Car Thread!

[Cabbs]

That really sucks man, I'm sorry. That sounded like a really good deal too.

[superman22x]

I live near Chitown... Plenty of riced out Hondas... Think it's a coincidence that Illinois has the 3rd largest Mexican population of any state?....

I posted a status thing on facebook the other day after I went to Fast and Furious saying the movie was really good. And it had a lot less rice. Some kid commented saying, "You just jealous, we can go fast and still get good mileage."
I responded with this picture:
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd282/superman22x/TORQUE-1.jpg


Now, he said, "Nah, I don't need to look at anything." But I think he saw it, and that was that.... lol.

Now, don't get me wrong, there are cars that can go fast and get decent mileage. alvino's beamer for example. I mean, it's not great on gas, but it has some get up and go. Plenty of cars like that. Evos. A twin turbo Supra or STI is not my idea of rice. If it's a 10 second car, it's not a ricer...
A ricer, is a car with dual farters, 7 foot wings, pink flames, and a bone stock engine. A civic with a small wing, flashy paint, larger exhaust, and a twin turbo @ like 15 pounds of boost, is slightly ricey, but still, a good car...
But as they say, polish a turd, and it's still a turd.

[ArrizX]

Forums are dead. Im just generating ideas :D

And why Ford? Lol, get a Nissan Xtera :D

[Ð88]

You're --> contraction for: You Are. So therefore, thread title says: "You are car" and not equal to Your car. Thus, suggesting that I am a car, or, you are a car. What does it equate to? --> You are a mercedes benz 190C? || (means or) bad english?

[ArrizX]

Bad English :D

[MooseMan]

lol well my dad might be able 2 get me the ford focus for free so i'm goin with it first. plus i'm not a big suv fan >.>

don't know if it's been proven yet but the Koenigsegg CCX is suppose to smoke the Veyron and I think CCX looks so much sexier!

That GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling Gun is great for bad days. :D Each round is 30mm, and just six shots is enough to destroy modern Russian armor. Each round is 11.4" and weighs 1.53+ pounds. The API (Armor-Piercing Inceindary) projectile incorporates a depleted-uranium penetrator. The Avenger's maximum rate of fire is 4,200 rounds per minute.

Here's a little comparison of how big that whole gun is. See it? It about the same size as that Volkswagen Beetle.

Mclaren F1, fastest street legal car in the world

[ISOwner]

Realistically, I like to have either the GTi or the new Civic SI. All I can afford.

[boardordi3]

lol for real? awww man, that means
NO CAR
but io really really really like the new Lancer EVo

[G35x]

Ill be happy with a Acura TL

[ArrizX]

Mclaren F1, fastest street legal car in the world

Actually thats the McLaren F1 LM

[ISOwner]

Now the Lancer Evo I can probably afford. Mitsubishi is coming out with a new Evo next year. COmpletely redesigned. I've seen spyshots of it and it looks totally beefed up. It is much bigger and not the small sedan we're use to seeing.

[ArrizX]

Well, thats cool and all. I still rather have a nice little BMW 3xx series...

[alvino]

I can't wait for the Nissan Skyline GT-R. I heard it's coming to the US in 2007.

[ArrizX]

I thought that skylines died out. Lost their fizz so to say.

[alvino]

The latest Skyline is known as the Infiniti G35 in the US, since Nissan and Infiniti are the part of the same company. It's just like Honda and Acura or Toyota and Lexus. They target different markets and consumers. So no, the Skyline didn't die out. This time it's going to be under Nissan, which is a good thing. :)

[NeXuS]

i want my 300zx so bad im in luv with that car just few more months to go out from high school

okay, no, i looked at the mercedes mclaren, its not as fast

[Ð88]

yeah I thought at first the Koenigsegg CCX would beat the Veyron but turns out it falls just short. The 2006 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron still holds its ground as the fastest street legal supercar.

[MooseMan]

what ever happened 2 posting pics of OUR cars and not dream cars? lol :p i would post mine if i had 1 :D i am gunna post my brothers cars soon tho

[ccasmoe00]

I finally post a pic of something thats actually owned. Yeah, thats mine! :)

RX-8, legendary rotary power. I think it uses that motor. I can't believe you actually own that car. Man, it's nice but the insurance on that thing must cost a bundle.

I wish I can afford a $30,000-$40,000 vehicle right now. I would get this:

http://www.bmwusa.com/NR/rdonlyres/2580F93A-7CD2-4ECA-AB92-ECFDA04AC99B/0/0643_09.jpg

6 speed sportronic transmission, AWD, racing suspension and steering, 255HP inine 6 cyl, etc. I still think it cost a bit much for that kind of HP.

