very common in my area also. Each state is different about that.

[|DRC| Messiah]

yeah its legal in CT but not legal in NY to have no front plate. I got one before cause I had a german plate on the car. Then got ticket and put real one on. Now i still get tickets. Crazy

[|DRC| Iceman]

Nice pics! I would take a picture of my 1992 Dodge Shadow (that still needs repairs from my accident last year ) and post it but I would put you all to shame!

[|DRC| Marblecake]

Its not legal in CT. Cops just have better shit to do.


Ice you better post that pic or Ill get the one off the f.t.p. < Dindt want to show it as a link.

[|DRC| Iceman]

hahaha! Thats the better looking one! Right now (and since sept 04) my right quater panel is basically fucked, my hood is bent up, and front grill smashed (kinda looks like gumby with missing teeth )

If I think of it before it klunks out on me I'll try to get a shot of my "not-so hot rod" and give you guys a good laugh!

After all I did only pay $280.00 CAD for it! ..... When I bought her the name "bubbles" came along with it because the previous owner tried to do some body work that "bubbled"

All in all for 280 bucks it wasn't a bad investment. The only money I put into it was 2 front tires because I had slicks on in the winter....haha....I could have made some interesting movies driving that thing home in the winter with bald tires on it! It somehow always managed though, just like old faithful! Time to put her to rest I think

[|DRC| Marblecake]

Hey Mess let me swap a vr6 in that bad bitch. Do you have the mk3 gti smoked tail's. I had those on both my 16 valve gtis. I love those things.

Funny part is I think I did more work on that car then you did.

[|DRC| Iceman]

Nice Ricer! However I am partial to the beamer just because its more my style (if I could afford it)

i highly doubt that.

but i must say you did help with the swap and the audio

[|DRC| Marblecake]

Your joking right. Do I have to bring up Dunns garage,fixing the system, the inner fenders. FPR also. I removed your AC and some other stuff with Dunn and Brandt. I also did your mom in the back seat aswell. That was a ton of work.

I'm not denying you helped out and did work on the car, but you said you did more than me, which is not true.

[|DRC| Marblecake]

You quoted I said I think, I didnt say I did. So you are wrong-o McFuggits.

Cmon your mom is a ton of work.

[|DRC| Wang]

Man, I gotta get some pics of my car. Problem is that I dont have a dig camera. I do however have a photo lab that can put the pix on a cd. I'll try to get some soon.

As far as parts go I may call on Tim to get da huuk up. As of right now I'm looking into a cold air intake and a scanner to re-flash the computer. After that (around $600 from just browsing) I'm looking into Magnaflow X-pipes and then Magnaflow mufflers w/ 3 1/2" tips. I probably wont mess with the stock exhaust besides that because ford did a pretty good job with the bends and it's 2 1/2" pipe to begin with. The only other thing on exhaust that I would consider is a pretty new set of JBA shorty headers. Still debating on side exhaust. ($$$).

I'm liking some 18" 5zigen 5 spokes in the front and 19" in the back. My favorite so far is the Eleanor body kit at www.cervinis.com that fucker is sick. Just hope that they keep it at a reasonable price because I'm going to end up spending a butt load of cash getting it installed and painted (I prefer to take it to Dallas where there's a professional Mustang shop).

All told I'm looking to spend about 7k-8k on mods/parts/paint. The problem is the balancing act between current bills and my savings account for the car. Poor me.

To Ice:
Believing to have read right in between you lines, here's what I gotta
say:
"Man, drive down to the US and make sure X--ZIP-IT! finds you and
pimps yo ride down to da shit stick maaan!"

(little side-note: a buddy of mine came up with a better version of
pimp my ride during a heavy drinking session. these sessions sometimes
really get us going. his idea: make a reality show called "PIMP MY WIFE")
you get the idea

To the others:
How the fuck can you sponsor these hot rides???
I honestly envy most cars pictured above.

My plan concerning "cars" is as follows (I took the time to
write most of it down for myself, plz read and add. There's a high
possiblity of my post violating the rule about staying on topic. If an
Admin believes to better create a new thread about "how to go about
getting your first car", I wouldn't mind):

Until I can afford buying me a car, gather ALL information, even
details that would be unimportant to a real pro, about:
WHAT CAR it'd be:
- buying cost
- running costs
- availability of tuning parts
- tuning parts costs
- assembly cost
ABOUT CARS:
- which one sell for what money
- what are other's opinions of a specific car
- how to drive
- how to properly refill and maintain the fucker
- ultra proper stick shifting in regard to car and situation and
preference, as well as economically sensible
- learn more of situations in general driving. cmon, let's face it,
most ppl (including me and you) are to a more or less degree
morons on the street! what i still need info on: how fast can I
drive to be actually ABLE to pay the bill if i actually was caught
(hasn't happened, and that's no accident ). where's the limit,
how far can I push the car taking into consideration other
dumfucks on the road (which ARE inevitalbe), what ways are there
of telling how good/bad i actually am as a driver that intends on
touching the "responsible limit"?
- technical background. AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, beyond efficiency.
to do this i need help. contacts who DO KNOW shit about cars. So
far I know marble knows what he's talking about, and 2-3 others
that are local here. but not enough resources yet! High efficiency
depends on teamwork, rite.?
ABOUT INSURANCE
- yes that IS a biggy over here in Europe. Not everything is legally
possible
EXPERIENCE TO INTERCONNECT THESE aspects of buying a car to
find the right one
- reading mags, online, ask people, watch tv
- check prices in local ads, car magz, etc.
=> get a decent understanding and avoid making a newb's fault
beforehand.
Until then I rely on the generosity of family and friends.


I'm convinced there's dedicated websites that offer next-to-complete
guides that cover these few points. To avoid low efficiency in this
process, plz check out my upcoming (not expectantly soon) article
in the NEWS draft section and help me out!!!

ITs finished except for its needs to be buffed anyways here are some shots.

I like the body kit. I assume wheels are on the to-do list?

[|DRC| SLIM]

[|DRC| Marblecake]

[|DRC| Messiah]

marble is rocking it with that thing

[|DRC| Messiah]

I will post more on my VW and boxter when i take pics of them. Cars need to be washed first

[|DRC| Voodoo]

Wow, Intekra. Now that I actually know a thing or two about cars, I'm highly impressed. When I first got my Eclipse I think I thought our cars were pretty evenly matched but I was an idiot so it's okay. Now that I actually know what "H22 swap" and "ceramic race header" are, I realize the money and power of your car.

I don't think Fuggi's car is ricey at all, you have to give him a lot of credit. He's probably spent over $12k in performance alone... my turbo system is staggering around $6k right now and I'll still be slower than SVT Cobra's. A ricer entails shitty body work, big aluminum spoilers, and no performance mods to back it up other than a Folger's coffee can muffler and "removed MAF screens". John's car on the other hand, which is hella clean, looks great, and is fast as hell. So...

J/K I love you Iceman
