Mines currently in the garage after leaving the handbrake off while parked on a hill :lo. I think it travelled around 80-100 yrds before a lamp post jumped out and saved the day.
£3000 worth of damage to the car and the lamppost got away with a small dent :(

The factories are in Japan, but Nissan is owned partially by Renault, which is a French auto maker. Also, your Supra is a piece of garbage, and your choice of car modifications, along with your lack of basic knowledge (Nissan and Renault) prove you know little, if anything, about cars.
Let's not start a war here. We don't need it.
Frankly Ive been baffled by Nemt's seemingly conflicting logic more then a few times. I don't even want to get into it in this case. Because I agree he's praised the 240SX before.
As for the Supra being a piece of junk. Well that really sheds light on the whole arguement to me. I'd LOVE to hear the reasoning behind it.

Daimler-Chrysler, the parent company of Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep etc is based in Germany.
Daimler to the best of my knowledge produces vehicles released in Germany and Europe. So those really ARE German cars.
Now as far as the American versions of Chrysler vehicles, those are made and designed here.
It's close but that's a tangled mess of a situation to try and reference to. You are right but it's not that simple.
Acura is the easiest clear cut example.

where to start...
nissan is japanese... if you say otherwise you are rediculous
to the "your choice of modifications" bit... it is a picture of the outside of the car, how can you possibly tell what has been done to it.
and finally for the mkIV supra being a piece of garbage... the 2jz is one of the most capable engines EVER it can take rediculous abuse even with its stock internals, and has basically limitless potential. There is a reason that car is one of the most popular tuner cars in the world.
also knowing who owns what proves shit about knowing anything about cars.

I guess I'm
"rediculous" then, because Nissan, despite being based in Japan, is owned by a French company. It's not some hidden secret; it's just a corporate fact. If you buy a Nissan, profits go to France.
..and to clarify, yes, I have praised the 240sx extensively in this forum, however I don't see where that conflicts with my statements about who owns Nissan. The 240sx stopped production for North American export in 1997, and buying a used car doesn't benefit the automaker, unless you happen to buy it at certain dealerships, which would rarely be the case on a model more than five years old. Additionally, saying you like a certain car and saying you like where it comes from are two completely different concepts. The Taliban might make some amazing sports car, doesn't mean I'd want to buy it.
Also, the Supra in and of itself isn't a piece of garbage, if you look at my post, I said "your supra" meaning his specifically, as a reflection of his lack of taste in modifications. I don't know or care what he has inside, because it's plain to see the kid is a complete moron just from the exterior.

Take your head out of your ass for a second and spot out why you can tell that I am a moron? You seem to lack any automobile knowledge whatsoever, I not only run one of the largest generation specific supra forums, but I have been in the game for 6 years and counting. You are what, 19? You haven't had your liscense long enough to teach anyone here something they didn't already know. As for my name, SupraKid, its a name I have had for a long time, and it stuck.
As for you, look at this..

If that is really your car, I really don't see WHERE the hell you get the idea that my exterior modifictions (all TRD) are not tasteful.... that is one of the most hideous cars I have ever seen, and I am sure everyone here could agree.
Instead of turning this thread into shit, I will contribute more to the topic....

Nice sub... look into getting a 500/1 if you are looking for a nice amp.
As for the motor, its in the works

So no dyno #'s as of yet until its finished.
Anyways, I am also curious to see as to why nemt thinks the Supra is a worthless POS and why he claims that Suprakid knows nothing about modding cars?

That's what I last had, a 500watt... but tha same thing happened to me to it as did tha previous one... it just goes into protect mode as soon as it turns on. I think it has something to do with tha ground but I don't know exactly what would be wrong with it, lol... (because I tried hookin' it up to my cousin's setup and it worked fine, but when I put it back in my car, it just went to protect(it actually says "diag" on this amp)) I think I'm just gunna try an Audiobahn next time (Either a 500watt of their intake series or a 560 watt (or maybe it was 600...) of that other series... don't remember what it was called.
And I'll be lookin forward to those numbers

