i guess we're different in the nissan section. we make fun of each other all the time and call each other pussy and shit. just tryin to help push boundaries i guess. semi-destructive/semi-constructive criticism lol. but yeah it helps each other strive for better

now brian/lindsay's cars. they are 'too low' for street in my opinion. but regardless its gangsta lol.
all im sayin is anything is possible. but i dont think many ppl are pusing each other in terms of these boundaries

mind you we're aware of the pinion and thrust angles that are affected let alone bump steer and tie rod stresses. but we live with it. makes it quite nerve racking but fuck its exciting lol

Will has a point about city driving. But I'll go one step further and say "driving" period. I guess the roads down under are substantially better than here. Here's food for thought, if I'm complaining about rubbing and bottoming out in my car, then you guys would total your car if you drove here!! I mean come on..... you've seen my car it looks like a Land Rover compared to some of those Nissans. Kev, I can guarantee you that you'd be done about 1/8 mile from my house and you wouldn't make it up my driveway. I go "tripod" when I pull in, I can't imagine what would happen to you guys. Regardless I'm jealous of peoples' roads in different parts of the world

Some of the roads that I take on my way to work are the crappiest I've ever seen. Before I started my current job, I planned to put some coilovers on the SI but now, no way! My car with the stock suspension takes one hell of a beating as it is. Either I need to get a different daily driver, or find a new job.

After quick consideration, I will find a daily driver and submit the SI for more projects

Seriously this is so true. You might say you guys have bad roads in some places there, but not only is pretty much every road here murder to our cars, its the parking lots, entrances, and the absolute worst speed bumps that had to have been designed by someone with down syndrome.

lol there are some speed bumps here that are elongated so that when your front wheels are over it, bam, your stuck. i got stuck on one in indiana.

speaking of which, the roads in indiana are the worst. eeything is cracked, everything is one way and parking is rediculous. my cars not even that low and i still have trouble with it, plus im going even lower. the main killer here though is hills. im going to have to start parking on the side of the road now, since its so hard already to get up my driveway.
