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

[Encyclopedia]

Well me and a couple of friends have got an old GMC van. Complete genital-pink interior and everything. Good for partying in.

 

[kikie]

I haven't posted a picture of my new car here yet.

It's a 2007 MINI Cooper, and it has bonnet stripes they just aren't on there yet.

It's great on gas, about 40mpg, handles great and is very fun to drive.

Nice Joey. Good choice on the colour/color.

What did you do with the stripes. Did you remove before you took the photo?

 

[gitSehT]

Photos?

I will try to dig some up of the older cars, the A3 has not been photographed yet, I will try to do that when i get it clean again (white is a bitch)

How is the RSX? I looked at one briefly before my Honda, and found it to be a fun car.

The RSX is a great car, no major problems with 170k on it (only a weird headlight issue, they burn out too fast). Handles good, same hp and tq figures as the type-s up to 6k rpm.

Thanks 👍

I was in a car accident and they removed them to paint the bonnet. I'm waiting for the paint to cure before putting them back on.

 

[Biggamehit]

new paint job i did... not show car perfect but it gets the job done..... besides.. its a grassroots drift car lol


some recent shots

 

[Silverzone]

Ok, so the 03 Escape got totaled in a hail storm, so I got me something new.. 2008 Suzuki Sx4. It's nice, and I've already put 1,750 miles on it for only having it a month... so yeah, I like it a lot. They've got some performance parts for it that I want to get as soon as I can.. Heres the pics. BTW: It was tagged from a party the night before, and my wife hit a rock on the side skirt.. easily fixed, but I don't have the time.

 

[McLaren]

You must have had a large passenger. Looks like the seat goes far back past the front doors.

 

[DragoonRaven]

Wooh yeah! Good work. Are you enjoying it? Is that the V8 or V6 model?

Yeah, just to clarify (even though someone correctly guessed) it is the V8 [GT]. 6 liters of unabashed Australian muscle. It is the most incredible vehicle I've ever had. Here's to hoping for more Holdens on this side of the pond in the future. That we're getting the Ute by itself is unbelievable. Someone up at GM loves us car guys.

Actually, scratch that -- here's to hoping for the FG Falcon. More interesting competition for me.

Indeed. The reviews are already saying how the V8 Commodores are better than the V8 Falcons, but in an un-fair comparo the turbo 6 Falcon beats the V8 Commodores. Of course a turbo 6 would beat a V8 in cars of relatively the exact same size! If it didn't then that turbo 6 would have to be pretty scheit. Unfair comparo, Holden needs a turbo V6 Commodore, preferably from the DI 3.6L V6.

Knowing the American market, Ford would never, ever bring over the turbo six cylinder, even if it was more powerful than the V8. It wouldn't sell, as much as any enthusiast thinks it would.

Even without FGs on the road, there are enough Chargers, 300Cs and 5-series to go after...

Ecoboost anyone? (V6 though)

Have fun winning for the next few years maybe more. Just don't race an M5.

True, the fact that Falcon in a couple of short years is getting the American V6, that could boost the potential for a Falcon export.

 

[YSSMAN]

Since I Never Updated...

The Jetta died... Eventually replaced (four months later) with a 1998 Toyota Celica GT. Only 77K on the clock, got her for a steal.

 

[Perfect Balance]

Your wheels should fit like this for coolness:

Otherwise looks like an awesome, fun car.👍

I always wanted a 240sx.

 

[Silverzone]

me wifey likes to put her feet up on the dash, so she normally pushes it all the way back. but yeah, it's a very roomy car. I still like it.

 

[Stevisiov]

That is a sweet car YSSMAN, I loved that model celica. Now if only it was a GT-four...

 

[eiriksmil]

A new of mine:

 

[CDailey]

2002 Chrysler 300M Special

 

[Joey D]

Does it have HID's or are they just projector halogen lamps?

 

[CDailey]

HIDs

 

[Vonie]

I always though those looked awesome, I love the stance. Quite baller, but take off the sunroof wind blocker, that just looks tacky. And is that really how far down the back windows go?

 

[CDailey]

I like the wind buffer. And yeah, that's as far as the rear windows go down.

 

[Barracuda]

I haven't been able to drive somewhere and take some good pictures, but I have taken one or two shots when my dad and I were changing the gasket and filter on the transmission.

My dad under the car.

If you look at the bottom of the windshield you can see that it has turned a blurry white. Do you know what could have caused that? I'm thinking i'll just get a new windshield, but i've never seen that before.

 

[DKX]

I don't know how to post pics on here yet but here is a link to my ride and the other cars that reside at my house: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3041942 Thats my 1981 Chevrolet Malibu Sedan, all factory. I still have to go in for my license but I have to wait a year for that. Note- Music ain't exactly G-Rated but there is some G-Rated songs in there.
If you click on my name noname666 it will take you to my main page where you get out the family rides, GMC truck, old Gran Prix, and a Buick

 

[deadlyz33]

Just some pics of my latest (third) exhaust finally installed.

Hey, nice car dude! 💡

 

[CDailey]

Lol.

I love that blue burnt tip.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Too big, is it loud?

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

+1 Exhaust tip is too ricey.

 

[GT Pro]

+1 Exhaust tip is too ricey.

Although it may serve no performance benefit, the current fad that is the 'burnt titanium' look on Titanium exhaust pipes is fine. Sure, it may serve only to enhance the overall look of the vehicle, but unlike many of the other aftermarket parts many may find worthy of the 'rice' badge, this is as simple and subtle as it is overall a pleasure to look at and something that isn't likely to make anyone cringe at the sight of it. I question home-made paint jobs, tacky plastic 'ground-effects' and their sometimes corresponding home-made 'air intakes' that really don't usefully draw air into anything, but the current exhaust fad is fresh and aestethically pleasing.

He was talking about the size, not the look.
