Keep it clean like this. Clean is a hard look to pull off. Successful minimalist objects often have very strict choices about aesthetics, namely color. With something THIS loud on something so obvious as the wheels, you must keep it (the color) limited. Although my Volvo is loud with its green wheels, I have no other colors present save neutrals, and my lime green turbobricks sticker, thats IT, even I am pushing it a little.

Clutterd, overly contrasted stickers and doo dads RUIN the appearance of a car. I don't care the type of car, or the style of the build.

I could critique bad aesthetic modifications all day, for being redundant, non functional and in bad taste. Dont ruin the cool of this by trying to make it louder, as its an sti, and is inherently so.


I say your choice is a great one, now don't go ruining it!

I don't like how it looks from the front angle though because there is nothing else green. So i'm getting the sti decals for the front fog deletes in green too to help balance it out.

Lol, Viktor, I dont think ive ever seen your car.

Its all so relative to the situation, type of car etc... Im only talking in context of this hurr STI.

I have my own personal biases as well.

Here's Greg's old engine...now my office coffee table.

Gave it a quickie rebuild...used a belt sander to deck the block, honed the cylinders and slapped some paint, wheels and a top on it.

Cool.

I'd take orders if I had time...which I don't. A Jaguar V12 would be very cool.

I have loved these since I saw one on Top Gear using a 928 block

PRV - now that would be cool. On a "V" engine, I'd use the pistons to hold up the top. Just have them coming out of the bore and tilting. That would be cool. Maybe next week I'll unveil my chair idea.

I must admit Craig. You have some awesome ideas for office furniture. I really enjoy a 240 seat for a computer chair. Its about 100 times as comfy and supportive as any office chair, and it reclines too. :D
