Guest l28et Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 The guy with the car at 3:09 is my hero...Also, the dancing guy was just a touch of class you don't see every day. I wonder if my new exhaust counts as bososoku? What happened to those 3 spoke wheels you had on there? They were the poop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNeedForZ Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Good mod, exhaust pipe and antenna combined into one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 What happened to those 3 spoke wheels you had on there? They were the poop... The Bridgestones were completely bald in the back, and had several plugs in the front. I've got some Falken Ziex 512s coming in from Miami Monday. 215/45R17 in the front, 255/40R17 in the back. I'll post pics once I get them on the car again. Plus I painted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdmz Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I am really glad you posted that video. I had only seen pictures of those cars before but the video, the sound, and even the dancing adds a whole extra something to the experience. The cars with the patio on the front are really nice, all they need is a deck chair and a habachi. The full grown Dub City cars are kind of ........morbidly curious. Would make the daily commute interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 LOVE the ENGINEERING, but its OBVIOUS useful input of some taste in design phase was far from a serious concern on some of those cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschiltz Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 There are cars like that in the PS2 game Katamari Damaci. I've never seen pics or vids of real cars like that, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I actually saw a Carolla 2-door coupe that had a wide body in that style yesterday, all it was missing was the exhaust... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiz Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Ah, very aggressive, Joe! I kinda liked the four little knuckleheads wearing matching half-helmets. Super ichi-ban! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Only one guy was original. The rest are copycats. It just goes to show that style is contageous, good or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Z Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Bosozoku. It's apparentlly a sort of a car sub culture in Japan, wherein they take the ideas of real race cars and exaggerate them to cartoonish levels. I think the super long pipes probably spring from the look of the old Bosozoku motorcycle gangs that rode around on ridiculous looking motorcycles with real tall exhaust pipes. Supposedly Bosozoku were a sort of pre Yakuza breeding ground. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84fzogNFf10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
