What is that?

A muscle car would be nice. Since there's no replacement for displacement..except perhaps a charger or a turbo.

First I was longing for a BMW. But then I found the potential in turbo chargers! Fnarr I say!

A nice old Saab 9000/900 turbo would be a nice and relatively affordable hobby/project.

*I need to graduate fast!=at least some amount of money*

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccceee eeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[War Pig]

Say no more!

It's gotta be either a muscle car, or quality produts from Germany (zee, German engineering!) OR Swedish safety combined with performance.

Who can say tuurrrrbo!!

(no real power - just turbo shit;) )

[wickit]

New car has arrived \o/

[cerutti]

im my muscle car guy my self aswell. but hey this was my 1st car and i wanted it have it stand out a little more. started modding and well all i can say is i got addicted. as for the kndia riceer comment by jeddy :D well...personally i don't think a clean car is rice. i mean come on at least its off the road and i ain't driving it around like this, i draw the lines at wings and decals a nice suttle body kit and rims is all i needed nothing crazy. but if i hadn't put all the time and money into this car id go back to stock

something like this...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/scudz24/stefsstuff6453.jpg
slammed and boosted is all i would need. but yea when its all done and painted it should look a million times better. if i decied to keep the car next year ill be throwing in a supercharged 3400 v6...needs a wee bit more power.
oh btw the car started its life a 1999 pontiac sunfire, i hate the font end so i put the 00-02 cavalier front on it.

when i move into my new palce this car (if tis done or if i keep it) will become my daily driver. since no matter where i move it gonna have a shop or at least an oversized garage i don't even really care about the house, ill be restoring a 55 bel air for my dad (not sure what engine im gonna throw in yet) ill be working on a 88 mustang 5.0L (my goal for it is a 10s or less street leagel beast :D ) also i may build a 34 ford or 33 vicky as a show car.

[Jed]

I should post a pic of the old car I built. Looked a complete mess but it had about 380 bhp and only weighed 480kg :D Was stupid to drive in the wet so I put a smaller engine in when I stopped racing it and used it as a summer road car.

[Ginger Lord]

That the one you powerslid and smacked someone in the arse with?

[Jed]

Lol. No, that was in a crappy diesel Rover 200. Although actually I did tail slide and spin this one with a passenger. Trouble is the passenger was an ex-copper who was along for a checkride as he wanted to buy it.

[Pierog]

thats the ugliest car i've ever seen.

[cerutti]

well its not as ugly as you...yet







wow weak eh :(

[spine]

A rover diesel with 380bhp???? lol
Or what was it?

[spine]

Just upgraded from A3 1.6 to A4 2.0 Multitronic, me happy :D

lol no. GL was referring to a story I told him of an accident I got into once where I knocked a guy through the air with the tail of my car. He thought it was my 380bhp racecar but it was my works Rover 200. :D

that's not mine, but it's the same model and year. looks more or less the same
we call it the tank. got rear ended twice kind of hard without a scratch and took a '92 toyota to the passenger side at about 30mph with only a dent. it also rolled clear through the garage door (made of wood) and just dented the bumper a bit. i think it's on its last legs though. it's from 1989 and we've had to do some part replacement, i expect it's time to start looking for a new one. one of those little japanese things that drives like a golf cart and gets 40 miles to the gallon

now thatsa hooptie

[spine]

Now thats what I call a proper car Bob, thats awesome! :D

Would be cool to see a pic of that racecar Jed, sounds like a killer!

[b0b]

now thatsa hooptie


hah thanks (i think?) what's a hooptie? never heard of that (lives in US, some expressions in the english language don't make their way over here)

[Someth|ngw|cked]

Here is my car, a 95 Mercedes E320 Coupe, lowered 2 inches on 18" moven M11's, pretty much stock other than the suspension, rims and tint, although it's lowered it still rides like a benz should, i prefer the older (pre 96) benzes to the new ones because benz cut back their quality control to boost profit margins

And B0B, hooptie means a ghetto mobile :p

Me drives this. The same colour and everything. Actually, we have two of those. One similar to this is my gf's car, and the other we use for going hunting etc., where the roads are a tad crappier.

Now, me being a 194cm 95kg heavy weight - vw jetta isn't excatly the most comfortable car out there. It's not that bad on the road, but a little extra room wouldn't hurt.

