Didn't do this today but I wanted to post this
Put 5% tints on all windows except driver and passenger windows. 5% window strip AAAAnd some decals.

 

Why not the driver and passenger window?

 

Probably tint laws, even if it looks hilarious

 

Yea. Damn NJ tint laws

 

16x8 xxr 531 +20 offset.

















and for all the love... another set!

 

he should've left the front quarter windows alone, wouldn't look so bad.

 

@Hayden
preach brother preach lol I've been raving about my Swifts and RSB.

You almost feel like you need to let the world know about this incredible new found handling.I'm not lying when I say I enjoy driving my fit as much as I did my Mustang.

I'm talking a 600hp Kenne Bell supercharged beast with full suspension

I'm about 20min away from some awesome canyon roads and I play in them atleast twice a week.

 

Beautiful! We have similar looking roads around here. Tucked here and there around town, or you can head to the hills for some pretty serious stuff.

Funny thing is, even though I push it on the street and off ramps, I really had no idea of what the car can do until a more variable environment. I've driven and owned my fair share of high performance, and well tuned cars, but this had my head snapped around like something that really does cost a lot more than what I've paid to get it to this point. I'm close to several road tracks, so time and resources allowing, I'd like to take 'er out and really run it up against some of those more expensive toys.

I also need to try it without the rear spacer and report back. You might like it with some on there too. I think I prefer it. Makes it more stable, but doesn't take away from the rotation added by the sway bar.

Edit: this is the typical road you can find without going out of your way around here, and might have to dodge traffic.


Here's a popular one. Just a section, overhead view.


One of favorite in-town turns. Few miles from where I grew up.


A few miles from there.


Popular area, few miles outside of town.


And my favorite. Once again, just skirting town. A mile away from my brother's old neighborhood. Very twisty. Not many photos. Yes this is TEXAS.


Very typical hill country turn. Watch out for deer and branches!

This turn near a friends house is like a benchmark.

Maybe we should start a thread for fun roads that have been driven and can leave coordinates or images from a map source.

 

Installed a Kenwood DNX7190 HU and OEM armrest.

 

That would be fun! The links in my post go to a streetview on a pc. Didn't work on the ipad. Could be a great thread. Encourages people to go out and explore their area too.

 

And if he had to leave the fronts untouched I probably also would of gone with a slightly lighter tint, say a 35 or 40, for the tinted, but not overly out of balanced look.

But I do agree with you, should of left the fronts undone too.

Your environment already makes me jelly Hayden.

 

sounds good and sorry for going off topic
man Hayden those are some fun looking roads and also beautiful.

 

Around Mt Rainer? Curvy roads with steep drop offs? Maybe when you're done with Mt Rainer, take Paradise Rd into Seattle as the sun sets.

CA36/299 loop from US101 to I-5? Look for a town called Eureka... in California.

How about CA1 straight down the coast. Mountain to one side, sheer drop to ocean on the other... and switchbacks! Just as long as you aren't stuck behind an RV. =.="

Or maybe just CA1 right as it starts it's southward journey from US 101 to the coast... you might find where I messed up a turn and dropped a corner onto the road (39.852593,-123.736718).



Or no road... Bonneville Salt Flats.

Why do you need the "whole" road? Wouldn't it be naturally more challenging to keep the same pace WHILE sticking to your lane? It forces more precise turns. I mean, what's the point of taking a hairpin/switchback if you're just going to make a wider turn? You want to enjoy the turn itself, not "make time."

 

Thank you for your input goober, but the point of the question was not one ask to be scrutinized. It was mearly a simple one asked to see if you can see on coming traffic or not incase I would feel the need to use the whole road.

But on a technical note, by able to use the whole road you can control your line better at where and how you need to clip the apex to maintain speed and have a better exit.

I'm not trying to promote going balls deep on these roads, it was more of a question just to answer a personal question. "If you could see on coming traffic or not." What you do with the answer is to each their own business. I hope you understand goober.

 

No apology needed about off topic zilla. Coco when spirited I stay in my lane always, so definitely not going as fast as I could be, but still loads of fun.

 

Well, my point was, I drove with the intention that... unless they were in MY lane, it doesn't matter if there was oncoming traffic. Drive with the belief there's ALWAYS oncoming traffic.

As for apexes and exit speeds... why not create the challenge of imagining that the road actually consists of the one lane you are in. Which is why I think it's more challenging. Going wide, double lane changing to clip the apex and back wide is no different than taking a single lane that is simply a wider turn.

 

That's how I approach it Goobz, plus quite a few roads I've been on are only wide enough for 1 car in some portions yet a 2 way road and blind as blind can be. So quite disheartening actually.

 

On the way back from Cupcake Meet 14 the girls were thirsty





My new banner (finally) and Import Sweethearts stickerrrr

 

*face palm* ok goober, you know what? question redacted.

I had no intentions of getting a slight safety lecture or justification or propagandizing reasons to stay in one's own lane.

I thought it was a simple question, didn't realize I had to defend the idea that that was all it was. A simple question.

Thank you, good day, pretend I never ask.
