Cars/General Automotive ruined my life.

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

what brand?

[freecat]

there's a few of those around where i live. spotted that one yesterday morning. if i had to spend 60k on a brand new car, I think it would be one of those. there's the speed, but mostly, the noise of the speed !!!

[mapclub]

^ freecat put some bbs lms and lower dat audi! stat!

About the only photo I could find of my first project car..had black bonnet and dishy BBS's when I sold it..

2.0L 18RG conversion

Close ratio box

Locked Diff :3

Bilstein Coilovers

Current Jalopy

new engine!

various whiteline bits with 02 sti suspension conversion etc.

Hopefully something 2 door and turbo on the cards for end of this year.. S15?..R34skyline?..just so sick of going slow!

[freecat]

oh yeah going slow sucks :/ ... but there's worse cars around.

i'll put some new rims and lower it in a few months, because in this town there's high speed bumps everywhere and even with my current setup i scrap the front bumper... i also got brand new tires in 15" and no cash for the wheels.

i think some black 5-bar rims would look good (i tried a lot of model on forza 3 !), ie something like that but cheaper.

[mapclub]

do it! With a silver polished lip I bet it would look awesome.

I'll be getting new rims when I get scared enough of my balding tyres / stop kopping jawnz

These guys are the most popular jap copies at the moment here. So hard to decide!

I was scraping a bit too until I had the midsection muffler moved a bit.. Hate speedbumps.. esp in a car that's slow anyway it's like kicking a man while he's down. Uncalled for.

[freecat]

rota wheels are included in forza 3, there's some model i really like. are there real downsides to copies (from good manufacterers still) ?

I have never had any bad experiences with Rota but I have definitely heard "stories" of suspect quality.

I would love to see more pictures of the Levin hatch. Especially the engine bay considering it has an 18RG. Currently building up my 18RG which sits in my 75 SR5 but so hard to find parts for the engine..

I wish I could help out It's a rare engine here too. The car has been through about 5 owners since I let it go. I really regret it now too.

Best place to find current owner or someone to help you out with that engine is http://www.toymods.org.au/content/ I think their joining conditions are insane still but worth it. No stupid posters on that forum at all.

^^

I have not heard anything bad about the Rotas, seen them on a heap of mechanics cars here too. At the prices they charge I think it's a looot easier to kop rather than waiting for a smaller set of genuine jap rims to pop up second-hand.

[renski]

I wanted an 86 and still kind of do but they felt too go-kart ish for me. same with the miata. I wish I never sold my s14 even though I had too many tickets.

[kiya]

I just put money down this morning on a 2012 45th Anniversary Super Sport Camaro.

I'm gonna wrap that shit around a pole so quick.

[Gatefold]

Murdered out matte black prius is just pathetic.

[renski]

I understand the ford chev rivalry but that boss mustang looks nice. I wouldn't mind doing circles in that thing.

[renski]

Gatefold. I know someone who did that out my way but they wanted to be ignorant because they have money.

Pics or it never happened.. jk. I pictured you as more of a hot rod, biker guy. Nice choice on the Camaro though.

I kinda am a hot rod biker guy.. i've got a Triumph Bonneville and a '55 Bel Air. But neither of those are daily drivers, i need something new, fast, and reliable too.

rolling around on rotas is fine in my book but if you plan to swing that thing around I wouldn't risk it. theres pictures floating around of a guy with rotas on a miata that were warping one direction from either auto x or drifting one event. if your trying to find decent wheels, try junk yards as they can be goldmine for parts. I like work wheels and depending on the model they can be affordable and offered in custom bolt pattern and offset.

[yea!]

last couple of cars

nice, man. dubaudi? I feel like I saw this at SFLGTG maybe 5 years back?

My car was in this state then:

Now (past 4 years) its... completed parted and dismal looking.

[TPR950H]

you at least you kept the jetta front end, yes?

Pics of the '55 please. Anyone one else on here drive a mustang?

[yea!]

^^ yeah still got it.

[TPR950H]

should have upgraded my suspension sooner.

IS THE FUCKING GAHTDMAN SHIT.

2012.

edit: car is awesome, will post pics when i wash the thing.

[renski]

kind of backwards. I had shitty suspension with coils and it took a while to get used to. im sure after a week of driving you'd be fine.

[tsxser]

Faccckk, damn Miata.

Welp, its starting to overheat, and I had seen some coolant on the ground, and it probably lost somewhere around 1 quart in a matter of a week. So I will be ordering this Thurs.:

Front Hawk HPS pads

Front Rotors

All 4 Brake lines

New Aluminum radiator

Hoses

nice, man. dubaudi? I feel like I saw this at SFLGTG maybe 5 years back?

the dude who bought it from me was from dubaudi. he also had a porsche green/grey r32.

[TPR950H]

^^ i remember seeing that on vortex. looked clleeeannnnnnnnn.

heres my R32 at its current state:

dont know why its so big:

[MagikBonez]

Im driving a black e30 but mine is in shambles as of late. I was also a little disappointed to not see a skyline when I heard all this talk of R32s

[freecat]

r32 golfs are probably a more rational choice. at work some 19yo dude was bragging about how he drove his brothers r32 and i immediatly thought of the skyling and nearly called him a liar and then he shows me a picture of a mk5 golf and i became jealous.

[TPR950H]

yeah, in 2004, people thought i was talking about a skyline.. and then i would say VW R32, they would say, whats that?

show them picture.

"so its a golf."

so now i just say i drive a vw golf.

Packerd 740 roadster TEH HOTNESS _)#T^*$*(_$^(_$(