What about a geo?
Methinks something is screwy with your wiring. Anyways, Eclipse subs are great for sound quality but I am with you. I run a couple of 10" W0 JL subs and they are great. Not the best for power handling but they are among the best for accuracy and clarity.
*EDIT* sorry about that GEO post, I was responding to yazzz's comments.
Where to begin, where to begin......
The car is a Delfino. A nice car, but I doubt its his since last time we had a thread like this he posted something else ridiculous. My spelling check out nemt?
I don't think the Supra looks like shit. But since we seem to like shitting on cars Ill throw in my toughts. I like Supras. But the majority I see are nothing more then dyno queens that can barely out run my car in the 1/4 which is a really sad thing. A 1000hp car is all fine and good, but if it's unusable power it's a moot point. Supras are still wonderful cars though.
Partial ownership or even full ownership does not necessarily mean that the original company is not still in control of their quality. I think you'd find that Nissan is still very in control of their cars. Seems to me they have won several reliability awards over the past few years, placing ahead of Toyota, Mazda, Ford, and yes, gasp, even Peugot.
Also, I find that very often nemt seems to like to argue for the sake of arguing. Personally I like to think he works for Bill Gates since he seems to be so pro-windows/anti-linux, even while praising all the benefits that an os like FreeBSD shares with linux. (BTW, almost as a sick experiment Im running ME if that makes you sleep well at night.) Anyway, take what he says with a grain of salt. And a shot of tequilla and youll be fine.

No, they weren't JL amps... although I prolly shoulda started out with one, lol... they were wierd brands that I never heard of. But they both worked fine. Tha first one I had was just a 200 watt amp (can't remember what tha brand was... I'll look in a few minutes), it was all I had at tha time... but one day while I was driving it just shut off, but when I restarted tha car it worked again. But one day it shut off again and never started again. (that was the amp that I tried in my cousins setup). So I went to an audio shop and got some amp that looked pretty, lol (A really dark charcoal color like tha Lexus IS300 but not glossy with a chrome badge haha)... it's a 500 watt and cost me $220. That time I had THEM install it since I did tha last one. But tha same problems occured. So I know it's not tha wiring (or at least I doubt it). Tha brand of that one is called Special Edition... never heard of it, and haven't seen it anywhere else, not even on tha net... but whatever... I'll juss sell it on ebay or somethin'... or return it, haha. And they didn't blow (I edited my post with an instance with my cousins setup), they still work... just not with my car for whatever reason.

What kind of car do you drive (pic?), I know what you mean about some supras having unusable horsepower, but dyno competitions do exist, and majority of the ones that have that kind of power are not always made for a track. 1000rwhp+ track supras do exist, and yes they are fast.
Unusable horsepower to me is when you get no traction on the street.. from a roll, from a stop, whatever.. thats pointless to me.
My goal is not to break any records, just build a nice quick car... 400-550 rwhp and I will be a happy man
(BTW, my mod list is posted around here somewhere in a few places. And it's not even updated....
)
400-500 hp seems right about right. My bud used to have a Fairlady Z TT. Jim Wolfe upgrades (Intake, exhaust, chip) with a whopping 397 rWHP. At 70 he could be in 3rd or 4th and floor it and break his tires free. It was fast and fun and my guess is would have gotten slower with more HP.
Take all my critiscisms of Supras in context. I'd gladly own one.
My dad's friend has been upgrading Grand Prix for tha past 5 years or so with sponsored parts (parts that were sent to him for free by tha companies). I don't know EXACTLY how many horses it had (I think mid ta high 300s) and he was running low 12s on tha 1/4. It's am automatic too, lol. And of course he runs with 101 octane when he drags. Very nifty car. It's funny to drive with him on tha freeway when vetts come up to challenge him (he's got an obnoxious(sp?) orange racing stripe down tha middle of his gold car along with a hand full of sponsor's stickers)... tha vett will think "psh", when in fact he's sayin' tha same thing, haha. Funny stuff.
EDIT: (I know... I edit alot, lol) He's got about $25,000 worth of free parts on tha thing, haha. I wish I could do that.

With a high horsepower supra it also highly depends on the drivers aswell. Some guys have more money than anything, so when its time to hit the track they dont know how to properly drive it... I've seen one guy start off with 14.1 @ the track.. with his new setup.. supposedly putting down 600+RWHP.. I thought that was sad.. but by the end of the night he was getting closer and closer to 10's as he got to know the car more and more down the track... hell, I even cracked some jokes in the beginning

Yes, one 93 Ford Probe GT for me at the moment. With some

mods. Ill try and get some pics up at some point, but my body is so rough it really doesnt do the mechanical workings of the car any real justice. My car is a sleeper I guess.....

