Imports, Euros.... cars

[Nissan_420sx]

So obviously I drive a 1993 Nissan 240sx..I just curious how many other smokers on here are into the car scene... I love imports..Nissans, Toyotas, all that happy jap crap..I also love BMWs (Black M3 with black rims, polished lip..sexxyyy)..but yeah What kinda cars are you in to and/or what do you drive?

:bonghit:

[rebgirl420]

I drive a 2007 black cobalt with all of the new sporty features...I love it!

[TheGreenFog]

Cars are cool. What kind of upgrades you got on yours?

The Fog :rastasmoke:

[Nissan_420sx]

nothin special...Just tokico blues with megan lowering springs...got rid of some of the wheel gap and got a set of nissan teardrops (my car orginally came with steelies and hubcaps..lol)... After 4-20 I'm gonna start spending my bud budget on my car...After realizing that I could drop like 300 bucks a month for parts instead of green...lol

Nice colbalt reb... Is it supercharged or w/e...My friend has a 99 cavy and he's in love with colbalts basically..lol

What are you rollin in fog?

[rebgirl420]

i dont know much about cars hun...I wish i did. John does everything to it. I have all custom crome inside, a system, and its all perty and digital really

[Nissan_420sx]

lol Looks nice though..I'd deff drive one :thumbsup:

oo..and a system..for that boom boom?..lol..I used to be really big into having crazy bass in my car...then i realized that if i ditched the subs and crap...i'd save weight..and draw less attention to myself..lol

[rebgirl420]

yeah but I only blast stuff like TOOL and The Doors or Zeppelin, none of that "look at me im white yet i think im black homie, keepin' it rizzle in the hizzle!'

[MacWQ33]

"look at me im white yet i think im black homie, keepin' it rizzle in the hizzle!'

So you're basically saying if you listen to hip-hop, you think you're black?

JK, anyway...how'd you end up with that ride...you lease it? Good job?

[Mike23artist]

my dad has an 2003 vette that will kick all of your asses

[Nissan_420sx]

I listin to rap..and in no way shape or form think i'm black..unless I'm playing basketball...then I'm all over the court yellin' come on nukka dunk it dunk it!

lol...I just used to love to hotbox my car then drive around the backroads blaring like lil' john or sumthin like that with insane amounts of bass...it was like a free back massage and I'd feel crazy high...I used to drive a 1991 Acura Integra (for thoese who don't know it's a hatchback..and hatchback cars for some reason or another amplifies the bass).

03 vette vs a 1993 stock 240sx.... hahahhahahahahahaha

thatd would be the saddest race ever

[rebgirl420]

So you're basically saying if you listen to hip-hop, you think you're black?

nope John bought it for me in cash :)

[MacWQ33]

That's the best. Lil Jon probably not the best, but I know whatcha mean. (And making a connection between hip-hop and only African folks is not only incorrect, it's slightly prejudice....not that I care personally, it's just naive/ignorant).

I can't fathom how you could drive around lit up listening to like hard rock or something. It just doesn't work! I like rock, but when I'm high...it sounds ugly and hurts my ears.

[Nissan_420sx]

exactly..lol..like theres some rock I can handle when I'm blitzed but I just like a deep thumping bass line to zone out on...plus I have one of my old JL audio 10's hooked up to my computer's 5.1 sound system (right now only 2 fronts and the sub...the rear and center speakers aren't working right) and i love to rest my feet ontop of the box (still in the car box thats not ported) and it's like a foot massage..lmao

[rebgirl420]

well...rap always hurts my ears...so does country music

[Nissan_420sx]

eww country music..lol

I live in the south so either I listin to Rap or Country...Rap is the clear winner (my opinion!)...lol

[rebgirl420]

hey man, whatever you can vibe with is fine with me

[Nissan_420sx]

I listin to everything except country for the most part... Mostly from being around people that have diffrent tastes in music than I do..I'm from cali so i grew up on a steady diet of skateboarding, surfing and punkrock music...now out here I'm into cars and rap music..crazy...

anyways..so no one else on this whole entire site likes car?..or even drives for that matter?..lol

[rebgirl420]

apparently we have a bunch of walkers

[cannabis=freedom]

I doubt I could tell a corvet from a small rodent.

