Wow...

what are the numbers on that thing?

Its 542 hp 545 ft. lbs of torque at only 5 pounds of boost. I'm guessing at about 750 with 8 lbs of boost. Fun to drive but right turns are a b!tch

LOL right hand turns do suck with Hp like that :D

Congrats, that's awesome, I love it. Do the Porsche "afficianados" shun you for that? To hell with them if they do.

Re:
 

Well, there is Porsche aafficianados (sp?) and then theirs the purists, I'd say its about 50/50 whether they like it or not, either way they can't keep up. This motor still keeps me at a 50 /50 weight ratio front and back so it handles great, I just can't see that well to the right when I am driving. The blower is a HUGE blindspot.

Sweet ride, man. Seen it on Rennlist. :thumbsup:

I could have sworn I posted these already :confused:

You did, about 3 pages back! :D
But very nice, something I'm aspiring to, once I've moved on from my Baby Benz.
Love the plate, by the way. ;)

I drive (and try to keep fuel in) a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab 4X4. It's a great truck and I love everything about it except it really likes gasoline. It's new so I really hope the fuel mileage gets a little better real soon. Right now it is getting 13-15 mpg. The only mods to it are nerf bars (so the wife can get in!), an Aeroturbo exhaust and TrueFlow air cleaner.

Here we go: 2001 C5 Corvette Coupe

hmmm.... cant post the pic

Luscious and I are rolling this '89 325ic as of Thursday.
Rebuilt e-block with i-head, M3 specs. M3 clutch and tranny.

Still have to put my 16" wheels on it Monday, though.
Washed and waxed yesterday, so I'll need to take new shots later this week.
hmm, I'm going to try and find a secluded spot along PCH and get luscious to strip on the car.
Maybe do a spread with her girlfriend, hahaha, keep an eye out for it in exhibition.


LOL, she just pointed out that I've got her head, her car, and her breasts all on the same page.

I can't help but post....

http://www.hordepc.com/CarWreck/


for real.. unfortunately.. as of yesterday.

I'm 19 and from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.

My ride is a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am. 123k kms. Everything stock except the sound. It's my first car, and I love it.

2005 Mini Cooper S, Electric Blue with a white roof.

I'm 21 in Ontario and I drive a 92 Beretta GT. Currently has a 3.1 MPFI under the hood. I call it my budget Camaro, though I haven't decided exactly what I want to do with it yet. Possible future directions to take with it :

-swap out the engine with a 3.8L SFI. It'll be a lot of work, but if I can pull the drivetrain from something like a Bonneville SSEi, it's 100 hp gain right there without any modification to the engine.

-modify the current engine in there for as much horsepower as I can manage. I'll want a supercharger because I hate turbo lag in any form and can't be bothered with sequential turbos or messing around with spools. Before that comes the new heads, some headers and possibly dual exhaust with an h pipe, new cam and pistons, a new chip, new injectors and a new ignition, plus as much weight ripped out as I can manage. Note that these modifications are wildly out of order due to it being nearly 3 am and my being really fucking tired.

-leave the engine stock and concentrate on getting a better car to sink my money into. This is the loption I like the least, due to my desire to modify any car I drive ('never leave 'em stock'), but given my current cashflow it may be the most likely.

Either way I also plan on putting in massively upgraded suspension, looking into swapping the rear drums for a set of discs, a paint job and some minor bodywork to give it a bit of a custom look. My goal is to get it moving faster and handling better, with over 250 hp at the wheels.

Next car is a 79 Trans Am, with a blown, bored and stroked 383.

Quick edit, upon my realising how redundant that last statemnt was. Of coruse a 383 is stroked, but bored and blown all the same. At which point it's not really a 383 anymore. But hey. 3 am, that's my excuse and I'm standing by it.

LMAO....ya you can tell your tired...but a 355 with a supercharger is what I want to put in mu Camaro project car.........when I get one! :D

Im in Europe.

I have an Alpina b8 4,6. It is awesome. Will cruise at 155mph all day, max speed is 182 or so.

Got it very cheap though servicing and fuel costs are a astronomical.

It uses an all aluminium BMW V8. 470NM(350 torque) and 333bhp.

http://www.alpina-automobile.de/cms/...40/b8e36_3.jpg

http://www.fantasycars.com/sedans/bmw/alpina_b8.jpg

Only 250 B8's were made(mostly coupes and sedans, but also some estates and cabrios)

One of the best cars in the world imho.

i've got a 1973 1303 beetle with a custom build cased twin cam engine...my wee baby...was going to post pics but don't seem to be able to...

