Well, right now I'm driving a borrowed 1992 Dodge Dynasty... yes, w00t for the atrocious handling, horrid transmission, and 150HP 3.3L SOHC V6 :banana:
Once I can scrounge up some extra cash, I plan on replacing it with a Toyota MR2 Mk.II ('91-'95)... I'd prefer a '93 Turbo but we'll see... odds are I'll end up with a '91-'93 non-turbo and blow the rest of the money on computer parts :slap:
The 07 Solstice with a 2.0 Turbo looks like a nice future car for me :p
260HP outta 2 Liters is pretty nice ;)
Now they need to make a 3.2 V6 Turbo version with 350HP :p
That chevy is awesome old one... but, whats the mileage like?
I'll be driving a 205cti when i get my license in 5 months... have to be 18 to get a license in denmark :( , my dad and i are contemplating swapping the engine for a 1.9l 205GTI engine. :woot:
Right now im driving Toyota Carina E 105hp :slap: ..but i will probably sell it in a few months and buy a honda:cool:

Quoted BB Mods's
"J spec 2.0l block, Fully filled, .080 over,arias forged piston's,destroked and nitrated crank (-.300) help's make up for the bad rod x stroke geometry,Billet rod's,soft lobe cam's Thank's to Comp cam's,440cc injector's,56mm throttle body,tube header down to turbo,blitz boost controller,"soon to add tractic traction controller",progressive Nitrous controller,2mm larger Stainless steel intake valves 1mm larger on the exhaust,oil impregnated valve guides,no valve seal's,ported polished head by me,.030 copper head gasket,Jap 5 speed tranny, force 1 2 stage 4 pad street/strip clutch."
When we saw the car it was a beater Mazda 626 that never had the oil changed let alone performance parts. The CV joints were busted, the dash was busted, the ignition was hanging wires, the passanger window was busted out, the engine was smoking and choked you out of front seat, so much dirt it was cleaner to sit on the street. Ive seen a better paintjob on a sunken battleship.
The corvette and BMW were also his imagination. I remember him saying he had to take off turbo to save gas to Vegas...
I figured everyone deserves the truth instead of bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:ted.

I love it each and every of the 14-15 miles per gallon I get. ;)
got some pictures jeff?
97 rebuilt sebring (dont ask)
2004 Eclipse GT modded
only 19, dont have the big bucks yet
Mine's a 99 Toyota Chaser
2.5L straight 6 turbo with VVTi.
206kW (280hp) @ 6200rpm and 378Nm (280ft-lbs) @ 2400rpm.
I'm not sure about the ft-lb conversion as we don't use them here (and horsepower is a bit of an old person's unit too).

Wow, that's the most precise copycat of a BMW I have seen lately.
I have no doubt it's more reliable, though :)
i never saw that toyota before is old bmw 3 series xD
that engine is the stock??? pretty pwerful thing you got there
Yeah it's a pretty blatant BMW copy :)
The specs I posted are for a totally stock car. It's pretty much a smaller Supra engine.
It looks pretty much like a Galant as well. But I believe the Chaser was designed like that before the current(or last, depending on how fast cars import) 3-series style?
Yeah it came out in 96, so it was made during the E36 3 series era.
EDIT: They updated it in 98 actually (mine's an updated model) which was when the E46 came out. One thing they changed was the dash lighting, which went from white to orange. I don't know what colour the E36 had, but I know the E46 had orange. So again, I think they were trying to copy it. Even so, it's still a damn good car.
I see,:) once you look at the Chaser presently, I don't find it resembling the E36 as much back in 98'(when I actually first saw it):DQuote:

Whoa..... they need to bring that to the US.... I'd ditch my Celica for that. (or a Curren for that matter.)
2005 Ford Focus ZX4 ST (Sport Model) Post pictures later. Not the best but works fine for me. I have had for one year and only 3400 miles.

I drive my '04 Toyota Tundra, V8 4WD I need to find more places to take that thing off roading :)
well here in venezuela you could be happy with that tundra... the brother of my GF has one and he goes 4 or 5 times a year to the amazonas pretty nice offroading you can do over here :P
unfortunitly that would be a very long trip considering I'm comming from the west cost of the US. I think I need to find something a little more... umm... local :)
