After 4 months of waiting (They couldn't make enough black ones to fill demand), I finally got my Suzuki Swift Sport on Friday. I spent the whole weekend doing multiple laps of Sussex to get it run in, and have spent the last couple of evenings giving it the beans. It's a fantastic car. I had the 1.5 GLX Swift before this, and I really enjoyed that, but this is a whole new thing. The handling is ridiculous, even when it's pissing it down. If they sell these in your country, and you want a nutbar go-kart with climate control, I'd strongly recommend one.   Go lens flare!

Here's a few shots of my '98 240SX, I got it in 2001 and it's never given me any problem, even though I've slacked lately in my car-care habits. The washes & waxes are getting fewer and farther between.    And a pic of my brother's Forester - we competed in some Novice TSD Rally events this summer here in BC.

Wow, an unmolested S14. How many more of those exist in the wild? I'd venture to say not that many.

Don't know if a $49 Megan Racing twin potato cannon muffler makes it unmolested, but the paint is quite nice.

Here is my car when I picked it up. 2005 Miata in "Black Cherry Mica" otherwise known as purple Click here for the full 800x600 image. And here it is as it sits today with another 50,000 miles, Racing Beat springs and anti-roll bars, Hard Dog roll bar, and 6ul wheels with Re-11.  Click here for the full 800x600 image. I guess this is also mine but I took all to good bits out.  Click here for the full 800x600 image. The good bits are a Lt1.  Click here for the full 600x800 image. And a t56.  Click here for the full 600x800 image. Those are going in to my sisters Nova who just happens to be moving to Oklahoma and leaving the car here for me to put it together. I don't know how soon after I finish the car how fast it will make it out to her. It should be a nice little cruzer down here.  Click here for the full 800x600 image.

Feel free to take it to the chevy engines thread, but I thought nobody wanted to have anything to do with the LT1. Is it because of the cheaper T56s?

The camaro only has 156,000 on it and the tare down was to make sure there was nothing terribly wrong with the motor. The nova only has a straight 6 in it. the 6 will be staying around if my sis changes her mind.

You Am I posted:Ah, the Essex Cruiser. This is pretty true to life, I rarely see the older RS turbo cars anywhere outside essex. The closer to dagenham you get the more fords you see, but then the closer to luton you get the more Vauxhalls you see, although at least the Vauxhall plant still makes cars. Unlike in dagenham where they pretty much just make fords diesel powerplants now i'm pretty sure.

Gryphon posted:I know a lot of people here don't really care for this kind of thing but I love it. I like it, minus the hood spacers. I won't lecture you though. haha. As for my cars, I sold the white Mazdaspeed 3 I had in June and replaced it with two cars. First is a 1999 Civic EX.  Fantastic beater/DD. The body isn't in the best shape with dings all over it, but there's hardly any rust underneath at all (came from Chicago  ). It's a 5 speed and is dreadfully slow, but it gets great gas mileage. I put a Progress rear sway bar on it because the body roll was so terrible I couldn't take it. Basically just using it for the winter and to have a reliable car to get to work. The second car you can see in the background, which is a black 1994 Miata R package.  When I picked it up. Rips in the top I could stick my hand through, leaves and white dog hair throughout the interior, a noisy pilot bearing, and an oil leak. Really dirty and uncared for.  Now. :  I fixed all the previously mentioned problems, but that's not enough. I've parked it over winter and am preparing it for some track days in the spring. I still want to drive it on the street though for nice days. Currently the only mods are Koni yellows, RB front sway, Hard Dog Hardcore Roll bar, and a K&N air filter. (The guy before me raced it in E stock, I added the roll bar) Bought some Corbeau Forza seats for it recently to get below the bar. I'm planning on adding good brake pads and fluid, fuel filter, doing the timing belt & water pump, radiator and hoses, FM frame rails, possibly some Kosei K1's and Azenis tires, and FCM coilovers with the stock Bilstein dampers to have it for my liking in the spring. I may get some Energy Suspension bushings while I'm at it, if I don't already have enough to do.  I could make a project thread about it, but I feel like there's enough Miata stuff that it might be gayness overload for AI. (if that's possible.)

Roommate and my car beside each other... He has the GTI mine is the GLI, both purchased the same day. Both are APR Stage 1. For anybody wondering... He bought a manual and I went with the DSG transmission. Mine weighs about 100lbs more but is faster, simply because he can't shift as smoothly as the wonder that is the DSG.

My mate has a Seat Leon FR, and he let me have a go. It really needs to be experienced to be understood. I want them to become more popular to increase the chances of my next car having one.
