yeah you know what's up. I wish I had that engine.  '83 Plymouth Reliant, bought it with 50k and now it has 70k on the odometer. My brother was selling some extra wheels that came with his Integra, so while we waited for the dude to show up we rolled them in front of my car for a funny picture. It has random small problems occasionally that are cheap as hell to fix. It was in excellent condition but sadly it's starting to rust quite a bit underneath. $700 and I plan on owning it until it dies

destructo posted:Are you worried about losing any structural integrity? I'd just paint em myself for the time being until I could afford something else, rattlecan paintjobs on wheels usually turn out reasonable. What do you mean regarding structural integrity? The wheels aren't rusty at all (nothing rusts in AZ). I know a rattlecan paintjob can come out well - I'm pretty sure the current paint on them is a rattlecan job my dad did when he bought the wheels in 1990 - but it doesn't hold up well to brake dust. I'm hoping that powder will resist brake dust stains better than spraypaint did...and even if it doesn't, well, I'm going for a dark gray anyway  jhcain posted:For burning fuel, rubber and money gently caress that is HOT.

These seem to be popular on here. '07, DSG, 20k miles (but the picture is over a year old). It still looks exactly the same, except that it's got a roof rack on it now.

wwb posted:Here's a side view too. Look at the motherfucking wheels. That is a great looking car. IMO the E39 is the last BMW that still looked genuinely classy. When I get rid of my current E46 it'll be a tough choice between a 2006 330i ZHP or a 2003 530i. Hopefully by then I might be able to afford both.

warwick5s posted:I used to carry a ridiculous amount of bass gear in my 240SX. Upright + 112 cab and head + stool, or an SWR 6x10 speaker cab + two basses + six space rack. Surprisingly great cars for hauling stuff. Helps that my gear is all markbass but yeah, suprisingly easy to get a heap of stuff in there. Would be easier if I made the speakers in the parcel shelf easier to disconnect, along with moving the amp off the back of the rear seats.

CamH posted:Behind it is an '89 BMW 530si that a buddy and I are slapping together for a $1000 autocross competition next season. The E28 chassis (which I see pictured under the cover) ended in 1988 with the '88 model year, unless I am mistaken. Additionally, for that era, it would be an iS as the Si convention didn't come about really until the z4. I'm curious though, 530, are you using the 3.0 v8 from an e34? Or an S50? jambo posted:This is simply a stunning photograph! I am absolutely in love. Is there any chance you could email me a high res? I mean, high res?! I presently drive a 2004 Volvo S60R. It is completely stock and when I was learning how to dyno, I discovered it puts down 251awhp and 261awtq. It is quite camera shy at the moment as it is covered in the dirty remnants from the freezing weather/snow.

Here is my project car the first day out of the garage. I'll be updating my thread with the latest very soon. It's a 1986 325e for daily driver duties. This is my summer time fun car, a 1999 M3 with all the heaviest options and no modifications. I do have a second set of wheels for racing, however.

Eventual project: 1970 Olds Toronado. Currently needs every gasket and seal replaced, and the paint is shot.   Daily driver, possibly the crappiest car posted so far: 1998 Saturn SL1 5sp. The poster child of abuse and neglect. The duct tape does help the gas mileage.

Totally stock Schwartz 120k mile 1991 318is grocery getter and part time commuter soon to be Tahoe road tripper. For some reason a PO chromed the wheels, which I hate. My tarmac rally, hillclimb, trackday fun times EFI L18 powered 1972 510 offroading in Downieville, CA.  Getting down to bidnez on our way to 9th place over all at Targa Newfoundland 2007.  My latest addition a 1987 951. Stock but with awesome factory options (LSD, Sport Seats being the big 2), in great shape with 98,000 miles and a fresh repaint. The really cool thing is the history. In 1987, taking euro-delivery in it, my family took a month long vacation with this car; I was 9, my brother 11. That trip was a great childhood memory. We visited lots of race tracks, drove really fast (255kph indicated) on the autobahn, and I got to see a whole lot of western Europe as a little kid. Here I am in an awesome sweatsuit at a closed mountain pass (in May). Lots of alpine roads were driven. I still have my journal that I wrote from this trip, which is pretty funny to read now.  Since then my dad has kept it as a summer only car taking it to the occasional track day, until 2005 when he decided at the last minute to enter it in the Targa Newfoundland when my brother was headed there with a 240Z. A really nicely integrated cage was welded in (with host of removable bars), and the car was run really hard for 1500km, using up a transmission in the process.  Oh and some bodywork (hence the repaint).  Since then he tidied it up a bit and found its replacement for his 60th birthday this summer, an 07 GT3. With the new p-car on the way the 944 needed a home, and I offered to take her in. My gf and I now switch up between this in the BMW for getting to work, and it is our weekend GT car. Thinking of doing some hillclimbing and Nevada open road racing in it next summer -- it has the power and aerodynamics that my 510 lacks for these events. It also came with a set of RA-1s on ultra rare Mag alloy 944 Turbo Cup wheels (16x8/16x9) that are taking up space in my apartment and aren't gonna get used up by themselves. Since getting it in November I've painted the wheels and re-assembled the interior. Have a couple of small issues to take care of, but aside from that it has been awesome to own and drive so far.  Next up is sticking this on the hatch glass. Left over from our trip to Europe in 1987.

I wasn't in any position for another car though. ynotony posted:Is it beached here? I'm not exactly sure what you mean by beached, but I think that's supposed to be a drifting action shot. There's a tiny amount of smoke behind the rear wheel, which also *appears* to be turning faster than the front wheels, but that could be because of the mis-matched wheels.

2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP I've had it two years now and it's been solid as a rock. I'll have it paid off in a few months. After that I'll have the coin to do a few small cosmetic things to it and a whole lot of fun engine mods. This coming summer will be fun.
