I don't think what that guy did to his car has anything to do with looks. You run meat like that for racing...as can be gathered by the wear on the tread.
I'm of the mind that form follows function so i think the beauty lies in the fact that that sucker prolly sticks to the road like glue
adds a flare on the fendor so that it isn't as obvious it sticks out like a sore thumb...I do agree with Jason, I'm sure he is planning on taking it somewhere....
that thar be an autocrosser.... Kuhmo Victoracer V710s are stratight up DOT R-Compound tires. Tread? What Tread? all the V710s come with are a few "rain groves" More tire, more grip, more speed. This thing is HAWT. i love the look of big wheels/tires, and this guy is obviously hardcore.
fixed that for ya cuz you obviously don't get it. :biggrin: every time I look at it, it makes me want to do it to my car.....hmmm go pick up an extra set of fenders, and cut them out a bunch. and some removeable fender flairs (I wonder where those came from...they look sweet). run some big meaty R-compounds on race days. then swap front fenders, and pop off the rear flairs, for street tires.
hhahhha, you guys just don't know. That car IS an autocross car. He's running some STIFF coilovers the last time I saw him in CA. I went directly to the SubyDude shop to pay a visit when I was down there. The car has some 8kfront 10k rear springs. I don't know what's he's done with it now besides the wider tires, but, its one mean autocrossing machine though for those who don't know.
nah... with tires like that his going ice racin fo sh0. chux i am pretty sure those flares came off of ebay. supposedly they are kinda popular overseas (UK or was is it OZ?) anywho IIRC they are fairly cheap too.
