Gunstar 615 Report post Posted June 26, 2013 2005 Lancer Ralliart (not mine pictured). Bone stock, only thing I changed on it was to add the MOMO wheel from a EVO. It's a nice little ride, comfy and just quick enough to have fun. Kinda rough on long trips tho, as the suspension is a 'lil on the stiff side. I also have a '69 Mustang, in the middle of a long term restoration. Not worth posting pics right now tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also have a '69 Mustang, in the middle of a long term restoration. Not worth posting pics right now tho. Funny, I have almost the same car! Lancer 2.0 Intense (135PS) '07 with some works tuning, sold as kind of "final edition" prior arrival of the new '08 Lancer: - interior Evo lookalike (including the MOMO wheel) - strut brace - alloy wheels (that from your picture) - rear wing (that from your picture) - slightly lowered and stiffer chassis All of these parts were already built in into this edition. I have it in blue metallic. Very nice car, nothing special but fun to drive. And I got a good discount, because of the new Lancer already in the show room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul GT73 1,398 Report post Posted June 26, 2013 no comment on my new car then mahnegold??? if you look closely i have a rear wing too, it keeps it stable when i go over 50. or is this an exclusive lancer club... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My fault! I have totally overseen that beauty. It is red, it has a rear wing - it's a Ferrari! Reminds me on my beloved first car, a red Renault Clio. Well, it ended in the roadside ditch...

Thinking about trading in 2008 Porsche and getting my hands on a 2011 Porsche GT3. No worries, the collection of cars of yours is actually not that bad. How are you going with your sim racing anyway...weren't you chasing a 2nd hand G25? 1 Paul Heijmans reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khyber 190 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 2003 Nissan 350z. Had it since 2005 Only thing I've done to do it is injen exhaust, pop charger intake, lowered an inch, 20" axis wheels, and replaced the entire stereo and speakers w/sub. Only has 70k miles. Paid for and I'll never do anything more to it. I'll never get rid of it either. To cheap to keep since I'm almost 28 now(other than gas, but I never go anywhere). Fast enough for me. 2 lopsided and Kevin Jowett reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clevohead 70 Report post Posted July 10, 2013 This is my family car the missus drives this every day. It is a 1976 TD XLE Cortina with a worked 250 X-Flow (Crow cam, Lifters, Springs, Weber carby, Crane ignition), full Lukey exhaust system (inc. Headers), full Nolatahne re-bush, Monroe GT shocks, 16" Custom rims, DBR Slotted rotors. I done everything myself (including paint) except for the engine my mate who is a mechanic built that. The missus was hesitant bout having such a car for a daily driver but now loves it, she can't go any where without getting comments, and she loves being able to blow off Holdens at the lights 4 Paul GT73, Kevin Jowett, CaTaPulT and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul GT73 1,398 Report post Posted July 12, 2013 clevo, what can I say, that is very cool. but im not sure if it beats my Nissan micra custom van conversion, ive always liked vans and the cost of em is pretty steep in the uk, I also wanted an automatic and a small engine, so I made this, I love it, puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, I just had the rear window vinyl done today, 65 to the gallon and singing all the way, got an isr and iracing bumper stickers but don't want to attract too much heat in this little hot hatch 3 Mahnegold, clevohead and UNKLE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
