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.

1995 3000GT - 9:1 Ross pistons, TT conversion, TT brake conversion, full 3" exhaust - DP, HF cat, cta back, supporting mods, (13Ts on their way from the man Rob Beck! )

For almost everything else see sig.

CLiff notes: First I made a FWD 3S handle decently, then I gave it some balls, now I'm trying to get it to be reliable again.

93 Vr4. 70k miles.

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.

I got the car that way and haven't had the additional money to change the exhaust.

'92 SSG VR-4

Flying car mod

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.

Sitting like that till I can get a transmission...

thats one of the reasons i got the lancer. i have all those features, plus the chassis, suspension, and brakes of the two lower trims of the evo x. couldnt quite afford an acura...

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.

How do you like the Y pipe? Any performance gain?