The car I have right now is this:

Its not as bad as most think. My car has so many damn safety features its crazy. It has 8 Airbags through-out the car, then it has Stability Control and Traction Control. My insurance is actually less for this car then it was for my 2002 Millennia. I must say, the RX8 is probably the best car I've even owned. My wife has an 05 Acura TL with Navigation. Its pretty nice as well. LOL

[MooseMan]

well my dad/family owns a 05 chevy silverodo 2500HD...fully equipted...dvd player in the back >.> it's nice. but really it is a really nice truck, luxurious and all :)

I hate you!! Lol damn, thats nice. Got a system in it?

[ccasmoe00]

Very Nice Cars Regarding the RX-8 does that thing use rotatory? some say the RX-7 beats the RX-8

I guess you can say its does in a straight line. Just a reminder that the RX7 had a Turbo. The RX8 doesn't have any of that, it pure Rotary Powered and is at the "most" a 1/2 of a sec slower than the RX7. But believe me when I say this, the RX8 offers a lot more than the RX7 did. As far a seating, comfort, quality of interior, trunk space and etc. That why I picked it over all of the other sports cars such as the 350Z, S2000, G35 Coupe, STi, Evo and so on. Many of them may have been a little faster in the straight line but none made up for other aspects of the car for the price.

And if you ask any professional driver which car he/she would use for an Track day, they would pick the RX8 without any doubt. I have plenty of video's of other owners in a stock RX8 keeping up with a Mustang GT, GTO, Camero SS, Audi RS4,Corvette C6 and more on the Track.

[ccasmoe00]

I hate you!! Lol damn, thats nice. Got a system in it?

No, just the stock Bose System that I paid extra for from the dealer.

Lmao keeping up with a mustang GT your car eats that car for breakfast mustangs suck :) pretty nice i would have choosen another color for a sports car something like red blue or black

[ArrizX]

I do like the 350z's. But thats personal choice. As long as you have what you want. But damn, who cares, thats still a nice car. And with a Bose system in it, its still nice. I mean sure not as loud as a Personal system, but much more.. Crisp.

[NeXuS]

who cares about sound that car pwns :p you had really nice choices there

[ArrizX]

Sound is everything in the car. And engine is everything about the car. Personaly.. In cars its engine/looks first, system second. And in the trucks, its all about the system. And then cosmetics, like super swampers, roll bars, brush guards, and lift kits :D

[NeXuS]

Yea i would have picked from the choices and Evo or the RX-8

[Ð88]

I like the RX-8's too, I wouldn't mind to own one. I always hear a lot of people bad mouthing the fact that it has a rotary engine but considering what that engine puts out, the size of it, and the weight, hell i am impressed. I mean it's not the fastest car in its class but they are definitely admirable.

[ArrizX]

Any sports sedan is iight by me.

[ccasmoe00]

Rotary Engines have always had problems. From Flooding to Blown Seals(Due to the Last Generation RX7's Twin Turbo's). Mazda has fixed most of those Engine problems by moving the ports to the side of the engine.The new redesigned engine is called the Renesis Rotary. I'm yet to have 1 problem with the car(knock on wood). :D

No, the RX8 isn't the fastest in its class in a straight line. You add corners and braking into the equation in the story changes big time. I can find plenty of videos that would impress the hell out of most people. Do you really think an RX8 can keep up with an Porsche Carrera? Yes it can and I can prove it! The car brakes and corners almost the same as many supercars.

Here are some more pics I took with my digital camera:

The RX-8 is awesome. :D I wish I owned one...is yours manual or automatic?

Yeah, the RX-8 can handle corners REALLY well, thanks to the Renesis Rotary being positioned towards the middle of the car, which gives it a good center of gravity. I also like the "freestyle" doors...it's so cool. :D

[ArrizX]

Yeah dude, Id tint those windows.

And, ill show you all my mothers car tomorrow.

Mercedez Benz 560SL. Red... I cant wait to see it myself now, lol. Its undercoveres in the grage for the winter. Now that thats over, ill take it out!

[alvino]

Isn't the Mercedes Benz 560SL the little two seat roadster? That one that looks kinda like a flat pancake from the back? What year is your car?

[ArrizX]

Lol yeah!! Thats it..


Anyways, its the biggest engine they made in the SL. Its a 1987, last year they made the 560 engine (5.6 liter)

[alvino]

Ahhh...yeah, that car is pretty snazzy. :D I tad too small for me though.

I'm getting the 1991 BMW 325i 4-Door Sedan. It looks like the one in this picture, but imagine it in Metallic Grey.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v680/LiLaZnPoOhEaD/752579.jpg

[ArrizX]

Dude, that car would look sick with metaliz grey, dark black tint, and blue underglow. With a nice system in it. That would be a sexy little car!!

Anyways.. Yeah its nice. Not that small. I mean actually its roomy. And its even more roomy with the top off. Ill see what i can do for pictures tomorrow.

