GTP_WRS'ers and their ride...

[WhiteAnimal166]

Thanks for the compliments. You've made your Yaris a nice appearance on the roads as well. And yes, agree about the arches. But then, ANY car looks better lowered.

And yes the wheel is the same, just a different lighting. Because the 2nd photo is more in the shadow it looks darker than the matt black color with a (in the sun) light shade of brown/copper it actually is. Look at the edges of the spokes, the logo in the centre, and how the end of the spoke merges with the rim.

But i see the caliper is black on your car but red on the wheel?

I am a very big Alfa fan though 👍

This one goes in between the 1st picture with the black caliper and the closeup of the end result with the new discs: only painted, but no decal attached yet.

You gotta love a BMW E46 M3, it's definately a dream car 👍 And one of mine too

And the Alfas of Denur and WhiteAnimal are gorgeous too. I like the stock look of Denur's Alfa a little better, but the 166 is tuned nicely. Have you done anything for the performance?

And Wayne, the yaris is going the right direction If only I had a car

Hahaha thanks Bart

oh ok i see, i wanted to put the same look of red caliper on the yaris , but the cover did not fit 100% so i left it but yours look great , the covers i wanted to put on had Brembo on them and looked very nice , but yeah.... did not fit njow i want to paint then red, i have the same red as my car left from when i painted my door handle and mirrors, do you think 2k paint will work or will the caliper get to warm for that paint?

 

[WhiteAnimal166]

Yes, we're in the process of replacing the 3.0 with a 3.2 GTA engine + chiptuning + removed some unnecessary resonance box and corners from the air intake traject. Found this engine with only factory test mileage on it, so almost as new as you can get it. Should be finished in a month or so. Think I'll need to open the drivers window to make room for a large smile :-)

So yes, the outside appearance and sound is matched by a decent performance, but of course no serious match for the likes of M3 and so on. In that regard Alfa has long time missed the battle for power and suffers from sticking to fwd. Even some of the not specially sportive brands are actually doing a better job than the Italians in that aspect

Mazda Fc3S shell with an Fd engine. Was dyno'd at 420hp but dropped due to a few problems i was to lazy to sort out it dropped abit. Was only very slightly modified. Had RE Ameira widebody kit and 13inch wide rear wheels to fit but never got round to doing it before i sold it.

and then my first car.

220hp 1.4 turbo punto GT, very very lightly modified...

My first car was a tan 1978 VW 4-dr Rabbit sleeper with an '84 GTI motor, custom tri-y header, Leistritz exhaust, HoR Tech springs, Sachs Super Struts, Neuspeed bars front and rear, GTI brakes and stainless lines with a Cabrio booster, GTI transmission, GTI seats, Schroth 4-point harnesses, Momo wheel, and shift knob all prepared by Griffin Motorwerke in Berkeley. The only external upgrade were Hella H-4 headlamps. No body mods, and stock blacked out 13-inch steel rims, running on Michelin 155/80R13 tires. It was a bat out of hell, and could eat '80s Trans Ams for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Light and nimble I tore it up on Pinehurst Road in the Oakland hills, with some hand brake action on the tightest turns it was super quick, and could turn on a dime (this is probably the tightest, twisty, road I've ever driven on). It was LOUD, and would set off car alarms when I made it pop. I miss that car.

My second car was a 1986 SAAB 900S non-turbo. It was red, and when it was detailed looked brand new. It was built like a tank, and I took it everywhere. Many times on logging roads in the Sierras to go fishing, or mountain biking. I later sold it to someone's daughter for their fist car. There's a sweet spot in my heart for SAABs.

My third car was my first new car I ever bought. It was the 1999 Dodge Neon Sport 2-dr, the last year for the 150hp DOHC sport. It had a beautiful raspy exhaust note, and was pretty tight in the turns.

I later sold that when I got married, and bought my fifth car, a 1996 Volvo GLT Wagon, which I still own, but it has since stopped running when I stopped driving it when the economy tanked. Don't quite know what to do with it, as it will probably cost more to get it road worthy again, than I can get for it.

