Bam. Reported on grounds of Double posting.

Wow, now he has the Eggs to attack my post? Who is this guy?

Edit: Based on his comments, I think he sealed his fate.

Might want to Google that claim next time around. It's been done numerous times. Nate Hamilton (a local pro-drifter) has one with a LS2 in it.
Yeah but I highly doubt he has that in the first place... But yeah I saw a 1985 RX-7 with a 5.0 mustang. Looks all rusted but it's the ultimate sleeper.
 
Going to his profile and see what pops up.

Occupation
Car Tester for Nissan

I've seen that before.

Car Tester? Driver? Engineer? Any of those would have been more believable. Plus, he makes casual spelling errors like a teenager.

Just Nissan? I thought he tested for Aston and BMW?

Oh hey, We're a phony website now. Sorry Jordan!
 
Isn't flipping cars what you are doing when you steal them and resell them?

No. Flipping just means you obtain something to sell it for a profit. Exporting cars would very much be flipping, as would buying a beater and fixing it up and selling it for profit. You can flip anything provided you are making profit ultimately.
 
It is an unfortunate side effect. Also, your phone usually breaks and photobucket refuses to load. Common problems here...

And also, everyone you know doesn't have a camera or a phone either. It's a truly strange phenomenon.
 
I thought this sounded familiar, fryercar bought this up a few pages back, :slighty offtopic:


I just heard this in a lobby this morning. "I don't care if you believe me or not, but I drive a R35 GT-R with right hand drive from Japan" (lives in Ohio)

Maybe it's his brother? :dopey:
 
Some people just need an ego-boost.

I remember a friend sending me a message about someone stealing my pictures and claiming my car as his... right down to the custom "XXX 888" license plate.

It was funny because that was a photochop done merely to hide my actual plate number. So he was a fraud stealing a doctored picture. I said I didn't give a damn, either way... it's not really an expensive car. :lol:

Thats hilarious. What sort of car was it?

Those are the same people who need friends as well. Just saying
 
My father once had a 700+ horse 351W in his old F250 (back in the '90s), but it was a stroker and built to the absolute max XD (I believe it was a 408W but I'm not sure and had some extremely expensive stuff in it. I'm not sure on his exact build on that one though. I know most of his new build though). The only proof I could preivde now is a photo of a blown up block XD. Well, the block is actually in fair shape and useable but the internals landed in the oil pan. 351 WCP-1 was one of the castings on it if I remember correctly. I don't remember what the other casting was but it was an early 1970s block out of a clunker Mustang his bud had in his back yard, I think it was a 1971 but I'm not sure (that might be the block that's in it now because he said something to me about an SVO block.). When that one went (since it is a daily driver) he swapped it with another Windsor buts it's not making anywhere near as much power now. Last time it was rated was just after break in back in '98 and the figures were 540ish horse and 618ft-lbs of torque. The new engine only has about 50k miles on it but because it sat for 5 years after the NY October storm in 2006. That storm took a toll on it but that's another story. Sounds ludicrous but it is 100% true. And like I said, the only proof I've got left is an empty block sitting in my shed outside my house. Everything else was scrapped. I do, however have pictures of the more recent stuff as I was young back when it all happened. The thing rusted to hell though after sitting.
 
I read the OP. That's why I said it would sound like a ludicrous claim.


I'll see if I can dig up the pic of the block off my phone. Tomorrow I'll head outside and write the GTPLanet sign in the window. I'd post a previous picture but then everyone would wonder because it doesn't have that.


AHA, I found some pics from this past summer I can upload in a zip file. It's a rust bucket now but 10 years ago it was well known. That's how everyone knows us around here. Big. Red. Ford.

Is it ludicrous to say I have a 15 year old Sentra with 46k miles on it? :)

I wouldn't say so. I know of cars from the '50s with less than 17k miles on it. Of course, it is very rare, but quite possible.


WTF it won't upload to GTP. Off to Mediafire I go.

You kind of completely missed the point of this thread.

Just an FYI.

I thought the OP said you ahve to back up a claim? Well I'm making one instead of searching the forums for one.

Then it isn't ludicrous if you can support. Making a post on it and then claiming you'll find pictures later just seems like attention whoring. More so when you are quite aware of how things work around here.

I see where you are going with this, and perhaps it was bad on my part as well. I can provide proof but I figured it just sounded ludicrous, hence why I posted it. But again, I do see where you are going with it.
 
Thats hilarious. What sort of car was it?

A Ford Lynx RS. Rare in the fact that only about 250-500 left-hand drive units were made.

It's a mechanical clone of the Mazda Protege, albeit with the 142 horsepower engine found in the similarly limited Mazda Protege MP3 (about 2500 ever made). Well... that's what they claim, but the Australian cars built to almost the exact same specs and with the same ECU (same in the sense that the Aussie and Asian specs have the same cams and the same lack of O2 sensor malfunction lights) are only 130 hp.

Okay, so it's relatively rare... but considering that brand new, it cost about two to three thousand dollars less than a comparable K20-equipped Civic, it's not really much to crow about. It's like going to enormous pains to falsely claim you own an NA Mazda Miata. Yeah, it's a great car, but why would you go to enormous pains to fake ownership of something so cheap? :lol:

Speaking of which, there are certainly a lot of GT-R pictures starting to show up in the "What Car do You Drive" thread. Not sure what to believe.
