Wouldnt start with a fwd car that's for sure... think most 10sec cars are turbo/sc V8 atm. A light, cheap rwd platform, fox body mustang or late model camaro/firebird. ofc with big bucks one could build tt supra or gtt skyline.

When i bought my car i only had my eyes on that one model. Wanted a cool, aggressive, loud sports car that sent a message to hippies:toung: MPG didnt matter so long as it didnt completely rape my wallet, and didnt even think about insurance until i found out how expensive it is...:embarrest...

They recommend the 180SX because you're not supposed to leave it to stock power. Aftermarket exhaust, bigger turbo (nothing too big or you lose power down low), cold air intake and remapped/chipped engine control unit bring the power up. There are many 300bhp nissans out there. But remember...

I just buy pre-2001 models so the tax is based on vehicle weight and I can get away with poisoning the environment with gas guzzling yank iron :)

At least you don't have the average car tax of 30-50% :( cheer up!

a 5 inch bore aftermarket free-flow exhaust w/o mufflers to make the car go and sound like a racecar!! New wheels or steering wheel should bring most joy to the average car owner as most cars don't really benefit from intake/exhaust mods. Remap is ofc no.1 for turbocharged cars. Tho not a mod...

Are you guys serious with your premiums? 3.5K a year for a 206? I thought i was being had from behind here in Finland. I insured my first car (95 Firebird 3.4) with partial coverage (is that a term?) when i was 19 for 1.6k€. Usually everything car related has extra cost attached here but i guess...

Going to end up costing more than you paid for the car and you'll probably blow up the engine if you don't rebuild the bottom end. Unless you definitely want to keep that car...

While driving to work today i saw a slowly moving small fiat (punto? uno?) on the motorway and thought it must be an older woman... pretty close, probably in her early 30s and chatting on the phone on a busy motorway!:eek: I quickly moved out of the harms way in my Pontiac :lol: Seems people...

Money. Why wouldn't someone want a 1000bhp car?:blink:

Latest models of the Pontiac Trans Am/Chevy Camaro Z28 are ten years old. Good value, not sure how much they go for on that island of yours though. 98-02 models had the LS1 V8 which is pretty economical and easy to get power out of. Probably won't see one every day, which is a plus;)

Two unidentified cables coming from the dash, two cables in the glove box for a screen or playstation or something and a 300W amp in the trunk. The upper part of the center console is aftermarket with a switch for anti-theft system, another strange switch and a retrofitted cd-player. They're...

Thanks mate. Everytime I tell someone bout my plans they tell me to get a V8. Anyways, I was thinkin' a 3400 hybrid conversion, meaning ported aluminum heads from a 2000+ FWD 3.4 engine (Grand Am GT), along with aggressive cam, custom pushrods, LS6 springs for higher redline, etc. 220RWHP is...

All pics feature baby bro's 50cc moped as I stole these pics from him:lol: I've got big plans for modding after spending next year in military. Whaddya guys think?

Hi guys I registered a while back (2 years? 3?) when I got interested 'bout cars for the first time. Was active for a while, but haven't visited the site for over a year, but I figured, since I finally got my own car, might as well make a comeback:cool:. Bought a 95 Firebird, with an anemic...

Diesel costs more than petrol:confused: Now thats odd. Price difference here in Finland is quite huge, i thought t'was the only reason people bought diesels!

We talking about the one with the evo VII and other fun stuff i dont want to spoil?

Audi S4, took the ultimate sport sedan title from bimmer, nice build quality, advanced AWD, good fuel economy for the power and no lag. Doesn't look half bad either:love:

It's always seemed odd to me that most cars have top speeds in excess of 200km/h, yet you're not allowed to take advantage of that anywhere (outside Germany).

I heard the japanese came up with a kick-ass battery but an oil company bought the patent...

Downsizing is the word of the day, better get used to it, fellas :(. They're probs going to do the same for 4-cylinders in favour of triples eh?

How's that compared to your W8?

How's that compared to your W8?

I'd go with BMW. Performance-oriented vehicles with rear-wheel drive and straight-six engines:evil:, combined with nice MPG.

Driving around the town for no reason with open windows and stereos with max bass in the middle of the night :lol:

pink and green. Beige's allright for rolls'

Grandad from father's side is the only good old driver in my close family. Other one is dead and neither of my grandmoms drive. The one from dad's side DID have a licence, though she never had a car.

Well they make trucks and buses:?

Fisker Scania Volga

ain't there a limit to how much you are allowed to increase power over stock? at least in Finland there is.

35 mph in a 30 mph zone = nothing 40 mph in a 30 mph zone = nothing 75 mph in a 70 mph zone = nothing 80 mph in a 70 mph zon = a warning 85 mph in a 70 mph zone = a more serious warning Parking on a double yellow line = car towed away, 500 pound fine. Driving whilst just over the legal limit =...

Supra(RWD) or 3000GT(AWD)?

yo

Roughly, torque is the cars ability to move mass. That is what you feel when you drive. Horsepower dictates the cars maximum power. Usually when people seek to increase their low-end power they talk of torque and horsepower is associated with top-end. I'm not sure though:confused: Hope someone...

I lied about having a car :embarrest:

Fast and expensive.

hehheh, i didnt even notice we were gone 'til i checked my e-mail. Didnt have PC access for 2 days:sad2:

Most modern cars have good enough brakes already, while extra power never hurts right?

Well that's a way to fund government...

Yea i wonder about that a lot too (damn middle-age women). Been close to getting overran tens of times in the local roundabout on my moped (yeah, i know...). I do speeding sometimes too but never caused an accident (knock on the wood :))
