So I know everyone here hates stance, but I don't really care. I wanted to show you all this rusty, inoperable, piece of shit car that was more likely to be crushed than ever see the road again when I bought it, that I absolutely ruined.
"Looks low."
"It is."
( Disclaimer: That implied animosity at the start of the post; I was just kidding. I love you guys. Mucho homo . )

that's not stance. that's just low.
Needs more negative camber.
You look like a poster boy for a sperm bank in that photo of you on the hood though. Great job!

Whatever the fuck that means.
Also let me put more camber in the IRS car.

That looks damn good lowered like that.

Thanks, it's not even on the nice wheels yet.

And it's not even on the nice wheels in these pics!

I think it looks fine on the steelies. I'd drive it as is.

Well, you'd try to drive it as is, it doesn't have an engine in it right now.
Here's the new wheels:

I kinda like the old ones better, they have more character

Cool that you got those rims!
I may not like stance, but I respect you and your car. If that's what you would like to do to your car, then do it!

That's what I'm all about. Doing what you want with your car. Can't wait to start doing the performance stuff to this car next winter.

What are your plans? Just out of curiosity, why wait a year?

Still have to get the rotors drilled for 5 lug, tires mounted, minitubs made, the 1600 running, and then it's going to shows. The plans performance wise are Subaru swap, and eventually it'll be tweaked to Corvette power to weight. It'll be put on bags when we do the Subaru swap.

Sounds like it will be extremely fun to drive! Have fun and good luck.

Shave the beard and get a high & tight cut. Wear dress shirt with suspenders. Keep the car with that patina. Get mad hipster bitches.

Stance is in the eye of the beholder. Some are better than others. (I still want Oskar)

So do I! He's in the driveway.

you can probably remove any bushings you find in there.
That'll get you camber for daaays

Looking good! Can't wait to see it with the new wheels on!

You saw my new wheels right?

Haven't seen them yet, I just remember you mentioning them last night!

Holy shit those are awesome. When do you plan on putting them on?
![]() 02/23/2014 at 23:34 |

Hopefully mid next month temporarily. Have to get my brakes drilled for 5 lug, and the tires mounted. I say temporarily because we have to make the minitubs. Welding+Yokohama S Drives doesn't end well.

Well those are going to look killer on the car when they're put on! Have you done a disk conversion on this car? I want to do one on my Baja if I keep it around long enough.

Stock disks in front, drum rear, sorry buddy.

As itchy said, the old steelies have mote character but if you're going to go modern those are an excellent choice.

They'll make it look lower too, because the wheels will be tucking, not just the tires.
