cyberwolf, That is your opinion i suppose . Most of the stuff done to my car is pretty much transferable to another car, except for exhaust and clutch of course. I mean its a fun car to drive and all... but for sale lol.

And WOW hawk you had quite the collection of cars. Very impressed with all your setups. Kudos to you!

EXACTLY what I did lol (without all the nice cars tho ). Computers are just a much cheaper hobby. Currently have a '00 Civic Si that's waiting on me to get the tax return so I can put a new tranny in it.

 

[dmtnt]

'02 Corvette Z06 with a TON of road race mods. Made 425 hp at the wheels and I've turned a 2:31 at Sebring in traffic.

'86 Harley FXR, swapped in an S&S 113" motor and Baker 6-speed tranny, made 114 hp at the wheel and 121 torque.

Well, I'm a big BUICK guy. These ain't just grandma's cars:
(I've also done the E39 BMW 540i, Nissan 300ZX, and Monte Carlo thing.. one day an E39 M5 will be all MINE!)

My 71 Riviera (455) (sold)

My 64 Wildcat (Nailhead 401)

Our 01 Park Ave Ultra (supercharged)

Started to become a gear head but turned back on that one when it was looking like it was costing too much. A few mods listed on my car domain page: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2862613

Creeping up onto 300hp with this puppy with the exhaust modifications I made. Goes 0 - 60 in about 4.6 seconds. Woot Woot. Love my MomO (yes, I named my car)

Why build when you can smell the fresh packaging of a brand new shiny computer ready to go? Get back to the cars, they are very exciting with many mechanical parts!!

Actually the 89-98 eclipse/talon/laser GSX DSM turbo, made gobs of HP for fairly cheap. Plus they were AWD. They were super fun cars to drive. New ones, well not so much, no turbo, kind of heavy, nice cars none the less.
I used to drive an 88 Rx7 Turbo, hense the rotary avatar god I miss it, made about 350hp to the wheels. SO I'm a fellow gear head here.

 

[workman2448]

Gotta agree with Motts on this one. Go look up shep racing and look at the 7 second talon he made. Not to senseless to me

And WOW i had no idea all the people in this forum had such nice cars. Gotta love all the classics here

 

[Cicatrize]

Currently driving a stock 2009 WRX 5-door (the 265HP version) but plan to mod it asap.

When I was living in Florida, I was driving a 2005 Mustang GT with CAI, tune, drag radials, off-road x-pipe, and some stiff lower control arms and had that puppy running 12.7 in the 1/4. Shame I had to sell it

 

[RatRacer]

'08 HHR SS with the GM turbo upgrade kit, 25mm rear sway bar and various black out cosmetic mods. At 28mpg and 290hp (advertised for kit), it sure makes driving to work less boring. I gave up wrenching when I lost lift privileges and sold my 66 & 67 Chevy II SS's, well that and getting married...........

I prefer to build my computers than buy them. Its more fun, more customizable, cheaper, preforms better, and you get that new component smell in each package. I am a hotrod lover too but money has been too tight to build anything recently.

I had a 87 celica back in the day with ground effects, rims, low profile tires, new suspension, new brakes, cored out caty, performance exhaust, bored out cylinders with bigger pistons, increased compresion, stabalizers, nice paint job, new interior, 12 speaker sound system at 1500 watts (4 crossovers,2 equalizers, 2 amps, 2 subs, 4 woofers,4 mids, and 4 super tweeters), and a whole lot more.

Someone hit that car and never got the money back invested. Now I have my 02 yamaha vstar to keep me happy. It has custom signals, vance & hines exhaust, highway bars, jet kit, and a few small things. Modified the rear license plate to get rid of the reflectors and brackets so it is very clean.

I remember the days when I would always build my own computers. I've since grown out of that and let others build them for me. I've graduated into a voice network engineer and deal most with configurations now than with hardware! I don't miss it one bit....


However, I do miss fiddling with my ride

 

[Rhetoric Camel]

I was quite some time ago, but Unauthorized Speed Contest tickets and 2 97 in a 65 (in the same week) and a couple other tickets I don't feel the need to mention put a stop in all of that so I now just drive a car and don't do anything but maintain it, which now in my life is proving to be almost too expensive in itself... Maybe some day I can get into it again.
