Well by that time I would probably have the license(name?), that lets you drive at certain hours of the day or something like that. So I don't know really, but hopefully by that time I will have found a Charger and partially restored it.
 
hopefully my parents will have bought a Navigator or an Acura MDX by the time summer comes around. Then thats what im oging ot be driving :lol: . Im gonna give up on my camaro...should make a profit witht he mods i put on it.
 
I fixed the links for the images. Sweet!

As a further note, In that garage in the back ground is a fully restored (original) 1967 Shelby GT350 Mustang.

I'll take photos of that one when I'm up there!

Nice.

This is my old mans as some of you may of seen me rabbiting on about before. Not quite as big engine but still quick enough to scare the pants off of you.
My dad says that when I pass my test and if my next door neighbour can manage to get us a little time at an airfield (it helps with him being the head of the local traffic deparment for the sussex (south east of englandish), he'll let me drive her next year, only if he thinks I'm a capable enough driver :D . Anywayz here ya go.
3.5 litre V8 - supercharged (Rover V8)
900 kg
300+ BHP (not quite sure on precise figures)
300 ft/lbs torque
Southern Road Craft Kit

Thanks man.
:cheers:
 
:( probably a toyota previa 2.4 GL, or a Citreon AX, but maybe quite a few summers yet. Wanna take the 2.4ltr engine out whenm my parents no longer need the car, nd put it in a fiesta/206
 
Nice cobra! ;)

As for me, i only recently forked out for a brand spanking new RX-8 very nice and well woth it!! But im looking to get rid of the gti its comming on 165,000 Miles on it i just got a set of shocks put in it so hopefully i can get someone for it. Im looking at an 2000 Honda Integra Type R so thats what ill probably be driving next summer!

(Yes i know, i have too many as it is)
 
Hopefully I'll pass my test by next summer, so I hope to be driving a Land Rover (probably a Series 3).

Looking foward to those pictures, Der Alta!
 
next summer i'll be driving the same car i'm driving right now only with a few mods. 1990 240sx coupe, s13 front end conversion, sr20 or, just like unk0wn, a ca18det swap to get ride of the torquey ka :crazy: .

....
:rolleyes:

next summer? I dont know if I will be even driving, but if I am, I will be driving a Hyundai atos, or a Datsun, or a VW bug, or something effin cheap -___-

Cano

id like the bug. I have always wanted one...
as for the cobra you will be riding on, Der Alta... DAAAAAAANG YOU!!!! :grumpy:
 
that cobra was NICE!but honestly i like my dads 67 gt500.


n.e ways next summer ill be driving one of my recent projects like my right hand drive type-R but i roughly doubt about the supra.
 
why would ya want a CA18, SR20 or nothing. and dont get me started on KA24's
 
Nissan 240SX / S14.

Proposed Modification List:

SR20DET
Apexi N1 Exhaust
InJen Intake System
TEIN FLEX Suspension
TEIN EDFC Damping Force controller
Konig Seats
Defi-Link Display System.
Rotora Brake system
HKS Turbo Timer
HKS Boost Controller
K&N Short Shifter
Nismo Wheel
Nismo Shift Knob
5Zigen Rims

Posible Mods: (Depending on Availability)
Kei-Office Body Kit (possibly the only bodylit I've ever seen that actually looked "right")
Kei-Office suspension system.

(Both Kei-Office parts are very hard to get. They have no official US distributor. The suspension is a remote possibility, If I can get one that's affordable, I'll get it instead of the TEIN FLEX)

TBD: Chassis stiffenning equipment
TBD: Harness System
TBD: Roll Cage
 
your willing to spend a bit of money, that stuff wont come cheap
 
Trust me, I know what this stuff costs. Fortunately, if all goes well, I'm gonna have quite a bit of cash, quite soon.
 
hopefully, if everything goes as planned, I will be behind the wheel of a 93-98 black on black twin turbo 6 spd Toyota Supra, with a targa top. Then I'll have to change my name, cause it's not going to be a Kaze kit anymore, it'll be an AB-Flug in a year or so. but that's another story.

You better post some pics of that car. Not much in this world comes close to that for original beauty.

Hey, AO, while we were on our roadtrip Sunday into northeastern MD,I saw a pair of Cobras. I think they were Factory Fives, but they both had 427 badging on the side. One was blue/white stripes, open; the other was kind of platinum/black stripes, and a hardtop.
 
Me? It's gonna be won by our team, and the involved members are splitting it up. And this isn't some chance thing, it's a head-to-head contest of skill, and I know we can win.

I design Aluminum Extrusion dies, and also programme CNC Mills, Lathes, EDM wirecut, and spark errosion machines :)
 
Well, i'm looking at 1st and 2nd gen MR-2's, or maybe an E30 BMW 3 series. But i'll probably still be driving a clapped out old Escort.

a few years back, i remember reading an article about the targa top supra (1990~4 [or something..]). it stated that all targa top supras were automatic and non-turbo . the artilce also said that the supra used in the movie 'the fast and the furious' was an auto non-turbo, with all fake turbo acessories etc.
but hey- the artcle could be wrong.

:) :) :)
 
I will probably be driving nothing at all this summer, unless you count the '01 Acura 3.2CL that is officially my little sister's who doesn't have her license yet, but no matter. That car is pretty slick. Solid 215hp, really good handling, CVT (I'd rather have a manual) and an awesome sound system. It's definately a car to get the ladies, but unfortunately, it will only be getting me to work and back and then to Tech and back.
 
I am still driving the damn Jaguar XJ6 Sedan. Its a 1996 and I am bored of it because I have been driving it since 1998.


I think I might sell it and buy something nice. Like a Porsche 944 Turbo

I'll keep my current car untill I'm out of pharmacy school which is conviniently the year Nissan finaly releases the GTR in the US and the day I graduate I'll go straight to the dealer and drive off the lot with a brand new fully loaded GTR....yeah right like I can really wait untill the middle of the year to buy it, I'll probably be camped out in front of the local nissan dealership for the 2 months prior to the release so I can be the first one to buy one. :lol: unless they somehow screw it up. Then I'll buy an R34. :D
