Dude,
I love muscle cars, 72 Charger is the best, & the 69 Mustange- classic, Chevelle are cool, but only certain ones, Nova's almost look like Chargers mixed with Mustanges.

Who's slyver?
I own a truck and it's paid off... so I'm happy with it. Gets me from point A to point B.
Graffix mentioned stereo equipment. I used to be a car audio junkie back in teh day. I still have my system but it's worn out like a whore. It's 5 years old but this is what I have.
Clarion CD Player Deck (7585, I think)
Clarion 7 Band EQ
(2) MTX 8000 10 inch subs
MTX Amp (bridged, 500D? I think)
Then I ran out of money... hah And never got back into it. They still work fine but like I said they are old. I have all this behind my seats in my 1999 Reg Cab Ford Ranger. It hits, trucks are the shit for bass!

Slyver is that slut who lives across the water.
Oh, and now I know whos car to break in Graffixx :lol: just kidding...
I own a '91 MR2 Turbo. Weisco Pistons, rings, rods, crank, lowered compression to 8.5:1, HKS Camshafts 264 degree lift, K&N intake, Walbro high pressure fuel pump, Blitz BOV. The car is also lowered approx 1.75 inches in the front, and 1.5 in the back (H&R Springs... I love German/Japanese engineering). I HAD a Greddy boost controller until some one STOLE IT OUT OF MY CAR ON NEW YEARS...along with Sylvers credit cards...... Alpine Head unit, and Greddy Turbo timer.
I use to have the full Ferrari 355 replica body kit on it until I spun out one day in the rain and ruined my front end.. I ordered the same front end but the retarded company sent me the wide body front end... so I have a widebody front end with the F355 sideskirts, and back end.... still looks nice.

I know no Slyver that lives around these parts.
Yeah Graffix, it's nice and custom made box (damn cab is SOOO small). Did I mention I have a Viper Security system asl well, that I never use. haha And I do want to get back into it but it's so ------- costly and nothing last like it use too. Plus I have hearing loss in both ears now. But it was well worth it. :neutral:

Oh, I want to take this time to say that I have to hand it to VW as well...
I dont know exactly what kind of car it was, but I believe it was an older GTI with turbo....
I got my ass HANDED to me by this car.. I dont feel too comfortable elaborating, but uh... yeah... let just say I had no chance.

Euro Domination BABY>! WHAT LOL......GTIs if they have the right mods are HELLA fast for some reason....its crazy...My car alone putting out 220 is the equivalent to EVO 8 or STI...We all gotta meet up....Have you guys ever come up here to MIR(maryland international Raceway)?
If not you should come up one weekend...when its Battle of Imports vs. Domestics and you guys can come up here and chill at the car races/show>! :lol: And we can race on the way up with me whipping ALL OF YOUR ASSES :evil: ....
and Buddy I gotta hand it to you....That Explorer is a piece of work....FORD KNEW what they were doing when they made that.! That thing is CRAZY WITH QUARTER MILE AND I SEEN ONE OF THE EXPLORERS SMOKE A 1000 HP SUPRA STOCK!!!!....Lol...but explorer won to a result of a snapped drivetrain...But still won..So its Fast in my book LOL :lol: :lol:

