I just dont get this stance shit. Years ago it was called a lowered car not a stanced car.

It nust go through tyres weekly the way them wheels are.

Imo having a car this low is dangerous. Im suprised the brake pipes dont get ripped off cars that are this low.

Initially I hated it as I hate a lot of the stanced stuff but because it is so ratty and a bit shit I kinda have a soft spot for it. I'd never want to drive or own it ever though..

hahaha, there is a civic in south east London like that, stupid as fuck. I point and laugh every time I see him.

3:40 in to the vid, "Its all done by hand, Tyler did every think him self". Tyler sounds like a massive fucktard to me.

I hate this sort of thing....I am all for be individual and "each to their own" but when the engineering and safety are clearly wrong it boils my piss. I hate the rat look too...I can understand the original hot rods, just don't like them...but painting a perfectly good car Matt black and putting old stuff on a roof rack really is attention whore stuff to me.

I need a lie down now.

You are correct Carlos....thos look cool but not ruined by silly other mods stopping them working...imagine the army truck slammed on low profile tyres, stretched to the point of bursting and sticker bombed....that would win a VW show.

Thankfully now the bead of the tyre has to fit as designed against the rim and no gap or stretch creating an angle on the tyre bead.

People will still get away with it come MOT time though.

I think it goes with the name mate. If I met a really alright bloke who happened to be called Tyler I would probably still think he was a tard... Always judge a book by its cover..... or something like that.

People really don't get the rat look, it came from the hot rod scene, where the owners of the cars were more interested in the performance of the vehicle rather than cosmetic appearance, so a true rat look car should have very good mechanicals under then bonnet and a good load of power to be a true rat look car, and it doesn't have to be a hot rod either, but that's where it started. There was a very cool Anglia in the classic ford scene owned by the guy who had wacky racers performance (or something like that), had a naturally aspirated cossie under the bonnet which was well tuned, but the body had a bit of primmer on show, the odd rust bubble and the paint had seen better days, but mechanically it was good. That's a rat look car to me.

Agreed, I think the stuff Caddyshack was getting annoyed about above sounds more like a fucking dubber where some bellend puts a roof rack full of plant pots on a tatty polo and intentionally rusts the paint up just to look cool...
