Fanta Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 http://high-top-fade.blogspot.jp/2013/10/blog-post_14.html Say what you will about her, but I think we can all agree that no matter if it suites your taste of not, it's still a well executed flatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dred_85.5_TSI Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Oh, nice! Mine will look that nice one day after I strip her down and repaint. Minus the rear spoiler, 83 hood, and the side skirts. Add mudflaps. Edited October 15, 2013 by Dred_85.5_TSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 There's more than one way to lower a car! Tiny wheels are one. It's really clean and nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanta Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 There's more than one way to lower a car! Tiny wheels are one. It's really clean and nice though. It almost reminds me of the shakotan style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidjc Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Very clean... & the side skirts really add to it, as well the hood & air dam. Don't care for the stretched tires/small wheels, & whatever that "Yeller Bulb" is on the front quarter? Very sweet all in all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Is it just me, doesn't the scoop hood look better on a flatty? It just seems like a better fit to me. On a wide body it just seems kind of "busy". That is one really nice flatty. I wonder if he's got the SOHC 4G63? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that "yeller bulb" is a side turn marker that comes on Starion's everywhere else in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 typical ae86 flavour = wrong size wheels, poking out the fenders, stretch tires, negative cambereven the same side skirt popular with them. Dunno how "well excecuted", but most of em ride like crap toomust be a "rolla guy". Not my style either, but clean car tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 +1 wheels are too small but other than that it's a hawt car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwolf Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yeah not my tastes at all either. I am surprised no one pointing out the license plate RIGHT in front of the IC. That helps I will assume it was only put there for pictures but I don't understand why?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87redcat Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Nice, I'm sure if I show this to the wife she will want my 83 hood for her flatty. BUT its for my 87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That helps I will assume it was only put there for pictures but I don't understand why?? Because that's where Mitsubishi as the OEM mounting point for the bracket, which the OEM one typically comes out and up over the point of the bumper. Looks like he's not running an OEM one.

Starion86ESI Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I love how the car is cleaner than 80% of the cars here, yet people still hate. That license plate btw looks like the JDM hinge plate. At high speeds the wind forces it back, and at slow speed it drops. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k207/derickg123/Mt%20Baker%20Drive%202007/MtBakerCruise2007028.jpg Fanta, don't bother trying to teach shokatan or boso styles to people who don't get it lol. They want ballooned tires and a mad rake to the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psu_Crash Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I will never understand how anyone can think those stretched out tires look good, or are any kind of functional advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankbob Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Love the quality to the exterior build excluding wheels and how low it is, however thats the style these guys build car for that shakotan style. Im a huge fan of boso/shakotan flavour but I like to pick and choose what I want on my car. All Ive got right now is that silly white ring(I like it tho LOL) but Ive got more planned for my car. Compare this car to what you see driving around here in the states, japan is doing it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starion86ESI Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Good art is what you like, bad art is not what you don't like. Cars are art. Styling them is a art form. Some art is realistic(functional) some art is abstract (form). Hell cities were designed by guys who either thought an office building should look like an office building and others who preferred grandiose solomaic columns to add flair to a building.
