What Wax you use i love the Shine on it.

Sorry it took me some time. But I use common Turtle Wax. The only difference is I have a polish machine. And believe me, the difference shows!

I got some proof of my car. Well, its my dads, but if I keep my grades high, there is a high chance this car WILL be mine.

IMO you have the best car out of anyone here on these forums.

Yes GT, it's even better than your car.

Good luck with the future mods

I'll look forward to the end result.

lol! Maybe so, but I'll be keepin mine. Have been there and done the V8 thing, (308 HJ Monaro, 253 HQ One Tonner) and loved it. But of all the cars I've owned, the best thrill is from the lil turbo six. It's a lot easier on the back pocket too..

BTW, today I booked the Skyline in for a full 3" stainless exhaust fitting. Goes in on Wednesday next week. They gonna dyno it before and after fitting, so that's gonna be interesting.

Just Me · Post by **Just Me** » 16 Feb 2005, 21:16

Damm, the Mustang clip seems to be down? Can you put it back up again?

@GT: Can't wait to hear the results. I looking around myself for a nice stainless steel exhaust for my E30.

That Ferrari is possibly the most expensive car in the world (a real one that is).

You might be able to pick one up for US$15million or so . . .

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 18 Feb 2005, 12:28

I've got a '95 Chrysler Intrepid. Not much, I guess (it's in beater mode right now), but it's sufficiently fun to drive, and it's pretty big, which has it's benefits (all my stuff I've got in my dorm fit into the car, which is nice). And, if nothing else, the engine still makes the 214hp it apparantly made when new. Or, at least, I'm pretty certain it does. I had it out to a drag strip about a year and a half ago, and it ran the same 1/4 mile time as when new, so I take that as a good sign that the engine is in good condition.

Sweeper · Post by **Sweeper** » 19 Feb 2005, 00:52

An Intrepid? Doesn't that have a V6 in a FF layout? and a heavy body?
How does it handle? I am just curious after cursing over it in GT2

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 19 Feb 2005, 02:27

Yup, that's it, V6, FWD, weighs about 3500lbs. It's no sports car, but it's fairly fun to drive. It'll ultimately understeer, but I've got to push it relatively hard to do that, and from that point, it's just a matter of fiddling with the throttle to balance it on that edge where the front is just beginning to slip. It's all pretty easy, because there's a decent amount of feedback, both through the wheel and the seat of my pants. I usually find that I can take highway onramps at approximately twice the recommended speed, which I suppose is pretty respecteable for the size of the car (I believe it's right on par in exterior and interior dimmensions with a Benz S-class or a BMW 7-series).