I think I disprove all male stereotypes....when my mates talk about cars I smile and stay silent.

[UTD Toker]

^^^Haha forget walking

[Nissan_420sx]

lol I used to be like that..then I dunno... I'm not really sure why i got into cars.. their too damn expensive and break down too damn much (fuckin old ass japanese "sports" cars..lol)...I guess it came from when I used to ride dirtbikes..I dunno... When people talk about cars I keep my mouth shut unless they ask me about mine

lol

Zeppelin are some of the biggest rip off artists in the music industry. I'm talking worse than Puff Daddy used to be. I know, it's sad. Broke my heart, too. Beleive me, Plant and Page ain't "keepin it rizzle" at all!!

I love the Doors, and I love Tool but in my eyes Rap is the clear cut winner. If it weren't for Tool I doubt I would care about today's rock at all.

Hey Mac, did you get the new Prodigy (of Mobb Deep) album? It's awesome. It's called "Return of the Mac" so you should definately get it.

Anyways I drive an SUV, so I can't really offer much insight on the topic but I couldn't let rebgirl's comment slide.

[Skink]

Rap is not a "Clear Cut Winner" it is just the music of the times... You can say it was stolen from Mohamed Ali too... pretty much all music is stolen in some form...

Oh and IMO nothing beats the thunder of a good old american Muscle car... I appreciate all the mods and performance of the rice burners and i'm in awe of the numbers a 4 cylinder can turn out but my love is still with muscle...

My bad man, I just meant that rap is my personal favorite.

and Led Zeppelin are theiving scumbags. I will elaborate further if you want, but they talked about it all last week on Howard Stern.

Hey Skink, speaking of "clear cut", is Rex Grossman the "clear cut" WORST super bowl QB of all time? The answer is yes. But one other thing is clear, sir, and that is that your avatars are the best on the site.

[Skink]

Rex is not a shining example of talent,,,LoLzzz...

[Nissan_420sx]

lol...I'm a fan of some American Muscle cars...I just love the fact that you can get insane amounts of tourqe and Horespower of a 4 banger..and if you blow it up.. whatever..just another dead 4 cyl..lol

And sorry to the mods I didn't realize I should have posted this here instead..I'm still new to the site and just tying to meet and talk to new people..thanx for the move though :thumbsup:

i second...

this is what 450 horsepower looks like for all you guys with the LITTLE cars. you know, the ones with just enough displacement to torque down one of my lug nuts.

[Nissan_420sx]

Don't come in here hating on us for our tatses in music and our tastes in cars... Nice motor and all but if you not gonna respect othes that have a love for cars/trucks then GTFO...lol

and my little car will get like 30 miles to a gallon your truck gets what...5?

while your busy spending money on gas I'm busy spending money on tires and pot...

[Four50HP383Chevy]

actually a 240 or 260 would be one of the only imports i'd ever drive. with an LS1 dropped in of course :) . just dont brag about 4 bangers making power, because they dont.

and by the way... it's like 8-10 mpg :)

[Nissan_420sx]

can't forget the 280z's..lol

And yea a LS1 in a 240...INSANE!! I've seen pictures..never got a chance to see one in real life though...I'm not proud of my 4 banger..lol..I'd love to drop a rb25dett in it (6 cyl twin turbo) but I doubt I'll have that kinda money anytime soon... But my KA24de (the pos 4 cyl) makes an impressive amount of tourqe..which I love..lol.. truck motor + light ass car = not fast but it'll smoke the tires...

and yeah the 8-10 sounds alot more likely than 5..lol..my 240's only gettin like 15 right now..the knock sensor isn't hooked up and it's running like shit (no power..eats gas.ect ect...)

