[ChocolatePuddin]

Love it so much.

 

[mrklaw]

sold the Z4, bought a 2001 Boxster S. Currently spending some time/money getting things up to snuff - its a little worn and torn from age, but only 48k miles which isn't bad.

Not sure I like it yet, but I'll give it some time to grow on me. Annoying whine coming from behind me - replaced the serpentine belt and one of the idler rollers but its still there. Sounds like a vacuum cleaner which is very irritating.

 

[Shawsie64]

gave it a long overdue clean on the weekend

 

[weeneo]

here's my everyday travel fellow. 280.000 km / 173 983,934 miles and it's still pretty reliable <3

 

[Shawsie64]

I like Im thinking about buying a BMW as a daily run around, the evo is a bit rough to be driving everyday as much as I love it.

 

[cajunator]

Bimmers seem pretty popular around here, but for us poorer folks, how many of you own a Ford Fusion?

and I wish the insurance costs would be reasonable for one of those EVOs here in germany. But it's just ridiculous :/

A thread that I should've had posted in earlier, seeing how much I love cars and whatnot

Anwyay, I'll post info on my current two cars, but here's a short list of the previous cars that are worth mentioning:
- 1992 S13 (CA18DET, my first "enthusiast"-type car, ie not my daily)
- 1999 GC8 Impreza WRX, 340hp
- 2003 JDM Impreza STi
- 1999 DC2 Integra Type-R with a K20A2 swap. Made 250+ N/A HP.
- 1990 RX-7 FC3C (C for convertible! )

So yes, in case you haven't figured it out already, I'm a sucker for japanese cars..



Which brings me to my two current cars - one is a project car, the other my daily.

First up, the project car - 1996 Nissan 200SX S14 kouki (yep, 200SX, it's what they're called here in Europe, since we have the SR20DET as the standard engine).

The spec list is pretty long, I guess most of you wouldn't bother to read through it, but in case anyone wants to read it, I'll gladly post it

A summary though would be:
* Forged internals; Eagle rods, Wiseco 86mm pistons, ACL Race bearings all over, all studs are ARP, GReddy oil pan
* Ported and polished head, reworked combustion chambers etc, GReddy valve springs, Crower 272 IN/EX cams
* GReddy intake manifold, JECS 1200cc injectors, Bosch 044 fuel pump
* Custom exhaust manifold, Precision SC5857 billet turbo, Tial 44mm wastegate, 3" exhaust
* GReddy Type-M intercooler, Z32 MAF, A'PEXi PowerFC, Audi 115R coil packs
* BC Racing coilovers, then there's braces for struts & chassis, camber arms, stiffer ARB's etc
* Bride mounts & seats, Bride wrapped arm rest & shift boot, Autometer/AEM UEGO gauges

Wheels in the pic above are Work VS-XX's, I also have a set of 18x9.5 Volk CE28Ns

Right now it has just been fitted with a Vertex body kit that needs paint, then putting the new engine setup together. Will be running E85, and it should break the 500 hp goal I've set for it


Then there's the car I actually use, haha.

2002 JDM Impreza WRX wagon.

But it's not stock either:
- LHD conversion with full STi interior
- STi EJ25 2.5L engine
- 2007 hawkeye front end conversion

So 270-ish HP in a wagon isn't half bad

 

[mrklaw]

nice. Is it a standard JDM STI wagon, or you've just converted it to STI spec?

 

[deviant1]

Squared: Beautiful cars, love that STI wagon.

Just got new rims on my 2011 WRX. I need coilovers badly

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Love it so much.

What car is this?

 

[3N16MA]

What car is this?

Volkswagen Scirocco.

 

[Calion]

Do not adjust your monitors. You are seeing hints of purple and brown in the paint. As I've mentioned before, it's Black Cherry. I had a few new pics taken a few days ago. The car is now sitting 1.5 inches lower all around.

Beautiful car. That'll probably be my next in 5 years or so. Is that Cat-back OEM or after-market?

 

[The_Monk]

What car is this?

VW scirocco

EDIT: beaten

 

[DefectiveReject]

Some nice rides you guys have

I've just ordered a 320D efficient dynamics BMW (company car low tax and emissions)
Put me to shame

 

[Brera]

Was never a fan until I got one. Handles badly but comfortable and great interior!

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Thanks for the replies!

 

[User 85168]

This was my first car. 94 Lexus LS400. Selling it in two days, before I go off to uni.

[iidesuyo]

Love it so much.

Nice. Looks beautiful in red, all that I've seen so far were either blue or black.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

1969 Mustang Fastback

Bought it in 2001 for $2100, dumped probably $20k into it to get it to what you see here.

Holy cow! That is one hell of a car! Sheer beauty.

Is this the car that gets beaten up in Street Fighter II? I always wondered what it was.

Volkswagen Polo Twist - 1.4TDI - 2004

My first car and I absolutely love it, get around 400 miles out of a tank.

Nice! I'm trying to find a 335i xDrive Coupe for my GF. They're annoyingly hard to find in NYC.

Good job on getting iDrive with yours, btw.

Thanks It's converted.

Squared: Beautiful cars, love that STI wagon.

Thank you!

And that's a great looking WRX, real good! With a set of coilovers on that baby it'll be perfect

I love this picture. The way the gold/black wheels matches the door trim in the background, really makes the blue pop out. Just looks awesome.

Thanks man, ya I love it in red, was tempted to get black mags and red break calipers.Think it will look good?

[Halvie]

dyno of new tune I had done a couple days ago.

Larger turbo showed up yesterday. Should be a pretty big jump in power when it goes on.

 

[33-Hit-Combo]

Dem wheels... Give them to me. Please. Very nice mang.

 

[mrklaw]

My new Z4. BMW UK were offering good incentives as they are phasing out the lower end 6-cyl models in favour of 4-cyl turbos. (still keeping the 35 as a 6-cyl though). No Neogaf plate yet, keeping the current one as its brand new, will swap over next year.

 

[Pterion]

Nice ride, mrklaw!

 

[Aguirre]

My fun/weekend vehicle: Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon 4.2 Straight-6 Turbo Diesel

My work vehicle: Toyota Hilux 2.4 Turbo Diesel

 

[Halvie]

New turbo is on.

Should be around 400whp. Dyno is booked till the 22nd, so I won't know for sure till then.

 

[QualityPixel]

My parents have a 1954 Studebaker that I hope to inherit from them. Only problem is that it's in need of a complete overhaul/restoration. I'm their only child that has the time to restore it, but my siblings have the money and not the time.

It looked something like this when it was new:

I currently drive a 2002 Honda Accord Coupe that badly needs a new paint job or clear coat.

But this is my daily driver. 1993 Shadow VT600C (also called a VLX):

Very nice - always liked that Celica body style. Any chance of you moving to a larger (+1/2) wheel/tire package?

Those are the stock 15" GT wheels; they look really small with the body kit I have on the car. I am currently saving up for some aftermarket 18" rims

Sweet Gen coupe!

High 5 for having a yellow car lol

 

[funkmasterb]

Just upgraded the ignition, added a cold air intake, and a reduction pulley for the super charger. Probably around 205hp now. Pretty good for a mini!

 

[ghostofsparta]

My (reasonable) dream car. Even down to the yellow paint and black rims. You are a blessed man.
