I do indeed, but may not have for much longer. Thinking of trading it in to build a Golf Rallye VR6T or a big-power Sport Quattro replica.baadmw wrote:steelsnake, do you still have the m3 csl? any pics of that?
I'll wait for a sunny day, give her a wax and get some more pictures of her up (the CSL, that is)

Well Im getting a new car monday hopefully as mine has died quite spectaculary(sp)involves a nice neck and neck with a 200sx and the cambelt suddenly releasing itself from the cam sprokets at 6500rpm resulting in 16 bent valves and some severly marked pistons i would normally just rebuild but so far its destroyed 2 heads and spun a bearing whilst attempting to race a skyline. so off to pick up an escort 1400 on monday hopefully, goin lower this time 40-60mm drop and got that 1750cc 9000rpm engine thatll bolt right in or i could drop in an rsturbo engine ,chip it ,throw a decent cam in and up the boost a bit

Yes thats my philosophy if youre gonna break the engine break it properly, screaming at at least 6000rpm ,The 200sx i almost had the skyline was my mates and he overtook me so i thought id have a laugh and dropped it into third for a proper go , took the engine apart afterwards and the bottom end was a right mess, not only had it spun a bearing itd thrown a rod aswell lots of shrapnel and bits of small end everywhere

Pretty darknight I know a guy who has one of those. They usually last a long time (I assume). His has nearly 100,000 miles on it.
Snake, do you mind if I ask what country you live in? Those pics seem like you're in Germany or somewhere of the likes.
As for my awsome vehichle, I drive a beat up 1998 Ford Explorer. A true road machine It has a small version V8 (4.7 I believe), and is falling apart around me. The electronics are giving out, and parts are starting to fall off. But if I can squeez about a year out of it, I am going to try and get one of the new 08 Dodge Challengers, or something interesting like that. Don't know.

Re: What car do you drive ?
Yippee! Finally installed my new cheap-ass monitor (which I bought on ebay a few weeks back). I must say, for the price I payed, it's actually quite good... and more importantly, it blends in with the interior.
Now I just need to figure out how to fit it through the hole of the dash. Turns out it's too big by about 5mm’s

As for making it fit . . . hack saw

Re: What car do you drive ?
^^Thanks Stiggy
I've already cut back some of the edges of the centre dash hole, but the unit still isn’t fitting. What's really annoying is that when you need to insert/eject a DVD, the screen flips out (downwards) which will require even more space. I've got some serious hacking to do
I’ll grab some pictures later on for advice. Don’t want to make it look shabby.
Btw, where’s your MR2?! 0_o (Unless I missed it on one of the previous pages )
It's an Eonon (wtf?) E0626... which all up cost me a wee bit over $300, including shipping. You should grab one yourselfboganbusman wrote:ROFL! Nice one How much did it set you back?
