I would check craiglist actually. Lobsterboy and the SoCal crowd might be some help, Im in the same boat and would have been in California now if not for the market crash.. Nice toys by the way  The '49 Holden which never sees sunlight too much and the daily, a '63 Holden. This is an old shot, its got Sampson 14" superlight racers on it now.

  2000 Nissan Frontier Desert Runner 3" suspension lift, Bilstein 5100 shocks, custom tube work by me, lots of lights not shown: 3 Hella 500s up front, red tinted tails, power seats from a Thunderbird SC, and I sold the tailgate. Here is a bad pick of a mockup of the wheels, and you can see the sliders:

1997 Mazda Miata Speedster Edition. 5MT. It only has the suspension freshened up with Tokico Illumina adjustable dampers and FatCatMotorsports progressive bumpstops. I have Flyin' Miata adjustable anti-roll bars but am holding off installing them since it will bump me out of stock class.  Wet autoslaloms with a Torsen are super fun.  If your wondering what the front looks like:  Click here for the full 800x532 image. 14 autoslaloms and going strong. Ziploc fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Dec 17, 2008 |

IOwnCalculus posted:What do you mean regarding structural integrity? The wheels aren't rusty at all (nothing rusts in AZ). I know a rattlecan paintjob can come out well - I'm pretty sure the current paint on them is a rattlecan job my dad did when he bought the wheels in 1990 - but it doesn't hold up well to brake dust. I'm hoping that powder will resist brake dust stains better than spraypaint did...and even if it doesn't, well, I'm going for a dark gray anyway

My 1994 Corvette - Tire Rack knockoff C6 wheels, SLP intake, CAGS, Hawk HPS pads, and gutted cats. Nothing else done. My 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 - Brand new! Bone stock right now, getting lots of work done to demo products at work. Getting lots of bolt-ons, a 6" lift, 37s, and some other goodies along with some other things.   We got ~22.5 MPG on the way back home over 2200 miles. Having never owned a turbodiesel, I'm a changed man.

2004 Honda Civic EX First ever de-badge attempt. Not too bad. Junk in tha' trunk!  My dad's truck, 2008 Ford F-150 Limited. Posted up on 22's from the factory. Yahhhh booooiiii!!!  Side angle.  Classy truck, beautiful inside and out. All leather interior with a 7inch Double DIN Touch screen Kenwood GPS. Factory 8inch sub doesn't sound too bad either.

AF posted:I think your Civic's tires have a larger sidewall than the F-150's You sir are right. Mine are 195/60/15, his are 265/40/22. His truck is not going to see any real truck action. It'll haul people, it's nice, and it's a damned street truck. A loving yuppie ride essentially. His company provided it, so no one's really able to complain. We have a 2002 Dodge Durango SLT if we want to take poo poo off the beaten path. e: Didn't grab pictures of Durango because it was in the garage, and I didn't feel like pulling it out just for that.

Oh Em Gee posted:WTF. that truck is OBSCENELY big.Every year F150's get bigger and bigger, I wish they would just keep them the same size. It really is massive. It's a beautiful truck, inside and out, but it's a loving tank in size. AWD though, so that's nice. It'll get its rear end moving pretty quick too. All in all, I never complain after driving it, except it gets something to the tune of 13.5mpg mixed driving. e: In no way is it a sensible truck to own. It is pretty AI. e2: It has a reverse camera mounted flush beside the tailgate handle. A LCD is built into the rear view mirror to give a view out back with little lines added onto the display to give a good frame of reference. It also has beeping sensors on the inside of the truck if you get within say...3-5ft of something? I forget how close it is exactly, but it's for parking/reverse. Pretty AI in that it's so loving big, it comes with a camera to make sure you don't run over small children, other cars, small delivery trucks, and entire loving countries. God that truck is big.

One of my daily drivers: 1997 Land Rover Discovery XD: 2" Old Man Emu lift springs, ARB winch bumper with Warn winch, pretty stock otherwise.   My other daily driver: 1983 Land Rover Series 3 109 station wagon. This was the V8 version and the last of the leaf sprung series trucks made. It was a Kenyan bush truck before I got it. It has a Discovery 3.9 V8 in it and is about to go under the knife for a Megasquirt 2.0 injection system to replace the Weber 500cfm 4 barrel that ices up bigtime when I drive it in the rain. Pre-rebuild:  Post-rebuild:  The summer driver: 07 Honda Ruckus, bone stock and fun as hell. I just got studded snow tires for it, gotta wait for snow before I'll drive it again as $150 scooter tires aren't worth trashing on asphalt.