2003 Toyota Tacoma
 

Here's my current daily driver - And I might add that I like it even more now that gas prices are going through the roof. The first two photos show it with a set of Eagle GT-II's installed... They were great for the road, but I needed something that could handle the sand at the beach, the occasional soft dirt, and boat ramps...(I pull my friends small boat occasionally)

It's a clean little truck that really takes a beating, and gets me anywhere. It'll pull a decent sized boat out of the water, and with the AT's not spin on the ramp. When I take it easy, it'll get about 24mpg in town, and on the highway it'll give me 28-30mpg. It beats the Ford I had hands down, but I do miss the extra room. This is the FIRST vehicle I ever bought with economy in mind...and these days when I see a hummer or big truck rolling down the road I shudder at the thought of having to fill them up with a tank of gas. $35+ is bad enough for mine.

You've got to host your own, or elsewhere then link back to them.

1995 Green Ford Taurus

190,000 miles and still going strong.......kinda.

That's an awesome car!

Me? I got a...

2005 Honda Civic SI [ Canadian Version ]
Nothing put on it and probably won't put anything in it. It's fine the way it is. And cmon, it's a Civic. I see way too many ricer Civics out there. If I'm going to put anything in it, I'll put some techincal modifications rather than aestetics.

I'm thinking of getting a Tiburon Tuscani or a Mazda 6.

My favorite ride is my '05 Rocky Mountain Slayer, mods include removal of the big ring and addition of a rock ring/chain guide, 8" rear rotor, Saint rear deraileur and hub, Mavic 729 disc rim and bolt on grips.

My other rides are '92 Ford F250 Diesel extra cab longbox 7.3l diesel. Mods include Banks sidewinder turbo, dual 3" straight pipes, injector pump turned up. Makes way more power than stock.

I also have a '93 Toyota Camry wagon with seating for 7. No mods other than a bike rack on the roof.

The Tiburon is a pretty good little car, and you get quite a bit of bang for your buck.
It also rated pretty well with the NHTSA in it's crash test results.

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ncap/Index2.cfm

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ncap/cars/3517.html

Heh. It's a nice little car. And the things you get included in the vehicle for the amount you pay, it's a bargain. And thanks for the test results, I didn't know they were THAT good for that car. :)

Yeah...I was actually impressed myself.. I knew Huyndai had an pretty good overall record in general, but the 2006 Tiburon was pretty excellent.

Here you go folks,

This is a video clip made up of pics we took on a vacation we took in 1993. Mt best friend and his girlfriend and I took a trip on our bikes. It was a low budget vacation, but a blast just the same.

My Motorcycle Vacation - 1993

The filesize is almost 17MB so be patient... I set the pics to a couple tunes by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Oh, and my apologies for the poor sound quality.

We took off from Copperas Cove, TX (near Ft.Hood) rode to a small town just east of Waco where she lived, picked her up and hit the road. We drove all through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Oklahoma before giving up on Mothers Day 1993 after getting rained on one too many times...we hauled ass back in a rented 10ft Uhaul truck. Our bikjes were both Yamaha XS1100 models, mine a 1981 and his a 1979 (or 1980 - can't remember).

We got to see some beautiful contry, ate good, spent several nights drunk (Jr's Ribs & Bar in Nashville for one) and had a blast. We didn't have much money, but on a budget of about $400 a piece, spent 8 days and 9 nights riding and just enjoying ourselves.

Enjoy!

Wow. That was a great movie. And those were some awesome bikes :P Oh, and also. Lynyrd Skynyrd is awesome too =P. heh.

400 bucks a piece for 8 days and 9 nights is a pretty good deal. From what I've learned throughout my years, you don't have to spend any money when you go out with best friends, because if you spend 500 bucks or spend 0, you're just going to have the same great time.

... and again, those were some awesome bikes

Thanks zVp. They weren't anything special....just good old straight bikes. If I had it to do over again.... I would never have put some of those goofy stickers on the gas tank. It was a pain in the ass to remove them, and I ended up painting the bike because of it...

I did all the work on both bikes, from regular brake jobs to fork tuning, to carburetor rebuilds.

My bike started off as a plain Yamaha XS 1100. I had the seat reupholstered, and added that little patch of crushed velvet on the back for the ladies. I added Dunlop touring tires, rebuilt all 4 carburetors, added new handlebars from a Yamaha Radian for quicker turning, and last but not least a new set of 4 into1 exhaust. It wasn't Vance & Hines, but it was a lot less expensive. I tinkered on that bike all the time, always trying to get a litle more out of it, and adding new grips or something. I even hard mounted & wired in a cigarette lighter so I could grab a smoke & not have to stop. I just slowed down to around 30 mph or so, and kept the cigarette in the palm of my hand so it wouldn't burn up so fast.