[alvino]

Haha, I don't think my parents would let me add stuff to it, but whatever. I just need a car to get from Point A to Point B. My parents got it for cheap too. Cost a little bit over $4,000 USD and the V6 engine sounds wonderful. Heck, the previous owner (it's second hand) replaced the stock muffler, so it purrs even LOUDER! :D

[ArrizX]

God, thats a really nice car. I wouldnt mind owning that. Although.. Its a German made car. Dont make it sound like a rice-burner.


Lol... Yeah, but seriously, get the system in it. I know the perfect system for a Beamer.

[alvino]

Bah, BMW's mod really nicely. They look so nice with aftermarket rims and body kits.

[ArrizX]

Anything looks better with Aftermarket rims. However the thing I like most about the BMS are their grills.

[ccasmoe00]

Nice cars, if it were mine i would get some tints though..

I've been telling everyone that I'm going to do it but just haven't got around to it. It does need the windows tinted. I guess one thing that has been slowing me down is that I'm going to be pissed if someone doesn't do it right. That's my baby they're messing with now....................... :D

[ccasmoe00]

Yeah, the RX-8 can handle corners REALLY well, thanks to the Renesis Rotary being positioned towards the middle of the car, which gives it a good center of gravity. I also like the "freestyle" doors...it's so cool. :D

Mines a 6 Speed Manual. The Auto gearbox was horrible. Plus the Manual has more HP and a higher RPM Redline due to more ports on the engine. And how many cars can rev up to 9500 RPMS before you have to switch gears? NOT MANY. LOL

[99nasha]

Cars are so expensive out here. I can only afford an hours driving lesson a week. It costs $34 a lesson :(

But heres my true love :)

Yea i love your bros car is not a rice burner SI's are quite fast and the new Civic SI Coupe pulls out 190HP for a V4 engine without any turbo thats awesome and you bro has body kit right has he got some parts on the engine?? just wishing to get a 300zx giving my civic to my sis :p im getting one of these for college
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b59/NeXuS8/300zxx.jpg

[ArrizX]

I think this has like.. 280 or something :confused:

I really have no idea. But I think thats what he said?!

[NeXuS]

well i think the stock HB Civic SI come with 180HP so he has some parts on the engine like turbo or something?

[ArrizX]

Okay, then maybe im just 100 off ;)

not much, lmao

[NeXuS]

lol does he have some performance parts on the engine? and plus those things run with only the smell of gasoline(not literaly just they very very fuel efficient)

[ArrizX]

Lol, never heard that term before, but no. He has like a strut bar, or whatever their called, across the engine, to keep the body of the car tigher

[ISOwner]

They have close to 200HP, somewhere in the 194 range I think. No turbo. It is NA and that's what Honda wanted. They thought about making it FI, but want to be unique. Raw performance the normal way. High compression, premium gasoline is required.

[NeXuS]

Nice drools :p

[ArrizX]

Well, with the milage his car gets, he can afford the premium gas.

[NeXuS]

Do you know Manual lol so you can take it? hehe:D

[ISOwner]

Yeah, it's the best Civic SI ever. I'm even considering getting that because it's very affordable compared to the $30,000+ on some other hot cars out there. I would love to get it. Plus, the Civic is namedsafest car for compact sedans by automobile magazine.

[NeXuS]

Yeah man the new Coupe SI its just awesome that thing was completly remade i love what they done with it the best Civic of all that thing pushes 190 and the concept pushed to 200HP i own one well a 99 posted a little back on this thread

[LukeD]

[ArrizX]

Damn dude, thats nice, you could put such a huge bass in that. Dude, you could get like two of these; up by the back cab window, and then, at the end by the tail gate

Two would be over kill, but you could do it!!

Ahh, this is beautiful..

[NeXuS]

hahaha you got issues with sound man just kidding :p thats overkill you can never hear music that high while cruising

[ArrizX]

Dude, I love my sound! And I love when things go thump!

[NeXuS]

hehehe im thinking you like rap a lot or techno?

[ArrizX]

Well rap mostly. But rock sounds really good too. Although, get a nice system, and it sounds good with anything.

[G35x]

Man sounds is what its all about in cars. My cousin has the 2004 maxima fully loaded with all bose speakers and let me tell you there is nothing like rolling the windows down putting it on blast and just speeding down the highway. You know how many plp turn their faces when we turn it up lol...When i get my car ima make sure i have like the best speakers

[NeXuS]

Haha i dont focus much at sound right now im focusing at cosmetics like lights spoiler rims second can be sound

[ArrizX]

Dont get my wrong. Ill all for looks. But, sound comes first with me. I mean, I want my car to look decent first, then system, then final touches on the car. Hell yeah!

[MooseMan]

well my truck does have a primium bose sound system ^_^ but i definatly think looks and performance come before music for me. Personally i can live without music. People call me crazy but it seems not alot of people can drive down the interstate or highway without the radio. *shrugs* i'm not a big fan if flashy aftermarket stuff eather. Maybe some rims if they're glazed not chrome, no huge spoilers or anything. I like my car looking like the origional with some boost of performance. a sleeper hehe. some chrome rims do look good don't get me wrong but most r just 2 flashy and alot of people don't keep them clean

[ArrizX]

Anything Bose is good!