At least they're stylish and quick (all wheel drive and stering comes in handy) and very easily upgraded. But of course u'd wanna rebuild the engine to handle all that power though.

Carbon Fiver hoods look GREAT when painted to match the car. If sprayed right you can still see the carbon fiber strands up close and it looks stock from a distance. You dont need to advertise your car is modded. Just race it, drive it, enjoy it. Anything less is queer.
Evos..... Evos..... Evos..... Love em. Can't help it even though I know better. Nothing more then a DSM. I may as well buy a 91 Talon. But I can't help but love the car. The new ones are ugly as sin and far too agressive. The earlier ones, IE Evo 3-5 are gorgeous. I saw a 3 at the Maine Forest Rally this year. (Had pics til I reformatted my laptop without backing up ) Even with all the badass cars there it was my fave of the day.

To each his own. The weight of the VR4 is my complaint. You don't see nearly as many pulling low 1/4 times as you'd expect mostly due to the weight. Not saying it's a bad car, but just a bit heavy. Plus they suffer the same reliability issues as most other Mitsu turbo beasts. It's really too bad.
And I think the WRX looks like a bug or something. I just can't handle the looks. And It's becoming the new "tuner" car meaning your WRX will be in a sea of fart canned, wing toting, cars.....

My bud dan is more capable of setting up an onlie forum then me about cars. I know cars. He knows nothing about them, but is VERY good with computers. Running an online forum really proves nothing.
I still think your car is nice tho.
Im 25. Now everyone knows my ugly secret.
a stock supra or skyline will smoke a 3000gt but have read that the vr4 is potentially the most capable (as a track car too) of the 3 if you wanna put the time and money in, although looking at some of the time attack skylines around im not really sure if i believe that.
as for the wrx deal... where i live there isnt a lot (read none) of riced out ones so i guess i havent gotten sick of them yet. I agree however that the headlights were butt ugly untill 04, but i quite like them now.

Skylines aren't exactly easy to come by, and I still prefer tha body style of tha 3kgt over a supra. I'll have ta look for some track times a lil later though.
it just that all the wierd crap on the mitsu makes it stupid heavy, by weird stuff i mean the suspension, adjusting wing.. bla bla bla,
i would guess that if you looked at course times you would see it fall much further behind the supra and GTR

Got a '93 Geo Metro 4-door hatchback (and isn't currently running). And for those not in the know, Metros (along with Pontiac Firefly and Chevy Sprint (and probably another car)) are nothing more than rebadged Suzuki Swifts. Got a mod wishlist as long as my arm, with one of them being an engine transplant with a Suzuki Swift GT(i) engine (1.3L 4-cyl DOHC) with matching 5-speed manual transmission and either a stage-1 or stage-2 turbocharger, because 55hp/58 ft-lbs from a 1.0L 3-banger sucks...

Yes and no. Some people just prefer to have a car that is capable of a quick launch and AWD vehicles clearly have an advantage in that department. I for one care more about beating somebody off the line then trying to do a 1/4 mile in 10 seconds or less.

I don't care how sick people are of retro cars... I think they should have gone retro with tha GTO cuz tha current ones are hidious, lol.

Wicked supra, whats the BHP?? I think it was NISMO who tuned one up to 1000BHP!!!
and I will get an elise after a couple more promotions, its just a go kart.
At moment I have got Ford Puma, they didnt release them in the states but there fantastic to drive.
On the crossfire its an old model SLK in a new body = crap to drive.
This is not an attack on American cars but its pretty standard that tet handle like shit. Japanese cars like the EVO, Scooby or even the Type R are the way forward.

GTO

GTO

Cav.

I can see some minor likeness. But, It doesn't so much matter to me :\ Ive always gone by the Go before show motto... My dad and I used to have a 67 Mustang GT with the 289 in it.. awesome car with quite a few mods. However - the exterior remaind a maroon primer for the year or 2 we had it, all motor, then looks I guess. And the gto doesn't look bad in my opinion

But i can see why you may think the Cav and GTO look alike.
Though, the GTO DOES look like this car:
Holden UTE

And check it out from tha back.... very similar.


