Well what most people DONT do, which everyone should if you're gonna black out your tails, is at least swap over to an LED bulb. That helps a ton, but i agree, it sucks when you cant see cause of bad weather.

The only issue I have with this, is leaving it to the cops discretion as to what is considered Hellaflush. Yes, they have a "definition/guideline" to follow but this will be abused. I already know of one person that has been harassed by this new law and this person's car is about as "hellaflush" as my car... My car is not even close to hellaflush.

I didn't get into the whole hella-flush scene anyways. I hate restrictions though.

I'll take 100% 315 under cornering forces over most of a 175 that's half unloaded under cornering forces because of camber arcs and suspension compression.

(Although I know the amount of camber required to get 50% at a standstill will probably not result in 100% under cornering.)

Hellaflush is Hellastupid. .02ct.

funny story this is lol
I'm curious though. Do hellaflush guys actually drive these cars or are they just for show?
I haven't seen too many on the road.

Lots of them here in nyc, mostly Hondas and they try to race you.

every time i'm bored and decide to subject myself to one of the "tuesday tuner" meets (this is only if i'm really THAT bored and wanna get out) then about 50% of the cars are stanced or working on it. obviously none are trailer to this type of event either.

also for example when driving home sunday i drove past a group of 5 subies that were all riced and stanced. now you wanna talk about cars that strayed far from the path of what they were intended for then it would be a stanced subie lol

speedfreek · 08-14-2014, 08:43 AM

I think we are blowing this way out of porportion. Clearly the subies you saw this past Sunday that were stanced along with all the others are just preparing for going back to the future. October 21, 2015 is coming up fast so they only have so much time left to get that stance to the max!

Z1NONLY · 08-13-2014, 07:23 PM

I just think we should be careful banning things that we deem "stupid".

In fairness... Most people kinda deem this dangerous as well.

vividracing · 08-13-2014, 07:49 PM
