TeamHT Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I think I see where navi is coming from, but every vehicle is made to carry some amount of weight. Every vehicle. What every vehicle is not made for is adding incredible amounts of weight and mass added to the wheels which affects stability, handling, and braking much more severely than carrying weight. One of the biggest things overlooked when upgrading wheels and power is the suspension, brakes, and axles. I've seen many rip when trying to gun it. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Dylank811 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I've heard the term Hellaflush a few time but still not exactly sure what the hell that is. My guess is getting the rims as flush with the lip of the wheel well as possible? lol 2004 Ford Mustang GTPioneer DEH-P7200HD head unitMach 460 Factory System Cadence FXA1600.2 Cadence S2W10 Cadence 4 AWG wiring Ported box, 2 cubes, 32 hertz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerman Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 He had a good point ... actually, no he didnt. I agree. Navi really didn't have a good point, or make a logical comparison. Upgrading the size of the rim wasn't the issue, so neither would the size of the subwoofer. A logical comparison would actually prove Hughs point. Upgrading the rims without upgrading anything else is like upgrading the amplifier to power the 18" sub...but nothing else. Anyone who knows what they're doing wouldn't do either in either situations. It doesn't bother me unless the person is really acting like they're bad shit with 26s, stock brakes, and suspension. My point was the "hazzard part" of what he said, he said rims are a hazzard, but he owns a smd woofer on big power and doing 150+ if that isnt a hazzard then i honestly dont know what is... @ht unless u have sat and driven in a car/truck that does over 150+fb even 46 at that, is a hazzard, you may see teh flashing lights, but as you may be corssing the intsresection when there is ambulance coming and t-bones you then what do u call that? not paying attention? looking for your sunglasses on the floor? searching for something in the back seat? what im also saying is, your chances of getting a ticket for big ass rims 20"+ is like really 3% maybe not even that, but as far as music the loud guys will get stopped every time for amplified unsafe listening levels... i mean i got big rims and few 18's soooo i guess i committing a felony in the state of California lol Well, i call this an ambulance driver not showing due care while crossing through the intersection (providing the assumption the that ambulance is going through the red light). Even thought the emergency vehicle has emergency lights and sirens, it would'nt be the car drivers fault for being t-boned by the ambulance. It would be the ambulance drivers fault for not watching the intersection before going through. And this isn't an opinion...I'm a cop and deal with this on a daily basis. Gave a firefighter a ticket 2 days ago because he was traveling 75 in a posted 35, without emergency lights. Not to mention at the time he went through, it was a school zone, putting the speed limit down to 25. Now, being that he didn't have emergency lights on, and it was his personal vehicle, i didn't know it was a firefighter when i stopped him. But when I approached his car, he talked so much shit to me and just disrespected me so bad, which is why I wrote the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
