Post pics of your 1:1!!!
 

And specs too...
I'll start
1984 Toyota Landcruiser BJ60 diesel. 5spd stick. 33" allterrains, winch, custom front bumper, airbags (for rear lift) and in desperate need of a lift kit. Looks like a piece of shit (literally) station wagon... :lol: But I love her.

1988 Ford Ranger. Not your everyday Ranger though. Got a list of mods a few pages long. lol. Here area few.

5.0 with gth40p heads, roller rockers, cam, intake, holley 650dp, msd ignition, summit fuel cell and batteyr relocated under bed, t5 5 speed, 8.8 out of a explorer. OK. Thats enough naming stuff off for now unless somebody wants more info.

I like it. Looks like a mustang with a truck on it! :lol:

Basically thats what it is. lol:yipi:

'92 Dakota. Under 80k miles, 318ci 5.2 v8, 14mpg, runs like the '04 accord, good for snow drifting,,, Only bad thing about it is that the rpm gauge is defective and it had to be disconnected because it was draining the battery. It's hard to hypermile when there's no rpm gauge. I put a glasspack on it too. Sounds pretty damn good, although my friend has dual magnaflows on his ford (which he worships) and it sounds better... Whenever he talks about his truck, which is all the time, I say hwo much did you spend on it? He'll say like 1000 and I can proudly say I've spent $25 on my truck for the glasspack and muffler clamps.:rofl:

I could get a cool car like a Camaro, but I like to have a nice running vehicle and I'm scared if I got a different car it would run like crap.

Trucks FTW! My rig has about 527000km on it, runs like a top. That's toyotas for ya.

How many miles is that?

Just FYI, this thread already exists. Not that there is any harm in another one!

First is the 2005 Land Rover LR3 (and yes, that's my photo taken on my parents ranch in eastern Montana)

Question. Why does your 5.9 produce 450 and all the newer 5.5+ engines produce well over 300, and my truck only makes <250?

here is a few of mine

Very nice guys.

Riley- That's 329375 miles.

Some guy got to 2,000,000 miles on his 1966 Volvo back in 2002. He has a 125 mile round trip commute. Guy puts well over 50k on it a year.:gasp:

Because it aint stock!!!:intello: Like I said, its my toy....The day I drove it off the lot, I pulled over 25 yards out of the lot and put the first programmer on it.
BTW, That's 450 real HP, not "rated" as you see on most vehicles. Mine stock was rated at 325, but on a Dyno, it would only put down about 260-270 at the wheels.

How do I make my rated 230hp go up to over 300? 400?

easy alot of money..... time and reasearch are also good too.

Mainly money, or buy a chevy...

Here you go, 2006 STi - 100% stock, mods not really required :mdr:

http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/w...h_P3090004.jpg

Here is 2 out of 4 of our current stable, though these two happen to be my two favorites.

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3091/14230015.th.gif

The closer is our 06 BMW M5 SMG. We got it at the end of January this year. It was a CPO. No mods - it's already unbelievably fast...every time I drive it I can't believe a 4000lb sedan can move like it does (not just acceleration though, handling and braking are impeccable as well).

The further one is my personal daily driver, an 04 G35 Coupe 6MT. I actually just got it back from the dealership for its 60K service, and she runs much better now. They basically replaced every fluid in the car and cleaned all the fuel injectors and what not. She has a few mods. Slotted front rotors with semi-race pads, cool air intake, lightweight pulleys, engine damper mount, rear strut bar, sway bars front and rear, dark tint. The car came stock with Brembo brakes front and rear.

Our other two (not pictured) vehicles are a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 w/ 5.7L Hemi and a 2002 Honda Accord V6. The Honda is stock while the Ram has a K&N drop in inside the stock air box.

The truck has to be one of the most deceiving vehicles I have ever driven. You would never think a large, 5000lb truck would be fast at all, but even with just 2 gears to its 105mph limiter, it'll easily keep up to my G35 which has almost 4 gears to the same speed and 1500lbs less weight...

That M5 is an absolute monster, I'd be very impressed if anyone posts a stock car that will touch that!

