nice work on the sticker.... not really my cuppa tea but i respect a job well done. why dont you rotate the spacer on the left rear 6X9 so they are at the same angle?? just might clean up the look a little.

Some stickers look good.
Unique ones look better than the standard ones ie Nispro on Mitsubishi's, etc.

Although I wouldn't have either chopped springs ot locked diff.

I dont know why people are whinging about the sticker being cop bait.

Heaps of cars on the road have pointless shiny stickers plastered on them, it will just be another one in the eyes of the cop i HIGHLY doubt cops would put 2 & 2 together and pick it as meaning chopped springs and locked diff!

Personally i dont like stickers at all and have absolutely none on my car.

people say its cop bait coz having a shiny sticker on your car attracts the attention of the cops. i mean if you see two cars next to each other the one with the shiny sticker will catch your eye.

you dont like sticker... whatta bout an E-Series one

Sticker looks good. Motto is cool...if your car wasn't registered.


F%#&ing lockers and F%#&ing chopped springs.

I remember a few years back everyone on here would take the P155 out of VB/VL/VN drivers who chopped their springs and locked their diffs...now all of a sudden everyone thinks it's cool.

Locker on the street = Wally

I am the same, not a sticker on mine either

I like the design of the sticker though, looks pretty creative.

It's amazing how many people I hear about chopping springs now-a-days... Maybe I'm just noticing it more?

you want cop bait get

"**** the police" or "have another donut" or "police sux" or something like that

you may notice I spelt the first word wrong there, Human minds only need to see a few letters to get the gist of a word, cause its stars i put f followed by a c then uk so until the cop looks twice it looks like ****.

i went through the sticker phase when i was younger... well i had one anyway. Had an 85 Corona csi, was a great little car, had the 2.4mpfi motor, basically the injected version of the celica motor. 5 speed, lowered, 14" globes :P Oh and a big sticker on the back window that said "TOYOTA"... as though no one could tell if i didn't have it there

Whatever floats your boat.

Tis a differential which no longer behaves like a differential due to having the centre welded. Both rears spin at the same speed, no changes for corners, etc. Very bad for everything under the car's bum ;)

Ok, I see.

And who cuts their springs. It's dangerous and I can't believe people are so tight as to cut springs to lower the car, instead of forking out for a proper job. Stupidity like that is going to cause a serious accident.

I'd like to see some statistics that can claim that a set of cut springs are responsible for an accident.
i agree its not the smartest thing to do, but i'm interested in knowing that.

i lost a mate coz he had cut springs in his car. He had ultralows in his commodore and he cut a coil off them. was doing 100km/h on a highway, hit a pothole, back lifted up, springs popped out and the car rolled.
my mates still havent learned a lesson from it.
