Other Cars

[coralcoupe1993]

Is anyone into other cars outside of Mustangs? What else do you collect?

I have some Galaxies, and Fairlanes!

That Holden 9 bolt is one rare rear. My buddy had an '85 T/A with it.

I have the Crown Vic and a Yamaha Warrior.

The wife has an '07 Mariner Luxury AWD V-6

I really want a new Bullitt (too expensive) and a new Camaro.

Very cool! Were you on the site when I posted pictures of my Dads? He sold it to the neighbor though. Had the green block and 3 speed. I have a Hydromatic for one of those if you need it. :thmbsup:

[travj31]

My problem is that I like too many different kinds of cars. I love the modern muscle cars and you can never go wrong with the 60's muscle cars. However, my favorites are the old school coupes and sedans. I recently just picked up a 1925 Model T that I will be doing some work to over the winter. It's road worthy the way it is now, but I need to change alot of things to make it to my liking.

[mineralrob]

I like everything,muscle,imports,lowriders etc. When i'm not messing with my stang i like to toy around with my civic. I've owned 3 other imports(all acura integras) and this is my first civic. There fun in a diffrent way.

I dont know if i ever saw it, but i definitely remember talking to you about it :highfive:

[PSPstang]

i am into restoring mustang police package cars (ssp's) to all stock in service condition.
the key is doing them with all the period correct equipment which can be challenging to find.
my friend recently sold his fully restored mca gold award 92 CHP stang with over 150K miles for 17K!

i have been doing some odds and ends on this one
1993 Nebraska Car 5spd car 103K original miles-rust free

whenever i stray from mustangs i always seem to have very bad luck.

[RUTHLESS]

As I moved up to my Cobra I have had a few fun cars. This is not every car I have owned just the fun ones.

82 Z28 with a 350 out a a corvette (First thirdgen year)
95 Talon TSI AWD (Everyone thought it was nice but it was a dog!)
90 Iroc Camaro (5 speed 305 TPI damn fast for a stock car back in the day)
93 Stealth R/T TT (I loved this car! Only stock part left were the turbos)
05 Impreza STI (Quick but not fast. lol)
03 Cobra (Oh baby!!)

Next will be a Blue or Gray C6 Zo6 when the time comes.

[MBH]

I LOVE Vipers. a Gen II GTS or Gen III (coupe or vert) will always have a soft spot in my heart. I've never been in love with a car for as long as I have with the terminator, and I couldn't swing the pricetag on a viper... and I got screwed out of an early GT500 deal at MSRP, so here I am. I couldn't be happier about it :)

When the cobras time comes, I really want another snake of some kind to fill it's void

I got the rear out of a 1987 formula 350 / auto hard top ws-6 , its a disc rear with 3.42s. the car was literally twisted to the point the roof and the floor were torn so I parted it

If its the rear I am thinking about it sucks. COuld not find gears for it. Austrialian rear. I had it in my '89 Z-28 many years ago. It had the 1LE package.

Since water flows down the drian the other way in Austriala, would that rear burn the left tire if it were a peg leg?

Yea, that was funner in my head. Really stupid after I took the time to type it.... :bike:

Dude, remember Nick's left tire would spin first before his limited slip would kick in and spin the right? That water thing was always my theory.

[MBH]

Yeah vipers run awesome, but man they sound like poop!!:o
Yes, they can sound horrible if done "wrong" but so can a mustang. I'd like to think I know what parts sound "right" :)

I think that sound is intoxicating... I'm in love!

I love the vr6 sound. my buddy has a R32 its awsome. but im a HUGE fan of boost!

[2001GTTT]

a good friend of mine has an 03 or 04 r32....that thing is unmatched in the corners, its amazing.

[sweeney1030]

Ive heard they are hard to find parts for but there was a guy on thirdgen.org that had different ratios for sale a while back for them. the 3.42s are stock and thus far I've had no quams with it, so Ill beat it till it blows apart , I have had 13 fbodys from 82-92 over the years and almost all the standard ten bolt rears failed. I dont no about the water issue but they (the tires) both smoke pretty well, I run 255/45/16 nittos.

[2002LXSport]

I've never heard anything good about the 7.5" 10 bolt.

[turbo83coupe]

I recently purchased a 1980 BMW 320i 5 spd car. It is a fun little car that I am starting to research a little more and looks like it will be allot of fun. Has a few minor issues from setting in a garage for several years, but I am sorting through it all. I need to get some photos up :) Any other classic BMW lovers? (Clark doesnt count :D )

lol, during our late night BS sessions this topic has come up from time to time. it SOUNDS like a good idea. :highfive:

[badf250]

I have been into the 80's and early 90's turbo Dodges for a while now. I have owned 2 of them, can't beat the cost to performance ratio IMO. I also have a thing for the big ass 70's cars for some reason, not fast, but still have character. I have rally been Mopar muscle guy all of my life, but liked Ford trucks, which got me into Fords too Fox body stangs being my Favorite Ford cars.

That one seemed to sound better on decel. than anything. I just cant get into that particular sound.:dunno: I have heard some stangs that sounded pretty crappy also..

Yeah, I think that you can make any cars sound bad. I will say that the Viper needs to rev higher than stock to sound really good though. I just love those cars, they're just timeless IMO.

I also love me an 09 WRX, just ask Brian (97laserred) haha I really want one when the hummer gets put into the end-lease pasture.
http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/collegemt/100_1148.jpg
that's an 08 and not an 09, which means its slow, soft & doesn't get some of the STI body treatment, but its basically what I'd do if I had one, but with those wheels in satin black possibly w/ a red pinstripe on the lip.

Here is an 08/09 STI set up pretty much like what I had in mind (this week lol)
http://www.ziptied.com/Coppermine/albums/userpics/10489/out1.jpg

09 wrx goes 13.5 @ 101 stock, with supposedly plenty of room to grow. I'm definitely interested come one year and 16 days.

Also, say what you want, I like the 5 door scoobie lol

o who knows!! i remember the day i brought it home i of corse was looking under the hood with my very thought onto if it would fit or not. then a week or two later i went out the race at columbus and there was an old 3 series that showed up with a VERY clean install of a 2.3T motor!! :thmbsup:

Wow, that black STI looks sick. I really wish they would have made STI wagons before now so I could pick up a decent used one.

I know me too, I love the way the new 5 door looks especially the STI.

[RUTHLESS]

That STI looks like a shoe. I am glad I got a 05 when I did and I am even more glad I traded it in on the Cobra. :goodidea:

If the STI was still a sedan, I may be interested, the 5 door wagon thing does nothing for me.

lol no offense taken :beerchug:

They're quirky cars & definitely not for everyone :)

[95riosnake]

I pimp around in a 165,000 mile 92 Lumina most of the time...mm hmm, be jealous. Just in case you are doubting my baller status, yes it's a EURO :shocker: lol

I'm lookin to pick up a new beater though, tryin to find a VW Golf or GTI with less than 100k for like <$6k... or anything else that catches my eye.

[Stangman701]

HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH its even got veins and everything!! :rofl: that's great!

no homo, I think shooting brake cars (2 door wagons) are cool looking cause they're so unconventional looking (no because of the penis factor, despite how alluring as that may be lol)

[scott5]

got a thing for F-bodies and corvettes...

But cant get past the look of a newer m3

I bought a '97 Jetta GT with 65K on it for $2700 in February. Couldn't be happier,it's fun little car to drive. Not a whole lot of motor, but it sticks in corners well. unny thing it, it replaced a 1990 Pontiac Grand prix with 140K on it. Almost the same as your Lumina.