[MooseMan]

yup, bose systems rock!! they may not be THE LOUDEST but they definatly sound the clearest ^_^

[G35x]

Yeah man a car sounds great with bose in it. and if you add a jl sub in the back for kick man that would be one hell of a system

[ISOwner]

eesh....not a fan of the mirror lights, please tell me it's not a rice burner...

Those chrome lights compliment the white on the car. I hate the stock red lights. Clashes with it. Technically, it is a rice burner simply because it's been fixed up from stock. Not much done to the outside (besides the racing grill and the chrome lights), but performance has been beefed up and fully loaded with TRD Performance parts from engine, suspension, to exhaust. It went from 130HP stock to 176HP overnight.

Compact imports have been given a bad name because of people that put fart cans on their cars and those stupid 2 feet high aluminum wings on the back of a stock vehicle. My car has a pretty clean look. Since I had the car, I've been given a lot of stares and caught people looking in on my car when coming out of the store quite a few times. The people at the Toyota dealer call it a sleeper because I'm the only Corolla that's FI. The best part of all, I still have full warranty with them.

Blown:

[MooseMan]

yea i do like how you have it, don't put a fart can on it and keep it a sleeper. my brother has a 1990 mustang GT that's a sleeper with about 280 horses

[NeXuS]

Its not rice burner its pretty nice having Dealer Performance parts real nice car you got TDR i would add rims thats all Manual or Auto?

[Ð88]

yeah some new rims and low pro tires would look nice to complete the package. Anything else would just be too much and I would have to start criticizing.

[MooseMan]

yea i did say that the mirror lights look bad but now that i got a better look i do think it looks good :)

[ArrizX]

Dude, thats a nice car!

[ISOwner]

Unfortunately, it's an auto. I drive way too much and hate the idea of shifting all the time. My arms and leg would get tired. I think I'm going to leave the wheels the way they are. Those aluminum alloy wheels are ok. If I want to change the wheels, I'm thinking of getting 17's for them. Right now, the fender gap is perfect. Not too big and it's not a huge drop. I've got TRD suspensions all around so it gives it a perfect drop. Not enough to make it look like a low rider or something like that, but at the same time it doesn't sit too high like some of the stock Corolla's are. The stock ones look bad, seriously. It needs the drop. I thought about putting on the Corolla XRS 16's or do they have 17's? Then it would be a wannabe XRS Corolla instead of a Corolla S.

[NeXuS]

Whos cares if its an auto its still a nice car didnt thought you can add TDR parts ona corolla hehe

[ISOwner]

TRD are available for most Toyota pickups and SUV's (Tacoma, Tundra, 4 Runner, and something else). They are also available in Scion tC, Corolla S, Corolla XRS, Camry, Solara, and what else am I forgetting? Toyota rocks. So much performance options you can get. The Corolla S has the most available for it. More than the Corolla XRS, which is why I got it. Best bang for the buck. There are no superchargers available for the XRS because of it's higher compression motor. That doesn't prevent anyone from putting a turbo on there, hehe.

I originally wanted a Civic, but they cost way too much for such a limited amount of features. I got this Corolla S with all the sport package, leather wrapped shift knobs and steering, power accessories, CD player, matching Corolla S floor mats, cargo net, and extended warranty for about the same price for a Civic LX with only 3 year standard warranty, no CD player, and stock stainless steel wheels (ugly). It's a no brainer decision. Plus, Toyota has legendary reliablity.

[NeXuS]

but it if it was a civic 2006 it would have been wortn it hehehe ohh sorry i see its a 2003 yea i dont like the civic models 2001-2005

[alvino]

Haha, TRD, ALL Japanese cars have legendary reliability, unlike most American cars. :p

[ISOwner]

It was in 03 when I bought that car. I was comparing the Nissan Sentra SE R, Honda Civic, and the Toyota Corolla at the time. Nissan had a great motor and very powerful. Potent. I liked it a lot, but research on the Toyota Corolla was astonishing. Their line of TRD components and especially the supercharger impressed me enough to get the Corolla. Those cost I spend on TRD parts and the MSRP sticker price of the car at the time was just under $20,000 excluding my financing fees of course. That add to the cost.

The new Civic has more horsepower than what my Corolla can put out, but I have way more torque which gives me a better launch. The problem with my car at launch is wheel spin. They do make a TRD LSD for my trans-axles, but they cost like $900 for a set.

Still, I would gladly take the Civic Si. Best NA vehicle I've seen by any manufacturer that cost around $20,000.

