Post your car!

[Kalub]

It's whoever keeps arguing. Kalub has a little man complex with his engine and think it has to beat all the big bad V8s or else his penis will feel small.

Feels like the opposite to me, you know, since you know nothing about cars other than what you've read on Wikipedia.

In an attempt to bring this thread back on topic, come 2011, I'm getting one of these:

You went there...

[Kalub]

That's cool, I'm actually looking for a car for the girlly friend. Her buddy got into a '04 WRX and they get all giggly about it. I think I'm gonna go for a Acura MDX or a Dodge SRT-4 for her. (SO I can drive it too :P)


I just don't dig how the newer cars, ie: Ford Fusion, the newer Hondas, Prius, etc are taking this who humpback shape. It's kinda displeasing.

[Xetsuei]

My car came stock with a boost gauge built right into the cluster for a reson.


I haven't installed the EGT/Wideband yet, I'm collecting up parts. However, they are there for a reason, or will be. If I'm going to push my car I want to know what it's doing, if I see it spike or detonate all I have to do is pull over, pop the hood and turn down the controller. So yea, they do prevent me from fucking shit up.


You say you can bore yours out, blah blah, and acheive those numbers, requiring countless hours of machine work and money. Whereas I just spend $600 on injectors, a fuel pump, and a bigger turbo and push 300+awhp. More if I go another $600 and get a fmic, and safc. Next to 380+ on stock engine. Oh, and it takes me no less than a day to swap.

And I started this arguement because you really are one of the very people I hate, the bigots that fucking have this huge hardon for a Mustang GT, yet know nothing about any other car than the ones you spend hours daily wikipedia'ing.

Dollar for dollar invested, mine would be quicker than yours. And that's all there is about it, and I'm willing to bet that right now your car does about 8-9seconds 0-60. Not anywhere near what you predict. I'm also willing to bet that you've never even done more to your engine than change the oil.



Prove. Me. Wrong.

You never said the boost monitor was built into the instrument cluster and good, you FINALLY provided good reason and logic to why you're getting the other gauges. See, that wasn't hard now was it?

And nope, to get more horsepower out of mine you don't have to do much of anything. Tune = 25 more hp, intake = 15 more hp, full exhaust = 35 more hp. There, you've gone from 215 to 290 without spending more than $500. I've had it tuned, intake, valvetrain, but I don't know how much the new valves are making the engine do but I know for sure it is more than 300hp. With a full exhaust and not being modest on the power the new valvetrain is doing, probably 350hp. And then, on top of all that, my car is STILL naturally aspirated (better response than your engine, less complication and moving parts), and still has way more torque than your engine.

No, you started this argument because you are a douchebag. I didn't do fucking anything to provoke you, I posted some pictures of my car along with a video and you come along and call it a failstang and say I have no style, as well as calling the other people with Mustang's in this thread failstangs. What the hell is wrong with you? And at least Wikipedia is for the most part reliable and has sources, unlike you. And no, I do not get ALL of my information from Wikipedia by any means. I visit many car forums as well, as well as hang out with real car tuners in RL who actually know what they're talking about.

Dollar for dollar invested? LOL. Now you're saying yours may not be faster but at least you got a better deal? Pathetic. Mine is still faster, and I could of done modifications and made mine WAY better than yours dollar for dollar, but I am doing those later and doing the more important mods first. And no, a stock 1997 GT convertible does 6.5 seconds stock on a 4 speed manual with 2.73 gears. You somehow thing with the mods I've done and more than a hundred horsepower more, it is somehow slower? Get real. And I didn't predict it, I went to the dragstrip on a day where they let people drag their cars and got the numbers there. And now you're accusing me of lying about the things I've done to my car? Sure I didn't install the valvetrain components MYSELF or tune it (Ford dealership did that), but I did install the airfilter. I have checked, and changed both engine oil and transmission oil. There's not much else to do with the car, it's pretty bullet proof.

E: Whoops skipped a page.

[klange]

Bacon your getting a squashed Honda??

I'm not up-to-date on all these new car insults 'cause I don't give a damn about them, but that's a Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid that does 40 miles before using the gas engine (which is just attached to a generator and doesn't directly drive the wheels).

I don't know if I'm reading this right or not, buy apparently it costs $40k.

But I guess...props for going American? :X

[Warsaw]

Yeah. It's expensive. If you live in CA, you can get the Honda Clarity, which is a fuel-cell car and is even more pricey....

[Kalub]

You never said the boost monitor was built into the instrument cluster and good, you FINALLY provided good reason and logic to why you're getting the other gauges. See, that wasn't hard now was it?

I told you fucking two pages ago why I had the guages. Are you that thick?

And nope, to get more horsepower out of mine you don't have to do much of anything. Tune = 25 more hp, intake = 15 more hp, full exhaust = 35 more hp. There, you've gone from 215 to 290 without spending more than $500.

With a full exhaust and not being modest on the power the new valvetrain is doing, probably 350hp. And then, on top of all that, my car is STILL naturally aspirated.

If only, if only... Your car probably doesn't do more than 230hp. You don't get anything near those numbers from simple things like that. The most gain you would get is from the exhaust. And it probably wouldn't be more than 15-20hp.

No, you started this argument because you are a douchebag. I didn't do fucking anything to provoke you, I posted some pictures of my car along with a video and you come along and call it a failstang and say I have no style, as well as calling the other people with Mustang's in this thread failstangs.

I've had my hands under the hood of 3 race cars, I've rebuilt the head on my car, I've rebuilt the transmission and carb on my Dad's Pinto with his help. And, I've rebuilt the back axle of his car so it is a Posi. I know my way around cars. I've aslso helped swap 3 other engines, including two d15's or different models, and a 2.3L Merkur TurboCoupe. I know what the hell I'm talking about. I have more knowledge about cars than you do, so stop calling me out on it.

I've rode in a 11 second car, and I know what goes into them considering I helped drop the engine into it. (Not more than lowering the cherry picker, or I would have added it up there)

And I started this arguement because I think your car is LAME. Nothing more, nothing less. I wanted you to prove to me it wasn't, and I've been trying to provoke you into doing so for atleast a day now.

Dollar for dollar invested? LOL. Now you're saying yours may not be faster but at least you got a better deal? Pathetic. Mine is still faster, and I could of done modifications and made mine WAY better than yours dollar for dollar, but I am doing those later and doing the more important mods first.

There's not much else to do with the car, it's pretty bullet proof.

And no, I was saying if we matched budgets, and invested dollar for dollar into our cars, mine would be faster. You really haven't done much to the car. It's practically stock. And do you have the time slip? They do hand those out, even on those days you know.

Still, get a video of you doing 0-60 and time it. I want to see this amazing machine of yours.

I don't know if I'm reading this right or not, buy apparently it costs $40k.

So I hear I'm not the one paying for it

[Kalub]

Ouch, that hurts. I'd rather pay $4 a gallon for gas to put in a $15,000 car thanks.
