Car and Mods

Post by moffman93' »

What kind of Car do you drive and what do you have done to it. I dont care about your POS cavalier, tell me about your fun car. If you don't have one, stay the hell out of this thread.

1991 3000gt vr4 - stock compression ross pistons, ross rods, forged crank, mildly ported heads, aluminum y-pipe, boost controller, gutted main cat, open air intake, 25spline output shaft.

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
No modifications and its staying that way.

Haven't had time to wax it up and give it a decent photo shoot, i just have a few shots i took on from Houma, LA to Houston, TX to pick up my friend's 240sx he decided to purchase.

The second to last shot was taken while doing 125ish on an abandoned part of US90, i find it funny that my camera bleeds green on lighter parts of most pictures, yet manages to catch the road perfectly at 125mph...



Soon i will purchase a street bike, then ill be looking for a 1st gen VR-4 as the summer comes nearer...

Gremlin why did you go with a 4" exhaust on 9bs? Thats just a waste of low end torque if you ask me.

2006 Acura TL Navi
not as fun to drive as the Evo, but with the upgrade of the wheels/tires to Evo wheels/tires, it got some "fun" back. definitely made up for the lack of straight line thrust through lots of techie toys inside (Navi, voice recognition, bluetooth, 5.1 audio, etc). upgraded the interior/trunk, plate light to super white LEDs. upgraded the fogs to Silverstars and installed an A-spec front lip. pretty much it for now. car definitely needs more suspension travel, so maybe Tein Basics in the future, along with maybe a switch to the 18" BBS from the Evo X once they become available in the aftermarket.

1992 VR4

13Ts
DSM SMICs
450 blue tops
LS1 maf/maft
ATR downpipe
SBC-id iii EBC
Scanmaster 3
PLX M300 wideband
NBT Quadco OS/Spool
Tein S-Techs with KYB GR2s
DNP Y-pipe
Gutted pre-cats
FN01s with BFG KDW2s
Greddy Type S
Hotwired Walbro 255
RPS Max Street clutch
MP solid motor mounts

And more preventative maintenance than I care to think about. All stock engine with replaced main/rod bearings, timing belt, water pump, oil pump, valve stem seals, acc belts, and just about every gasket/nut/bolt/line on the car has been replaced at some point or another. There's definitely a lot more that I'm forgetting too. Like stuff that has been deleted, cosmetic stuff, etc.
