I just did the tint a few weeks ago -i Love this car - I bought it with the navigation system - and i did the conversion so it plays DVDs on the same screen. I had a Mitsubisih Lancer Evo VIII - before the truck - but it was WAYYYY too fast and handled way too well for me to drive it like a family man. RC-Monster Mike has been in it - he kinda liked it - like a BL sedan LOL


Hows that "Hope and Change" working out for Ya???

Danno;
I really like your 05 SS with the 3.8 (i think) supercharged V-6 and 240hp. The new 06 with the 303hp V-8 and front wheel drive seems kinda silly though. As if your 240hp and fwd didn't have enough torque stear. GM needs to make that car RWD again. I've read somewhere their planning on it.

I am enjoying about 16mpg with my Dakota, what are you getting in yours?

I sold Volvo's for about 3 years from 1997-1999. That car appeared here in 99 as a 2000 model. I know you guys had it a few years before we did. That wagon (estate) sure kicked some but in the BTCC though.

Is that an SE-R?

HotnCold;
Do you have one of those Edge computers (or the like) to get to that power? There is something about a diesel that can run an 11 second 1/4 mile that really does it for me. A wife says to her husband in their brand new 2006 Corvette Z06 "honey, did we just get beat drag racing that pickup?":035: Check out some of these vids. http://www.pacificp.com/video.htm#track03

I do follow Vauxhalls as well. The Vauxhall Lightning Concept Car was the basis for the design of the Saturn SKY roadster in my avatar. Here is the Lightning. http://www.motortrend.com/future/con...308_news_vaux/

I will forever miss my 95 YZ 250.:026:

Coolhand;
We have allready talked about your rides. You rock!:cool: :027: We shall drag race if either of us ever gets our trucks finished.:D

Papa & rc4x4nut;
I love your luxo rockets, those are what I call "sleaper" cars. Performance of a sports car in a family sedan body. My co-worker has one and she loves it.

No, I would never buy an SE-R of this generation (02-06). Theyre possibly the most self destructive cars sold in america right now. About 40% of the 02s have literally eaten their own catalytic converters, and had to have their engines replaced under warranty. If any body here is thinking about buying one, go read here first.
Mine has the 1.8 liter base model engine, but after the stuff Ive done to it its about as fast as a stock SE-R. It has intake, header, exhaust, and intake manifold spacers, and it makes about 130-140 horsepower at the wheels. And because of the sticky tires and suspension work done to it (coilovers, rear sway bar, nismo front control arms, strut tower brace, etc) , its quite a bit faster than a stock SE-R in this kind of stuff:

Mine went to the tinter on the way home from the dealer. I dropped in the K&N air filter. It feels like it made a difference. Kinda throaty engine note now. I'll do more when the warranty runs out. Could be awhile. I was rotating the tires at 18k Miles and noticed that all 4 of the Eagle GSA 245/45/18's had cracks in the sidewall. Took them to Goodyear for service and they replaced them at about 25% of retail. Looks like I was on the way to 40k plus miles in tread life... damn cracks. Hmm...Talk to me about this conversion. I have the bose system, no satelite or Nav. system. What can I do?
