You can afford a Skyline but not a new computer?

 

[NIAL8U]

At the moment I am living with freinds as I have only just relocated cities and a computer is not at the top of my list, I would rather own a skyline and be poor then own a computer and be rich.

NEWS BREAK:
I just got a 2004 Mazda3 S 5-door M/T. It has a sport package, moonroof, in-dash 6-disc CD changer, and a Mazda6 i engine. Not only that it is affordable, it is also fun to drive.

Take note Honda: If you guys brought in either the 5-door Civic or the Honda Fit/Jazz, I'm already sold for you guys, too bad.

 

[mr schell]

well here's my car (not the best pic). it's put away for the winter on jackstands. I plan on replacing that fender in the spring (I had a wee accident). I got big plans for this car

 

[Joey D]

Thats a V8 I hope, I can't really tell from the pic all that well. But I can see why you wouldn't drive that in the winter.

 

[Josh]

It looks like a V6 to me.

Unless he swapped V6 wheels on for the 'sleeper' effect.

360 rider, you're only 17 and you've already got a good car? I doubt that an exhaust could add 60 hp, but nice ride...

Dude, that car is already gone. I've been working for a really long time with the school board so I had more than enough money for the car. As for the HP thing, im not 100% sure about the numbers.

That doesn't look blue to me..o.O

 

[Der Alta]

Finally managed to coordinate a time when I had the digicam in hand, and the car looked appropriate.

Here's the beast.

161,000+ miles, and one payment shy of paid for.

AO

 

[BigJamesGTI]

you know the month after the last payment ? Get a valet done !!!

 

[BigJamesGTI]

Oh sorry BTW my car is a 94 Vento - met blue - its got 17's, lowered 60mm, and full stainless system !

I think its a jetta in the big USA ! Same shape as the guy's in Fast n Furious, but without all the spoilers and stickers !

sorry to burst youre bubble ,but the focus only has 110 hp, so it is conservative too. Unless the Canadian models are not limited to the exhaust emissions? are they? If not I should of bought mine in Canada ...heh heh . The feddies here blame the ozone and air pollution on cars when infact 75% of the worlds pollution comes from jetliners and factories and oil refineries,go figure.

Just spotted Aero HOT's reply to this, and I thought I'd elaborate.

Firstly, the Ford Focus comes with a variety of engines (in the UK market). There are 1.4 (74hp), 1.6 (99hp), 1.8 (113hp) and 2.0 (128hp) petrol engines and a pair of 1.8 diesel engines (99hp and 113hp). The two extra special models, the ST170 and RS, come with 2.0 engines (170hp and 212hp).

Secondly, 75% of the world's pollution does not come from "jetliners and factories and oil refineries". 80% of the world's carbon dioxide (the primary "greenhouse gas") in fact comes from eructation - belching - of cattle herds. Of the remaining 20%, 18% comes from volcanic activity and plant respiration (plants produce carbon dioxide at night) and only 2% comes from industry (including cars).

Good eye, I'm impressed, since there really is no 100% way to tell a GT from a V6 (the cobra is wider than both) since the main difference is badges, exhaust, and wheels but they can all be changed. Since I'm still in college I figured the 3.8 V6 would be alright for now. I plan on building a 351W to drop in there when I'm done school. I'm putting in a Mac dual exhaust system (complete with headers) and a Mac CAI in it this spring, but untill I have more money the V6 was all I could afford. That and I don't like 5.0s very much at all, just a personal preference.

My dad drives a Saab 9000, my mum drives a Vauxhall Vectra estate and there is also an E34 H reg BMW 520i sitting on my drive praying for someone to buy it!

The main greenhouse gas in a cow fart would be methane.

mazda mx-3 with the KL-ZE J-Spec MX6 engine in it... ohhhh i love my car

That it would. But the cow's main production of greenhouse gases is through BELCHING, not farting. They produce a vast amount of carbon dioxide through their digestion processes in their four stomachs, and it goes forwards and up, not backwards and down.

1987 BMW 325is - Lemans Blue - 200 rwhp
1990 BMW 325is - Delphin Gray - Winter car (must i say more?)

 

[oscarfulz]

i drive a razor scooter

 

[sliderulz]

1965 Chrysler Valiant 225 (3.7) Sedan

Not the fastest off the blocks but accelerates ok, guzzles down petrol like theres no tommorow, no air cond. Buying a second car later this year

 

[Night_Drifter]

I drive a 96 Honda Civic Hatchback DX with front Si Conversion. Here is a pics of it:

 

[Josh]

I can't remember when the hell the last time I posted in here, so here goes again:

1995 Lexus GS300 Touring Edition for a daily driver.
2003 Ford Mustang Cobra 10th Anniversary Edition for a weekend toy.

Mazda Sex

 

[Michael K]

These are mine. I've driven the RX-7 since it was new in 1987. Last summer, I got the Land Rover and the old Mazda turned into an "eventual project", I'll probably never get the time though.

 

[skip0110]

I can't image going from a rx-7 to a land rover, thats a helluva difference!!!
I hope I havent already posted this, but at least its not in the last 3 pages that I checked!
My car is a blue 1990 civic hatchback, 1.5L pgm-fi engine, 4 speed stick. Fun to drive, nips in and out of traffic, but not much in the power department (92 hp?? if you know ther real spec, post it here!). Only mod is performance brake pads and sticky speed-rated michelin tires (on the stock rims, though).
A lot better than my last car, a 1985 4wd honda civic wagon. Those 74 hp barely even kept up with semis!

 

[AltF8]

Well, since the WRX is in the shop (something went wrong with the AWD, I'm afraid...), I've driving a 35th Anniversary Legacy. Not a bad car, per se - but certainly not for six-footers. Just a bit less power than I'm used to, also.

 

[Carl.]

Here we go:

I drive a 98 S70 t5, 280hp/290lbs with a little turbo tweaking, full bilstein suspension to correct its @$&%! undesteer-happiness.

....can eat a brand new 4-door skyline (Infiniti G35 here of course) for breakfast, and most german sedans without M or AMG badges.. ). accelerates steadily from 60 to 135 mph... I just love sleepers! , it also has the bests seats I ever known, and it's a nice winter car....

Well, I'd rather have a 540 (not the ugly last version, could someone find a new job for Bangle??) but on the bang-for-buck side, i'm happy with it!

Best ride ever was in a friend's 89 911 turbo cabriolet slant nose, tuned to 450 hp, with a 7000$ sound system, on a twisty road... aah... sweet memories

sorry for crappy english...

 

[Goomba]

Meh, new car. I'll toss it up here too, because I'm a whore and I like getting attention from it.

2004 Subaru Imperza WRX, Java Black Pearl

Subaru Performance Tuning (SPT) short throw shifter, and a turbo boost gauge.

Planned mods. Get this goddamn Shortline Subaru emblem, that was riveted onto it, off. Then, once I get some extra cash, either another set of WRX wheels, or Prodrive P1s.
