I have no idea what you were just trying to say there.

Wingless cars are likely much faster than they look.

It is a trend in the atlanta area to take wings off cars to turn them into sleepers (cars that dont look fast but really are). That is all. like my car 4 door saturn stock fast or faster than a stock civic hatch in a 1/4 mile track. My car is a sleeper who suspects a saturn to be fast and a four door at that.

Why do that?

When people loose to an ordinary looking car it creates more of a "WOW" factor. Plus the facial expressions are priceless.

Personally I do it cuz evrryone knows a civic can be fast. Car guys can tell what engine swap you have done by the sound and times you make because evryone had done it (it is common to tune civics); on the other hand nobody expects as Toyota Paseo with an engine swap or built engine running nos "no boost" to give it away that major mods have been done.

since when did we get this rule

Just something that's thrown around the meets :-P If you would come to some >..>

yes you must come to one with us or better yet the track too.

I think this one was in a mag I read a few years back

You're thinking of the same one I am, I'm sure. Sport Compact Car, I think the name of the story was Wingless Whopper. The only difference between the two is the wheels in the story were silver. Time to go digging!

Yep I remember! the wingless whopper you must be a tr00 car junkie

Heh, I have 10 year old Super Street issues. I keep thinking about how Ricky Chu had such a nice blue S14 and got on the cover of the mag, and then later on ended up being part of the company. I just peeked at the latest issue, and laughed. I remember when Johnathan Wong was the mag's FNG, and now he's the Editor in Chief. Crazy stuff.

Yeah haha, I've been reading since june 2001, I bought my first SS right after I saw the first F&F in theaters

Irony is, I have one next to me from December of '98, and one of the articles is a test drive of a last-year Supra. Looking through the thing, "the more things change, the more they stay the same" fits so well. The S13 is the current Civic/Integra-type craze, HIN was fresh and new, Import Showoff was a big deal(I wonder what Ken Miyoshi's up to these days), street culture 'n DJs and hoochies are big parts of things, and heh, 10 years ago, 10-second quarter-mile times were amazing.

I really need to get into writing. Really do.

Yeah its amazing how things have changed over the years, s13 DRIFTZ yo! I've always gone against the norm though, I work with Z31's and first gen tegs ^^ although finding parts is a lot harder, I think its worth it.

Heh, considering I just posted a pic of an '86 non-turbo... *Grin*

Personally, since I got down to TN, I've gotten into Nissans as well, but I would love to have a Mk2 GTi or GLi or pick up a 16v Scirocco(my first manual tranny was an 8v).

Hahah, I swear its just one coincidence after another in this fandom At AC I met a dude from my hometown in NC who knew the local speed shop owners and has a S14.

I don't really like wings. Most of the time it makes the car look retarded, regard less if it's functional or not.

After seeing lots of styled and pimped supras i still think a slightly lowerd supra with orginal body kit is still best looking, if one of corse change the rims.

Fun history about the supra wing is that they looked on the ferrari F40 and got insperd of that in the prosess of making of the car.

Ahhh. Targa top. But.... where is the wing? no no, her standart wing is her cult-part.
