Street cars in Japan - Old School / New School cruisers
See the latest automotive styling trends from street cruisers of Japan.
Genuine home-boy ricer rigs.
pretty "interesting" pictures to say the least.
WTF is up with those innercoolers hoses routing out through the grill, and OMG those trucks/vans........heh heh, gotta dig some of the 6-7 foot tall vertical exhaust pipes too.......

You guys have no taste. Who wouldnt want an exhaust shaped like a star, I would do that to my RT but it has side pipes so it wont work. Now I may be stupid but wont they get really hot? Isnt it dangerous to have them like that?

With pipes that big, uou could just lean on the tip and it would sheer off at the bottom. Leverage, it's a bitch.

Small rims? THose are probably 14". Anything else would just suck away performance or look stupid.

Ok, stupid question time:
Is there a real reason why the back wheels are angled out like that?

Probably so tehy will fit without widening the fender. Also giving it camber allowes the tire to roll under the car when cornering increasing the contact patch size.

Nothing like misspelling one's own "name" and other movie title :nuts:
And because I know it's coming, here's a pre-emptive :fist:

Mad Max is the name of the movie, I've got 2 X's (just because it makes me feel special). Your dinging me for not putting the space in between Mad and Max? I did mispell roadwarrior though.
Oh yeah, fuck you [img]/images/graemlins/toothy[/img]