[Plastic Jesus]

American muscle is fine... unless you like to turn!

I know some 4 bangers that would embarrass you in a straight line and loose you in the twisties faster than you can say "Rice!"

yeah, and how much did their car cost? gimme the same as they put into their car and i could build a faster V8 or V6 american car for sure

[Frickr]

I myself am building a 350 sbc for my 85 monte carlo ss, i blew the 305 in it after doin 160+ wholy fuck was that car insanely fast, it has 2.08 rear end in it, open header, with some n-50's in the back, with the rear breaks unhooked, could blow some smoke too, with this 350 its gonna kick some ass, i have it all stripped out for the track, also i got a 77 F-100 stepside shortbed, i got a 351W in it, with a 3 speed, the pickup was originally a 300 6 and dropped that out for a 302, blew that up got a 351, blew that one up and got this one for 500, i can pull the front wheels up with that. then i got an 80 CJ7 jeep for the offroading and mudding, but im getting a civic here soon.

i do have to give it to them tuners, shitload of power out of a 4 banger, and still get better fuel milage than any of my gas suckers. I'm big into cars and stuff, so im dippin my toes in a little of everything

[OzzyOz]

i'm getting a car soon

i have $7k in all to spend on a car, and a sound system and whatever mods i put on it


so i'm thinking about going to a car auction soon, and putting down $3-$5k on a car

i've thought about 4-cylinders etc. as they're pretty cheap and last awhile


any other ideas, this will be my first car. So it cant be something too pricey to insure, but i want something that wont have trouble getting up hills etc.

:D I'm messing with you... I see you love bikes too so I don't feel like arguing... no sponsorship for me (I wish!)... Just couldn't stand being one of the same 5000 blue Yami's around!

[Frickr]

if you guys want some big power, get a diesel pickup. they cost a little bit more, but they are cheaper to maintain, and come stock with a turbo, we have a 98 dodge 3500 dually with the 5.9 12 valve cummins diesel, with a cold air and 4 inch exaust, that thing will set you back like none other.

Yes I hate imports too . Much rather have a 496 or 540 chevy . But you're wrong w/ your post here . I've seen 800-900 hp 4 bangers in frontwheel drive b/s cars , crx's n stuff . bumping 8.50-8.60 at 150-160 mph in the 1/4 mi. And thats fukn crazy fast . They suck , poor turbo motors are wrung out in no time . Who wants to rebuild a damn motor every 5-6 runs ? Not me man , once a season at my house LOL .
Peace

[gypsygirl]

i love cars and used to be a car meet frequent until our meets got shut down. i know a little bit about cars and know just about everything there is to know about nissan VG30E engines. i had a friend who swapped a VG30E from a Nissan Z31 into a Mazda RX-7 because he wrecked the Z. So im a pretty cool car chick who loves import cars especially.

there are plenty of hondas that are running 400 hp daily driven. all you need is a good tune, and they will last a long time. when you start getting detonation, and boost creep thats when you have problems. ive shut alot of people up around here who thought they had a fast car with my 2000 SI, and i dont have it turbo'ed yet.:thumbsup:

[Mississippi Steve]

THis is where its at.... 0-60 in less than 4 seconds, 0 - 100 - 0 in 11 seconds(in less than 1/4 mile), in excess of 1.2 lateral Gs on the skid pad with street tires on it..... and 35mpg too.

What are you rollin in fog?

Well he showed a pic of a saab key chain so ill assume he drives a saab.


I drive a 89 celica GT, its stock and it wont change cause im saving my money for a impreza L, then ill swap the engine with a wrx engine do some other mods and make it a demon freak that will physically tear the panties of girls as it drives by. That and i want the pull to be so strong itll make you puke, but that will take alot of power so ill settle with a upset stomache.