But they're not horrible... I just think they could have made 'em alot better.
I really like tha '67 mustangs... it's pretty much the only one I like other than tha '05... Not a huge fan of tha current ones.
Well, I guess I'll post pictures of my car then. Most people say its a girl car, but I dont really care, I like the looks of it, and for being 100% stock performance wise,
it sounds pretty damn good. The exhaust is 2.5" straight from the factory.
For anyone that wants to know, yes..it is a 4 banger.









Oh, and yes I know my wiring for my subs doesn't look that great, but I didn't have much choice, cuz I've got a crossover on the back of the box.

Apparently the crank in the Maserati 6Cyl turbo is broke so i don't have alot of pressure in the piston shafts so its supposed to be 120 and one of them has 34 well off to the auction it goes i dont want it to go! it will last probably 5 months and burnup and i could fix it by putting a hyndai block in it but why bother right, so i guess im not gonna keep it stupid ass who didn't take care of it b4 |
I'd get details on how it was determined that the crank is broke. And even if it is the crank, why not fix it?
Rylinkus you thinking that it sounds strange that the car still runs with a broken crank?
Amongst other things. I wouldnt throw a Maserati away unless there was something unfixable wrong with it. An Engine is fixable.

Yeah, but the crank is inside the block underneath the pistons...
The pistons arn't getting enought pressure when the crank doesn't spinn as fast creating less hp, it will possibly burn up in a matter of months

I know where the crank is
And it CAN be replaced. I've done it a few times. It's a pain in the ass, but not worth dumping a car over. And you can replace other things while doing it and put in some more fun parts
The 2nd part of that is, well, just wrong.

The Green thing is the crank.....
Basically it's taking the piston's linear motion and converting it into more usable rotational motion. It's inertia also helps compress the air/fuel mix in cylinders that aren't firing at the moment. You're crank is spinning at the same speed as any similar Maseratis at the same engine speeds. Unless it's just broke.
If thats the case the animated gif should help show that either one or more cylinders simply are not gonna work at all. Or other very bad stuff. Compression should not suffer though.
If your compression IS low there are some common possibilities.
- A blown head gasket will piss out cylinder pressure into your cooling system. Ussually the coolant become frothy and there may be evidence of oil in your coolant or coolant in your oil.
-A Piston that simply has hole burnt in it. Generally this will happen when the engine is burning too hot for one reason or another. Hole in the pistons mean airs gonna escape and the compression will suffer.
-Worn rings will allow the compressed gas mix to escape around the piston as well. This can be diagnosed with a leakdown test. Compression will be tested. Oil will be leaked into the cylinder. If it IS in fact the rings the oil will help seal the rings to the cylinder walls and the compression will be considerably higher.
-I supposed you could have leaking valves too. Though I would wager its a head gasket or pistons issues.
Well my dad says it can't be fixed, he says you need a whole new block, im confused you say you can fix it but he says the automotive shop can't.

Great pic. Very nice vehichle and beautiful wife.
I liked the Xterra quite a bit when it was first released. I'm not really an SUV guy tho, so I prob will never own one, tho I have test drove a Frontier and Titan recently and must say I like both. For now I'm sticking with my Nissan Hardbosy and Probe til I find a cooler sports car to tool around in. (A Grand National is my newest addition to "the list")
As for nemt. Generally when I get ost by his logic I step back, take a breath and assume he's using the same type of conflicting logic my mom uses on my step-dad.
The nova is great. I always wanted a Chevette myself, but finding a running one is very tough to do.

There's plenty of FWD cars that run 10s. Relentless comes to mind. There's a handful of Probes. Mostly the first gen turbo versions. Actually to be more specific mostly the first gen with the FE3 engine swap. And THEN a turbo. I've also seen a neon that runs 10s.
There's a lot of shit out there for Hondas. They aren't as easy to mod as some cars, but have a huge aftermarket to help offset that. With an LSD and drag radials I can believe a CRX with 500 hp running well.
And I did talk with unrealskill on AIM last night and he comes off more intelligent then his posts do which makes me believe more. It's very easy to see the poor spelling and think he's 13. Trust me I know.

