Nait Sirhc posted:That is such a beautiful car. Hats off to you, sir, for keeping your 2G clean. They are so rare these days.... 90% of the 2Gs I see on the road are riced out with half a primered Veilside-knockoff kit hanging off them, and then they wind up being RSes. I always thought the veilside kit was kinda subdued (for veilside) for the 2G:  The car needs a lot of work still. I'm debating on revalving the jic's or going all out bilstien with ground controls. not to mention ducting, a new hood with a vent, replacing the rear hatch and going polycarbonate glass, a bigger turbo (thinking something small ball bearing and shoot for a low 400 mark, don't need anything more but the t28 doesn't have the top end i need). also build a tranny cooler and put at LEAST a front lsd in the car. I would fry my front tires on the uphill at nhis.

BMW requires you to stay under 5500rpm for the first 1200 miles and it only had 400 when I drove it. That is a definition of torture. I cannot wait until the break-in period is over, that car is going to be a monster.

Here's my primary source of frustration https://wi.somethingawful.com/a7/a76bfcf3f78cdff522e17085a4dd78c44e38e3df.jpg And here's the project that I've barely worked on in the last year. She sort of runs right now but she needs an alternator. https://wi.somethingawful.com/37/37036fdce98c889d6e0a603413d9fcde1ea65d69.jpg  Click here for the full 640x480 image.

The need for a ute was starting to catch up to me, and all that talk in a recent thread about the Aus. Ford I6 engine got me thinking. And here we are, a '04 BA XR6:    The Ps have been moved to a better position since I took the pictures. Why I didn't just take them off for the photos I don't know.    It's a little weird looking into the engine bay and seeing so much empty space. Overall, I'm impressed with it. It sure beats the old VN commodore sedan I had been using for the last few years.

frunksock posted:Nice. Did you consider anything else or was it always going to be an M3? I have seen a lot of these but still no convertible. Nearly half of all [coupe?] 3s sold are the convertible, but I suspect it's a lot less for the M3s, or maybe just the new one. I think it's because the 5-odd seconds to 60 seems unimpressive.

Yeah, the convertible M3's are a lot more rare - I think partly because it's a pretty big price jump, and partly because, yeah, it's slower - even though the coupe and sedans are kind of heavy to begin with, the convertible is of course, heavier still. like.a.kite posted:I happened to run into this picture right before replying here.

   My new Celica. '00, 100K miles on it. I work at a dealership so I pretty much got the car for what it was bought for. I love it The first picture has the new wheels I got for free because I really wanted to replace the ugly chrome it had on it before. Just gotta fix the suspension and she runs perfectly.

Mine: Bought it from my old boss who bought it brand new off the lot in 1999. Totally dealer maintained it's whole life with a stack of receipts totalling $15000 CDN including warrantee work. When I bought the car it had about 260,000 kms or pure highway and had just started burning oil. I put another 120,000 kms on it, did some mods like a full 98-spec ITR suspension, and a 3 core full aluminum rad. I started getting sick of the oil burning so I pulled the engine to refresh/rebuild it on Halloween last year. Currently the motor is almost totally reassembled with well researched parts and a goal of a naturally aspirated 180-195 whp @ 6500-7500 RPMs. It's not intended to be a rocket, just a little better handling and a little faster than stock.

Actually pretty easy. I was surprised to find that I only had to cut one of the rear lower control arm bolts to remove the shock. Once the original shocks, arms and swaybar were out the new ones just went right in. I made brackets out of 1/4" steel for the 23mm rear swaybar mounts since they're different than the stock GSR parts. Overall very easy for a car with the mileage mine has. On a side note, the ITR suspension dropped the car about an inch all the way around and the big rear sway bar along with the stiffer valving/springs in the shocks made a huge difference as far as handling - very crisp with almost no under steer; basically perfect for a daily driver.

My '99 Evolution. Rheims blue, hated the colour at first, but it's grown on me. Pretty standard when I got it about a year ago, except for a couple of stupid stickers and a retardedly loud BOV. Stickers are gone, BOV is on the to go list, trying to find a Evo 8 MR recirc. one, meant to be pretty good. Since I've had it I've installed a 3-inch turbo back exhaust, and swapped the battery and airbox over, so the intake piping is a lot shorter.   The stickers. It had the standard exhaust on it.     The airbox used to be where the battery sits now. Was tempted to go with a pod filter, but the guy who did my exhaust (probably one of the foremost Mitsi tuners/mechanics in New Zealand) recommended not to, and I listened. As it is now, it's running about 1.1 bar boost without any boost control, next step is to probably get a standalone computer (powerFC or Link probably), the factory 18 psi boost cut is pretty much limiting anything else I can do to it in terms of power. For a fairly standard car, it's pretty awesome. And I need some better pictures.

If anything, he's making it how it should have been - sweet factory exterior with some more oomph from the 4G63 and AWD system. Rice? No sir.
