nozaki Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 yeah, that's mine...ultra fucking clean. #641 up in this bitch...i love the car so much that i don't even really want to do anything to it...i was thinking about the simple bolt on performance, but i like this car stock...it's hard to explain.

SteveAustin Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 ^ broke eh? :haha: I'm going for two wheeled speed for the moment...I may build up a Galant VR4 later though. I know I've hated on the Porsche Cayenne's quite a bit...but damn...they're impressive. If anyone can somehow swing it...give the turbo a test drive. Amazingly fast for an SUV. The Audi RS6 is even more impressive though. I heart German cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shameless self promotion Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 My girl was looking at a mazaspeed protege, but theyre pretty hard to find now, esp. not in bright yellow. She wanted the grey. That was a fun testdrive though, fun cars. Theres a guy in town with one that is tuned to wreck shit. Ive talked to him at acouple autox events..Flat black home paint job, exhaust exits right behind front passenger wheel, with suspension, turbo upgrades and other misc goodies. Best part of the car is the road cone stickers on the back side windows that look like this.. Funny shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 I think he was talking about my dsm comment I made on the last page maybe? If everything turns out right the next things I will do to my car are get the SAFC2 tuned, tint windows, and maybe get some better headlamps... that's about it.... until I want an FMIC. This is exactly what my car looks like, red with black top and black spoiler... complete stock appearance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shameless self promotion Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 ^werd, I read your previous post wrong. Right now Im learning how to make things from carbon fiber.

Dirty_habiT Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 ^^Sweet... my car currently has a small stock side mount IC that is located in the driver front wheel well. When I finally do get an fmic I will paint it black so that it's not easy to see, I'm all about the sleeper. Speaking of which I saw the most awesome evo I've ever seen the other day, he had a different trunk, it had no holes in it from where the spoiler was removed, it looked like an ES model lancer in that aspect The fmic was painted black and the only revealing thing on the car was the fact that it still had the evo hood... it was very clean and "not rowdy" looking. My city is pretty good for having some really nice tuner cars, but we also have alot of idiots too that are butchering cars with body kits and the like. A friend of mine showed me this company called sts turbo that specializes in chevy trucks and suvs.... Here's a pretty neat video of a hauling ass turbo Z71 pickup... I personally don't think trucks should haul that much ass, because they aren't made to handle well... oh well, it's whatever. z71 Tunnel Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shameless self promotion Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Badass! I keep thinking you have a 90's eclipse.. They didnt come with a intercooler correct? Ive been looking for a set of seats from a chrysler starion (which became the eage talon and later eclipse i belive). If you ever get a chance, jump on them, super comfortable!! Check them out. I prefer the black leather, but its hard to find pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Well, the turbo models all came with side mounts stock. Those seats do look nice, there's a section on my local forums for some starion/conquest owners... there's a couple in my area. http://www.dfwdsm.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shameless self promotion Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 1983 280zx Turbo 3in exhaust right off the headers, no cat or muffler. Amazingly quiet due to the turbo. Fugly lookin tip on the end cause the bumper was burning off. Put in a new clutch and flywheel. Tokico suspension along with other million misc things. My pops and I have been restoring this car since I started Highschool. Looks alot different now. Front air dam to go on soon and a set of graphite colored konig rewinds. Whenever he retires the l28et and trans is going into a 240 body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Fucking sweet... I love cars that are underestimated... and that's a prime example. People don't even realise what they just got spanked by when they see a car like that. It's a good feeling getting up next to some american sports car at the light and they've got their girl in the car and they think they're just gonna run you... oh man. I smoked this red cavalier with exhaust and after I slowed down and he passed, he had his arm around his girl all insecure like because he tried to race and got his ass handed to him.

johnny Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 dirty habit be wary of those ebay intercoolers. nearly all of them are just for looks and use really shitty cores. a good bar and plate intercooler of the appropriate size for your engine/turbo combo will keep your intake temps very happy. a precision/spearco IC usually can be had for around $250 to $350 that's rated to 350hp. all you'd need is a piping kit and some elbow grease to make it work.

Dirty_habiT Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Oh, I'm not gonna go for any shotty craftsmanship... I know all about southern engineering... and I won't make my car a victim of it. I will go with the name brand when I get an IC... and really I've never bought anything off of ebay and I don't plan to start now, thanks for the tip however. I don't plan on doing any turbo upgrades on my car for a while, so I won't need anything really large yet... if ever, I don't plan on having a race car for the track, I'm going to have a car for the street... I'm probably gonna get on working on it sometime this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumPuncher Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 the honda 599 is one of the nicest naked bike out. (well last year... they dropped it from the narth american market this year) I dont like the gloss black finish on the 919 as much as the matte grey on the 599.
