What car do you drive ?

steelsnake00 · Post by **steelsnake00** » 27 Mar 2006, 22:52

Ahhh ok, that makes sense

All the cars I've driven (not owned, I never drove the Celica but owned it) are German marques- A Polo 16v, Golf Mk2 GTi 8v, VW Corrado VR6, BMW 318iS, BMW M3 (non-Evo), Audi CoupÃ© (RS2 engine) and now another Polo 16v to add to that.

I worked for 3 months (as part of the school) at the local Ford Dealer, and could not get used to the horrid Clock in the center console of the Mondeo's

In general I liked the Mondeos, they where a good drive, pretty confortable and had plenty of space. but the clock... aah in annoyed me

in that time I drove the new Fieste (still the current, if I am not mistaken)

just before I finished school (to become a car sales advisor) I worked for CitroÃ«n for just over half a year, I drove a brand new C5 Break (pre facelift)(stationwagon) luckely it did not fall apart

After that I worked for Toyota where I was much more at place, but I did not have 1 specific car for my own, I used anything I could get my hands on

But even after a bit more then a year I said goodbye to the world of car sales.

Hehe it its on a bit strange position but i think u can also see clock on a board computer.
In my country Bosnia there is only one Ford Mondeo ST220 but we have 2 Fiesta ST and no Focus st hehe poor country but we have a Audi Q7

That Q7's something a bit rare.

Well i dont have it yet, im getting it about december this year. Im gettin a '98 mitsubishi magna. I had the choice out of that or a Lancer and i have always thought that magna's look really good when they are lowered with some good rims (chrome) so i choose the magna.

Why thankyou. It should be edging into sub-5-sec 0-60's now, and pushing over 175 in 6th gear.
Oh, and I've bought another Celica (for Â£50). Pictures soon.

Post by **TheStig** » 08 Apr 2006, 05:24

an other AWD?

I've been looking around here for AWD celicas but even a ST165 cost alot and a ST185 is not possible for over 10.000 euro

And to make matters worse, I didn't even see a ST205

On the subject of Dyno-tuning, my car has been on the dyno as well

It was a meeting last sunday with about 20 other cars. Many Honda integra's and Civics. Also a nissan S14 with S15 front, R34 GTS, 350z, ....

my result: 163,4HP @ 6400rpm - 190,6NM @5200rpm
I'm aiming for 200hp

The sheer number of Ricers running badly firetruck Fords on the dyno at GTI was phenominal. I dont think one pulled over 160hp, even a Fiesta RS Turbo with racing pistons and a list of other mods as long as my arm.
Yeah, another GT. Its a non-starter though

Got some new shoes for my bimmer

Post by **Pabl0z** » 11 Apr 2006, 16:52

The "shoes" look like they cost 3 times more than the car itself

.

FR 7660 · Post by **FR 7660** » 11 Apr 2006, 17:07

Just a bit cheaper then the car ...

To quote some school friends - "Finally looks like a real car"

are you going to keep it NA or turbocharge it?

FR 7660 · Post by **FR 7660** » 12 Apr 2006, 15:42

I just found out something crazy

...
My BMW is E28 ... the old rims (with winter tires) are from E22 ... which is a prototype for the 7th series BMW

Doesn't that make those rims a bit more expensive?

Maybe a stupid question, but still since those aren't ordinary rims

steelsnake00 · Post by **steelsnake00** » 12 Apr 2006, 17:36

Im not sure that they are. They look very much like E30 318i rims to me. The E22/23 rims are larger.
Why have you M-badged an E21? They never made an E21 M-series.

Hang on, thats not an E21. Its a E28 5-series, right? So they did make an M-series, but I dont think yours is?
Im confuused.

FR 7660 · Post by **FR 7660** » 12 Apr 2006, 20:39

Yes it's a E28 ...
To be exact:
525e ... engine - 2,5e (2,7) ... year - 1984 ... 129Hp

and I already bought it with that M badge ... It's just for show I gues ... but actually I don't like the real 5M series on E28

At first I wanted to Turbo it, but that's just too expansive.
instead, I'm thinking about putting Throttle Bodies on it, with also another exhaust and K&N Filter.
But first, I need a bodykit and rims

Please don't. Focus on the engine and sleeper it, it would look much better. For the price of a bodykit, go for BBTB, ECU remap, zorst, CAI, cams and manifold. Stick some nice alloys on it, maybe a shot of giggle gas, and your away.

Give the guy a break.. He can rice his car, if done well.

No real Belgium styling though, because that's possibly the most scary way of styling I've ever seen. Damn, it's all tupperware over there. Oversized bodykits and crazy cup rims.

BTW, are you located in Belgium or the Netherlands? I heard Belgium makes a huge fuss about modifying cars. You need complete sheets to prove that every part on your car is safe, you'll have to completely break down your car to bone stock if not.