[yokinazu]

i love cars. i used to be one of them import haters till i did a head job on a 240sx. the guy didnt pay me so i ended up with the title. i decided to see what i could do with it and now i love imports.
this little nissan was faster tha most american cars on the road, the exceptions of course were things like vettes. never let me down i won a crap lod of money on it, that it till the locals confinscated it for street racing. so now i got me a 2001 mitsi eclipse gt. it aint super fast but will hold its own.
my first car was a 70 nova with a 350 ran a 13.0 firdt time i ever took it to the track. it was a mild street car, didnt need it any faster i was in highscool and would have ended up killin myself. my next was a 67 mustang coupe with a 289 hi po, ill never own another ford.
ive also built a 660 hp buick turbo t, 83 mustang with a 800 hp 351w, 750 hp 64 belvadere 440. not to mention the numerous restorations and roadsters ive built.
im a mechanic by trade and been racin as long as i can remember. i specialize in transmissioins.
but as far as the argument for or againt the imports, well with honda plants in ohio and most of domestic cars shipping parts from overseas there aint no such thing as imports or domestics anymore.

[LIP]

I'm a car nut, love F1 too. I've got an advanced driving licence [meaning i can drive very fast very safely] but i cant justify spending alot of money on a sports car, so i've got what makes sense, a 2006 [march31st 06 plate] 6 gear Ford Mondeo Estate, 2.0 litre, Turbo Diesel Commonrail Injection [TDCi], and aload of extras [that i didnt pay for] in panther black. 6 CD changer, subs, alloys, scotchguarded fabric interior, a/c.

I paid 13k for it all, and it only had 2000 miles on the clock, and all the journeys were logged coz it was an ex company car.

And it's got some serious poke- while not guzzling all my diesel up.

During the week though i drive a Ford Escort 55 Van or a Transit. Depending what i feel like.

I run em ALL on marine diesel [it's free for me] haha! I cant do that for much longer though, because they want to start dying marine diesel white so the boatyards cant use it for the vans [which is EXACTLY what i do!]

I'm not a fan of American cars at all, their cornering is non exsistent. Suspension is SHIT. The ONLY thing i like [you could say love] about American cars is the engine. Lovely V8's. I love me a good burble, i mean LOVE!

I did have a Ford Focus ST [I posted about it, and i got abit confused. At first i called it a focus, and then changed it to fiesta but it WAS a focus, they look abit too similar now!]

Thats a 2.5 litre petrol 6 gear, and it was modified. Turbo. The thing went like a fucking rocket - you'd be doing 135 without realising it! [Bit naughting of me eh? Nearly double the national top speed limit.

Only had that for 2 weeks though, i was borrowing it from my cousin.

I love my cars. My dealer has a fucking maserati coupe! I've driven that too [illegally, i had no insurance]

The pics of the vans are from google - couldnt be bothered to take pics of em. And the pic of the mondeo is mine with me in the driving seat from when i bought it. [you cant see me though :D]

[katyowns]

WRX owner here. It seems there's no other rally folks here. What a shame..

[Narf!]

Gearheads will always be gearheads no matter what kinda cars they are into. Thankfully most of the rice in my area is GONE now. You will hear a whining fart can every now and then. But most of the riceboys couldnt afford to keep those POS'S on the road. Once they realized that they were actually "Slow and Tedious" most of the fanboys gave up. I have an 03 civic. When I first got it, people actually revved up on me at stoplights. Mine is still unmodded and it is still on the road. Hoping to get at least another 15 years out of it.

[zeitgeist]

back from the dead.

I have a 240sx. Actually I have 2. A coupe and fastback

Anybody else on here actaully track their car? Like Autox, Track, or Drift?

You got that right my friend. I have an 87 Shelby Z Dodge Daytona. It will make about 315ish whp and 360ish ft-lb according to my estimates when I am done with it. Zoom zoom! Fuck looks, fuck everything else. I will keep mine as the daily driven beater rice killer. That and the weekend warrior at the track.

I don't blaze anymore due to my craving for speed. I would rather always be sober and somewhat safe when I put the pedal down.
