So i just replaced my '92 Golf III VR6 with this thing: Picture taken when i picked it up. We are waiting for a ferry to take us across the fjord. It is a 1998 VW Passat 1,8T. Mods by previous owner includes: - repaint from Diamantschwarz to matte Ipanemabraun - replaced the stock turbo with K03S turbo - front mounted intercooler - some sort of chip - slightly lowered - the worlds biggest and most pointless subwoofer in the back (3x12" woofers - this does not stay as it practically renders the boot useless since it's so god drat huge) - el cheapo xenon kit from ebay, in which the right hand side front lights works intermittently (replacing this in a short while) - removed the rear wiper in his hunt for a clean looking car (i want a rear wiper :-/) - diesel muffler (again, clean look) What have done?!

It's definitely slow, especially compared to my modified mini. But I am certainly enjoying owning my first truck and playing around in it. Will make a great adventuring rig with some add on parts. Would like to do some more lighting, roof rack, bumpers, and a tire that's a bit better in the mud.

Two videos of my daily driver lowered race bucket rollbar hardtop miata (Trackday, bro) Its a $500 exhaust, gently caress off! (Spent the weekend installing a Goodwin Racing miata catback and a test pipe. Thank god for florida not giving a gently caress about emissions.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2MrU-9QDoU Here is an older autocross video, with more focus on fun to watch camera views than the boring autox videos you are used to. Stay tuned for the third run with a rear facing camera on the front tire, in the rain  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrAsaPf23rY

I've loved these cars since the first time I saw an all black LSC as a kid. I still have an old issue of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords where they used one as a project car. This might sound weird, but does it have a JBL sound system? I always thought the JBL systems in late 80's/90's Fords sounded great for a factory stereo.

I hosted this cat from Westphalia, Germany named Sebastian through couchsurfing.com and introduced him to the world of the American Land Yacht. Here he's enjoying the shag carpet.  Listening to Star by Earth, Wind and Fire  En Route to the Flan Fest in Ybor City, Tampa, Fl  Getting the car detailed after sliding around in a sandy beach parking lot to scare the poor guy.

Terrible Robot posted:Irony.txt Actually the cones explode on impact below -30 Celsius. I went to one a few years ago that was -36 Celsius and marshals were recovering the cone base (as that's the expensive part of the cone) and replacing the shattered bits with a fresh cone. I think that event was a good two or three hundred dollars in cone replacements alone, even with what they could salvage and remake with zipties and spraypainted plastic. I'd have gopro video of the cones exploding but the suction cup no longer functions in that temperature and the camera and SD card are technically outside of their operating ranges as well.

Yeah at that temperature often times in a cone vs bumper collision the bumper cracks as well as the cone shattering.

Got a new vehicle on the way from California. Pictures coming Monday. edit SouthLAnd posted:I've loved these cars since the first time I saw an all black LSC as a kid. I still have an old issue of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords where they used one as a project car. This might sound weird, but does it have a JBL sound system? I always thought the JBL systems in late 80's/90's Fords sounded great for a factory stereo. It's still got the entire factory setup with tape deck, the JBL stuff was added to the lineup a year or two later. It's a decent Ford radio and the speakers sound great for being so old. I spent a few years looking for one of these in good shape and after owning a fox body Mustang since the late 90's, the extra legroom in the Thunderbird/Couger/MarkVII is totally worth it. Almost everything else is identical and it isn't terribly complicated to swap in a T5. I'm keeping this one totally stock, at least until all the other cars are at a point I'm happy with. There's a couple of Lincoln forums out there and a bunch of old-timers keep them chugging along with their stories of the good ol' days and arguments about how much air to put in tires.

Decided to get rid of my Chaser (haven't managed it yet), so I picked up a 'new' car for the interim until I can get something I really want. For the life of me, I can't tell why you Americans really want Skylines.. This is an '88 R31 Skyline Ti (that means it's a 'luxury model'). Complete with power windows, poo poo-brown interior and sporadically working instrument cluster! Any given time I drive it I can watch the volts fly up, then crash, go from having zero fuel to half a tank or running on a cold engine. At least the oil pressure gauge works.   Basically, it's a heavy, slow, uncomfortable, police magnet cheap car for me. Fun to drive though, and I haven't really got any plans for it - hopefully ever.

I'd fly that poo poo into the side of my car within about ten minutes. I don't think I can be trusted with remote control anything. I just bought this:  '97 (1.8L) Miata with low miles. 1 of only 556 Miatas made for the Canadian market that year. I need to pull the headlight buckets up and fix various small things.