Civic Si Specs at a glance

Engine liters: 2.0

Horsepower: 197-hp @ 7,800 rpm

Recommended fuel: premium unleaded
Aluminum cylinder block
Aluminum cylinder head
Ignition type: electronic
Engine orientation: transverse
Fuel economy city: 23 mpg
Fuel economy highway: 32 mpg
Fuel tank capacity: 13 gal.

[alvino]

I never liked the Corolla's looks though. Personally, I like the Nissan Sentra SE-R's looks over the Corolla S.

[ISOwner]

The Sentra has a nice front end which I like, but the back doesn't look good. My first impression of the Corolla at first, was that it looked similar to the Lexus SUV due to the rear design. Very similar resemblance, but not suprising because Lexus and Toyota are the same company.

If the TRD package wasn't available for the Corolla, there was a good chance that I may have purchased the Sentra SE R instead.

[NeXuS]

They new Civic SI is very impresive i love how they redesign it, what im questioned about is why havent i seen a new 2006 eclipse on the road i never seen one weird

[NeXuS]

you had to choose a CIvic non SI right if it was SI i would have gone with the SI

[ISOwner]

I saw it. Looks too ugly to me. I wouldn't get it. I wish the new Civic Si had 4 doors instead of just two. I guess it has something to do with weight reduction, lol.

[NeXuS]

the 2003 CIvic SI or the 2006?

[ISOwner]

I think all the Si models were 2 doors, but the 06 is 10x better.

[NeXuS]

yea i want one of those imagine that thing witha turbo dang!

[ISOwner]

With all the right mods, that Civic can push 250HP easily. Sleeper. I need to go to some of those Civic Forums to see what they are saying about this car.

[ArrizX]

The Civic SI? My brother belongs to this SI club, and they have forums, for mods and whatever. Might wanna check it out..

http://www.ephatch.com/forum/index.php

I checked it out. Only way I can read up on the threads is if I were to sign up for that forum. I hate signing up for things. I found another one. An actual ClubSi forum:

I like the way you think though, keep it up :D

Oh yeah, good night, lol

[MooseMan]

well as far as all the civic talk goes i don't like civics. I guess it's mainly because 80% of the people that own them put fart cans on them and they sound like complete shit! on top of that my family has always supported american cars so that also kinda leans me more towards american brands. I do like some japaneese brands though, not honda for the most part but nissan inparticular. Someone mentioned that american cars were unreliable, well i can't agree with you, yes every company has it's lemons but the cars we've had have been great. I think it's parshly because alot of drivers are stupid and get into wrecks and then their cars are unreliable after that. but really idk because the toyota corolla i think it was, maybe camary, was the #1 car in the U.S so that might contradict the whole thing. But i have seen alot of stupid ass civic drivers and also i think the civics r slow anyways. my brothers camaro with a 2-somethin rear end can kick his friends SI's ass lol.

[ISOwner]

Nissan always had nice motors. They will always have my consideration. I just want to go for something that is either supercharged or has a turbo in it. That new VW commercial what that funny German guy and the blonde girl cracks me up. That GTi is said to have 200HP turbocharged. What I don't understand is, the new 06 Civic Si is near 200HP and cost twice as less as the VW. Maybe the VW can push faster times then the Civic, I don't know. Haven't really seen the full specs of the new GTi.

I like to see TOyota come out with something better in the next few years as far as a fast compact sedan goes. The XRS is ok, but it could be better. They really shouldn't use the Corolla because of it's reputation as a fuel economy sedan. Despite it being reliable and all, they need to redesign a new sport model vehicle. They got rid of the Celica, but now they got the Scion tC. Slow machine though.

[MooseMan]

well i think the VW is much better made than the civic and also more feature packed. but thats just me *shrugs* i would love one of those 06 jetta's 2, they're amazing cars.

[ISOwner]

If I had the money, I would love to get my hands on the Evo or the STI, but they just cost so darn much. So in the next few years, I will be looking at $20,000 sport compact cars with bragging rights. I think that VW is like almost $30,000. I think I rather get the Lexus IS350, but the price tag is like $45,000!!!!

[MooseMan]

yea i would definatly want a VW, i drool when i see their lineup lol. as for the EVO eeewwww but i like the sti

[G35x]

The nissan 2004 and on of the Maxima are nice. 265hp and starting at like 25gz isnt that bad. The car is heavy but that thing is a beast.

[MooseMan]

yea, i'd rather have alot of kick and b heavy then no kick and be light :p

Lol how can you compare a V8 to V4 lol its impressive for a V4 to crank 195 HP plaus i wouldnt like a camaro to much gas lol, dont talk trash about Civics cause there one of the most reliable and they got a nice style, they maybe slow cause its a V4 duh but there pretty quick and agile cars

[MooseMan]

Lol how can you compare a V8 to V4 lol its impressive for a V4 to crank 195 HP plaus i wouldnt like a camaro to much gas lollol ur right, but i guess i was just saying it 2 defend the american company's? lol idk. i would take a focus or something how about that :D

[NeXuS]

there pretty close the normal civics and the focus in terms of speed and acceleration, yeah american companys are trying to keep up cause its hard cause japanese cars are very fuel efficient and reliable im just wishing to give my civic to my sis and get a 300zx now those thing are fast

[MooseMan]

yea, i like european company's 2 but their all expensive and r hard and expensive 2 work on according 2 my brother

[NeXuS]

Well let me say there pretty nice and not that expensive but little high, but they are hard maintain cause european parts are so expensive and the labor is to thats why japanese cars are so cheap to mainting there parts are not that expensive, aside from Mazda i was going to get a 1998 Milenia but its a car to hard to maintain and it needed a tune up its was like 4 grand really cheap untill we talking to our local mecanic if we buy it he told us nooo way heheh to service that car costs a lot

[MooseMan]

lol yea i've herd an oil change for a catalic(sp) is over $200

EDIT: can be lol, not always

[NeXuS]

dam well the Milenia i wanted it was a pretty sweet car the style was nice but it needed a service and they have to replace the chain of the engine dont know the name and costed about 2 grand

1.4 hDi diesel, bought it with 8k miles on the clock... now got 13k...

Thats nice.. I dont see any dent. But I remember that one crash. Man, that dude was an ass!

But you should drop it and get some gunmetal (color) 15'' rims :D

Ahh a peugot those are nice hatchbacks

[ISOwner]

Too small for my taste. I can't stand a car that size. Even the Toyota Echo is bigger than the Peugot.

[NeXuS]

Yeah there a bit small

[alvino]

It's a great car for European areas since they have small towns and economy is usually the priority. The Peugot is nice though...maybe a body kit, some rims and a suspension kit and drop will totally make it look kick ass. :D

[mark thorpe]

lol i aint dropping it... i catch the nose on some of the speed humps here as it is!

as soon as i can get the dent outa it (and get more money) im getting some rims for it, and probably something on the body. dunno what im gonna do with it yet, but im gonna do something. i love it, its only a 1.4 HDi, but its pretty nippy if you get it in the right gear... economy is definatley the piority, at 97.9p a litre of diesel...
ill get a pic of the dent later (if i can find the batteries to my cam)

[NeXuS]

Hehehe thats nice to know you would just add rims, tinted windows you dont wanna rice that car to much :p it looks nice as it is with the fog lights and all must look kool at night

[ArrizX]

I think it neeeeds some 16''s on it. And from there, get them, probably gun metal. Maybe chrome. But then metal looks really nice. Take a look at my brothers car. See if you like those rims. There gun metal. I think they would like pimp on your car.

[99nasha]

When I visted the US I did not see ONE small car out there. All of them are small out here. Must be because of petrol prices

[G35x]

Yeah people in the usa are all about big cars..

[ISOwner]

Yup. Even the small cars here are not small compared to European standards. When I saw the Peugoet for the very first time, I was like, WTF is that hideous looking thing? That was a toy. I'll bet I can get my friend and I to lift up the rear end completely off the ground.

[mark thorpe]

I'll bet I can get my friend and I to lift up the rear end completely off the ground.

i know who to ask if i get a puncture then :P

yeah, im gonna get some rims for it when ive sorted out the dent... dunno about body, but ill sort something out eventually, but first the piorities for it are:

dent
sound system
rims

lol

you're going to pay a lot to get that dent fixed, and I'll bet you can do it yourself for very little money. if it's not scratched or anything you can pull out the dent easily with a suction cup or take the inner fenderwell out (just a few bolts) and push it out from behind. can you post a pic of it?

[mark thorpe]

ive already tried a suction cup and a big hammer... got alot of it out, but theres still a bit left... its taken some of the paint off too, so its gonna start rusting soon...

[G35x]

Yeah nice car man, plan to do anything to it?

[Ð88]

Here's my car, or will be mine. It's a 1971 Chevelle SS. It's got a 454 V8 and TONS of power. I love this car, although im not even legal to drive it (For some reason the insurance says I have to be 25 or older to drive or we will have to pay something like 5 times the amount of insurance we pay now if we wanted to change that age limit). That aspect of it sucks...

But anyways here's a old pic of her. This is before we even bought it from the guy (this is a pictures he sent when my dad was thinking on purchasing it). There's since been a lot of work done to it. I told my dad to take some recent pictures of it and send them to me but right now the interior is stripped down because everything is getting reupholstered. I'll wait until that's done and a few other upgrades to take more pictures.

I'll tell you what. You'll love fixing it up, if you have the money. That 03-04 model is begging to get the supercharger installed. Damn, the Scion tC now has a TRD Supercharger available!!! Sweet looking car.

Get this for that Corolla

http://www.trdusa.com/SearchDatabaseResults.asp

It also looks like it needs a drop too. Get those TRD springs in the above link.

I want that yellow truck in the background, lol!

That 1971 Chevelle SS is all power. I would love to have that too and work on it. No SMOG too!!!!! I love it. You know what other car I like? 2003 Shelby Mustang GT-500E SS.

OMFG, that thing is MONSTER!!!!! Must have it.

[NeXuS]

lol that thing must fly

[ISOwner]

Yup. Raw power. You'll never guess how much it cost.

Nearly $200,000 USD!!!!

Supercharged and all. That is a car collector's dream. Wish I can have it. With nitrous, that thing can get up to 750bhp.

[Ð88]

lol that thing must fly

are you refering to my car or the mustang?

lol but anyway yeah it does, when you slam the pedal to the floor that car rips you back in your seat. The torque is just incredible! I have driven it a few times despite that it's not legal and it actually scares me the power it has.

Dodge Charger. Reminds me of Dukes of Hazard. Use to be my favorite show when I was a kid. I loved it. The movie sucks, but Daisy Duke always catch my eye. I am a huge fan of imports now. Domestic american cars don't appeal to me as much as they use to. Too many problems and not exciting. The only good thing about american cars are those older muscle cars. POWER.

New Japanese imports are getting faster and faster, plus they look hot. Termed rice rockets, they are very reliable too.

Dodge Charger. Reminds me of Dukes of Hazard. Use to be my favorite show when I was a kid. I loved it. The movie sucks, but Daisy Duke always catch my eye. I am a huge fan of imports now. Domestic american cars don't appeal to me as much as they use to. Too many problems and not exciting. The only good thing about american cars are those older muscle cars. POWER.

New Japanese imports are getting faster and faster, plus they look hot. Termed rice rockets, they are very reliable too.yea i guess i just don't like the flashy look, i mean, my computer case doesn't even have a window. i want 2 get the antec p180 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129154 but i guess i just like siphisticated(sp) and not flashy

Thats very nice. Its got a real smooth body, no dings or scratches. You could put such a nice system in that!

Do you have one?

[The_Other_One]

Computer or sound :P Hehe, I thought about getting a computer to stick in there, but never bother making one. Too much $$$ and not enough use. Besides, I get car sick quite easilly ;P

As for stereo, I did replace the head unit and the 4 primary speakers. I did have a 10" sub in the rear(actually a home theater sub ;P ) but since removed it...

[ArrizX]

Oh sad. You should have left it, lol!

So how many watts is your player? And, are you going to get another sub in it?

[X-treme 3D]

I drive a '99 Firebird (Bright red w/ white sport stripes) w/ Dynomax straight flow dual exhaust, a performance module, and a K&N intake system. When I was painting cars at a body shop, I painted parts of the dash and middle console to match the car. Sorry, but I don't know how to post pics on this forum yet.

I also had a '77 LTD I bought that had a 400 in it. I put dual exhaust and some glass packs on it and my wife said the pictures in the house would rattle when I started it. I had to sell it though.

Here is a link to a pic of my Firebird:

Hehe, oh I still have the sub, just not in my jeep. Did I post a picture of my TV stand here? It's the one sitting beside my stand.

My head unit is 45x4 watts. I probably won't worry about another sub. I'm quite happy with my 6 speaker setup :rolleyes:

Doesnt matter what you have now that makes you happy, a bass makes everyone happier :D

:D


How big is that sub?

[ArrizX]

What? The Visonik? Well thats dual 12s in it. Probably max out at like 800 watts. My friend has one of those. its got dual 14s, and he pushes 800 in it steady. Peak about 1250. All RMS watts.

[Ð88]

A bigger sub doesn't mean it's a better sub lol :rolleyes:

Its nice man i buddy has a 91 liffted big off round wheels and a such a nice sound system , and it has a speaker like the cops

[The_Other_One]

I thought about doing some work to my jeep...like a bumper guard, larger wheels, etc etc. However, it's been rearended twice, thus has a bent frame. It's been adjusted, but if you know anything about jeeps and the unibody, that's bad :-/ So, I'm just driving it until it dies. At least it looks good, and yes, the back has totally been repaired. It actually looks BETTER now ;P

I almost forgot... Here's the my TV stand, and you can see the sub there...
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v22/theotherone/Compy/TV.jpg
That's actually not the exact same one I had. For a while, I had two(one in my room, one in my jeep) but they were identical. 10" 120watt if I recall... Sound weak? Well it'll rattle the basement from my room 2 stories up ;)

[ArrizX]

A bigger sub doesn't mean it's a better sub lol :rolleyes:

In the car electronics world, it just means louder :D

[Ð88]

if you want louder, you buy more of them, not buy a bigger sub. There is a reason why car audio subs arent 20" in diameter.

[NeXuS]

I already have some cash saved dunno what to add to my civic i was thinking some black rims or gunmetal or maybe this spoiler what you think??

