Perfect example on how to ruin an Evo.
Those are cool because they are caricatures and are deliberately trying to look 'silly'
CARICATURE : a picture, description, etc., ludicrously exaggerating the peculiarities or defects of persons or things:
any imitation or copy so distorted or inferior as to be ludicrous
"Stance" cars are trying to look cool / good and are not caricatures therefore they FAIL big time.............

Lol im guessing noones actually looked on there then. Aside one poster 
None of the european members cars sit like that evo. I did think you guys would be a little less judgemental as I know you guys have a cool laid back look on modifying
Its only the japanese members which have posted cars like the evo. And as I know you guys are quite into the whole hellaflush style this was just an open invite for you to show how its done down under
Wasnt really expecting this thread to go this way. Lol
The evo was just to grab your attention, maybe should have posted a VW haha and according to the owner that evo still achieves full lock so its not fully pointless

When you posted that photo of the evo I had a feeling the thread was going down this route. Only in Japan would you see something that extreme. They seem to allow people to express themselves without all this hate backlash that exists everywhere else in the world. After all it is their car and they can do to it what they want. It's just a car after all, made from pressed steel and assembled in a factory, much like a toaster or a fridge. They saved their money for it and spent their $$$ modifying it.
An evo it is yes and we attach reverence to it because it's fast but it's just a car, one that isn't too rare either.

The reality of the situation in Australia today is that to own a modified car that looks really nice you have to be smart. Cops will pull you over and scrutinise anything that looks to them defectable, whether it is or not. I would love to roll in some Work Meisters with a bit of lip on the Legnum but my head tells me that they are just too good looking. I know that sounds stupid but I just don't want to be standing on the side of the road arguing with someone who will try ping you for anything and everything else while he's at it, just so something sticks. The beauty of the Legnum/Galant in my mind was that it totally sneaks under the radar as a performance car while at the same time still looking good. - 'those wheel arches, lights'
Hot rodders have been getting around this situation for some time by 'club' registering their cars. Their cars need to be older than 25 to be eligible but the rules are VERY relaxed when it comes to modifications. They basically just have to be 'safe' and well modified. From what I understand this is approved by the club appointed engineer/inspector.
You do however see Japanese classic cars at shows very regularly nowadays sporting club reg plates, a lot of them are what you would call 'stanced'. I am yet to see demon camber make an appearance and I can't see it happening either. No club appointed inspector would sign off on that.

Some examples of cars from all Japan classics day in Melbourne.
This RX7 Daytona is an original car owned by my friend. Aesthetically it is a true survivor car - original paint, original wheels(yes originally fitted with Simmons as wide as a Diablo). Engine is not original however.
This R31 was a bit of a standout rocking Corvette wheels.
All the burgundy and white number plated are cars 'club' registered vehicles.

Oh I see, that definately sounds like ball ache!! U guess my car wouldnt last long on your roads!! Lol
Im lucky in respect that I have a van for work, another car for shopping trips etc and my legnum is just a toy I get to play with and take to cruises and shows.
Generally speaking if I get pulled over by the police there normally pretty cool and understanding that im swerving around the road to avoid dips and holes, there would normally be a bit of piss taking (from them) but as long as the car looks safe and the wheels arent blatantly rubbing (mine only rubs when I hit a dip in the road) there usually sound and just want to have a look at the car. Having the correct attitude as a modified driver towards the police helps as well
But either way, you may quite like some of the less cambered cars that have joined up and posted pictures, the name is what it is because the group of friends that created the club (myself included) are all stupid as shit!! Hahaha
Im gonna repost some of them classics tho on there, if thats cool. As who does like a bit of retro jdm looks like a good show

Come on to an Australian VR4 forum and post a picture of a ridiculous evo in the UK... How did you think this thread was going to go?
People have the right to express themselves however they want, and everyone else has the right to express to them that they think it's stupid.
We aren't their mothers, we have no obligation to reassure them how special they are, no matter how much we like cars.

Cough the evo isnt in the UK cough
Sorry had to clear my throat
But I for one appreciate how much work has gone into getting that particular car to sit and drive like that static. I know how much work ive had to do to drive mine as low as I do and it wasnt easy or cheap, 51 polybushes for a start.
When you are trying to advertise something would you use a mediocre average picture or would you use something extreme. But again, as I think ive said I was only posting up on here as ive seen some good fitment on legnums on this site and I thought you guys may be interested to join in with a widely varied bunch of enthusiasts who are just sharing shits giggles and fitment

People are entitled to like or dislike whatever styles blah blah. Just keep it civil, guys. Life's too short to waste time and energy hating stuff.
Whoa, so many uptight people in this thread we need some WD40. The current attitude towards modified cars in Australia is this; "bigger intercooler, exhaust, conservative wheels and only front splits, NO REAR SPEAKERS, then maybe some lowered springs, if you deviate from this template, you're impractical and ruining a car, even though you own it". It's kind of annoying everything is such serious business here, especially on internet forums.
I respect anything that makes me go "cool, that's different". Just because I wouldn't do it to my car, doesn't mean it should be burned and condemned.
