1973 240Z. Crappy cell phone pic because I broke my digital camera. L28ET, Tokico Illuminas, ST Springs, ST sways, ZG Flares, Motegi Tracklite II's, currently getting Megasquirt treatment. Hoping to have her running again next weekend! I also have a polyurethane front end that I am supposed to put on it sometime.

Behind it is an '89 BMW 530si that a buddy and I are slapping together for a $1000 autocross competition next season.

It is now time to rock out with your cock out. BEGIN!

numba1wonga posted:

This is a great shot. Got any more of that trail/car?

Absolutely! Here's the rest of my group heading under that obstacle...



'79 CJ-5 "Droopy", 304, the most modified Jeep in our group.



'04 LJ 4.0 (LWB Unlimited) -- Later in the day, he managed to get the worst trail damage of our whole group by hitting a branch that stuck out over the trail with his fender. The only way it could've been more embarrassing was if he got stuck doing it, which he ended up doing later when he perched his rear diff on a tree stump and had to winch it off. :laffo:



'95 XJ 4.0, 2" lift, 29-30" tires or something. This little bastard is amazingly capable for what it is.



My YJ, back when it had 35" tires, about to get stuck on that rock out in central Oregon. :v: This was at the "hole in the ground" south of Bend. The trail narrowed quite a bit past the CJ (in the background), so we decided to turn around. It was an adventure.



And finally, parking lot shot, about a week after I bought it.

Ok that should be enough pictures. :)

That fallen tree obstacle in Tillamook State Forest was recently used in an ad for the Toyota FJ Cruiser. I saw the ad about 2 days after the first time we drove under it, it was pretty cool considering how many other obstacles there are out there.

1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 SLT Laramie
5.9 liter Magnum engine
Power everything fully loaded



My daily driver is a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT. Gas mileage in the Neon is around 30mpg, and in the Ram I get about 10-12mpg. But since gas prices have been going down, I've been driving the truck more often. Man I miss the power of that 5.9 liter!!

Needs to have the trans rebuilt, but a great vehicle other than that. Could be a bit better on fuel. DD.


1988 Dodge shadow ES. Planned DD for next year, pending a build of a 2.2 I have sitting around.


1974 Yamaha RD200A. 95% restored. I have a set of ported cylinders, Micron expansion chambers, and a pair of YZ80 carbs to go on this thing to "liven" it up, as much as you can to this anemic little thing. drat thing won me $1500 in a competition in our school district.

I take it they are elegible for import under SEVS? Or was that a personal import?

Who did you import it through? Is this car based on the ATTESSA U13 Bluebird?

Sorry for that wall of questions :(

I'm in New Zealand - the only restrictions on Japanese imports in that they must meet frontal impact standards (basically means 96+ with dual airbags). I believe some type of emission standards are being bought in at some point, but that's not finalised yet.

TBH I'd have got a Caldina regardless of transmission, but the Nissan was about 2/3rds the price.

Technically not my ride yet, as it's currently in a container ship that left Japan 12 days ago and will arrive in the UK around mid-January. But since I've paid for it that does mean it belongs to me.



1993 Nissan Cefiro SE-4 (E-LNA31 for the JDM doriftu crowd) This is the AWD version with the same ATESSA-ETS system as the Skyline GTS-4 and GT-R, which is to say it's 100% RWD until you gently caress up and then it moves some power to the front wheels, it also has the RB20DET engine same as the Skyline GTS-4, it's relatively easy to swap in an RB25DET and with some work the GT-R's RB26DETT will go in.



There's very few Cefiros in the UK, they are mainly brought over by drifters as the RWD versions are cheap and good for drifting due to their weight balance, the problem with buying a used one from Japan is the RWD versions are also used as cheap drift cars by the Japanese too, my one as well as being AWD is also an automatic so is unlikely to have been drifted. It also only has 28,000 kms on the clock (18,000 miles). At the time of buying there were only two other SE-4s for sale in Japan and there's a good chance I'll have the only SE-4 in the UK.



It shares a lot of parts with the S13 180SX (240SX to you Americans) and the Skyline, most of the parts from these cars are interchangeable and also interchangeable with newer Nissans, when it arrives it's going to get 300ZX Z32 brakes pretty much straight away as the S13 brakes it comes with are pathetic. I'm probably going to get a custom exhaust put on it, with instructions given to keep the twin peashooter look and to try and keep the noise down as I don't want it to sound like a Civic with a fart cannon



I'm going to leave the bodywork well alone except see if that Nissan badge is removable just leaving the Cefiro text, Cefiro badge and SE-4 badge on the back, this is mainly for the WTF factor as it wont say Nissan anywhere on the car. It's going to make a nice sleeper I think. Future plans are to find the engine and drivetrain from a C34 Nissan Stagea RS-Four, which is to say an RB25DET and a stronger automatic gearbox (unless it turns out that the Cefiro and Stagea share the same gearbox in which case just an RB25DET will do). Of course by the time I do this my job may well have changed and I can go back to a manual again since I wont be driving stupid miles.

In the meantime, this is my current ride:



It's a 1991 Volvo 940 GL that I picked up for £275 (about $350) that price is basically the car's value as scrap metal plus the money you'd get from cashing in the 6 months road tax that was still on the car. It also has an MOT (UK safety inspection) that lasts until March which is fine as I'll have my Cefiro by then. It probably wont pass it's next MOT.

There's not much to say about this car, it's not very comfortable, the suspension is terrible, the handling is terrible (mainly because the previous owner put lovely tyres on it I suspect) and for some reason I can't get the glovebox to open, (yes I've unlocked it). However it was cheap and it will keep on running despite the fact that the PO crossthreaded a spark plug and now it wont go in all the way and the oil separator is completely clogged. It's also losing antifreeze somewhere, but I've had the coolant system pressure tested and it's not leaking even though I've seen it pissing water after a high speed motorway run.

Ultimately I don't care, once I have the Cefiro I'll either scrap the Volvo or sell it cheap. If it snows in January I might find a local car park and take it drifting since it's RWD and I don't care if I crash it into a lamppost.

That's me on the left. Note 30 horsepower cold air intake. Only mod so far, but plans are in the works for headers (with side pipes!), new bumpstick, and a light shot of dat noss, maybe 50-75hp. Also springing for some rimz and a drop, along with some cosmetic changes.

So yeah, 2005 Dodge Ram Daytona, 1 of 11,000+ of the total (why would Chrysler tell us exactly how many?). I do know it's 1 of 955 Go ManGo regular cab 2wd's, and there's far fewer with factory Trac-Loc, like mine. 345hp, 375tq, and a big, obnoxious, totally useless, all metal wing.

02 WRX, 104k, Cobb Stage 2 (Cobb turboback + AP) + some other bolt-ons :), 15% tint, debadged rear, painted sideskirts, yellow fogs, Rota Tarmac II for spring/summer, orange BBS for winter, stock height (but soon to be on a Tanabe GF210/KYB AGX combo), whiteline rear strut and sway bars. Interior is simple with a Kartboy SS + bushings, Prosport Boost/EGT/Oil pressure gauges in the factory Subaru gauge pod. I just finished Plasti-Dipping my silver interior trim for the black S202 look. Very happy with how it came out. Next in line for install is my AEM UEGO wideband gauge in an MB corner pod. The only other things that I installed recently are Rallyarmor mudflaps and STi CF corner markers. I only have one picture of these after install, but it's a lovely one my friend took and edited:

I love this car. My next will be a Forester 2.5XT/FXT (if I can find one). I'll be keeping the bugeye for an EJ207 + PPG swap.