I'm getting an M35 as a 'sleeper' project for my wife (who will drive it without any clue) that will get many well hidden but easily activated enhancements

That would be taking a step backwards.:lol:

96 Grand Cherokee, The only child I'll ever have. All mods and work performed by me including body and paint except the green tweed interior. Sound is all JL-Audio and Focal,every bulb in and out is LED except Headlamps which are Xenon's, Motor stock except a Chip,K&N tube and filter,Aftermarket tube header and single 3" exhaust with Cat delete. I'm rolling on 20's,Thinking about a set of solid chrome 22's ?

That's volvos for ya.

You're talking the 5.9 gasser in your Dakota, right? To get to 400 in that would likely need a full performance build, including a stroker to increase displacement. The 5.9 Cummins can get there almost with only a programmer.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...6/IMG_0054.jpg
Here's my daily driver hot rod. Its a 06 Toyota Tacoma with the X-Runner package (18"wheels, body kit, suspension etc) 4.0 6cyl with 6sp. Lighting is making it look orange on my camera phone for some reason though. Its stock excpet for the black headlight mod, B&M shifter, and sound system.

He's actually got the 5.2 gasser, what we really need to know is if its a Magnum or not and what fuel injection system he has. If its multiport instead of throttle body, 300 crank hp might be possible with headers, a hotter cam, rockers, and a little ecu tuning. Some aftermarket heads on top of that should take you over 300 crank hp no problem. Check out some dakota sites, there's a bunch and have alot of info.

I remember a article I read years back about guys getting 600+hp out of those Talons and Eclipes,scary horsepower for such a little car. 10sec 1/4's are a reality. Impressive stuff.

Lets see....

I have a 02 lighning, 02 supercrew, 00 zx12r, 97 mark vii, 86 big block f250, 67 fairlane, and I think that is it right now. Lightning is black, supercrew is white, bike is red, lincoln is white and the fairlane is in pieces. I had a few mustangs and few other lincolns and a big body 78 bronco, but those are gone. Had about half a dozen bikes in the same number of years. Full size cars are work, just getting them to drive right everyday can be a challenge. Never had a new car, too cheap for that...

Every vehicle listed so far are all nice rides !

I whole heartedly agree to a point, I can easliy afford new but I'm old school. My method of thinking has always ben that anybody can finance a sweet ride, but building one yourself is the way to go. The other side of the coin is; I have restored,painted,customized at least 13-14 personal cars/trucks over the last 25years and I have sworn to myself that my Jeep is the last. To much dam work,I'm buying new next time ! I'd rather have payments than break my nutz at home.

5.2 Magnum FI.

I'm not a dodge expert, but I believe you can tune that injection system a bit (chip, programmer?) to compensate for the headers, cam, and rockers you'd need to get about 300hp at the crank. If you want more like 400hp, I'd swap in a 360 with aftermarket heads, and troll the dodge forums for what you'd have to do with the fuel injection system to support that power ie injectors, tuning etc. The easy way out would be to just swap to a carb, but there are drawbacks there too with emissions, possibly mileage, etc.

Personally I'd go in stages. headers shouldn't require any tuning and will give a noticable 15+hp increase alone and possibly better mileage. Supposedly roller rockers add another 10+hp on those engines. A mild cam that won't kill low end torque or mileage on top of these parts = 20+hp. Tuning the injection system for all these bolt ons should be another 10-20hp and shouldn't be needed until you do the cam swap.

'04 nissan 350z roadster... touring package (fully adjustable heated leather seats and heated mirrors, 240 watt 7 speaker Bose sound system, etc.). not much done to it yet, but i've got big plans for her. so far i added tints, a plenum/throttle spacer, popcharger (CAI kit), and race pipes. soon will be a dual catback exhaust, a new ECU reflash from technosquare, wheels and tires, and possibly some custom paint. down the road i'd like to add a bolt-on supercharger. :yes:

My kind of ride...nice! Every time I see a bike, I kick myself for selling mine

they can push over 1200 hp, my goal for mine is 1000hp, another 5-6 thousand $ and i should hit it

my talon hero john shepard is pushing 1300hp and running the 1/4 in 7.7sec at 190mph with full interior :lol:


here is a link to a vid of his car

Daily Driver:
'97 Mazda Protege LX. 1.5L DOHC I-4, 5 spd, K&N filter, KYB GR-2 struts, performance radiator (not needed, but the stock one leaked and this was cheap), Bosch cap, rotor, and wires, NGK Iridium IX plugs, and 40+ MPG in the summer. These are old pics, but the best i have. I ditched those hideous hub caps and got some Ford Escort wheels for it, looks much better now.

