GTP Member's cars directory. What do you drive?

[rollazn]

There's a SE-R Altima? Is that like the SE-R Sentra?

Yeah, not that great of a move of Nissan I think. Why would you make a SE-R Altima with the same hp and no raised torque! It has sport like suspension and other nimbo jimbo but its nothing impressive. It cost excessively much, for that price I would take a Subaru Impreza STi or Honda S2000.

This is my car. 2001 New Beetle.

Yeah yeah its cute and I'll probably get flamed for driving one.

 

[Slick6]

Is that an intercooler I see sticking out there? Details please.

 

[rollazn]

Turbocharged Beetle?!

DETAIL!

 

[Lethalchem]

Turbocharged Beetle?!

DETAIL!

They make a turbo from the factory.

 

[Anaconda]

Yes that is an intercooler. Not much really done to it though.

Stock K03 sport turbo
ATP 3" downpipe and 3" High Flow cat
2.25 neuspeed exhaust (going to switch out for a full 3" catback got the exhaust for cheap lol)
APR V2 93 octane chip
HKS SSQ Blow off Valve
Bilstein PSS coilovers
ATP front mount intercooler

I was thinking of upgrading to a stage II turbo kit consisting of all the hardware necessary including the GT28rs turbo. But I think I might stop modding it and save up for a MKIV supra and leave the beetle as it is as a daily driver.

They do come turbocharged out of the factory.

 

[rollazn]

Thats cool! I don't see alot of Beetles around here. Especially not modified Beetles!

What made you get a Beetle?

 

[Anaconda]

Well my dad use to own an old one then when I saw the concepts for the new ones I was like...those look kinda cool. They looked somewhat retro, space age, futuristic, and crazy. It grew on me and also the concept of making one kinda quick so that when v8 stangs get beat by a beetle....they got beat by a beetle. Who knows later down the road I would like to put in the GT28rs turbo kit on her and make a desent 250+whp with tuning. Its all I really need for a daily driver. BTW rollazn you got a pm.

97 Skyline GTR VSPEC

You can't post this stuff and not expect anyone to ask. Any pics? If you do take one, write GTP rules on a piece of paper and show it in the picture.

 

[Ottoman]

i can post pics i took on my Sony P900 if u want i apoligize for the quality but my it's a cellphone for pete's sake.. cut me some slack

i took them the a little while back

some bastard nabbed the GT-R badge off the front to probably stick on his car.. u can see the black "void" where it used to be


I don't blame u for doubting me..

but i don't live in the states.. so gettin "acess" to this car isn't as hard as u think
my friend has an R32 GTR.. (pics if necc.)

incase u notice.. the car has been converted to Left Hand Drive...
i can't drive it RHD legally.. so after being imported i had it converted...

as for the piece of Paper.. if u gimme a while i can get that too..
the car is the shop... if u notice how low the bumper is.. pot holes aren't too friendly.. so i'm getting it re-sprayed... fri or sat i should get it back

 

[Slick6]

I believe you. You have more than 1 picture which is believable. Around here, you get sort of weery when people say they have cars like that. Very nice car. 👍

I don't blame u for pullin the BS card no worries... i'm sure there's been more then a few ppl claiming to have cars that they don't...

it's more the rarity of the car that ppl Idolize is soooo much...when it boils down to it all there are other much nicer cars out there... 👍

 

[Anaconda]

Nice skyline. Me likes!

I just drove my '96 Sebring JXi convertible for the first time today

Top down, sunny day, good music, couldn't ask for a better day to drive a convertible for the first time! Except for construction traffic, and fields that smell like manure (a praticularily enjoyable stench in a convertible). But nonetheless, it was a very enjoyable car to drive, good low end acceleration, very quiet, and good handling too. It could use a five speed transmission though (as opposed to the 4 speed auto it has now), the acceleration at about 60-70mph was not very impressive. But, I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, it's an outstanding first car! Now, here's to hoping the parents will not mind me trying at some autocross (once I get my G2 license in a month or two unless my dad wants to try autocross too that is...).

I'll post some pics in a couple of weeks since the right side has some very unsightly scratches and dents, so pics will come once all the bodywork is taken care of.

I did own a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 until.....

(Don't ask unless you really want to know)


Now I own a Saturn Ion Red Line

 

[SS2]

It got totaled.

WHat do you think of the redline?

 

[SkylineObsession]

My Dad drove one (Mitsi GTO) and got it from 0-160km/h in a seriously short amount of time. In a 50km/h zone no less.

 

[McLaren]

WHat do you think of the redline?

I love it. My first Saturn. I wasn't really looking at them, until I really looked at the specs. That dent obsorbing thing has already helped. A bunch of 8-13 year olds live near me, and someone managed to get pushed into my car hard enough for it to obsorb a dent. But no dent. YAY!

 

[McLaren]

It got totaled.

Yeah. It was in a parking lot while I was running an errand, and some lady with a cell phone in an Excursion managed to be speeding, and smash into it. She told me this..

"I'm so sorry. I didn't see your car there" WHAT! How can you not see my car there?

 

[SS2]

Crazy kids!!!

Did her insurance pay for it?

 

[McLaren]

Did her insurance pay for it?

Yeah. I had 2 witnesses that even saw here. I think her insurnace wasn't ready for a lawsuit for something, but they paid. I love my Ion anyways.

 

[SS2]

I'd take the 3000GT.

 

[McLaren]

Well, I wasn't ready to go and repair it. But I have been looking at the older 3000s for used of course.
