i like LEDs/Neons, though as with anything it can be done the good way or the bad way.

i have seen 4WDs with them and that is just silly.

i have a particular setup in mind for mine and i still think they are as much for the driver as they are for anyone viewing your car. though in saying that, i don't really care whether anyone else likes my car as it is an expression of myself.

some of these points people have made about you not seeing them... what about bodykits? rims? etc... why bother with a style at all?

-if i owned a GTR i would remove all badges, even the GTR badges. some people will think that crazy but i don't like badges, i know it's a GTR and that is all that matters.

omg a hummer? wtf?! theyre nuts. LOL

ive seen neons of a jacked up 4by, that was a good laugh, looked ridiculous but it was funny.

Seen neons on lil jap/korean cars with no other mods, driven by old people. funny.

seen a Bus driving around kings park etc with blue underbody neons

The line of sepparation occurs along the performance and knowledge areas of someones background, I am guessing here. Most guys even under 20's who are performance enthusiasts would knock back neons. On the other hand young people who are after a car for an image and are caught up in fads more readily go the neons.

Agreed, I'm 18 very performance orientated, do mostly my own work, and would never have neons. by the time my car is 'finished' you won't be able to tell it from a stocker, love the sleepers.

Not a fan of neons, too much 'look at me' value, and is asking for you to be pulled over.

ahh the mighty can of worms thread seems to turn up evry 3-4 months

do what you want if you like how it looks go for it but be prepared for others to hate it

mates a commonwhore fan (hes owned like12) i love imports and four bangers we pull the piss constantly but respect each others choices

is it only blue neons that are legal over there or anything? they attract all the wrong attention here (melbourne) if you use em on the street though, from vandals and from cops.

always wanted to install yellow LED's under the car, in two halves divided down the middle of the car... lots of em, and wire em up to the indicators so when you turn half your car lights up :)

LoLz....most young people like neons. Generally, the older citizens of this nation do not appreciate them as much. Pehaps the "subcultural" group he is trying to gain the attention of are the youth of today, and not that of the older, more mature generation? :)

crap

i have neons in my footwells and i like the look of them on some cars

Good on Mirks for making his car how he wants its and not bowing to pressure to conform. "RICE is in the eye of the beholder"

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine
