I have a friend whos into this "Hellaflush" idea where by stance is everything even if the car is unusable. he has sent me some videos mostly an american thing it seems to me. Theres cars like evo's subarus and skylines and the people have spent an absolute fortune then put the camber setso it looks like a tesco trolley found in a river just so the wheels go under.

I am i getting to old to understand this tuning style or does anyone else see what i see?

heres a video he sent as example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgMYz...eature=related

 

I'm almost Hellaflush, but it's 'cos my R888's were attacking my rear arches... so I just wound on a bit more -ve camber till they just missed...



dunx

 

Ridiculous, as is so much the Yanks do.

No wonder their cars won't go round corners.

 

them cars just look like there suspension has totally collapsed. a little bit of camber's not that bad but my thinking of a car is that if it is not able to play around in and have fun anymore then its better off at the scrappy.

 

this is my thoughts exactly.

He only just got into the jap car scene with a civic coupe and he started with tuning in mind now hes gone to this chain of thinking. hes all for hellaflush and i just dont see it myself glad im not the only one

 

i thought this was going to be a thread about engine flush!

 

Stupid if unusable but those 8,5-9,5" wide Rotas look so good.

 

Well, yes............if you want your car to look like a Mattel Hotwheelz

 

I thought that too!

 

I love hella flush. Not ott though. Some amazing scoobs and the like with hella flush. Slot of them are on bag like my mates 335d is going to be. True men use coilovers and yes my scoob is getting some nice wheels and a bit of camber

 

DO they have any corners to go round ?

LOL

dunx

 

There is looking good and then there is impractical...... the 8.5" Rotas look wicked on new age cars :P

 

Show cars, not Go cars.

Take a car and turn it into a fashion statement. Teenage bullcrap if you ask me.

 

Hell fooking no,what a joke they look ****e if you ask me

 

here is mine on the 9.5" Rota grids
and yes its very useable
It was on track at rally day last year



each to their own though

 

problem is alot of the people doing it over hear use it day to day and you can hear the scraping and grinding before it arrives with sparkes and tyres worn out on the insides and its usually a civic around my neck of the woods. Glad im with like minded people i dont think my opinion will change but for the pc brigade "each to thier own i suppose" :P haha

BTW stealth the rotas look amazing on there and car sits just right like it alot

 

yours look's sweet budgie like that but when the wheels are buried in the inner wheel house it looks ****e and is totally impractical.

 

TOTALLY agree that looks awesome but your cars not scrapping along the floor with a silly camber and totally undrivable. im all for stance and nice wheels but theres a limit i think some people dont get.
*** Goes back and watches another video interestingly called fatlace***

 

if you actually look at most of the vids and photos on the fatlace site,there are a lot of cars done to a quality that most of us can only dream of.the americans do know how to make a car look great but yes some do go to extremes.if in doubt search fatlace for the bugeye that was on there about 3 months ago,stunning absolutely stunning i actually like the hella flush movement and as said before each to their own.
it takes a lot to make a subaru fresh and individual

 

Ermmmm I'll be back in a few minutes.


Absolutle ****! I think rota's look amazing! Technically it's not hellaflush but when it looks that good who cares!

 

i really love your car budgie but can i ask you something, when you were at castle combe last year for japfest you had to slow right down when you were cornering and it looked like it was because of your wheels or was that me just imagining it.

 

thanks for the comments belliott, do you mean rallyday?
if you have a look in the projects section, you will see where my car is at.
I was offered tickets last minute and decided to attend
then I got some cheap track time on the day
Knowing the car was not in the best of health, but as a favour to Bockett
and to give Phil sidc a few rare laps, I gave the car a run
2 laps in we noticed the brake discs were not great but the wheel bearings had gone
hope you saw the first 2 laps fella, how were they?

 

he he

 

Reeeally nice
So these are 18*8.5 Rota Grid Drift? What's the ET on these rims? And what dimensions are the tyres, 225/40/18?

/Christian

 

 

8x15 front 10x15 rear if your going to do it do it big !
not mine btw

 

Your getting to old, just like a few old farts on here, you got to move with the times, and beside thats what you have adjustable coilovers for......slam it for shows, raise it for track

 

Its a hell yes from me, i love a nicely stanced scoob.

You can get the look without compramising the handlin (too much )

 

Me too!

Won't it fail an MOT if the rims are wider than the arches?

 

my friend did hellaflush for his lovely sti spec c, but he is struggling to drive his car since his car is too low to easily scratch under chassis.
