Post up pics of your sweet rides!

[azscoob]

I have seen several really nice cars in pics posted here, and some great looking motorcycles too, but they are scattered all over, so here is your opportunity to show off those whips! Imports, classics, muscle cars, street rods, cruisers, sportbikes, customs, work in progress....
So go on, show them off! maybe tell a bit about them, did you buy it or build it?

 

[shortyjacobs]

2004 VW GTI, custom black rubstrips, black front grille, smoked out sidemarkers, (on the bumper), aftermarket DV and boost gauge, stock other than that. Still goes like stink

 

[azscoob]

I always liked that body style, the new ones are growing on me though...

if you chip it and install a full exhaust, they get silly fast!

 

[passedpawn]

Funny, I don't think I have a pic of my car except the ass end (which I've posted here before, but WTH):

God, I'm so tempted to chip, get a new downpipe, and new TIP. From 180/180 hp/tq up to 220/220 or beyond....ugh, be so nice, but so much money.

Good news/bad news, my turbo whine is getting louder. It sounds hella mean on the road now, which is awesome, but it also means the turbo might be reaching the end of its life...(which means K04 or above upgrade!!!)

 

[KCBrewer]

They're both gone now, but these were my passion until recent sale.

This was the first & only brand new vehicle I have ever owned. 2000 Jeep Wrangler - 4.0 with some work, 6.5" lift, 35" swampers, nv4500 tranny, 4.56 gears, detroit rear, 10.5k winch, and more. Man I miss it.

This was my 1948 Willy's CJ2A. Did some restoration & rebuilt the tranny, xfer case, axles, and more. Fun little toy. Nearly killed me first time out wheelin it (clutch rod snapped and it took off backwards on the side of a STEEP cliff).

 

[azscoob]

here is my 1998 40th anniversary right hand drive R33 Nissan Skyline. it has a boost controller, turbo back exhaust, front and rear strut bars, speed cut defencer, blitz intake, BOV, TEIN coil over suspension, turbo timer, etc..

That is really sweet, one of my dream cars.

I just gave this car away to a friend of mine as I didn't have any time to work on it any more, it's now the shop car for his shop.

1984 BMW 318i, stock M10B18 converted to a dual carburetor setup. The car is about as light as it can possibly get on all stock metal and glass. The car is just being built to be stupid and beat the crap out of. I bought it from a BMW friendly junkyard (he will always try to sell a BMW, for really cheap, before junking the title) with a rusted freeze plug.

I have always wanted an old 2002, swap in an e30 m3 s14 motor and trans, that would be a quick street car!

 

[azscoob]

here is a pic of my old bugeye WRX, it had a cryo treated RA gearset in the trans, built 2.0 liter motor, larger turbo, full exhaust, suspension upgrades, brembo brakes, painted carbon fiber hood, JDM HID projector headlights, fully polished piping, intake, throttlebody, and strut bars, a huge front mount intercooler, Rays wheels, dyno tuned to 350 hp and 320 ft/lb at all 4 wheels.....

Totaled in 1 week by the guy that bought it

Bru, thats a nice list of goodies there, I prototyped the agency power pulley, also designed the agency power rotated 35r kit for the subies and the 35r kit for the Lancer evolution7,8,9. I used to work as the head mechanic/occasional fab man for Vivid Racing (Agency Power), lots of cool cars to work on, sad that the owners are total dick heads.

 

[HokieBrewer]

Various stages of my Passat. Ashamed to show how she sits now. Marriage will do that to you

Get low!

 

[theschick]

Here is, or was, my truck (94 ranger). I just sold it, after having it nearly 10 years. It has pearl blue ghost flames, which you can barely see on one of these pics

 

[j1laskey]

 

[TheWeeb]

Here are mine. The Jeep is a 2000 and is a good compromise between mall crawler and wall crawler with lift kit, 33x12.5's, and lockers front and rear. The Magnum is a 2005 with 5.7L hemi, front fender cold air intake, Vortech Supercharger, Dynatech longtube headers, free flowing cats, Aeroturbine exhaust, and Diablo Predator custom tune. It dyno'd 420 at the rear wheels at altitude. The picture with the nice lady was a photochop that one day will grace the wall of my office in the brewpub

Here's mine.
Stock SRT8 except for cat back exaust and cold air intake.

FFR 1965 S/C Cobra w/ rolled Eddie Bauer Explorer 5.0/302, w/ 600CFM holley, some old ford intake, roller rockers, B303 cam, GT40P heads, pretty fast (if it were faster, I would be in trouble):

 

[IrregularPulse]

Very Nice

 

[TheWeeb]

+1, sex on wheels. I have wanted a Cobra replica for 20 years. Mid-life crisis tells me it is time!

The carbs were donated from his 2002 project car, which will be getting an M20 swapped in to it eventually.

He also has a nice old M5 that he is restoring.

<<<< jealous much!

 

[Walker]

custom built from the ground up....

 

[azscoob]

pretty fast yes, lives on 100 octane gas though. I need to swap over some injectors and remap it to run on E85, better power and way cheaper to fill up.

More please.

A 2002 is my next purchase. A friend has one sitting in his garage that he's offered to sell me when I finally get a place where I can keep two cars. For now I just have a 2003 325i. My first car was a junker BMW, and my last car will be a BMW. So will every other car in between.

Do you have a set of those fake nuts hanging on the back of this?

 

[Wilsons]

Do you have a set of those fake nuts hanging on the back of this?

And why would you assume i would have such a thing?

 

[dcbeerboy]

 

[Walker]

And why would you assume i would have such a thing?

I think those things are hilarious and if I had a big ball-bustin' truck like that I think I would hang some on the back.

 

[Wilsons]

Lol i hate those things, the problem isnt the nuts themselves its that generally the people who have them are some serious redneck dbags lol!

 

[Walker]

Yeah... I guess they generally are rednecks. I'm not a redneck, but... just for a laugh... considered buying some for the back of my Lexus.

I dunno about a sweet ride, but here's my work-in-progress. 1978 Triumph Spitfire.
