WRS'ers and their ride...

MisterWeary · Jan 27, 2006

Well Falango's post here got me thinking...since we're all simulated car fanatics, there's a good chance we're real life car fanatics too so I thought I'd make this thread and ask the question:

~What's your real life ride?~

I was quite interested in Falango's description of his car and I'd love to read more stories like it. I know there's a thread like this in the main forum but this one is dedicated to the elite group that partake in the wonderful WRS :sly:

I also have an Audi A3 but the normal 1.8... It has got some cool sport seats though but I am looking to trade it in for a Polo Diesel because of petrol prices etc.

kragbees · Jan 27, 2006

You're going with the Polo TDI (red letters ?) Those things sure can move ... gives me problems in 1st gear all the way :nervous:

, very nice little cars !

kart.no.38 · Jan 27, 2006

kragbees

Thats the one. But if I had enough money I would love the Audi A3 2.0 TDI DSG instead!

kragbees · Jan 27, 2006

I take it you're not a petrol head anymore ... ? I hear the 2.0T's are hectic on juice ... much more than my 1.8T, I get 8.5l/100km, good for such a car I would think ...

shockwaveracing · Jan 27, 2006

my ride

MAKE: Ford
MODEL: Falcon Futura
YEAR: 1995

Mods:
17" CSA "Gladiator" Alloys
Lowered (twice)
and not much else

Wish List:
Turbocharger, or drop in a new XR6 Turbo engine...
Shift kit
18's

MagpieRacer · Jan 27, 2006

Il speak for the car i ride in as i dont drive.

Vauxhall Signum 2.2 TD

fasj6418 · Jan 27, 2006

my ride is a 1998 toyota corolla sedan... i don´t have pictures at the moment, but i´ll try to find one...

the only mod would be a set of ´17 wheels...

wishlist - a new windshield (yes, mine is a bit broken)
a new corolla would be gladly accepted :dopey:

bbq0801 · Jan 27, 2006

2004 Mazda RX8 6-speed, got pics but no digital yet, and its covered with salt..

T13R · Jan 27, 2006

MAKE: Volkswagen
MODEL: Golf CL 1.8 8V 5speed
YEAR: 1995
POWER: ~100hp now maybe

MODS: Too many to enumerate, so I'll list a few...
-17" Konig Troubles wheels with Falken sports tires
-Lowered suspension by about 1.25" front and back with Neuspeed sport springs
-Replaced shocks by sport Bilstein shocks front and back
-Bigger anti-sway bars, front and back
-Put in strut braces, front and back
-Remus muffler only (no catback)
-268 degree cam installed
-Port & Polish + Shaving the head down a little
-Slotted brakes with Hawk pads and stainless steel braded lines in the front
-Momo steering wheel
-Various little add-ons here and there cosmetically, like the lower front lip spoiler, eye lids on lights, extra cooling air vents up front, smoked GTI style rear lights, and so on...
-Audio: About 750 watts RMS @ 12 volts of power of which 500 watts solely to two 12" subwoofers

Mods I wish I wouldn't have done:
-Port & Polish with shaving of the head (WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR MY CRAPPY LITTLE ENGINE)
-17" wheels, increased the understeer, added more weight to the car (16" WHEELS WERE PERFECT)

Mods I wish I could have done, money permitting:
-Drop in a 1.8T chipped in that chassis :scared:

Bah, so much money wasted that I could have put down on my next car, which is hopefully a new MKV GTI 2.0T (Haven't decided on DSG or normal 6 speed yet, I'm gonna miss doing heal-toe if I go DSG). But the car is still extremely fun to drive, even if it has no grunt.

1964 EH Holden Ute........ runs a 202 holden red motor at the moment hooked up to an aussie 4 spd but i have a 350 chev on the stand in the shed ready to go... sorry no pics, on the way when my camera gets fixed!

Falango · Jan 28, 2006

I'll be posting new pics soon as I just had a 2003.5 MAZDASPEED Protege spoiler arrive today. Once it's painted and mounted, I'll have some fresh pics with the HID's, CF hood, and spoiler. I figured I'd post bout my car since this is a car game and I'm sure there are lots of other car fanatics out there that like to mod and tune.

Absolutely, look forward to seeing it, I quite liked your wheels by the way 👍

Falango · Jan 28, 2006

Thanks, I am so tempted to put em back on, but now is when we usually get slippery roads and maybe some snow, doubt it will happen though. I went with that wheel because I had never seen a car with it before, never seen that color on a wheel before, and of course, thought it would flow great with the car. I'll have them back on when I do my next photoshoot.

Tyre King · Jan 28, 2006

Nah!

You miss-understand my British sense of humour! ( as anyone, unenlightened that is, does!)

It was a reference to your location!

ie. Kate Beckinsale's Knickers!

There is bound to be VERY little room for cooling in there!
