I wish fireworks were legal so we could do stupid shit like this :(

as if legalities stop people from doing this.. do you think its legal to shoot fireworks at each other in USA?

lol we were doing this on new years.. its f**kn hurts

Just read that thread LOL everyone copying what they are doing and causing problems in their community? How did this shit start. People copying eachother. Eg. Momo

I'm sorry that there are a shitload of cars on there, with differing fitments..

Like that 202 BMW on classic BBS' yer

He copied someone.

Or the Camry on SSRs. Yeah he defs copied some body.

Points in the thread were raised. It's hard to not see where both sides are coming from.

Sounds like a bunch of music emos to me. Waaaaa everyone likes my favourite band now...I knew them before they were famous, even though people knew them before me too...

What was ever cool about cars that handle like shit and can't be driven properly on he road anyway? Never saw the appeal, they can keep their trend afaic.

that SW thread brings the lulz. so you think douchebags with oversized wheels and massive fender gap dont already exist? and if they did suddenly appear in droves following the release of a single magazine (lol), how are they associated in the minds of cops to properly stanced cars? because they look "modified"? by that definition, every single r33 and VL in vic should be on that forum.

also, if there are more stanced cars, the pressure on individuals is reduced. the more encounters cops have with cars that look fast but aren't really (lol Mo), the more chance that they arent gonna bother to pull you over.

its fairly easy to protect your community. SAU have managed. sure some of us get hysterical if there's tyre squeal at a meet, but the end result is that an officer is more likely to go "huh, you're with SAU? ok carry on".

exclude idiots, not fanbois. because you are all fanbois anyway

not a fan of that model. ugly taillights, front looks like an fto and interior/center console is hideous.

imo

Why you gotta break my heart brah :(

I reckon they're porn. Boomerang tail lights ftw. Shout outs to my useless ex whose dad has one

More so a bunch of fags that'll mar the image.

The same way you would want blood if somebody dropped a patch while leaving an Sau meet ash.

With more people comes more dickheads

You shouldn't have taken that bait...

It has absolutely nothing to do with what SAU is what so ever.

End of the day "stance" and "fitment" has been occurring since at the very least, the 1980s lets say. Probably earlier but for the sake of the conversation lets just pick that.

In semi-recent times someone(s) has simply put a name to it and tried to create a "lifestyle" around "stance". The very creation of a blog/forum like Stanceworks was promotion and "main-streaming" of it. Then there are the stickers every kid on the block has on his car. Every Tom, Dick & Harry talking about "stance" like it's the new "cvnt".

It was inevitable this current re-naming/branding, and that's exactly all it is, a would become main-stream.

Just like the flat cap/singlet wearing/tattoo'd/pierced monkeys walking around now. 5 years ago there was hardly any, nowadays I walk through the CBD on a Sat night and every 5th person looks like that.

I tell you now there will ALREADY BE muppets in the "scene", I know of a few as it is. It's a fact of life.

End of the day these "stance" kids created nothing. All they did was take someone else's idea and run with it a little harder, lifestyle blog, market it etc etc. They only have themselves to blame for what it has become.

It was always going to turn into something that someone would try and gain from commercially on a much larger scale given the following that's been created by it's own followers. Stupid business not to do so really.

Any culture, lifestyle or hobby will end up with a magazine.

So to finish - Here you go stance kids

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
