Car: Mazda Demio :S Rep Power: 0  |  Airbags A few of my mates own ute's with airbags. (Not the airbags in the steering wheel, but the ones in place of conventional spring suspension). Im told that they can be great for performance or comfit, but these are neither. Totally pointless, but attract a lot of attention.  Have their own company which make em: West Coast Hoppers.Heres a vid of when they work: here Heres what happens when they airbag blows: here And heres an indestructible Hylux  here Playing around today at my house:  |

Car: Mazda Demio :S Rep Power: 0 | Just for fun.  Draging the back chasis along the motorway at 100K with sparks flying everywhere always a laugh. |

Car: Vauxhall Zafira 1.9 TDI Slush box. Rep Power: 58 | The second vid would make a great Avatar! I liked that alot, don't think many motors like that (or lowriders which that reminds me of) over here. Is that not quite expensive to do?

Car: Mazda Demio :S Rep Power: 0 | It is around 18grand all up. (6200 pounds). But cheaper if you do it yourself. A couple more vids: Dragging on the motorway: have to open in itunes sorry and 3 wheeling: 2.4mg, again itunes |

Lowriders with airbags are okay, but everytime I see one they seem to not have a proper coat of paint. Just a mock up of primered body panels. Whats up with that? | |

Rep Power: 13 | Haha, yeah, I know somebody who's done that to their car. It always looks weird to come out of the shops or something and just see the car sitting on the ground.
