The microsoft image resize powertoy can shrink a picture down to 800x600 with 4 clicks and basically zero loadtime. Not knowing about it is the only reason I can come up with for not using it. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/Downloads/powertoys/Xppowertoys.mspx

I can't help but wish they had proportioned the mustang like a sports car, rather than a family hauler. Being that tall really takes the edge off its agressiveness. Chevrolet and Chrysler seem to do the same with their ponycar revivals.

Just a wee 149HC, attached to a toyota 4sp. It'll pull highway speeds but it takes a while to get there. The torana is the 'powerhouse' of the driveway, with a 202 and m20

ChunksNensja posted:To make up for the not-so-nice looking front end Ford gave it a 5.6L Windsor(factory stroked from 5.0)making 250KW/500nm with a manual transmission and LSD = Like you said the AU copped a lot of flak for how it looked, but I really think they had it sorted on the series II-III XRs. Finding the stroker motor with a manual transmission is pretty awesome. I wouldn't think twice about choosing a super pursuit over a SS ute even though I'm about as pro-holden as it gets short of being a perpetually drunk V8 supercars fan. sadnessboner fucked around with this message at 11:37 on Jan 3, 2010 |

Basically with an exhaust and a tune you can run a mid 13 pass and then tow your boat or haul a whole heap of crap the next day. It's pretty fun and handles well for lolpushrods and oxcart suspension.

Setanta posted:My '64 EH Holden - a little bit worse for wear as she has a few cancer spots, but I'm slowly filling the garage with replacement panels and reproduction parts to fix that. Currently running a 202 red motor but soon to receive an original 179 with a later model EFI head and fuel injection or a Nissan RB30. A premier too! Nice mate. I think that makes 3 EJ/H in AI now

Maybe you have to have grown up on a steady diet of the average EH, with 13-14" period wheels to see what is You Am I is getting at with those big chrome ones. The stance goes funny with wheels that size.

tobu posted:Amazing EJ. Does it have its original engine? Thanks. It's got a red 149 and a floor shifted toyota four speed in it now, along with a HR disc brake front end. Your old man's car is a beauty. I've always thought they looked best in that turquoise colour. With the spats and visor it reminds me of a cortina down here that I always lust after (unfortunately not mine):

tobu posted:Because if you are... nope nothing like them. They are basically just to stop the harsh Aussie sun melting you to some green vinyl. Ours used to hum so loudly at above 35 mph you couldn't hear the cars single speaker radio. The radio was called the air-chief and it actually was removable from the dash so you could take it on picnics. with all the changes it drives with the dynamic refinement of a turn of the 80s Holden  It certainly isn't a modern car, but it's plenty usable as a daily drive. I've got lap sash seatbelts, but I still end up sliding up and down the bench when cornering. I'm jealous of the picnic radio. My hope to replace the ugly modern cd player in mine with one was dashed when I realised how much they go for on ebay.

KozmoNaut posted:That's a hella nice ride, right there. Is it a 1.6 or 1.9? Australia got the neutered 'export' version of the 1.9, but this one has had an engine swap recently with a rebuilt Citroen BX 1.9, along with the transmission and some go faster bits from a 405 Mi16. Theoretically it's putting down something near to the 130hp of the euro 1.9. Even driving this right after the current Swift Sport, Polo GTI, Skoda Fabia vRS and Citroen DS3 DSport; the handling is a revelation. sadnessboner fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Mar 6, 2013 |

Has not left me stranded once to date Been daily-ing it for about a year now... Even beside the fact that you're car is awesome, there's nothing cooler in my mind than someone using an old car as a daily.

I keep going back and forth between wanting on of these to replace my Fiesta ST, or getting an older Forester XT. The Skoda is so cool but I want a wagon to haul bikes/camping gear, and the vRS is just as low as my Fiesta which scrapes everything the moment I leave pavement
