Slammed cars makes the newspaper.

[mercyboy]

if he likes it he likes........there is no harm in that. But there is always a circumstance when making a car slamed......

It's a female reporter, I'm not surprised she thought it was news. You could probably blow her mind if you told her people use airbags to raise and lower there cars and purposely drop there frame on the ground while driving. Or people run hydraulics and hop there front tires 3 feet in the air while slamming the rear bumper on the ground, all while driving down the street.

When I started scraping the trans I decided to lift it up an inch. No sense in damaging my DD.

It's been popular longer than that, but the import tuning scene has been pretty "underground" until the release of the first F&F movie

no car in the furious quintuple can be considered slammed, imo

Sammed car are now Inches off the ground. To me slammed cars are mm from the ground.

Anyways I hope the newpaper reporter had the ok to snap dudes car.

agreed with first portion.....

photographers can take pics though of anything in a public area and reproduce it without consent...

I never had a problem scraping my trans, just the flex pipe and the frame at the center

The automatic you will scrape and rub a hole in I did that a couple times and just jb welded it every time. And the manual trans wont you'll just scrape flex pipe and cross member. and if you do the 5spd swap the cd5 mount way your oil pan will drag the ground.

I have some nice scrapes on my transmission, it has a modest 2" drop.

BIGRICH, did you fab the scrape plate? Have any photos?

I think the real issue at hand here is who still reads newspapers?
