I always thought the Rat Look was to avoid the cost of a decent paint job

just don't see how someone can say something is impractical and unroadworthy without ever having a look at something....
Who is saying unroadworthy? Impractical yes, any car that can't navigate a speed bump or dropped kerb is impractical (and that would include a factory made car). The word I used is sheep, doing the exact same mods that everyone else in the "scene" does because you are somehow compelled to follow. It's like the Borg collective, not an individual thought among them.

i wasn't saying the gas monkey truck was rat look (although it is a nod to it) i was giving an example of something this is rough looking on the outside but you can eat your dinner off the running gear.

Any car - usually a VW actually - with tyres ridiculously stretched over the rim.

A la this muppet:



About two years ago i was a few cars behind a VW jetta on the M4 near Maidenhead where one of his rear tyres decided to explode into little chunks in the fast lane.
Retarded F*ckN*ggets that do this do my head in.
I was once stuck behind a Mk1 golf so low and with suspension so hard that he could not do over 50mph, driven by a flat peaked cap wearing tard. This was on the A358 back from the M5 and I was in no mood to be held up!

These cars sat so low- they'll just be bounced straight off the road with there barely-there "suspension" - whats the point- cant even get over the average speed hump. Not worth it!

A Land Rover Discovery would be a better drive than these "performance" cars over a usual bouncy/pot-holed british road!

JDM modifying (Jap Domestic Models - i.e. only Jap cars)
If this thread is going to keep getting bumped we're going to have to correct this: JDM does not mean "only Jap cars".

I know that's what "JDM" fanbois think it means, but it doesn't.

The term "Japanese domestic market" (JDM, also "Japanese domestic model") refers to Japan's home market for Japanese-made vehicles from companies such as Nissan, Toyota, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Mazda and Honda. For the importer, these terms refer to Japanese-brand automobiles and parts designed to conform to Japanese regulations and to suit Japanese buyers.


what else does it mean?

No not an better, 2 cars with plenty of chrome can't be inspired by a dechrome scene, surely.


Is Cal an offshoot of SoCal?

It means exactly what it says - something sold in the Japanese market - that includes all European or American cars that are sold locally in Japan to Japanese market requirements.

Oh and "Jap" is as racist as (see, swear filter catches that one! Short for a Pakistani person...) so don't use it.
