...when it snows and your car dont move...




had that a few months ago, got towed by my friends land rover, I was the snow plow !

My miata isn't even lowered yet and my girl says that to me.

When this happens

you mean,

"you know your harness isn't tucked well enough when..."

Haha that's what I meant. I fixed it though. I <3 my height right now.

Thats "to low"?

I guess it's a "you're too low" thing, but more a benefit of being low. I pulled into a parking spot today and bottomed out on my exhaust, pushing it against my chassis. Presto! Parked on a hill with no parking brake!

Doesn't look like it because I don't have a bumper on. Not complaining, just sayin.

^^ that's def low enough bro. Your stance is bad ass, car looks bad ass and an upward control arm angle means you got a healthy dose of low, and a healthy dose of messed up roll center

Haha thanks dude! I just drove an event this low and the car feels awesome so I'm not gonna worry about specific suspension terms, angles and shit lol.

...when you know what the pucker effect is.
.... oil pans become scheduled maintenence.
..... you run stock exhaust only because its the only one that fits.
.... you keep a set of easy outs in your tool box so you can remove those ground down bolts.
... if theres a cop at a corner your supposed to turn at but you keep going cuz you dont want him to hear the sound of your tires murdering your fenders

Haha omg the last one! Yess

Please buy some aftermarket tie rods, when i was that low on stock tie rods my shit broke in one day and they were brand new lol >_<

Do you dudes let people ride in your car? An extra 170lbs and I'm all over pebbles and stuff.

Girlfriend is fine, as she's much lighter than any dude. I try to keep my guy friends who weigh a bit more out. I rub and scrape all over with them.

I have some new Moog inner outers but I don't think they're any stronger than stock. Either way they haven't broken yet so I'm fine haha

we all pile up in my car, i dont care of i scrape or break shit. im not scurrrrrred

'tude of a dude

haha yeah, I'm just saying, I bought all new moog shit for my s13 last year got the car running I then took it to the track and at the track broke a tierod after like 3 runs. i'll never again do that lol

You know your too low when your cd's are getting scratched from hittin the ground so hard

was a good cd to!

"You know you're too low when.."

...you can never be "too low"

/endthread

when you're driving down the street and all of a sudden you stop scraping...and think something is wrong/broken.

you know your too low when you cant get the car out your own driveway

or when getting your car in/out of your driveway is a 5 minute three wheeled, open diff burnout, frame bang fest.

or when this happens when you hit a manhole.

did that break off the diff housing? i wouldnt be surprised if the torque are is tweaked too

Lol



I usually stay in cringe position, tho. As if I'm the one hitting the road.



Ow

yep the front diff housing, think it can be welded back?

its cast, but yeah.

i'd call it junk though, thats all the support for your driveline angle. if anything there is misaligned you're angles arent going to be right, not to mention is the support for the tail end of your trans and your diff.

unfortunate.

double post

You go through the exit side instead of the enter side of those driveways separated by a little concrete center divide, and drive through it fast in hopes nobody is trying to exit as you enter, because you can't make it up the driveway in the little ass space they do provide. Hopefully this hasn't been posted yet.

Bahahaha, +1 on that one. ^ ^ ^
Had to do that going to Kohls yesterday.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Mind posting a pic/mspaint of this "split driveway"?

If your car is still drivable then it's not low enough

Google maps this address theres one near the mexican restauramt I go to

6339 E main street mesa az 85207

Kind of a sucky example but it sorta works

Thank goodness for print screen and Google Maps.



That stupid, sidewalk height thing. It's at the Bank of America I go to, at both of it's driveway entrances.
Except it's actually longer now and the entrance is narrower than in the picture.
Like the width of a parking space.
It's also common in a lot of parking garages in the downtown areas of cities.

Ohhh, makes sense now.


You know your too low when traffic parts to either side of the highway when your in the center lane. Ripping up road debris on overpasses ftw.

yes.

has it never happened to anyone else?

Did you not see it? How'd you even dip into one?

I busted my oil pan/ pick up screen on a road reflector, I have a skid plate too. Fuck I want a trailer and off road registration.

When your getting ready to go over a speed bump and you have to wait for the other on coming car to go to take it sideways.

slightly warped road (raised in the center), a slightly raised manhole, and the sunset in my eyes

Sigh. You know you're too low when your rear upper control arm rubs a hole through your shock body from trying to tuck 17's...bye bye PBM.

"for president"

When you have to pull the other car out of the garage to drive yours sideways in and you still get stuck on the step up =]

Sounds like you just have a problem that shouldn't be happening.

you have to take freeway entrances or exits slow and wide because your wheel well* will eat away your tire

whoops lol fixed

^??

when you go to unbolt your steering rack and the bolts are shaved off at an angle and are stripped (applies to miatas only)

Yeah. Stock uppers said NOM NOM NOM.

Just swapped on Stance GR+ Pros, new adjustable uppers and toe arms from my other car, and car is riding like a boss.

also like a brodozer.

I have no shame.

When your girlfriend crys more for your car when you bottom out then you do

+1 on that one ^ ^ ^
I just tell her to stfu and stop being a bitch.

Lol yeah I just laugh
Even though the other day my car ate shit on a pot hole going like forty thought I busted my pan, but I just shrunk 3inchs when compressed my spine when I hit the bottom