I've been in a few powerful FWD cars. I understand that they are not easy to get power down on. Neither is a real 500hp RWD car really, though. Anything becomes harder to drive once you hit that HP level.

Woo-hoo! Just bought my car,its a 98 civic sedan (on friday). Got it registered yesterday afternoon. I just took some pictures of it with my cell phone, so picture quality is not high-res. I like it though. Pretty quick little car. I'm not going to do the usual pimped out civic thing though. Maybe just some rims.


Looks good!
How much?
$3000. Blue book is 4800. Its got a 100k miles on it, but everything on it is in good condition. Except the clutch, which will be need to be replaced in probably 6-8 months. Its a 5 speed, so you can really get going pretty quick, on my way to work this morning, I got it upto 50 in second gear, and it was only at like 4300 rpm.
Its tinted all the way around, needs a windshield strip though. Installed rear speakers in it after work, was so freakishly easy. Installing Kenwood Excelon cd player in it saturday, along with new fronts, JL W3 sub and amp. The shift knob looks like crap on a stick. Needs a new shifter.
Some cars are just geared differently. A buddy of mine has a 03 WRX, and he can get up to 30 in first gear, if he almost red lines it, can get over 50 in second. Pushes 105 in 4th!

Why would you even gear a car that high. By the time you hit 5th it can't have any acceleration. It's like 6th gear in the Z28 Camaros. It's geared so tall that the car actually hits it's top speed in 5th. 6th is more for highway cruising and conserving gas.

I like the new Xterra's a lot. More HP, plus the body is wider and longer now.
I'm going to be buying a new 05 Tacoma DoubleCab 4x4 TRD Sport, in the next week or two. My old car is on Ebay right now. Going to use it as a down payment. The new Tacoma DoubleCabs have lots of nice storage space behind and under the seats. I'm certainly going to work an Xbox into it somewhere, and add a couple lcd screens. Plus the loaded Tacomas already have a 12v to 110ac inverter built in.

I was cleaning out the inside of my X today and noticed some unused space underneath the front seats, the Driver side looks like it has enough room to fit the box for the indash monitor, and the passanger side looks like it could house a nice Xbox under the seat. I'll work on getting that done, but money is tight, seeing as I just bought a new car.
So this mod is about the last one on my list. The headrests and passanger visor look good enough to fit some thin 6.5'' monitors too. Can't go camping without some entertainment, but then again, they don't call it a SE Xterra for nothing.

Like I promised, here's my new 05 Double Cab 4x4 V6 AT TRD Sport#2 Tacoma. This thing has crazy storage space in it, and I've already eyed some good spots for some audio upgrades, TVs, and of course an Xbox.
I just clayed, polished and waxed her. I LOVE this truck!

lol, thats why you have to get about 20,000 worth of extras jsut for the pos jap cars to beat a STOCK muscle car. When i go to drag races, i laugh my ass off when some dumb people bring rice burners and smoke their tires for like 1 second. Then they get a time of like 16 seconds its even funnier. Then they act like their car is hot shit and they are all braggin about it, its a good laugh, just like your car.

Aren't you too young to be driving?

kidding....anyway I hate racing. Especially street racing I throw fruit cause the fucking asian kids in their Hondas ruin perfectly good street to skate on. (Yes everyone that races around me is asian...no racism here.) They lay down 1/2 inch of rubber and it's annoying as hell.
first im 15 so i can legally race on dragstrips. next my honda has two engines each pumping out 300 odd some horse power. so technically its a 1990 cvic with 2 engines 2 transmission and 650 horses and only 6 grand spent to see the honda click here
And while I see pics it really doesn't tell me all that much. Firstly nothing is up close enough for anyone to have the vaguest idea how anything is connected. Hell, for all I know an engine was simply dumped in the hatch a pic was snapped, and then it was removed. And then there's no explanations on how anything is hooked up. Not trying to claim this isn't real. But if you DID stuff 2 engines in a Civic hatch you REALLY should be giving more upclose pics and some writing as it's a VERY cool project that IIm sure a ton of people would be interested in reading about.
Pharcyder...i like the black rims with the polished lip...very sexy
Here is my R32, runs high 13's

