Pffft. Cars.  ;D

I drive a big old butch pick-up truck.

'91 GMC Sierra, single cab with the 8" box.
5.8L V8 under the hood.

The bugger gulps gas, but it is an absolute beast.

Phear the almighty 125hp of my 1.6L 4 cylinder! Though.... I am gay as hell, its part of my contracted obligation to drive a little car, besides who needs a big engine when you got a crowbar in the trunk amirite? XD

Then again... I got a hopped up 5.7l 351 Windsor in my RV with a custom intake manifold, Edelbrock performance carb and a K&N air filter. So I guess I got enough raw muscle power if I really wanna flaunt it hahah But I would take my quick Civic SI that I only gotta fill once every 2 weeks any day. The RV tends to be very un-weildly, but hey its all good :3

this is what i get around in, an original 1964 ford econoline 'travelwagon' camper van, yes, that means it was purchased at the showroom with all the camper features inc., the dome rooftop, they are quite hard to find.

My Porsche is a 2.5L Inline 4, 150 b/hp and has 50/50 weight distribution! (It's my commuter)

My Jeep is a 4.0L Inline 6, with 290 b/hp and has a 4inch liftkit! (It's my Dog and Drunk Furry Mover)

I couldn't even honestly say how much hp my RV's engine has, its had those mods and its a re-build, runs real smooth though, still looking forward to getting some real use outta it! ^.=.^

As for my Civic.. lol I know its hp is nothing special being a above average commuter car and all, by no means is it some car to honestly flaunt around hahah XD but I still would not even bother with trying to tune it or swap in one of Hondas more performance engines as what I got right now is the more powerful stock engine of its gen and she currently has 320,000 on the clock and burns no oil, I honestly wanna see how high of KMs I can get on that car. XD

On a random note, I can't believe some of the shit I have seen out there actually O.=.o at my job we get LOADS of 90's to very early 2000's cars and I have yet to see one that didn't have charred sludge for oil and an interior that was falling apart, its actual sad cause I have seen some pretty decent cars that I would snatch up in a heart beat as a beater, but they are too beat to shit to even be worth $250  forget the couple hundred more they got for them on trade, even my 1978 Econoline RV's interrior and engine bay look/work better hahaha

Aaah! The good old 944!  :D

[drewdle]

Got a new car.



'79 Volvo 245 DL. 2.1L four cylinder, SU carburettor, four-speed manual with external switched overdrive. 400,000kms, some rust, and all of 96hp when it was brand new. Fantastic old boat. Gets decent mileage too, believe it or not. It's going to be a keeper come camping season.

I liked those glass headlights more than the giant plastic boxes Volvo adopted in later generations. Lol hell those older Volvos honestly look nicer than the ones from the 90s XD


I wish cars didn't step away from glass headlights, what was so bad about headlights that were virtually ageless and only a little more expensive.

DOT, that's what happened. I'm pretty sure that the plastic lamps are supposed to be "shatterproof", and thus were judged to be better from a safety standpoint. I could be talking out my ass though. :) I love the four-eyes look. Volvo put both 7" bug-eyes and quad 5.75" setups on these cars, the quad setup being the last round glass lamps they used before going to the square halogens in 1980 or 1981, and then the plastic boxes in 1987.

I will say they are getting harder to come by in stores, though. Three of the four of those lights (yeah, I know, not so good, but I didn't do it so meh) are actually not Halogen lamps, they're just standard glass lamps. You can't even buy those any more I don't think.

I've looked at this car in comparison with newer 240s, and noticed something peculiar. This car (and I presume all the 70's to early 80's models) has chrome window frame, chrome glass frames on the side glass, chrome side mirrors, chrome roof rack (yeah, it's real chrome), and so forth. There is no black plastic to speak of, except in the grille and headlight assemblies. Beginning in the early eighties they blacked out the door frame, glass surrounds, swapped in plastic square mirrors, and changed up the roof rack setup, which significantly alters the look of the car (makes it look smaller, my opinion). But the neat thing about this change is that the body panels and glass stay the same. It's just the application of matte black paint and swapping some accessory body parts that causes the change.

Oh, and this is my first carb. It's a bit of black magic but I'm beginning to like the lack of sensors, computers, and other paraphernalia that constantly dies or needs replacing. If the car doesn't run properly, prop the hood, check the plugs, adjust the mixture a bit, and you're off.

Oh god, I have gotten to know carbs more and more thanks to my RV and its Edelbrock, I have been tweaking that lots. One point I had it so rich she bogged and stalled at lights, then I had it far to lean so she "popped" and had a very gutless feeling, I finally got it at a nice medium but am still dealing with her cold-stalls, I have to repeatedly turn it back on till its sufficiently warmed up. Its been a learning experience to say the least, but its pretty cool when you figure these things out ^.=.^

Also had to wire in my own manual choke since the electric one was shot, it works but you really gotta know how much to give it or you will just stall her out *chuckles*

Heck if your car is having any carb issues I would invest in some Seafoam, I did my RV ages ago and it made her smooth out a noticeable amount :) Best part is with carbourated vehicles they are stupidly easy to seafoam. ^.=.^

Torwin did you repaint your car or is that an old picture? I was sure it was bright red with sweet painted rims last i saw =/
