it's embarassing on my part to see a full page on this thread, bad talking another guy's ride........
especially someone who came out and supported the 'stance movement' from day one,
thats why the last thread disappeared - because owners were complaining about what was being said about their cars online.... receiving phone calls about comments that were posted.
then this thread was created to advertise sunday's meet; and so typical of you ppl...
the 'exact' topic came up once more.
don't you think that this would serve as a deterrent for others interested in joining the movement?
but i guess as usual...... ppl will fight down anything in here.
Wagon R, Darryl cud have lied to you and told you "coil overs", but he didnt...
purist or not.... that doesn't give you the right to advertise the man's business for the world to see.
he assumed as you being a photographer there: you were one of my guys, and it was all good....
seems that it wasn't.
As for SN...... the S-Line is used a street cruiser... point A to point B on fairly smooth roads, on the northern parts of the country. the owner has the car a few months, and sacrificed a coil and 1/2 as soon as he got it - to see how it may look, and if it's worth purchasing the very expensive/rare setup for the car. as you can see, it looks insane... so the setup is on order.
not sure if most of you know, but this particluar car comes stock with a lowered stance... so it just took a coil and a half to give it the slammed look.... which in this spring application, doesnt make much of a difference in ride once the springs sits back in place properly, and the springs are removed; cut neat and proper... and re-installed correctly. taking off 3 and 4 coils is different.....
on the other hand......... if this was an 11 sec evo on cut springs, that would be a shame.......
if you have noticed, we have chosen specific applications to focus on...
ie; euros, jdms, vips, etc.. etc..
the s-line's owner was not on speed when he purchased this car.... so top notch handling wasnt his issue..... he wanted a clean appearance... and a head turner... and this was definitely achieved.
when we say promoting performance... we stick to that. One audi can't change the show........
...... its either two things here..... you're mainly on looks, on you're mainly on speed.
WE... are all about the look. Stance is all about appearance... we capture this with photography...
photos don't tell if you're springs are cut or not...... or if your coilovers ride like sheit....
or how much horse power yuh packin....
however the Stance Nationals Event as oppossed to the Stance Movement itself, is
an exhibition event having tents to promote garages, speed shops and tuners....
showing how it is they setup their cars for performance and handling.... etc.....
the movement may comprise of various tuning applications which are not ALL performance dedicated, having a nice mixture of vehicles...... tuning styles to suit the personalities of the owners....... where as the event itself (sn1) places more focus on the commercial side (parts/suppliers etc.) and the ppl involved on the local performance and tuning scene...
WE don't go to ppl and say... 'yuh have to bring yuh bad car!'... it doesnt work like that.
as time passes - and word gets out.... more ppl become interested... and the turn outs are better...
the owner of the audi, as well as others we came out at our first meet are the ones who helped us get the ball rolling... despite whatever opinion you ppl may share of their rides...
and it's simple, the movement welcomes all.... that is anyone who shares our same interest.
so if you would like to something you're not seeing - then bring it out.... cuz that's what we're about. creating an event in which everyone can come out and represent....
and if you don't own a worthy vehicle, and you know someone who does... encourage them to bring it out. we don't go in a store, and pick out the vehicles we want to be there.... it simply doesnt work this way. it's a bunch of friends, who have friends, who tell friends and there are the one's who really like the idea... and come out and support.
so in time, we wish for this to only grow and get better.... and purer and purer........
there may seem to be double standards, but we work with what ever support we get and what we have present..... others see this and are compelled to indulge......
by your statements and negative remarks...... this would push interested person away, and resulting in nothing................ again, maybe that's why we are stagnant in motosports.... no unity!
so excuse me if i may have contradicted myself..... it has only been 3mths since i have started this entirely new venture.... the trick in getting all the vehicles in one place is knowing ppl..... and making these meets look inviting to those we do not know. my intentions still are the same....... and intime tuners will step up..... for now, let's all support the concept.
and finally, its all good being a purist....... but this isnt dex... so some of you guys are hooked on the scrutineering. these are all about exhibitions & displays....... that's why i said ' it doesnt matter to me how some of these guys achieve their look'..... on the other hand - the majority of 'speed men' involved are serious about their parts, and their performance presentation... especially the garages and shops that are involved. But there will always be the guys that are all about the look, the insane stance and low appeal... they do anything to get that look - and we jus love the look...
you really think at a hellaflsuh meet....... all the cars are 'hellaflushed' out ??????? no way man......
you get a mixture of all sorts of insane rides....... some hot and some not so hot....... but they all come out to represent and have a good time doing it. so ppl keep asking where the stanced rides,
all cars possess soe kinda stance or the other...... it's up to you, not us..... to get that stance ure looking for..... we're just here to gather them all and showcase them through some wicked pics....
so again.... it's either you're in or you're not............. haters will hate, and critics are inevitable.
there are sections of these meets for all the different applications & looks, so if you do not like looking at the audi on cut springs......... then walk over to the evos or the skylines and admire their brembos, their proxes, takatas, brides, defis, and all the other purist cosmetics we all enjoy looking at.........
if you dont like eating red beans..... then eat something else - no one is forcing you....>>> peace
