set-up with the right camber and alignment to still run properly my gripe is the big wheels slammed on its **** cars.
But this thread is about what you think is good I prefer kind of stock looking impreza with some moderate lowers and a nice look to it, some will love the stance some will love the stickers I prefer no stickers no stance

 

You can have both.

 

Standard (ish), slightly lowered and new alloys with better offset is about as good as it gets.

When you polish a turd, etc.

 

Ever seen anything as totally pointless and stupid as this?

 

I think for the first time, I agree with you completely