05-13-2005, 01:31 PM
Well duh you'll pwn me with your car. Shit, my truck has a speed limitor of 98.9 mph. I get that a BUNCH of times traveling. It's a truck, that would be no fun. lol As long as they serve beer there Graffix... :biggrin:
Speaking of vehicals, my brother just bought a 2005 GMC Canyon Ext. Cab 5-Cylinder. It's real nice truck, that might be my next vehical. That or a Mazda 6.
GraffiXX
05-13-2005, 01:38 PM
Well...They make a Colorado EXTREME now...So thats Hot alone...Being a Proud owner of an S-10 Xtreme Ext Cab Long bed. My jank was Hot...All i need was Rims. But i wrecked it and sold it after i Wrecked it and Bought my GTI.
But I will say The new 5 Cylinder is suprising powerful. It will put out almost same as the 4.3 L Vortec in the S-10. Its an all around nice truck.
Now Mazda>!>>!>!>! wtf????
NO MAZDA>>>>NO ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM
Mazda blows...They fucked their cars up as soon as they strayed from the RX-7 that fuckin Rx8 is the equivalant to my big toe...Its a very disapointing car. Speed isnt all that good. Handling is Soft not rigid like a street car. Also the fuckin transmission in that car is funky i dont like it. Maybe because i dont have short throw as of yet.
Mazdas just dont do it for me..I am not by any means trying to knock the cars you like or anything but i just dont like em. They are weak cars to me. The fuckin Protege MazdaSpeed fuckin the turbo one...is a fuckin JOKE. I raped the fuck out of one of those cars in my gti STOCK. my car was slow as HELL STOCK...
Get what you like.But Mazdas to me SUCK ASS.
Get A R32!<<<<<gti or skyline <<<thats pimpstatus :cool:

I have mixed feelings about the RX-8...
I think they are kind of secksi... but from some angles/certain colors, they can be kind of gaye... (but that seems to be true with a lot of cars.. even the MR2 that I love oh so much...)
The power on them is SUPPOSE to be approx 240HP stock?... which, I guess nowadays, really isnt that impressive, considering the size of the car... I wouldnt imagine it being very fast...
Also considering that gaye neon, err...I mean... SRT-4 (had to SNK :lol: ) has approx 230HP stock (if I am not mistaken) and probably a whole lot lighter
What Mazda really needs to do.. is go back to the RX-7 3rd Gen, upgrade the body style a LITTLE and then put like a 300HP turbo rotary engine in there... then they would be back in business

05-13-2005, 02:23 PM
You see Graffix, I don't care if my car is hella fast. Fast = Trouble/problems. I want a truck, which I have and now a car. Something somewhat sporty and has more ummpth then my truck (everything) but not to expensive. I leave all my vehicals stock but stereo and I had rims on my truck for awhile but took them off and put the stock ones back on. I would love to have a fast ass car don't get me wrong but it's not worth the money right now for me. I have better things to get first. House, land, etc. I would rather have a 4-wheeler first.
Buddy, I'll keep you in mind when I decide to buy. Anything helps. :smile:
GraffiXX
05-13-2005, 02:35 PM
true that priorities come first....Like you said House and all that shit...But i had the money to throw around....so i bought about 5 grand worth of parts for my car...total i spent was bout 5,500
I am not one of those people that live a 1/4 of a mile at a time...that shit is gay...Im bout Sprinting to the speeds i need to get to...and i love my fast cars...I am planning a trip to germany to take a ride on the autobahn with a couple of folks i know with Skylines, RX-7 and Supras. I know right now i cant run with those cars as of now...BUT as it stands in about half a year to a year i will have a stage 4 turbo kit pushing about 450-500 to the wheels on stock boost....but i am of course going to run about 15 pounds so my car will be really fast...so i am planning somewhere around middle of next year to hit the autobahn to race some EURO cars literally not these half breeds in america...The cars over here are bitch shit compared to what is over seas.
sylverarrow
05-13-2005, 02:37 PM
haha, true that. I'm planning to goto Europe hopefully next year. I got my passport and everything done earlier this year. But not taking a vehical over... How much is the shit going to dent your wallet?
GraffiXX
05-13-2005, 02:44 PM
Dont know yet....But im sure it will be a substanial amount.....Just for the freight to ship it over will kill my ass....then when i come back i have to put it through customs and shit....its gay.! But i want to DRIVE DRIVE my car...not this pussy footing around 55 60 mph 180++++ is gravy!
damn graff i know GTIs are powerfull and all when you throw a Boost controller on it and all but i might have to have my little "neon" show you somethen :badgrin: hehe but then youd probably turn your driving hacks on :rolleyes:

05-13-2005, 04:22 PM

'01 Nissan Xterra SE 4x4/V6/5spd w. Rhino Push guard, Hella beams, and rear tailight brush guards. Driven it coast to coast, and has never let me down. Hauled a UHaul from San Francisco back to Pensacola w. it. No probs. :)
X is paid off. Had a '94 C4 LT-1 automatic before the X, and an Stealth RT/Turbo 5spd before the LT-1. Test drove an '05 6spd Z recently, so saving my money up for it. Loved the performance of the S2000, but unable to drive it comortably (left shoulder was jamed up against the door). LOVED that 6spd and the high rpm range though. What a ride! That additional boost almost felt like a turbo/intercooler kicking in. :)

I have my little 2nd gen RX-7 (86 lightest of the 2nd gens). I have eibach springs, tokeko struts, street ported engine (similiar to cams), racing beating cat-back, no cat(s)(has 3 stock), HKS intake... blown differential.. :cry: .. I'm thinking about selling it and getting me a sportbike, looking at the Honda CBR600RR, then you guys can kiss my a$$ :lol: .. i'd rather have the new Suzuki GSX-R1000 (366lbs/178hp), but i'd die, happy of course, but still dead :badgrin:

Nice car graff....driving hacks... lol.. I have a 97' Camaro SS....nothing to say about it for now, I'm still recovering from blowing up my last engine. Used to be AFR Heads( unknown chamber size so far, gotta call AFR), Nitrous cam, headers, factory SS intake through the hood, Throttle body, 100lb-hr injectors, full 3" Borla exhaust, 3.73 rear gear, 02' SS 275/40/17 G-force kdws rubbers all around, uhhhmmm, bored .030 over, forged pistons and rods(not sure what make), plugs and wires make as much diff as a fly hitting my windshield, K&N air filter (who doesn't have one?), I'm thinkin I'm forgetting something but I'll think of it later...so sad I blew it up :cry: . Now I just have a factory Z28 motor with the throttle body, injectors, headers, and exhaust still....FINALLY got my check engine light off and staying off(stupid mass air flow sensor). Its a lot of fun, I've had Snk, Nebula, Sylver, and Ioscream in it doing 150 down the interstate many times.
Next year when I get some money together, gonna build an all aluminum LT1 engine with Supercharger cam, Pro-charger super charger, those AFR heads which are still good sept the 1 bent valve, forged crankshaft, pistons, conn. rods, I really need to get a fluidamper harmonic balancer to keep those vibrations from blowing up this motor. I want to be pushing around 750 - 800+ HP with a minimum of 15 lbs of boost... I might be a smartass and push 20lbs for the extra 50hp haha, but I don't think I have the balls... Car used to run a 13.4 sec 1/4 mile with street tires and a shitty launch... probly would run mid to low 12s with good drag tires.

I got a '98 explorer........all stock, top that.
Got an 87 F-150 4x4, but it's not completely stock. It's got 15" American Racing 8 hole "cheese" rims with 31 inch Michelin tires and 2 inches of suspension lift. Stock 302 with 103,000 miles on it. Four Speed Manual towing tranny. (three speed with a granny gear). And Flowmaster oversized dual exaust or something like that. They aren't the scrawny little two inch pipes, they're more like 4 or 6 inch pipes. They're loud, that's all that matters. It really needs paint, the clear coat on the top half of the truck has peeled off. It runs awsome though. It's not fast but I bet I can out pull just about any half ton pick-up out there. I had 2100 pounds of Porcelain tile in my trailor yesterday and completely forgot it was there half way to the job...until I had to hit the brakes real hard.
Strangely enough...as bad as the paint is on it, I still get compliments. People are wierd. Those pipes sound killer...maybe that's what it is.
So how bout some pics of these hot ricers? I'll show you mine if you show me yours

I would probably own one if I was a little older (not making an underlying statement)
but right now, I'm young and into turbo "rice burners"..or anything that is sporty for that matter...
I bet that car you have there will give some of us a nice run tho...Caddies have really stepped up recently... they have always been nice luxurious cars, but now they are luxurious with a mean engine.
