Members Rides. What do you drive?

[dflwrx]

Since we're all waiting for the release of the FT86/086a I thought it would be fun to check out what other members of our fledgling community are driving currently. Post up pictures and specs of your current vehicle if you have something you'd like to share.

It doesn't have to be flashy!

What to include:

Pictures
Modifications
Any numbers/specs/times if you have time
Any build history or back story you care to share

Hey everyone, I'll get this started with my own car. It's not very good looking since I wanted to work on performance modifications before cosmetic ones. I'm slowly improving the exterior appearance now, but it's clearly not a show car. The car's been slowly accumulating mods over the past couple years and as it sits it has a built/swapped motor, swapped driveline and modified brakes/suspension/etc. I'm just going to start off with a list of mods currently on the car (off the top of my head and probably not all inclusive) I'll also be including info on the new motor.

My first 240. 1990. I beat that car to death and it was a machine. Then someone puled out in front of me and I t-boned'em. Totaled. I was doing an Auot-X event at the Milwaukee Mile. The countries oldest track in the country.


Here's a pic of a little "drifting" accident. Oops.


Then my second 240. 1993. It all it's 4x4 glory. I loved that car. So clean. I swapped the interior from my red hatch into the coupe though because the coupe was just messed up. That's easily one of the cleanest S13 interiors out there. Some dude in Madison WI has the car now. I sold it last year.




I also bought a 2000 Eclipse GT new that I did a lot of drag racing with. I don't have any pics of it though online.

[dflwrx]

I'm really digging the S14 and the sonic yellow WRX... That yellow was such a great color...

[impreziv]

greetings from Canada, my first post. im really interested in getting the Subaru version of this car.

i've just recently sold my 1990 Nissan Skyline GTR, and i've been intending to buy a new Civic Si sedan (which I probably will buy).

i've also just finished building a 1989 EF Civic hatch, with a 2001 GSR motor (B18C1), but snow is about to hit the ground, so its going away for the winter months.

That must be rough. GTR is the perfect snow car!

[impreziv]

its not really that great in the snow. i had a pretty firm suspension setup, and a very heavy clutch. it was a real handfull to drive in the summer.

im going to be buying another one in a few weeks, and going an LS2 swap, but its going to be RWD.

THAT IS AWESOME.

Thanks! Interestingly, it didn't cost a ton to do. Well, the performance stuff at least, the trans swap bled my wallet dry. One of my major goals was to make "big" power on a budget, so I made a lot of the parts myself and did 100% of the labor and tuning (with the help of a couple friends for heavy lifting, etc.).

I actually ended up making my own rotated mount uppipe, downpipe and EWG plumbing, made most of the IC piping myself from generic tubing.


I can't wait to see this V8 skyline! Sounds like blasphemy, but I want to check it out anyway

[freshADR]

I am also a fellow Subaru owner . Nothing too crazy. The car has mostly suspension bits. Minor exterior work and power mods. I do have a new turbo sitting in the garage but I just haven't had time....here are some pics. Sorry my car is dirty lol.

I bought the car brand new in 07 and it still feels feels like I just got it a couple months ago.

2006 STi, Steel Gray Metallic


(not a great pic, but couldn't find anything else quickly)

Modifications:
Cobb TBE + AP v2
SPT Turbo Heat Shield
17x8.5 Gram Lights 57F (Bronze)
Pioneer AVIC-Z1 headunit

The last time I went to the drag strip was when I was still running the Cobb OTS Stage 1 map and ran 13.1 @103mph. Still haven't ran it since going stage 2.

[dflwrx]

I ran 12.9 @ 104.5mph in my stage 2 WRX

I'm jealous of your car, I think a stage 2 STI is one of the world's best Daily drivers, especially if you're somewhere that gets snow.

[DownhillMR2]

I know it's probably uncommon to have my first post be in a "What you drive" thread, but I've been lurking, and I figured there's so many Subaru posts, I should add my Toyota. So here's my AW11. She's a little rough around the edges, but I have a 20v 4AGE swap planned, and then I'll get to the cosmetics. She handles amazing, and I love her.

[tenacious bee]

I have this 2003 wrx wagon:
It has a 2.5L Sti SB
Blouch D1 turbo
Six speed swap
And a ton of other stuff. Brakes, suspension all fully modded.

And this. 2009 Scion XB release series. One of 2500 made.
all stock for now.

I also have a 240 SX with a jdm 2.0L turbo motor swap . It is not photo worthy at this time LOL ! Also a 2004 Jetta GLS 2.0L na and 97 Le Sabre making up the beater fleet.

Great car, always wanted to drive one.

There is nothing but win in an affordable mid-rear layout... Well, as long as it's not a ghetto fiero...

[Artie]

Here is my BMW E30. I picked it up over a year ago, with blown up engine and no reverse. After numerous weekends I got this thing running. I wanted to have inexpensive club racing car that I could drive to and from a track. I got welded in roll cage, race suspension, all adjustable camber/caster/toe front and rear,fully gutted out interior, engine management, LSD, upgraded brakes, exhaust (side dumb), fully rebuild race engine. Car is under 2100lb!
I am planing on making a turbo kit and fuel cell before next season.



This is us working on the cage

This M3 look hot. I want it so bad! S14 ftw. What it needs?

[dflwrx]

Looks like it needs some cosmetic work, unless I'm just seeing reflections in the paint and not blemishes... Either way, the E30 M3 is a hot car!