Fun Car/Toy:
'02 Ford Mustang GT. 4.6L SOHC V-8, 5 speed, Steeda short-throw shifter w/ Bullitt shift handle, boot, and ring, Steeda adjustable timing pulley, K&N CAI, C&L 80mm MAF, Magnaflow catback (stock manifolds, cats, H-pipe, etc.), Steeda UDP kit (put Ford pulley back on the alternator, Steeda pulley was causing alternator problems), Mach 1 chin spoiler, Bullitt pedals. Stock suspension but it rides and handles a ton better than the Mazda :oh:

These are the AutoTrader pics, don't have any good ones of my own yet. The side windows are tinted at 25%, the rear at 35%, and it has SpeedHui white-faced gauges now.

I need to get a better exhaust vid, that was taken cold and I didn't want to rev the piss out of a cold engine.

EDIT: The question that's really got me right now is: Do I want a Barrett M95 or should I pull the engine (still under 100k miles, just) and have it completely rebuilt and tricked out. The Barrett is about $4,000 and with that much money I could get 500HP or so :neutral:

Nice rigs you guys.
Jeff I swear I saw that photo of the LR in a magazine somewhere. That's cool, looks like it would be an advertisement if it has the advertisement.

Magman I know just how you feel!

I was ready to poke fun at you Sullie for not having any photos of your stang. Then I found that I don't have but a handful of mine

These are the best pics I found. The receeding hairline in the car is a friend.

Pretty much stock 65 mustang, 289, AT, MS, MB, MW, MS, ML It manual everything except for hte Cruise-O-Matic transmission. Even the wiper fluid is manually pumped from a windex bottle from behind my seat. No rust to speak of. Cowl leaks a little common problem but not easy to fix. A friend rebuilt the motor for me last year. I tackeled a carb rebuild a month ago. I had myself talking into it being hard but wasn't bad and made a big improvement.


Some of you that have noticed my "A Horse's Ass" avitar will recognize last winters picture. I wasn't saying I was a Horses As. The picture is of A horse's ass..

If my pic was used in a magazine, I should be getting royalty checks sometime soon!

That 'stang of yours is gonna be worth some serious money - I love those stock ones. (I love the windex bottle washers!)

The STi has a nice trick up its sleeve with the DCCD...

http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/P3090019.jpg

http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/P3090017.jpg

The little thumb wheel adjusts the torque & you see the current setting displayed between the fuel & temp gauges...here's a borrowed explanation - I'm being lazy...

"The driver makes adjustments to torque distribution in the manual mode via the console-mounted control wheel or entrusts distribution decisions to the DCCD control module through the automatic mode, the ratio of front/rear torque distribution can vary from 35 percent front/65 percent rear to 50 percent front/50 percent rear.

In automatic mode, DCCD varies torque according to input indicating acceleration, deceleration, cornering force and wheel slippage. In manual mode, the driver selects from six stages of center-differential lock-up. The more lock-up, the greater the torque directed to the front wheels – up to the 50 percent front/50 percent rear ratio. Mechanical limited-slip front and rear differentials enhance the system’s effectiveness"

I think it fits you as well Guy. You are an ass. Not in a bad way, just an ass. I am an ass too. My friends keep telling me that. I laugh at them, as that is the best they can come up with. A bunch of halfwits, not much fun for the sarcastic pimp. But they buy me drinks, and ask my advice, so I guess they like me. I never give them very good advice, but I do drink the drinks, and smile when they call me an ass. So I guess they feel good cause they have a razor sharp-witted friend who enjoys their company (mainly the drinks) and gives them (shitty) advice. At least all of the girls we hang around are attractive, gives me something to look at while I drink free drinks and dole out worthless advice.
