Its plain to see that a few memebers have not seen the bB in its native home land. The bBs in japan has this trade marked effect on their suspension and if I am not mistaken a lot of memebers have the bB logo on the front of their rides. Now the opr8r has the same emblum but has taken his modding to the next level of JDM style. I thought we wern't a bunch of haters wheres the love? :?

Props Opr8r

and Japan is about the last country to use as an example of good taste =)

I totally respect your opinion, however... the Japanese VIP Wagon clubs and car culture is the first place I look for inspiration. Afterall, it was through seeing what they've been doing that got me interested in the first place! To each his own.


Peace,

Props to M@ and Van for the first to dare to Camber an xB here in US. Man, your box looks like it's from Japan which is so different from the cars you see in that movie 2Fast 2Furious which suppose to capture the My-Ahh-Muh Import Car Culture.

so much hate :twisted: flying around... and dammit no one is answering MY question!! how is toe adjusted?

either way, those of you who don't like, fine... but remember a lot of us bought this car because it is a japanese import, and we like the design/styling that they have... so we look to them for inspiration like opr8r has... socal guys, go check out SuperAutoBacs and look at the bB bibles, you'll understand where all of this comes from then. If you don't like, eh well not all of us can see/like the origin light

I hope you're not talking about cars since our Scions were designed in Japan and you bought one.

i'm not a big fan of the extreme cabmer look, in my book i think the wheels belong *under* the car, not out the sides, but thats' why my car looks the way it does.

but serriously m@ get's MAD props for doing his box up with the TRUE JDM style!

once the front is cambered it'll look so JDM it's just sickness VIP wagon styles for sure, and with all the other JDM mods he's got going, he's definatly one that's innovating, and i'm sure there will be loads of people follwing your lead man - good work, sorry i missed ya at exposed, that would have been wicked to see in person!

M@---
So, when are you moving the shifter to the steering column? On xB...now that would be bad-___!

Big congrats on the camber, your mods must be keeping you and Van up really late! Props.....

I think it's 'Utterly Disgusting' when your car looks like this /----\ from the rear....

Just not very attractive if you ask me... I don't care what the benefits are... Ughhhh...

Hey M@, I read in previous posts that you were running 17x7's +25. What size tires were you running and how much was it lowered? Also any rubbing problems? The new setup looks hot! I was in Tokyo a few months ago and saw a few bB's like that. Real sweet. Thanks!