Im getting a turbo kit that is covered by warranty soon, of course with the help from the rents and it should run 11's

Thanks, Nice car yourself.. I envy you though.. My car only do mid 15's sometime low 15's with the S/C. Would love to get a Turbo Kit but being in California, Cops are A-holes when it comes to Street cars especially the ones that look decked out.. I've been asked to open my hood 5 times already in the past year..
1996 nissan maxima ooo i love her so much
Also have a busted r32 skyline in the garage. Need to get a high paying job so i can fix it and feel the speed weeeee.
I got a citroen C2 with the ninja body kit on it. Haven't got a digi camera to take a photo but it looks pretty much exactly the same as this:

My Bro owns a tuning business so got it pretty much for cost. We spent ages doing it up (It was like Need for speed underground in the real world). I know it looks 'scruffy' but I still love it!
I think i posted pics of my car a while back but its changed since then so here it is a few weeks back.

Liquid Oxygen. I seriously like that car. I always liked the ealier Tegs more then the later ones. And something about the tealish/blue is different. I can't say I like the fenders, but the rest of it looks very nice. You really should do that motor swap. It's a hell of an engine and Im sure you'd really enjoy it.
BTW, how are the Hankook tires? I have a friend that swears by them. Says they're a great tire thats on par with Kuhmo Ecstas and such, but for much less. Just wondering someone else's opinions.
I have a 2000 Metallic(a) Blue Chevy S-10 LS 4x4 4.3L. Its my baby. I have a Sony Xplod Stereo sending audio to a 800w Cupsid Amp pushing a 900 watt Sony Xplod 8" sub. I plan to put glass packs on it and also a Airaid air intake system. Are either of the two worth the money/time? Thanks, will post pictures after I go mudding then cleaned.
Well, I was hesitating posting my car here, cause plenty of forum flamers like to argue the fact that I do own this. But I figured, what the hell, no hurt in doing so.
Shes a 2005 Chrysler 300 C. Bought it about 4 months ago for $48,999 and Im locked down for a 5 year finance, but thankfully they gave it to me for 0%. Ive wanted a 300 since I saw the concept at the Detriot Auto Show. Since I had gotten a new job, moving from residential to industrial electrician, I start making much more money so it became a reality. I kind of regret getting it, as they are releasing the 300 SRT 8 soon, which looks pretty nice.

Specs
- 2005 300C AWD
- Hemi v8

- Automatic (ugh, gay)
- Navigation with Mp3
Just finished putting a new grill and rims on it. I had the dealership purchase and install the grill (because aftermarket grills for 300 are still hard to find), so Im not sure of the manufacturer, but it cost me a pretty penny. The rims are 18" Enkei RPF1's done in chrome.

And CODE-RED.....
The 300C is a VERY nice car. About the only thing Crylser has done lately worth a glance. I know the money in Industrial Electric and have no doubts you could afford one on that sort of cash. Nice choice. There's something to be said about that level ot luxury.
I just upgraded from my 1994 Honda Civic DX hatchback to a 2001 Acura MDX. Let me tell you, it's much nicer to step into the MDX then squat into Civic. I may be paying twice as much in gas, but the ride is so much smoother. The best thing about it, only $17k and it was in mint condition. This SUV is begging for some headrest monitors and linked XBox's.
I have a serious question
Why would anyone spend money on a damn rice burner!that defeats the purpose of them. My ricer burning truck is good for one thing; saving gas!
if you really want to spend a little money on a car ; spend it on a muscle car or something with a V8 with rwd!
God you people are dumb!

No offense dude, but i must say I find the American muscle comment a bit amusing since the norm definition of american muscle is large displacement V8s or better. Not forced induction I4s.
i agree.
its like having a croos breed.
Its worth noting that I still think it's a cool car. the power numbers are nothing to scoff at. And RWD is the bomb.

I personally like American Musle but some Japanese cars are pritty nice....they are light and pritty fast but cost so much to get them there......ANYWAYS
Muscle Car to me is a Dodge Charger, GTO, Camero, etc...Thunderbird um yeah ok maybe later
You know whats really funny is that I didnt mean to say it was a Muscle Car... Its just a normal car with 190HP 4 BaNgEr TuRbO nothin special...
RWD is the best...