My sixth car is our family runner, the 2004 Toyota Sienna XLE, which funny enough is the most powerful car I've ever owned, with 230hp. The only modification I've done to it, is to put yellow protective film on the fog lights (makes it unique). I recently put General Altimax HPs on it, and it's quite sporty for a people mover. All 7 seats are often full when we trip off to the grandparent's house.

A sports car is in my future, but with the economy the way it is now, and still raising a family, that is probably a ways off....hence GT5.

Clean looking Civic.. Not overdone or riced out like most I see. 👍


Edit,

[01GTP]

Thanks for sharing your photos guys. 👍

And Dan, I love the comparison shots. 👍 👍

 

[Fuzzy]

Good stuff Hyper-Dan, just wondering what's the name of the paint you used ?

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Cheers guys!! Fuzzy, I think that was montery blue (cfm) I ended up with.. Tried so many I aren't 100% sure now. I will check when I get in from work. 👍

 

[Small_Fryz]

Wait.. the 2nd one isnt real??

Sweet Ride Dan 👍

 

[kayman]

Work (ok and maybe a little play)

Play

Wouldn't mind adding a dedicated racer to the mix too. something small and light!

We all know the R32 dosen't look right without the blue.

 

[markyboy92]

If you mean my Blue Scooby then I'm sad to say I had to part X that one in somewhat of a hurry.

Now been replaced with one of these, not as much fun around the twisties but with 310bhp and 408lbs/ft Torque it's an absolute bullett in a straight line - quicker than the Impreza

 

[Stotty]

Well if Dan's spamming I may as well too... my 2 cars...

2000 Porsche Carerra, RWD, 6 speed manual

2008 Ford Mondeo 2.2Tdci Titanium X

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Chris you nana!! You already posted pics on page 1.. must be losing your mind in your old age

@ Fuzzy, It is Monterey Blue (CPM) I got on the R32, but also Nissan Brilliant Blue and Audi Nogaro Blue all pretty close also.. Shame I have yet to see the real DBP colour in game 👍

 

[Fuzzy]

Thanks. 👍

 

[FLASH48]

I don't have picture of my pickup, but it is a '03 Ford F-150 STX 4X4. Color is silver and body and bumpers are same silver color, looks like the Lightning in GT5.(body wise) Never owned anything that i could call a hot car, but if i could get a car now i would be get a 2011 Shelby GT500 in Grabber Blue with White stripes.

As opposed to the FWD option.

Well, if you've been wondering where I've been since about week 83 of WRS, here's the answer - just checking in with some upgrades - first was an overhaul to the audio system - here are some pics:

** Don't try this at home - it's pretty scary **

But the results turned out nice

After that I installed a nice Titanium bolt package in the engine bay - believe me, when you have a car from the late 70's you learn real quick to get rid of steel pieces if you ever want to work on the car later in life:

Before on the left and after on the right in each pic - these are Limited Edition Black but can be purchased in tons of really cool colors.

Next up were spacers for the front and rear - I went with H&R 15mm fronts and 20mm rears with full stud replacement all around - you learn alot about brakes during this install :

And finally, just finished this project yesterday and took her out for her maiden voyage with a brand new HKS Hi-Power Titanium exhaust setup:

You can also see in the pic above and below that I "upgraded" from the 370Z badge to the JDM Fairlady Z badge.

The car sounds so much better with this CBE on it and it looks much nicer than stock too. While out last night, I had a corvette come up behind me and start rev'ing his engine. He finally got beside me, rolled his window down, and asked me to rev mine because he wanted to hear it - needless to say he was most impressed.

In addition to all this I did the first oil change around 1,100 miles - submitted a sample to Blackstone Labs for analysis and installed a nice magnetic oil plug and MagFilter.

Next up: new cold air intakes!

 

[PASM]

Wow that is a stellar job you did there LinPark 👍
The mods are within the original look of the car and the spacers do the OEM rims good

Btw, this is the car that I get to drive from time to time (from my parents):

BMW 320d
