Mikomi · June 01, 2012, 12:46:30 PM

So any of you love cars? Driving them working on them? Admiring them?

:D I love cars to the max, i used to race my friends car on the track in races. Now I'm helping my roomie get his car trackable.
Hes got a 95' Civic SI.

And i just got my self a 2012 Civic. Getting a rear sway bar soon. Then going to drop it just about an inch, and eventually get a basic Turbo set-up. :D

So how about you all? What are you driving? whats your favorite car?

Yay car furs! :birdy:

i`m not as much a car enthusiast as i am a big appreciator of the 1961-67 ford econoline van series, especially the camper 'travelwagon' versions.

here`s a picture of my vehicle:

Haha I know that roomates car... Lol he was actually the one who convinced me to buy my 93 Civic SI Hatch, would not trade it for anything now! ^.=.^ The coupes are not bad, but I would still stick with my hatch any day. I like the versatility and I got this dislike of trunks for some reason XD I have been adding on to my SI over the years. Latest addition was some 35% window tint (need to get new photos of that) She even just surpassed 323,000km still going strong! Not sure if I would race mine though, I love it a bit too much to totally bag it, especially since it burns no oil at such high kms, im kinda in it for the long haul.

Honestly I think the only other car I can see myself with at this present time is a 2011 Honda CRZ. I would have been all over the civic had they continued the hatchback in North America, Honda screwed the pooch when they pulled that model from North America and left us only with Coupes and Sedans. :/

My riced and abused 99 impreza RS 2.5L coupe i bought last year. Sadly it has a VI order on it which it can't pass on my current coilovers so i won't be driving it for awhile :(

Way more stuff i probably can't even think of

2001 Acura CL Type S

She's got balls, and I love the tiptronic shift, fully loaded with the leather package and memory seats with heat;)

I'd always wanted to put some work into it, but not sure I will now, I'll probably hold out and save up until I can get myself a WRX ...if the promotion goes really well maybe STI? ;D

Fools dream I guess, but its fun to think about.

I would man you can get some damn nice STI's cheap if you watch for older ones from japan. A good place to keep an eye on is tyee imports. They are on the island and always have some nice stuff.
That's if you don't mind RHD of course.

Kyroo · June 02, 2012, 06:01:24 PM

What a bad accronym...I can get STI's really cheap downtown Victoria and Vancouver area too...I hear Main and Hastings is a good place to pick one up ;D Not sure I'd want an older one from Japan though :P

Tonk · June 02, 2012, 09:27:27 PM

hehe i remember seeing some sti awareness ad where someone photoshopped the car into it and it said something along the lines of "STI's are spreading fast. Check your garage today"
Haven't been able to find it again though

2001 Jeep Tj Sport

4.0L Straight 6 with 31x10.5R15 all terrain tires

I'm all about driving to hard to reach places, up mountains, deactivated roads etc.
I usually do most of my own mechanical work with friends. Jeep's aren't known for their speed or good looks, but the practicability, and ruggedness make it the ideal vehicle for this blue haired vulpine. ^^

Finally got a updated picture with my summer wheels (14"s off a 2004 Civic LS) and the window tint I got ^.=.^

Oh and while im at it... lol may as well show my monster *unzips his pants and pulls out his..... Phone* <.=.< >.=.>
This gargantua is running a 351 Windsor with a Holley intake manifold, a Edelbrock 1406 4 Barrel carburetor and I was even lucky enough in the past few months to get my claws on a K&N air filter and chromed housing assembly for free :D lol I have no clue what kinda power it pushes out now, but seeing as its mated with a 3 speed ford C6 tranny, there is only so much it can do. This picture was taken shortly after I re-painted the grill, the last owner had it all flat black cause he wanted to give it some sorta biker badass look lol. Im gonna be getting it insured for the summer in the coming weeks when things get nicer out. ^.=.^

Nice. I was going to test drive an Element SC once, but the salesman who "promised" he'd get it in for me to check out never called me back, so... his loss, I suppose!

Drake Wingfire · November 17, 2012, 06:49:38 PM

Its sad that where I work we get so few cool cars in, but I have driven a rather vast spectrum of vehicles, from things as shitty as Cavilers and Smart cars (no seriously they drive and run like shit) to heavy duty trucks and even a 25ft cargo truck even XD

Out of everything I have driven I will say that the only things I really admit to liking driving wise were a 2009 Mustang GT, cause it was standard and a actual V8, a few civic coupes (cause I am a Honda nerd) and the odd niche vehicles like a Kia Soul which was surprisingly a nice drive!

Good eye. I love my sc. I just put some (slightly larger than spec) winter tires on it, otherwise the ride is brutally stiff. It has virtually no neat features, besides the full out lighting job I've done. (xenon kit in the stock hid lens, so I don't blind people, all other bulbs are high intensity led, added Lego block white fender markers, a bunch of accent lighting inside, and a ridiculously bright pool of under car white light when I unlock or open the doors.)
