*DAMN R6 Forum

just bought some wheels cos everywheres so far away in my new town and my pedally bike is to slow and tiring.
fuck me petrol costs a lot here.

what you drive kids?

coke

My daddy's automobile, much cheaper  ;)

heya joky, long time no see
i thought you crashed your daddys car just after you passed ur test!!
ab 2 years ago....

1990 Thunderbird w/supercharger and twin turbo. i've been riding ye old motorcycle around though, i only really use that when i'm going a long way now...i don't even have it on the insurance anymore.

coke waht parts of england are you from.

bronto,
i just moved up north to middlesboro from london.
didnt need a car in london, but now they started blowing buses and tubes up im glad of my timing.....
like the sound of ur wheels man...

2004 Mustang coupe. It's a v6 but the car is gorgeous and I'm gonna put in stome stuff this summer.

1998 White Mercury Mountaineer V8 w/ an Audiobahn system in it.

My list of cars, 1992 Volkswagen Jetta-toatalled in corn field, 1998 Dodge Dakota 5.9 R/T-toatalled ate a guard rail, 1987 Ford EXP- dead exploded, and my current vehicle a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta GL Black- still intact. My sis has a grey 04' 1.8t and its pretty fast compared to mine.

In any case it gets pretty good gas milage, about 300 plus miles on a tank of gas.

hmm well none. But i did once have a rusting Lada Samara with leapard skin seat covers. ::applause:: Cost me all of £50 and was the most disgusting thing you ever saw, but I used it to get to work and back when I was on nights so I never saw a soul anyway.  Then I found a tramp asleep in it one morning and that was the end of that.

it's not impossible...i'm going to have to assume you don't know anything about forced induction. albeit i needed a brand new intercooler.

i'll explain better just so i don't have to repost. i know it's a touchy subject, but it has been done many times and i'm good friends with a mustang expert so he did all the installation. 9000$ later i had brand new internals, new fuel injection, manifolds, and to make the TT/SC work together you redo the bypass for the blower and a bypass for the turbocharger. the supercharger is liquid cooled, so it doesn't get heated up again when it comes through.

Engine>turbo>intercooler>super

in the end it was pretty impractical because it detracted from my top end, but the accel is like getting punched in the chest. plus i know i can at least break even on the car now since it only cost 1500$ to start with :D

Citroen C3 1.4 litre.   Bloody cheap to run considering it does aprox 56MPG . its also one of the few cars i can ajust enough to fit in!!!  :o

(he's huuuge)

lol no i've just had a nasty history finding cars that have enough leg and head room for me to be able to fit in comfortably without my head denting the roof or my knees acting as a wheel lock ;) there are big cars out there but unless you have serious money to spend finding a small car with a lot of room inside is a wee bit tricky!

I'm driving an Opel Corsa 1.7 Diesel (For some reason its called Vauxhall in England  ::) )

Its a small but very good car.

460 + miles with one tank of gas (around 42 liters)

Almost totalled it last year, 2800€ of repair costs when I bought it for 3200€ two years ago :(

That was my mother's  :)

I saw you hosting GhR the other day btw, that's sooo last week. All the cool kids went and got a PC  ;)

An Opel? Honest thats what Vauxhall's are called over there? Heheh we used to have a Vauxhall Carlton, nice but it took a bit of a battering ;)

 :o
had a benz till last week.....stolen
off the street in SF...two days later
the Raleigh disappeared.
Now i ride BART.
Hypothetically.
If i went somewhere.

i've got a renault laguna...

don't bash me, i know its french   :-X

btw, the opel/vauxhall thing came about because in some countries "vauxhall" is a swear word aparently, so i've been told, its that one word may mean something else problem that most manufacturers have... the HSBC's ads point that out quite well :)

Wiggy so is the Citroen... and they're both nice cars  ;D

And anyone who doesn't like it can go um.... Vauxhall off  ::lol::

I actually had a short conversation with BFG about his care... this is what had to say.

http://www.homepage.mac.com/jairodelatorre/videogames/bfg.wav





as for what i drive, 97 Toyota Tacoma, slighty lifted with BFG Mud Trails.... beefy.  No engine mods-- all i do is drive around the city.


is vauxhall a person?... i do enjoy the vauxhall and I Moz album.

weak i love you, thankyou so much for that link... I just couldn't figure out why you were recording our little chat  ::lol::


-- Holy crap what is it with you americans and these bloody Gurt big trucks etc? Are you all wanna be builders or scrap merchants or something?

Nope, Americans just don't like driving sissy cars.  Over here, bigger is better!  ;)

Right, well im bloody fantastic then ;)

ok re the cars i can see where this is heading.. i won't ask about the environment petrol or pollution or anything ;)

my GF is vegan and drives a hyrbrid car... so all her care for mother earth evens out all my debauchery.

6 seats eh?, how many times in one year do you fill those 6 seats?

i only have 5, and mine has only been full twice already this  year

25mpg is so poor, you are probably lucky gas is so cheap over there, per gallon our petrol is close to £5, so till fill my tank would be around £40-50, ok at the same time, i get more mpg's, probably about 45-50. i think that was this whole thread was about... how expensive it is.

but hey, if you can afford it, i would have an attitude like that.

I take it GS, your insurance is paid for, probably most of your gas bills and the car is actually from the garage you work for?

GS you've probably heard this before, but I'll say it again: you have too many cars!

You just need to keep this one

wow this is the most replies i ever had to a thread i started. i feel so popular.
nice to see so many old heads about too. onwig, bfg etc.
good look
nice motor gs. bet that goes like shit off a shiny shovel..

You work for a Ford Dealership GS?  I'm an intern at JWT Detroit and am in the RAF department, so I get to deal with everything Ford. Hopefully you'll see my 06 Explorer POP which supposedly goes to the dealerships. 

Go figure I basically work for Ford but I drive an Acura:

2003 Acura CL Type-S, MT. The only thing I've done to it was buy some Yokohama Avids, the car handles so much better now.  Oh, and I'll never go automatic again.

Bronto hoe, my brother doesn't know how that's possible.  He doesn't understand where all that could possibly fit.  Can you take a picture of your engine?

Ooh, I want a Toyota hybrid car. From what I hear, it's by leaps and bounds the best hybrid system out there, I just have to wait on an attractive option (4Runner anyone!?!) :)

the supercoupe already has the supercharger fit snugly in there, the guy who did installation said he did the best he could to make room (i wasn't there for that phase so i don't know exactly what he did), but i have a big ol cal hood on there now. i don't have a digi cam, i'll get a disposable and get em developed soon.

I understood the part of having a Thunderbird SC and adding a turbo and intercooler (even though it doesn't make much sense to do it)...what I thought was impossible was adding a twin turbo setup to your supercharged 3.8L V-6.  I asked the guys in the dealership who work on them, plus I sell these things, you know.  ;)

yeah it's possible, it took time and money though. everything down to the exaust had to be worked on, i could probably just change the name of the car now. it wasn't all for nothing though, you'd have to drive it to understand why i did it. i'm probably going to end up parting it out and getting an old muscle car to work on within the next year or so.

here's a 4 cylinder with the same combo: http://gamma.nic.fi/~globe/rally/paradise/stat/car_b_delta.htm
i think they banned it though lol.

your totally right bronto, they banned those group B rally cars in 86, cos they were too fast. henri toivonen used to drive one and killed himself on (i think) the monte carlo. i went to a couple of those rallys back in the 80's (when i was a kid i hasten to add). ill post a photo if i can dig it out. check out the peugeot 205 T16's too

yeah i love rally cars, i wish they played that over here instead of fucking NASCAR...what a pansy ass motor sport that is.
