I told our purchaser to keep his POS Mustang away from my car, but he refuses to park it down the street :/

That's not a very exciting car!

And, I found this gif there that made me think of Hailie of all people, lol. I have no idea why. :D

The secret squirrel needs to be replaced with the eyeroll smiley! ... honestly, what kind of a lame secret squirrel doesn't even wear a trench coat?! :|

Another Mazda owner!

97 Miata built for SCCA Solo 2 CSP class

<img src="http://www.eatricezone.com/miata/ext/m25.jpg">

00 323ci for daily driver (couldn't justify spending the extra $$ on a 330ci or M3)

<img src="http://www.eatricezone.com/temp/bmw01.jpg">

I'm working on my next project car, a yellow 00 Type R; no pics til I get the front bumper cover and driver side fender painted; should be ready to go by tomorrow or Thursday!

I need a cheaper hobby :\

That's an Audi S4, not an A4. One of the nicest sounding cars I have heard, nothing like a V8 I guess.

And IMO the extra power from the larger engine is well worth the money, on the 325. Although I wish mine was a two door, but I am still more than pleased with it. Getting tired of taking it into the dealership though, been having problems with the sunroof, and got the stereo replaced (constantly skipped). Then again, at least it's on warranty. I have dropped like 4k into my old Probe GTS in the past 8 months, just so I can sell the damn thing.

They don't even have pretty paint, still not exciting! :|

323 and 325 share exact same motor 2.5L, i drive black 2000 323i 4door everyday myself. Bimmer is my favorite car by far. :cool:

Eh? Pretty paint? You mean flames down the doors and Chinese writing on the sides? The second I see a Porsche with anything but factory, Porsche approved parts, is the second I find the owner and beat him silly. I hate all the shit people put on their cars these days. A BMW, Porsche, or any other nice car does not require you to slap a bunch of useless shit on it, they are good enough as it is dammit!

Eomer
05-11-2004, 01:59 PM
I meant the difference between the 2.5L and the uh, 3.2L? Can't remember offhand now. Mine is a 2001 330xi.

M3 = 2003
S4 = 2003
Black Porsche = 1998 911 Carrera 2S (Widebody)
Grey Porsche = 1996 911 Turbo

dude but if you paint it yellow, put on a racing stripe, a spoiler that is at least a foot high, and burn a hole in your muffler....your car goes about 35mph faster and saves gas and can do your homework!!!!

Porsche and BMW are beautiful cars, but they aren't complete as sold (no not even the M series).

If you have a Porsche and don't care enough to visit Ruf, then you have a car built for speed, but not built to roar.

If you have an M series, you have cachet, but the guy parked next to you that just came back from Dinan is gonna make you look like you're drivin that mustang.

Porsche - Nice cars for sure, but very mean on bad drivers. Rear end can get loose faster than a $2 hooker.
BMW - Same problems as my Vette was.. $500 every time you roll into the service dept.
Audi S4 - one of the nicest handling 'sleeper' performance cars around.

What year are your 911's Eomer? Late 80's? Early 90's.

Just to make clear, only the 330xi is my car, the rest are either my dad's or brother's cars. Not shown in any pics is my bro's 350Z.

Like I said before, the black one is a '98 Carrera 2S, while the silver one is a '96 Turbo. My dad (and I agree with him) really doesn't like the new Porsches, which is why he bought the '98 to begin with. It was the last year they were making the old ones, so he jumped on it. The 2S has barely lost any value, since widebodies are rare to begin with, it's the last year they made it, and '98 was only half a production year since they had to retool for the new ones. It's lost maybe 5-10% of it's value in 7 years. Not too shabby.

Oh yeah, also: I don't have a problem with performance enhancements. I was just at the dealership a week or two back, reading through the Dinan catalogue. Tempting to get some work done :). My problem is guys that don't do a thing to their car, other than drop it, put a big spoiler on it, a 4" can on the back, and some blinky blue lights on their dash and rear view mirror.

mm, some nice cars there. I'm especially fond of the S4 :cool:

Attached is my special boy. :) Not quite a Porsche, M3 or S4 but it makes me happy.

I drive a silver/grey 1991 Chrysler LeBaron convertible w/ black top. Funny enough I flew down to Florida to get it, drove it back up. Came back from school to notice the people live behind me moved and the new people who moved in have the exact same car.

Car looks same as this only red interior and a bit more greyish

Just got the Integra back with the front end looking like new. I picked it up for $5.3k since it had the front demolished but the engine and suspension was left untouched.

I drive a '95 Camaro (the v6 version :( ) Only thing I have changed in it was putting a Pioneer cd player in and throwing out the getto tape deck... I wish I had cash to make it bad, but I digress.

I imported it from Japan, we dont get any of the high powered imports sold locally here either, but our import laws are a little better than USA, car itself cost ~9-10k, but it was another 10k to get it here, licensed etc

Inusrance companies have cracked down on all turbos/v8s here cos so many young kids got them over from japan and crashed them(like me :( ) so yeah i was only like 17 and after the insurance ran out for the first year they wouldnt renew it...now i cant get a v8 or turbo till at the least 21 :(

but m3 is still a 6..... :)

05-12-2004, 10:23 PM
Ah, I wasn't aware of the limitations on engine types on the younger drivers. All of my customers from Austrailia, when I ran the import car parts business, were 28-40 years old, running the R33 and R34 Skylines and Z32 Fairlady Z Twin Turbos, with a few with the WRX Sti / Lancer / Silvia S13 & S14 Turbo, etc. The amount of money some guys spend on their cars ><

Shik
05-13-2004, 01:10 AM
S13s are EVERYWHERE now(so cheap) the non turbos became sort of the perfect sporty first car for alot of kids...
R33 pretty popular too, not many 34s around, we still have the 15 year old rule here(where you dont have to pay compliance) although they are trying to get rid of it, and 89 = first year for R32 GTRs so they will start turning up in the masses here

We spend alot of money? man look at yanks i dunno...you guys seem to be buying new cars all the time, the average american family seem to love buying new cars. Whereas here we are pretty well off but dad would like never buy a new car...i guess it's just peoples priorities

just my general observation the american new car(often luxury too) market is fucking huge

Dad got a soarer limited for 15k recently(sc400 for americans)

Sigh, i wouldnt be caught fucking dead in half the vehicles you people drive....hell makes me feel better knowing if i were ever in a accident with one of you the 5 dollars damage to my truck could be paid for with the change in the console while your familys collecting the insurance policy on your life cause you drove a miata matchbox that was total'd in a rear end collision at 5mph.
