just as sad as:

tints
large alloys
dump valve
lowered suspension
de cat dustbin lid exhaust
scooby doo dollies on the parcel shelf/back seat/passenger seat
replacement gear ****
boot full of "ICE"
painted brake calipers
large spoiler



never had a single wiper or wanted one, but each to their own and looking at some of your cars that feature in the gallery people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

if u sit in the passenger side of an elise at speed and top down.. ull get buffeted because of the turbulence from the wiper being in the horzontal position.

so perhaps thats the only road car that would benefit?

Ease up tiger
I have bought Max Power for the last five years <Zips up flame suit> and i'm very much up for each to their own and each to their own opinion. Take a chill pill and join the banter.
Just as a side note - some of the cars that are in Max power these days are un-true. Fair enough there are some smart engines powering these things but what the **** is going on with these paint jobs and splitters that scrape the ground
Maxing cars ain't what it used to be.

TDi's are the way forward. There was a guy on here a while back selling a Seat Ibiza TDi with about 300+ bls ft torque and 200bhp

Nice...

I see a few modded cars with a single wiper blade in the middle of the screen. I don't understand. why would you want visability impaired when the standard ones close out of sight ?

just curious

Dark Blue Mark

Gay. Very gay. I think some of the touring cars have it?

MB

The Zohan

So you can tell it is a 'genune' touring car from a distance, ot just a 'Maxed up' whateverr

what would scooby do

Less drag at high speed..

... have it on a road car = tosser owner .. and thats a *FACT*

Brun

Who has a Merc then

camk

what about those big colour coded strip's across the top of the windscreen, do they not usually come in a single wiper / big strip combo

Brun

Oh **** - i'm sad

Mercedes have a single wiper system - the 'home' postition is under the proximal lip of the bonnet and not in the middle of the screen..(unlike the max power guy's)

FYI - the mercedes wiper system clears more of the screen than the traditional 2 wiper system by virtue of an eliptical motor that allows the wiper to reach into the corners of the screen during each revolution of the wiper...

Don't knock dv's, they are IMHO

what would scooby do

deffo should be made illegal that..

.. it's very very dorkish

mwp

i didn't intend the question to raise manhood and taste questions ... just was it for any practical reason.

now i know ... none

image doctor

Don't forget!

Neons
Massive Spoliers
Seat belt covers
Names on rear side windows
Flamer kits

G - A - Y!

what would scooby do

Blue scoobs are naff

The Zohan

Image Doctor - Perhaps ther kit you list + Single wiper could be know as the 'Batty Boy' option or kit/pack and be offerd as an option ir if Batty Boy is a but Un-PC then perhaps the 'people with more money than sence or style' kit/pack.

f1

don't a single wiper in the middle of the screen mean immediate MOT failure, due to obscuring view ?

sorry but u all act like w*nkers when you say stuff like that!

i am a max power person and tbh i dont like people having a go at what someone else does. each to their own and all that.

personally, i think that "sometimes" certain impreza drivers that thing they r the dogs bollocks hammering past a car are tw*ts and deserve to lose their licences.

as a "maxer" i dont condone street racing and speeding and no i dont have any points on my licence!

i am all for freedom of speech but i wonder how many of u will slate me for standing up for "maxers" or how long my post will remain?

[/thread hijack]

and going back to the centre wiper thing, it isnt illegal as it is an integral part of the vision in the wet.

ans as for names in rear windows.....never seen it on a "maxed" car but plenty on scoobs!

Scooby-Doo

Don't forget pink STI badges on UK cars.

davegtt

citroen AX GTi's have single wiper as std as does alot of other "****e" cars

persoanlly I think some of u are being a tad harsh about some of the things like large alloys, spoilers. so u saying P1's and evos are gay cause they av a large spoiler. mmm, me thinks some1 has their head stuck up there ar$e

just cause some of u guys can afford a car of that price tag and that particular car comes with a l;arge spoiler as std dont mean a car that dont come with it as standard is GAY

Dark Blue Mark

Max power generation is very sad indeed. That includes some people on here: eg sticking a ****ing spark plug to your exhaust to get flames.

I have a lot of time for the clever peeps out there who mod engines, suspension, brakes etc. But to take a 1.2 Corsa and put a giant bodykit on it, paint it illuminous pink, fog light switch permanently on, Kicking mega bass, neon ligh kit, windscreen strip saying random things like "motorsport ", LED's on the washer jets, toothless baseball hat ****** driving it, is just wrong in my book. But thats just me (also token bleach blonde bitches in the back)

Generally Evo and Scoob drivers are the dogs danglies and should be allowed to rule the road.

MB

what would scooby do

Hey MB - you love them really



:vomits:

davegtt

completely agree mate. I drive by the local car park, ook in and think to mysef, god did I used to be like that a few years ago, weve all been there, well most of us anyways.

Live n learn

Dark Blue Mark

Thats the sort of image I have nightmares about. To be fair, Ive met quite a few "rude boys" on the road who seem alright - give the thums up etc.

krbenson19@sw-cc.com

im sorry if i sounded a bit harsh but yesterday was a really bad day.

some cars i do agree look crap! id rather the street sleeper look, with car that looks near standard but has the power to hammer other "boy racers"!

My project tho is a octavia tdi thatll look near standard but with van aaken injectors, remapped ecu, induction kit, full stainless system and 19"s with coilovers and buckets!

i aint joining the "fibreglass foliatec stick on crew"!