EAW's up there are used in Waterworld. They are old, and have been exposed to water and fire. Imagine if water was sprayed on that thing five times a day, for 11 years. Now that's rugged. Thought I'll point that out, since we are talking about speakers. :D

800 Watts? I doubt it. It'll muffle all the satellites around the car.

Thats true too. But something 20'' would be too damn loud! Lol, i bet one 20'' that would handle 2000RMS watts would be pushing 160 decibles. (sp)



800 Watts? I doubt it. It'll muffle all the satellites around the car.


His satellites are rated for 250RMS watts each. And he has 6 of them in the car. Putting in about 50RMS max watts. Trust me, the words are muffled, but, you can still hear it. But right now the top is on it. He is only putting about 600 into the bass. When it starts to get hotter, he will turn up the bass, and then, the bass will be alot louner, but, you will hear the satelites, because their still in the enclosed cab. Well other then the back two.

The point was that when subs start getting bigger than 12" you lose a lot of the "tightness" of the bass. It's hard to explain the exact sound you get from it but rest assured it does not sound very good. A person would be better off with buying more subs that buying a larger one, especially when it comes to car audio.

[ArrizX]

Yeah, I know what you mean. But have you ever heard a visioik? They are very high quality. But I didnt even think of that. Your 100% right.

[MooseMan]

really the whol thing about having a loud sound system i think is completly stupid. first it rattles ur car like hell, and also it blows your ears out, i mean do u really have 2 have some 1000 watts 2 hear your music in a car? i think it's just stupid, plus if u want performance having big subs will weigh down the car alot. i just prefer to have maybe 1 sub thats not going 2 loosen the bolts on my car

I agree. Look at Bose. It power was the thing, guess who'll lose? Unless you need it for a huge theater, you don't need that sort of system. Really, are you going to turn it up full blast?

I agree with you i rathe spend more money on performance or looks, cause you will never hear at that volume, 1. cause it will hurt, 2. you'll get a ticket, plus in the long term having a thumping sound sistem it damages your car, makes parts get shaky, loosen some bolts.

[ArrizX]

Of course you dont need it. I live in a tourist town, and it is absolutly awesome to have the top of your car, with the bass blasting, and its awesome to see the looks that you get, when driving. Its just.. fun. But, your right you dont need it, myself wont be getting a big system. Just a 400watt one will do me fine. Ill be putting it in my car, and it shouldny rattle, and if it does, ill take it down half.

[NeXuS]

I rather spend on performance and exterior than on a high end sound system.

Its kinda pointless not that i wouldnt spend a new set a speakers a amp and stuff, but buying multiple amps more speakers not my thing

[Ð88]

I agree, i would also rather spend cash on engine upgrades and such to make the car go faster. But then again it still depends on the vehicle cause some just arent worth trying to make go faster. And as far as spending a lot to make vehicle just look nice is also kind of pointless if it runs like crap.

[ISOwner]

It's better to get a fast car to start. I'm tired of fixing up regular cars. Sometime, the motor takes a beating if it's not properly reinforced when running a turbo kit or supercharger. That's a whole lot of money you have to pump into your car. I rather just get an Evo or an STI, but they cost too much.

That is why it's better to get a car that is already fast to start with. The 06 Honda Civic Si is a nice start which doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's got a high reving motor which may not fair well with a turbo kit, unless again, reinforcement is done to prevent blowing a gasket :(

Still, for $20,000, the Civic Si has 200HP of raw power, naturally without FI. The RSX Type S is another good one, but too damn small and cost way too much for it's model.

Dude, if you get caught going to fast, your car get impounded, you loose your license, or, your insurance goes up really high. So why not have a standard car, that has a very, very nice sound system, that you can listen to with out limits.

[ISOwner]

I can say that there is always a need for speed. Trust me, once you start driving, you'll see what I mean. We could always use the power when we need it. Passing power when traveling on the freeways, going up steep roads, and just plain showing off. I got a speeding ticket just a few months ago, but I don't regret it. More and more motorist drive faster and faster. My car's been impounded before, but I got it out.

I won't be surprised if the government formed a conspiracy by increasing freeway speed limit to 80mph. Why? So our cars use more gas, forcing us to by more gasoline. With the high price of gas as of this moment, it is an appealing thought to them. Plus, if you do race someone at the California Speedway, I like to have the fastest car there or one of the faster ones. We have races all the time at the raceway where we pay $15 to get in and participate in drag racing, drifting, getting time slips, etc. It's a guy thing.

[ArrizX]

Thats true. But my car as more then enough power stock. Its a benz, so its just flat out power. Thats why im going for the sound system :D

[ISOwner]

I want that new 06 BMW 330xi, but it's freaking $45,000!!! I need a high paying full time job to get that. I drool over the specs, but I am dissapointed in the HP production though. 255HP isn't that much for a car like that. The Lexus IS350 is the same size and class as that BMW, but has 305HP!!!! The cost is a little cheaper too, but pretty close to the same cost depending on the features.