My Buddy's bike was in better shape cosmetically when he got it... but we still went with new handlebars like mine, new tires & brakes like mine, carb rebuild, and new exhaust. One thing I had to do with his was install a small luggage rack/backrest since he hauled his girl around a lot. She wouldn't ride without something behind her to make her feel safe. Now we didn't go with a factory accessory, but rather one that was cheap and had to be modified to fit. I also had to relocate the rear turn signals and their wiring so that the rack would fit, but it came out pretty good, and she was happy so it was worth it. I liked having to make women put their arms around me to hang on...so no luggage rack for my bike.

The fastest those bikes ever ran was one morning after I had spent all night doing carb rebuilds on Shawn's bike. I goofed and didn't mark all the vacuum lines, so when it came time to put back together I had a hell of a time trying to get it to run right...and I was damned if I was gonna take mine apart and risk two bikes not running. I finally got it right about 7am, and it sounded sweet, although our neighbors hates us for all those "sweet" sounds. I still had the seat off, so I just laid a folded towel on the frame, sat on it, and proceeded to take it for a test drive. My buddy rode along on my bike in case something went wrong. I got it out on a 4-5 mile stretch of US 190 headed east towards west Ft.Hood...rode to the WFH exit, and everything ran good. Now to open her up and see what she had.... His speedo was an older model than mine and showed 0-160 mph. Mine stopped at 85mph (but both bikes were within a couple mph of each other in top end). I tucked down onto the tank, and ran it for all she was worth. I got to within 1/2 mile of the city limits coming from the east when I had to back out of it, and get slowed down before I got a ticket I didn't want. Top end? 154mph at a little after 7am on a sunday morning... SWEET! Needless to say we never ran like that normally, but it made me respect those bikes all the more. It was nice to have that extra power to get out of a sticky spot when necessary too.

Anyway.... Thanks for the compliment on the bikes. I really miss riding a lot. I am really considering another motorcycle once I get my Tacoma paid for! :thumbsup:

2002 Mazda Protege ES. Bought it last month.

Nice ride.... I bet it would look great with a new set of wheels and some window tint. Any plans for add ons?

Nice set of wheels... A HS buddy of mine had one when we were still in school. Seeing your picture brought back memories.

I know my SLK is back around page 2 of this thread but I don't think I ever put my NSX in here.

My 1995 NSX, #712 of 780.

You read my mind. New wheels and window tint coming up. New wheels and tires will be on her by the end of the fall and window tint come spring. Do you think I should go with 17" or 18"? Most Protege owners put 17" on their cars max and it looks quite nice. 18's look a tad big for the car on the pictures. Thoughts?

just bought a 2005 GMC Canyon Crew Cab Z71 SLE in dark red. Yesterday.
my wife drives a 2004 Dodge Stratus in green.

I'll get pics when I can

So this is my new baby.
I guess I have a thing for cougars, my old one is the silver one a couple posts up.

Ohh how I adore this car! :D

This is my other 1990 nissan stanza, paid $280 for it and is 120 miles shy from 220,000 miles on it. It's rusty and the has a bunch of little problems with it but it gets 31mpg and still runs and shifts like it is new.

22 Male born in Cali, Live in Hawaii, Stationed in Korea.

03 Subaru WRX, the only changes I've made are in the sound. I have 2 10in JL's in the back (W0's) with a 1500 watt amp pushing only them, and component mids in the doors. Thinking about upgrading to and STI though.

I am not a fan of the huge wheels you see on everything these days, especially on trucks. But, If I had to choose between 17" or 18", I would go for the 17" hands down. That gives you a little more room for rubber. Also, after looking at the pictures again, 18" wheels would be pushing the envelope a little much...possibly creating clearance issues.

Some good looking wheel & tires, coupled with some fresh tint would do this car right. Would love to see pics when you are done.

Currently:
2005 Ford F150 XLT 4x4, regular cab long box, 5.4L and automatic.
2002 GMC Savana 3500 extended cargo van. 6.5 diesel.

1999 GMC Sierra 1500, regular cab short box, 4.3L and 5spd standard.
1969 Chev CC20, regular cab long box, 350 and auto.

Never owned a car, but lots of motorcycles, including the two in the garage, a 2005 Kawasaki KX250 and a 2002 TM 400MX.