The taxation on cars is redicilously high in Finland. Actually, I think we drive the oldest cars in Europe due to heavy taxation. I could afford to buy a decent car from Sweden for example, but the import tax would prolly double (or even triple) the price.

shameless plug :/

btw., that merc is really sweet!

[Ginger Lord]

The wheels on that Merc make it look....odd. What were the originals?

The only Merc I'd want would be a Mercedes McLaren SLR, but can't justify spending a small fortune on one. A SL55 AMG would probably be a better buy, and £250,000 less.

[doncorleone]

No diesel, no gaz! He he my car :lol

1978 Malibu, still awaiting the paperwork from the insurance company so I can put it on the road. Classic insurance takes a while.

[spine]

The Malibu rox!
It looks like it's lowered but probably just worn suspension, right?
:D

Looks unreal the way that I-bot thing balances on 2 wheels.

[fess]

I have a little Silver Renault Modus Diesel 1.6... small but nippy :D

[War Pig]

A follow up:

Trying to get the old Saab back on road. Migh have to get it into a workshop though..

If I get the basics sort out, I'm trying to get roughly 200bhp out of it. The 'type M' rally modification promises something along 7.4sec 0-60mph specs..but we'll see. o_O

[Spartacus]

SAAB!

<3 swe

[fess]

Don't lie Spartacus, you only have a horse. I know it!

[Spartacus]

Well ofc, Horsies > Cars

But still, Volvo and SAAB are not that bad, but still, they ain't got shit on horsies!

[War Pig]

SAAB!

<3 swe

I've got to admit; this old war horse is a treat to drive! :)

I'd like to get an old 9000 aero with auto gear box and the legendary bat-seats ;)

Good-lookin' car, mate, but that ain't a muscle car...

THIS is a muscle car! 426ci/425hp of street-rippin' HEMI!!! *snort snort!*

I'm a huge muscle car fan too! :)

Even in this small remote town up in the arctic circle I've seen a 1969 or 1970 charger, challenger and a 'cuda aswell this summer.

Awesome cars.. way cooler than the ferrari I saw the other day.

I was working on Saturday, and a new Aston Martin drove past the store. For a while I was like WTF :/ I mean, there's snow on the ground and the roads are icy.. and then this Aston goes by. The license plate read: ASTON. :D

[Propaganda]

I have a 04 SVT Cobra convertible, I don't drive it often but like to take it to the track on street legal nights. It's slightly modified to about 468 RWHP my best time so far is 12.57 at 109 MPH. Here's a vid and some pics.

Nice car man, looks a beauty.

[spine]

Nice one Propaganda, not my favorit Cobra/Mustang design but an awesome engine and sound, guess thats most important anyways. :)

This has a Mustang horse one the front but is a Cobra?
Seem to remember that Mustang and Cobra was to different models at some point, whats up?

[War Pig]

Brrr, that's a nice one!

I'm torn: If I'd have the money, should I go for a turbo or a big displacement?

Oh, choices..choices. :D

[Propaganda]

Well it's a mustang cobra. If you look on the sides it has a snake. If you see a cobra with a snake on the front instead of the horse then the owner put that on, as it doesn't come like that.

Thread Revival.

This thread contains photos of all three of my cars now :icon_rawr:

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1084/clioq.jpg
Clio GT 1.6VVT - 128BHP

6 miles on the clock when I picked it up :D

[SteveUK]

Better than my 1.25L 16V Ford Fiesta which has 88,000 miles.

[spine]

Three cars? What? Are you a car sales man now then GL... the lawn full of cars.. hahaha!
Clio is nice tho, I had a rental in Scotland not as quick as yours but a nippy car, one thing
I did not like much was the cheap plastic feel the interior had.

Steve, stay on topic please, it's a CAR thread! :D

[Ginger Lord]

I don't have them all :icon_lmao:

Each one got traded in for the last one, the red one knocked £1k off the second, the second knocked £2.5k off the new one.

As this ones the GT trim it luckily doesn't have rubbish plastic interior, the seats are pretty much full leather and door sidepanels are too. Where there is plastic its this weird "soft touch" plastic which is sort of like a plastic/rubber mix where you could squash it with your fingers :O

[spine]

Ah ok, yeah it looked like a more exclusive edition, the rentals are always the cheapest unexciting models, well the ones I'm willing to pay for anyway... :D
