Im a tuner fanatic, i own 2 cars at the moment, and im looking for a third =D

I have a 95 eclipse Gsx, and a 91 3000gt vr4 (looking to buy a Evo 8)

So i was thinking who likes muscle cars, and who likes tuners?

Eclipse gsx

3000gt vr4

Evo 8

Tell me what you like, and maybe grab a picture or two!

Those urs? =O or just examples? I personally love skyline's :l their freakin sexy all tuners are good wimme tho

Posted

i doubt they're yours, tuners > muscle.

I'm a major musclehead, but I'm into tuners too. Like, I have a '97 MX6 in my garage at the moment, but I'd kill for a '67 Mustang or a Challenger :rolleyes:

Posted

Mustangs are the only cars I've ever liked.

those ones i posted arent mine, ill post pics of mine later, the 3000gt vr4 i have is a project, but my gsx is my daily driver (340 awhp aint bad =])

We dont really have muscle car's over here in England. Only when the yanks bring em over. :)

I bet you guys have alot of Audi's and Beamerz (BMW) over there tho, german engineering is very impressive, and second to no one!

I've got a 98' Jetta mk3 vr6 i want to tune, first i have to figure out what's wrong with the starter and get a painted fender to replace the current one

personally tuners>muscle

lol common misconseption..... tuners are not ricers, a "ricer" would have things done to the car not to impact the performance.  So any car can be a ricer (ive seen plenty of mustangs riced out)

I'm in to both.

I got a 2002 BMW 525i for my birthday, i chose this over an '97 eclipse because eclipse's tranny's go out often. Sucks for me that my BMW's tranny went out not even a year after i got it. I was able to install 2 12 inch and 10 inch subs in the back, along with 2 more 10's in my doors. Money wasted.

I plan on getting a '10 Camaro/Charger once i get enough money.

Actually the 2g eclipse (95-99) tranny's arent that bad, then again i have a stage 2 TRE built trans for mine, will hold up to about 450-500hp, it only cost me $1,300, but the 7 bolt 4g63t blocks are the problem with the crankwalk issue on turbo'd eclipse's.  Bmw's are nice tho, not as easy to mod because its not price friendly, but it is effiecient when modded

muscle, but evo's and skylines are win.

looks like we have a different opinion of what a ricer is.. i consider it any import car.. toyota, honda, ect.

he must not have had a built trans, two of the best Dsm transmissions you can get are TRE and Shep racing, but both are fairly expensive.  im gonna be running a real mitshubishi 18g turbo and boost 25-28 psi and make 400awhp, but 450hp is quick, i run 12.9 with 350awhp, but i have friends with 600 hp eclipse's/talons.

They are fun cars, you should look into them =D

well you cant really have a opinion on a word.... theres one definition for it, and that was made by the person who invented the word....  but how is ford f150's and other miscelanious cars not ricers in other countries then?  or yet alone america seeming that ford makes alot of cars in mexico, would that be considered an import?  Im not trying to argue, but more of show you my side

ps: i hate honda's, ill only drive a suburu, mitshubishi, or a nissan =D

i call them ricers cuz those country's are known for eating rice.. and there are more than one definition for one word.. all cars with less than 6 cylinders suck. torque>speed

Nothing happened to the car, it was still in perfect condition when he sold it in '98

I don't know shit about cars, but i would love to learn how to make them perform better and what is worth getting and what's not when it comes to upgrades and shit. Oh well. :p

lol 4 and 8 cylinders are the best types of engines u can have, 6 is a awkward styled engine, like the v10, if its not divisible by 4 then its no good....

Also you do know tuners are meant to make alot of torque right.....  turbo's are for torque, i have 360 ft ibs of torque out of a 4 cylinder and thats with less then 5 grand on the car + mods, and with mitshubishi 3000gt vr4's they have 320 hp 315 tq at 3500 rpm, trying getting that out of a pusstang.

Theres not multiple definitions for a word that one man invented, just like beyone copywrited "bootylicious", rice can be done the same way, leaving only one definition.
