Justin Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 OK so I was bored. I used to do this on my little Yamaha RD 125 motorbike when I was a kid and always think tyres should look like they do on race cars on de telly Will post on car pics next.

Sharpie Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 hahaha cool I used to do this on my very first car, you would get a pen that had the white paint type stuff and just go over the text on the sidewall. You had to re-do it around once a month for it to look fresh and new. I too loved this, I must of got it from the TV too, prolly off some american cars or race cars ??

SkyJawa Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Sorry, but I reckon they'll look crap fitted to a Supra on road tyres rather than drag radials.............. Will hold off final judgement till the on car pics though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I did this years ago on my old Astra SRi - looked cool actually, I've got a pic somewhere, I'll try and scan it in tonight. I'm with HISUP on this, would like to see on the car first before even thinking about this ..... plus I'm sure I'll get RICER thrown at me from a certain member if I did this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 They look cool on 70s muscle cars with Hoosiers or something, but I can't see it working on a Supra . . . we shall see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Well I'm glad you did it and look forward to seeing the oncar pics. I've been thinking about doing this for years ! But almost everyone I told, laughed at me ! No offence ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outatime Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Photoshop surely? I remember the 'twin nurspec' I had white writing on my Jeeps tyres, it looked good on that but I don't think it would work on a Supra. Leave it to the 70's muscle cars...

Just tried that, haven't got a decent enough picture to blow up big to do the writing clearly We'll just have to wait for Justins oncar pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin said he'll post pics up next week, far too long to wait Soooo - just found this pic which I had a quick play with - couldn't do the whole tyre as I can't see the writing clear enough, the Goodyear bit was the only part I could see to fill in. http://www.mwhite.dsl.pipex.com/ImgMisc/whitetyre.jpg Whatcha reckon?

Aerotop Dave Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Well yeah, in a racing car with loads of other stickers it looks okay... mainly because it gets lost in with all the other writing! It looks totally naff on a standard Supra though. Why not go the whole hog - paint it orange, fit a 'comedy' tune horn, stick a southern flag on the roof and call yourself Bo (or Luke) Duke. Hmmmm. Wonder if it would get Daisy Duke into the car though... trivia - she had her legs insured for $3 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 OK here's an on car close up. The block of wood is chocking the fronts coz the rear is on axle stands. This also explains why there is a huge gap between the arches and the wheels. I like it, looks sporty (Outatime you got a long memory mate But it is real this time. You can laugh at it in the flesh on Sunday when I'm tearing down the runway at 160 and the paint flakes fly off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Looks alright actually, would be better to see a full pic of your car though Justin. Side on shot showing front and rear wheels and after the car has settled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
