sounds neat but do you have big enough brakes to fit in the rims? Small brakes in big rims look ridiculous :poser:

Nissan makes a good 4x4, id go with a mid 80's king cab with camper shell and some 34's any larger tires and you will start to break shit,
unless you beef it up, im putting 1 ton axles on my bronco, but a bronco can fit on thin trails like a smaller Nissan, and go with the tall thin tires, wide ones are nice but in a thin trail they fuck you.
bielieve me, i was just about raised in a Nissan 4x4 king cab, there damn good 4wheel drives.

and yea, you better have some good breaks on that Volvo, those 22's will
fuck up those stock ones in a while and your stopping distance is considerably longer with stock breaks , im sure you know that though.

Yeah that explains how I fucked the brakes.

PiP · Post by **PiP** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 10:28 am

fucking up the brakes is one thing.
Rims is another issue. Basically, rims should be as big as it is necessary to hold brakes. If you buy big rims not because you bought big brakes and you keep the small ones then it's obvious that 1. you want to show off 2. you don't know shit about brakes. :look@mahcoolcarlol:

so basically a big rim should look like this

Extremely big rims show a lack of penis size and way too much free money.
I find people who drive new cars have the same type of complex.

The older I go in a vehicle, the less ripped off I feel.
Remember, I worked in the industry and you are mostly consumers.

Epic Fail.

Brakes are very important, and in my mind, a good set of brakes looks better than 99.999995% of any big set of rims.

Examples:

Z06

F430

911 GT3

I have a good Trabant picture, but I can't find it. I'll post it tomorrow.

I just bought a kickass Subaru Legacy 1991 4x4 Turbo a month ago.

Pretty much like this :

nice catch, old turbo legacys are pretty rare

talking of Subaru, they are about to introduce their first diesel-engine cars into the market. Diesels' big torque at low rpm combined with low fuel consumption and with Subaru's fabulous AWD, flat engine, trademark excellent power-to-capacity ratio should be really sweet.
Also, it's world's first boxer (flat) diesel engine

Hooray for boxers and their only surviving makers, Porsche and Subaru.

It was expected that Subaru would use Toyota's hybrid system (gay) but they went the alternative way and decided to go diesel (extremely manly). A smart move, considering that diesel cars are relatively rare here, and the ones you *can* get are benzes or Bimmers.
