I'm big on cars and was wondering if anyone else on this forum is as well. I plan on making my own forum for my area as soon as i'm able to access my account on here. i like the idea that this guy made up stating we had to have five good posts. its a good way to meet your audience. well anywho i'm big on cars and i own two honda preludes both the same body style one is a 97' and the other is a 00' i plan on turboing the 00' in the next couple months. my 97' has got a ton of goodies inside from a navagation system/dvd player and many custom interior upgrades the exterior is show quailty with a full kit on it racing suspension and 18' in wheels. she is a beauty and the wife hates it.
so do any of you have a car or into the scene list your mods and your cars below.
I own this car http://www.cardomain.com/ride/515290
Ignore the Kenneth Kingestad thing, thats the previous owner.
Now the car needs some fixing up since it has had a few scraches (ok it needs a whole new bodykit) but its still a smooth ride.
Its not a car, its a BMW I'm working on modding out my jeep...
(A '97 Grand Cherokee)
My full plans:
-Enourmous lift
-Tires as large as will fit considering the lift
-Rims painted to match exterior (already has 'em, but they'll need replacing for the new tires)
-Snorkel (Increase wading depth to more than 6ft)
-Supercharger (Homemade from a leafblower)
-Grill gaurd with winch
-Plenty of lights
-Extra roof rack crossbars
-NOS (perhaps)
-Repaint all gold and chrome black
-Transmission with better range
This will provide it with a distinctive style, and superb on and off-road performance. (it can already do 0-60Mph in 7.6 seconds with no supercharger)
i m into modified vehicles any one got some nice home made vidz of them>?

That's my car. I haven't updated the page in a long time though.
My future car will be a late-model Commodore Berlina station wagon which I'll convert to manual, drop on its guts, put 18" wheels, some sort of nice (not ricey) looking body kit, good paint, good sound system, and tune the hell out of the engine - I want to have a quick V6, a V8 would be nice but I just feel like tuning a V6 for some reason 
.
On the other hand I might just get a V8 Berlina station wagon and go from there. Oh yes,
I would like to built it my self though:
Off-road/onroad capable/legal
Belts
Turbine engine
Independent control of both tracks
Light weight, but extremely strong

When you are done do you think you could post some pics. I really want to see this.
I want to get an old chevelle and restore it. Me and my dad plan to do this in the next year or so.hell yeah, I'm into Yank motors for sure currently working on a 85 suburban, looking to lift it 6" to accomodate some decent wheels/tyres, tempted to do a dually conversion just to make it stand out a little more.
pics are on www.bigyellowtruck.co.uk I'm going to get a ford focus or toyota yaris when I get a permanent job (2nd hand). My dream car to buy would be an Audi TT quattro or Mazda MX series. My favourite car of all time would be the Ferrari Begatti, new release, gobsmacking awesome power and class.
I am interested in classic cars. I was wondering if anyone else had this same hobby of fixing up cars. If you have fixed some classic cars can you please show me some pics.
Anyway dream car is a chevelle. Should be blue with either two black stripes or two white stripes. Should be a late 60's early 70's
My one true indulgence in life, besides my daughter, is my Corvette Stingray (1970)....it is a thing of beauty, but I am slightly biased.

i'm keen on cars too i'll buy a car next year(probably a civic vti or 200sx s13)I have a minivan. It's a V6. I'm the coolest dad in the neighborhood. The kids show their admiration for me by tolietpapering my house.
Yo.
If your into your cars best get down to www.pistonheads.com/gassing
It's a British site, but there are members from all over. We're into all sorts of different cars!
My personal car experiance is mainly from the line of Renault Clios I have had, my first being a 1993 example, I crashed my black 2001 one, and now have a silver 2002 DCi. Good cars, if a bit boring. The best I can afford to insure as I'm only 21.
I make the trip to Le Mans 24 Hour, this year will be my 2nd. The convoys heading down are amazing, and the campsites are full of Porsches, Lambos, Ferraris, Morgans, Lotuses, etc.
i like to do my own work on the car when I can. I was able to do more on my older one as it was simpler, but unfortunatly newer cars don't allow you to do much on them, needing special tools for each car largely. It's annoying, but just means I will have to only gett older cars in the future!
My dream car is the Lambo Murci. But I think I'll own a Smart Roadster or a Vauxhall VX220 when I can afford either!

I adore cars, kind of ashamed to say I actually drive a Citroen C5 most of the time. However I have driven the Lamborghini Murciélago which is awesome and many other cars which have nice performance. Nothing modded though, that is pretty rare in Europe (the part where I live anyway). And Lennon, I have driven the Audi TT quattro and I reckon it sucks big time. Buy an old Peugeot and do it up and you will something far better. And what is a Ferrari Begatti. Do you mean Bugatti? I thought that was owned by the Volkswagen Concern.i love cars, but mainly for convenience and practicality. it takes me 1.5 hrs to get to school. so, i can't wait to take my driver's license and start driving! i'd love a toyota echo! i love cars too...i dnt have one yet...but im thinking of getting a 180 or something similar...i want turbo!! lol...going fast is fun...
hey kids. I currently have a Peugeot 205 1.8D INCA, does anyone else have a 205 INCA?? i have never seen annother one in my life. well strange. Working on getting a BMW 318 later this year. Nice.
Peace
hi people i have officialy gt the worlds fastest hillman hunter its gt the standed 1725cc motor exept ive had the hole thing reworked forged pistons and the lot i dont no y i love hillman hunters but i do its gt a homemade stainless supercharger and just bout nething else u can thing of even a flamethrower exhaust it runs low 8s every time and i just thought i would let u no i luv itttttttttttt Better way to ask would be who doesn't like cars! I personally haven't even met anyone who wouldn't like to drive a car. I now drive my dad's old Citroen Xantia -95 when he bought Citroen C5 -01. I'm working on trading that Xantia to Honda Civic. I found one at car shop nearby, and I just couldn't get my eyes of it. It was year -99 and had 1.4i engine which would be more economical, because it uses less gas than Xantia, which has 1.8i engine. Also japanese cars are durable, at least so I've heard. I just don't know how much money I'd have to put on that trade, because my dad won't pay for that and actually I even don't want him to.
I love cars but i love my car... in this moment i have a Mercury Mystique 1999 (Like European Mondeo first generation) I think is a great car, it has a V6 2.5 Liters and 170 HP, actually is not much power but this car has a great behavior in the city or in the highway!!!!
It's a familiar Sedan and in the moment that i have more money probably will be change it for another Ford Model, i thought for example in a new Ford Fusion or Mercury Milan (I love Ford's)
does anybody like jap cars?
i like my cars too heres my wee motor
