01silvapathy Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Once you go black, you'll never go back. If your going to be wheeling a pathy, the wheel well doesnt exactly seem like the ideal place to locate the AIR INTAKE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekazgtr1984 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Once you go black, you'll never go back. LOL, indeed. Both sets of wheels I've had on my R50 so far have been black so I'll stick to what's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoPathyGo Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Epic Fail. Who lifts a car anyway?! The person(s) responsible for this deserve this: But think of the ground clearance!!! Why mess about with piddling little "subframe drops" and "suspension lifts" when you can have that ??? "4" lift ? 2" lift ? HA! My Hula Hoop lift laughs in your general direction!"

tekazgtr1984 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'd like to see the douchenozzle attempt to wheel his lifted car... Methinks those wheels won't stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovemyPathfinder Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Came across this pic a few months back, and absolutely fell in love with the wheels on this truck. Well, the whole truck is just awesome but I'd love to know what kind of wheels these are. That is the coolest looking r50 i ever seen! i want those wheels and the lift.

tekazgtr1984 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 That is the coolest looking r50 i ever seen! i want those wheels and the lift. Indeed, it is a super nice R50. Those wheels are nice but impossible to find. The lift is a subframe drop which is custom. I'd rather the engine 'cause it's turbo diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovemyPathfinder Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 i think i would rather have the gas engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A V8 yes, but there goes the wicked mileage. A L4 turbo diesel is a solid option for any SUV because it offers responsiveness, consistent low-end torque and amazing fuel economy. A lot of people make the assumption that diesels are loud and rattling; not the case when it's a 3.2L 4-cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally interested, Dave. Money's just not my friend at the moment... When this new job starts and I start makin' the fed cash, I'll prolly get you to send me all kinds of R50 goodies. It's nice to have friends down under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
