Yes I know, it needs paint. I'm working on that.
@Kyuusei are those bullet hole repairs in the door? haha
would be a pretty slick little car with some paint though
If it is mechanically sound, I would totally rock that car until I had the time and money for paint. I would probably wait unto the NJ winter is over before getting new paint on that car unless too much bare metal is exposed.Quote:

I like them. The model was discontinued years ago but I'm pretty much an enthusiast and know my way around cars so yet, there's no problem for me owning a couple of them. The XR4Ti's have a turbocharged I4 engine and a crapload of options, while the European XR4i have a 2.8 V6 and alot less options.

I believe that not every US citizen on this forum earn over 70 000$/year :D

I don't want to imagine what my 2 year old son is going to do to the leather seats!

True, especially when you compare the good old 350 and 500 back in the 60s, the 350 sucked in everything compared to 500:Quote:

You wont find this under a GT350!
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_W...0/IMG_3699.JPG
The GT500 is ford factory produced. Its a hand built motor with a good history. The GT350 is still based on the coyote platform and is made in Las Vegas by Shelby. Its a car with more overall potential than the GT350, which is pretty much peaked as is. The 5.4L is basically a race motor. Fully forged internals and a hand built mill. Its costs over $21K as a crate motor. It shares a lot in common with the Ford GT powerplant. It is the same motor used in their Cobra Jet race mustangs and a many personal drag queens. Its commonly seen pushing 1000 bhp with the right supercharger. I am quite pleased with the purchase. Ford racing also offers a 625+ supercharger upgrade that retains the factory warrantee, or I could just got nuts and give it 850 bhp with the Shelby Super Snake package.
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_W...0/IMG_3697.JPG
The motor even has a nameplate recognizing the engine builder. Thank you Brian Klepak, wherever you are :)

Nice. Thats funny how you too have the Scuby for weather and the ZR1 for pleasure. My winter ride is a Forester XT Cobb'd up to stage II.
I love forester XT's I actually wanted one for a while but finding one that was a 5 speed and WRB is next to impossible. Apparently only around 300 of them were made.Quote:

If you can find a copy of Bill Cosby "200MPH" have a laugh at his one time drive in his Shelby 800bhp/200mph AC Cobra Supper Sanke. The car was hand built for Corsby by Shelby in 1966 and Crosby only drove it once before handing it back as he said it was to fast to live! Sometime to much power on the road is a bad thing.
Crosby had the punch line, asking if the car should be given to the then Alabama Governor George Wallace! Just had another listen, classic!
Nice Chinaguy.

It's nor the correct place, but can I ask you something? How often do you clean you loop?
Clean my loop as in my computer loop? Not too often probably break it down maybe every 6-8 months. And thank you my dad's car is absolutely scary to drive coming from a tuned STI's standpoint which is considered fast by most people. I have a lot of parts at home my dad wont let me install as of now :( He is a 30+ year ASE master tech and likes everything stock except all the cars he has built in the past....shifting from even 2nd-3rd in his car is terrifying explaining why I am the only other person to have driven his car :cool:Quote:

Looks like I am not a Ford man, 6.0L Turbo Diesel. Rather fun to drive. Miss my old Cummins though! I would kill to swap a 5.9L Common Rail Cummins into my truck!
ARP Headstuds and an EGR delete is the only thing a 6.0 needs to be a real screamer.
Referring to the ZR1..... as Jeremy Clarkson said when comparing it to "hand built" Ferrari engines....
"Well done fat man from Kentucky!"
hehehehe
Well, i don't technically own any, but the cars i have access to are an '05 RX-8, '04 2 door Blazer ZR-2 2WD(yeah, it's stupid, i know), and an '02 Accord.

Hate big wings. Trying to keep it as clean as I can.:)
Thank you. Wings are dumb and pointless for street cars. Teenagers stop putting them on your cars they are ugly.Quote:

the angle decides what direction the air force goes, so if u flip it over it will be lift they are made for down force (downward lift) and some of the newer ones can generate lift at 30mph, but when do teenagers do turns.Quote:

theres alot of nice body kits for jap cars but most of the kits u see are not installed correctly and are not racing kits and are to look like fast and the furious on hondas.Quote:

Here are my "children"
1996 Pontiac Grand Prix 3100. I try to take pretty care of my cars, it's got 196,000 miles on it right now. Won't be long and it'll be crossing 200,000. It was my first car and hopefully I'll hold on to it for a long long time. Always gets full synthetic changed every 5,000 miles. Burns about a quart in that time...alot better than some new cars!
2001 Chevy Monte Carlo SS. It's almost loaded...I'm just missing heated leather. Rides nice, handles nice, and has a little bit of get up and go. It's just got a plain 3800 but it goes well enough. Love the gas mileage I get with it too, on trips I can get about 30 MPG. Also full synthetic oil every 5,000 miles with roughly the same consumption...though this is still a baby at 113,000 miles.
1930 Ford Model A. This was my grandpa's car, he restored it and it was passed on to me. I've had to do quite a bit of up keep through the years but its all worth it. Great little car with a lot of history.
Was able to finally take a break from work and give my redhead a good wash and wax.
