Blimey, looks like something hauled from the wreck of the Titanic!

It would be if you could get sense out of people. :rofl: ;)

:rofl: Propper wrestling was with these guys though! ---> LOL

Ditto to what Legrath has said. They do look nice though.

I don't think you'd be able to buy the lines, so you'd be using a pipe making kit, in which case, material costs would be pretty small.

I think the only reason they have a chavvy perception was from the days of the RST guys. They used to sit in car parks revving their CVH turbos making the valves actuate. Ever since then, whenever I hear them, I think of that. I guess with Z32 TTs and the like, you're not expecting these types of car to make that noise. So I suppose that's where the appeal is.

I know it is mate. I'm only messin'. You know what I'm likr. Still dislike 'em though. ;)

No cause they are funny. ;) http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=118997

I haven't talked to myself since last week. ;)

Not having Dump Valves isn't boring. It's tasteful......and stock ones are better for the engine! :rofl:

TBH mate, I'd rather not go to a VW meet and stare at rusty junk cars. I haven't my tidy brunette, so I don't mind going to Jap car meets full of aforementioned invididuals! :rofl:

:confused:

Yeah, Rat-rods are kinda cool. But a decent painted rod in a kandy paint looks better IMO. :)

No thanks. Low riders and stuff on air suspension with 20" wheels can stay the other side of the Atlantic.

I was finishing my croissants mate. Food is paramount in nearly all circumstances.

Have you seen the new Honda Insight? When I saw 'first photos', I think it looked great....as you only see it from the front. This is by far and away one of the best front ends for a long time of a main-stream Jap car IMO.... ...but then I saw it on the road the other day.... :hurl: It's such a shame as the concept Insight actually looks pretty decent. But the production versions look horrid, bland and stale, just like the Prius.

I'd rather drive the Insight! :rofl:

My word, have you been taking drugs? LOL Hippy types get out of rat-look cars! I've seen rat-look cars at shows, tell you what, I've never seen any nice women get out of them. If you're into men, I guess that might be another thing. It's far from original. The rat-look scene has been around for decades. Predominantly a VW-scene thing, but has drifted to the rest of the VAG scene and now everyone is doing it.

Oh dear. :(

Joel, what's happened to you lately? You traumatised by something going on in your life? :confused: Firstly, white wheels, now this?

Rubbish.

Yeah the rat look is absolute shite. Purposfully going out to make something look crap is pretty sad TBH. There's a guy near me with a pretty tidy MK2 Golf GTi running on really wide BBS wheels. He's sanded down the bonnet and left it to rust. Can not see the appeal in the slightest. There's even a rat-look split-screen camper van in the town that I live in too. I mean, those are rare and worth a good few pennies. The pillock's sanded all the paint off, let it rust and then run varnish all over it. Here's a new-ish Golf that someone's done. Screwed a shitty old roof rack and some nasty brown suit cases to the roof. Really shitty craze. Here's a MK1 Golf in 'rat-look' guise. Now, I couldn't give a flying **** if it has a 300bhp Turbo engine in it and could leave Ferraris behind, I really don't. It look absolute trash and is pointless. I get the point of the rat look, but I think it's absolutely shite. IIRC, someone on here was going to do a rat-look Z32. You don't even need to make the effort to find a Z32 and make it shite as there are enough crap hangers around. Finally, click this to see the most OTT rat-look car ever. http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=18770 It's a bit like going to stare at rotting old Jaguars in a scrap yard. Quite how/why people think a peice of scrap looks cool is past comprehension. It's a mess and should be burnt. A rat-look fan would say that the roof rack was there for some sort of 'style'. I'd put it to them; how can a roof rack have anything to do with style? It's like saying a colostomy bag looks sexy. It's a purely functional item. My idea of rat-look is as below...

Such a shame about that bodykit.
