Title says it all. Lets see what you have!!

The most interesting ride will earn you a 10lb of protein. Why? Cause I feel like it.


BTW- Interesting doesn't mean best either. If you have a Pinto, I want to see it (you would probably win too)

I feel ya man. I had a new 2003 Chevy Silverado Ext. Cab 4x4 and had to sell it due to rising gas prices and just recently having a kid. Got a Honda Civic just like you, but it is better than I thought. Could be worse I guess...at least we're not driving an old beater!

I used to have a Civic too. Great little car, but sadly I traded it in because one, It's too small for a growing family and two, the wife wanted a Navigator. Stinkin' wife usually gets what she wants.

a conservative estimate would be 320hp at the wheels .. so around 385bhp

i was more concerned with a relatively quick spool up time as i did a lot of autocrossing, and i was hitting 260ft/lbs of torque at 4200 rpm (peak torque is about 295ft/lbs at the wheels) :)

I **** you not, I have a 2003 Mini Cooper. There is not another car on the road for less than 50K that maneuvers like this thing. Top speed of 140mph. People are quick to judge, but everyone who has driven it has been amazed, and it upset everyone's expectations from roominess inside to power, etc. Mine is grey with a black roof and black stripes on the hood. If I'm in the running I'll try to borrow a digicam to prove that I do in fact own this car.

Guys always say that is a "chick car" or that is "gay". OF course, girls always say how much they love it and that they want to go for a ride in it. Whose opinion do you think I value?

Boring-91 Chevy Silverado with my audiophile audio setup.

Fun-77 Corvette, full composite suspension, race prepped 4spd, side pipes with a high compression 383 rev. limited to 7k rpm. Soon to go in, either an 18 degree setup or a build using the new Bowtie Vortech Heads. It screams, and lights up the 265s at will, makes me happy. Can post pics if so requested.

I've taken a nice white 98 Celica and covered it with stickers of my favorite bands. Nothing to say hello better than a big fuckin HATEBREED sticker on the rear left window.

How has your tranny held up? I'm really reluctant to push 300wtq as I've heard bad things, however I have been out of the "nasioc" loop for awhile now. However, I plan on putting in a vf22/pinks/walbro within the year. Also, how is the COBB reflash? Is it up to stage 3 now, or still at 2.5? Smooth? I'm having troubles with the UTEC (as I cant tune myself, no wideband) tune, so I might try and sell it and pick up a COBB reflash, heard they are really smooth.


04 wrx - stromung dual tip catback, divorced WG catless dp, stromung race cat pipe, helix catless up, borla header, UTEC tuned for 93 (puttin down ~240/240), progress springs (no struts yet), perrin SS, cusco rear sway, helix endlinks, 18in rota subzeros, 225-40-18 s03 pole positions (unbelievable tire, expensive tho), alpine HU (forgot the model), infiniti 6.5in comp speakers up front (again, forgot model), infiniti kappa perfect 12in dual coil sub (in a custom trunk floor), both front and sub powered by alpine amps (forgot the output now too), exterior just painted OEM sideskirts, cleared headlights, 20% tint on all but windshield.

Best part is I did it all myself. Probably have put in over 50 hours so far (between interior/exterior/pwr mods/suspension mods...rewiring the entire system took me around 30 hours work alone, then I redid the sub box and made it into a false floor in the trunk).

As for where the money comes from, its nice playing the stock market and making it big when your young :cheers:.

yeah i've done everything myself .. the COBB reflash is fantastic so smooth .. they don't have a reflash out for the VF22 though, just the 30/34 .. the tranny is holding up great, but i never launch it hard, i autocross, not drag race

i wouldn't bother with the VF22 at all, if you want a bigger turbo go with the FP 18g and go to xxx tuning (i think that's what the name is) in CT and have it dyno tuned with the UTEC .. you'll also need a bigger TMIC

Now THAT is interesting.


BTW- I am going to have the members vote instead of me. It works better that way plus I don't look like an asshole if I pick the wrong one!

Nothing beats the smooth, sexy lines of a beat to hell 92 Ford Explorer. :p
Oh yeah? how about a beat to hell seafoam green '96 Explorer with 196,000 mi. (Complete with one working headlight, missing passenger side mirror and wheel well rust.) It's the first vehicle I ever bought and I can't bring myself to buy a new one. I'm gonna drive it til the wheels fall off (which should be any day now)

Or how about a 99 Navigator? Only has 40000 miles and is in mint condition. 15 miles to the gallon. Anyone? LOL! Gas prices need to drop, like soon.


I want my Civic back. :(

I think they get like 3 miles to the gallon. LOL. But seriously, I know gas back where I'm from is like 2.79 for unleaded right now. Luckily it's only 2.05 for unleaded here.

True but I didn't buy it new. I'm not paying 60k for a new one.

They get what, like 6-8mpg average or something like that?
Uh no...thats a complete myth. At 60mph I get 14mpg, 80mph about 11.5/12 mpg. It has a digital readout that lets you know what your burning.

Its just that it has a 32 gallon tank so filling it up right now is a bitch.

But its all for business and a write off. Thats why I bought it. Either I pay that money in taxes or get a very large write off (it was a tax loophole with vehincle over 6k lbs.)
