MR_SpaRkLes 11-10-2002 09:57 PM

HAHA unfortunately no. i have no cash and my friend had his stock si hood in the garage. so he gave it to me for free. i figured it wouldnt hurt anybody to put it on. sooner or later it WILL be carbon. thnx though.

I have '98 Chevy Blazer that is my daily driver and I have a '78 Buick Century sedan that I take to the track. The Buick has a Jasper built Chevy 350 w/Edelbrock Performer manifold & Edelbrock 750cfm 4bbl carb. and K&N open filter on top. It has TH350 tranny and 3" Cherry bomb turbo exhaust system.

MR_SpaRkLes 11-10-2002 10:35 PM

hey black sabbath, are you trying to say that everyone and their pet owns a civic?!:) hahahaha. ya damn right.

Here's my killer ride! http://www.mscenter-kadep.org/images/imgBus.gif

MICROMAZDA 11-11-2002 04:22 PM

02 Mustang GT...stock right now but things are planned:)

Mattydiah 11-11-2002 06:31 PM

I drive an 89 Jeep Wrangler 4.2L. Its bored out almost 100 over (thick water jacket!!), it has a new Hi-Flo carb, a hotter cam, new pistons, rings, rods, valves, the works. New tranny, transfer case, high flow intake and exhaust manifold, cat-back straight pipe and performance computer.

I've never had it dynoed, but if you wind it up and dump the clutch, it can get the front tires off the ground and it will spin the tires into 4th gear, so its got some punch!

Its also lifted 3 inches and is wearing 32's.

The above picture is fresh out of the shop after I had the motor bored out.

MLE_Sol 11-12-2002 12:39 AM

as I've said b4, '95 Honda del Sol Si. I came from the Import scene....saw a couple of guys had these at the ImportMix carshow when it was goin on down here, I had to have one. I really want a custom one done of my car to have riding around at the shows, but I gotta get someone to do it for me...

but here's my ride:

Well, it is a '98 Honda Prelude 5speed with AEM intake, Tanabe DTM cat-back exhaust, AEM Pulleys, NGK Plugs + Wires, 17" Konig Traffiks, OEM Front and Side Spoilers, Mugen Rear Skirt, OEM spoiler, Autometer 5" Tach w/ Shiftlite, ITR Gunmetal Shiftknob, Blue Neon on floorboards, Kenwood Audio Stuff, Custom Blue Valve Cover.....the car is VERY clean, not a typical rice burner by any means. I have only a few stickers (for my shop and my club) and nothing on the outside that you see on every other ****ty-ass rice burner out there (for example, no altezza's or windshield nozzle lights.) Overall I love my car and I believe in keeping it clean!

MR_SpaRkLes 11-12-2002 09:54 AM

sweet, im a big fan of traffics. anything that looks like advans are ok with me:) i like mine in flat black though.haha

hawks10 11-12-2002 01:16 PM

yea I got the wheels awhile ago, if I could go back I would get gunmetal or bronze....I actually am most likely gonna get these wheels soon (in bronze or gunmetal..cant decide)

MICROMAZDA 11-12-2002 03:11 PM

You're 14 so anything and most things you think doesn't really matter and or count with anyone over 20

Children should be seen not heard...

Now with that said, my toy is a 2002 Mustang GT! GO FORD! its good to be able to buy little toys and big ones too and not have to beg for allowance :)

HAHAHAHAAH, you'll understand later. after you get outa highschool and live on your own, no one really cares what you think or how you act. when you get out by yourself you'll see that people aren't as quick to judge like your probably used to.

Yeah, and you're a bit sad if you plan to limit how much fun you can have based on your age. I dont care how old I am, if its fun I'll do it. If you're insecure enough to care what other people think about what you choose to do with your spare time then have fun with your boring adult life.

so very true.

freakanoid 11-13-2002 12:45 PM

well
 
lets jus say u people live on your own ye.
well ok then.

but when u become a wierdo its not my fault.:D

who is over 30

binaryterror 11-13-2002 01:02 PM

Stop being a sheep...who cares what you think is cool and not cool.
Once you get out of high school you realize people don't care if you wear "cool" clothes or do "cool" things. So if you are under 16 and play with these, thats cool, but I'd like to hear you say something like this when you actually grow up to be a mature thinking adult.

Least most of us can type.

Actually i do live on my own (with my fiance`).


[sidenote]HURRAY TINYRC has the MINI-X back in stock!![/sidenote]

freakanoid 11-13-2002 01:16 PM

MR_SpaRkLes 11-13-2002 02:21 PM

do they make body kits for those? ive never seen any

henry 11-13-2002 07:05 PM

thats a nice piece or carp:D . it would look more nice if u had drop it a little.

MR_SpaRkLes 11-14-2002 11:27 AM

well i know tibourons are the "civics" of japan so im fure there ar kits over there. i know for a fact that veilside makes a kit but i think its for the next generation body style after his.

the dude. wow im impressed with what you have done. a little machining here and there is sweet. usually around here tibourons get destroyed with lights and flashy wheels etc. but you have managed to keep a simple aggressive functional look. my hats off to you. slam it and paint those cp-35's black an youll be big pimpin it. good job. have you taken it down the 1320 yet???

freaknoid, go to the search function it will help.

The Dude 11-14-2002 08:26 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys. The pic is a bad angle...but it is dropped about as low as functionally possible. There's about a one finger gap from the fender and the 40 series tires, so it's pretty damn low. :p

And yes, there's a good 10 body kits for my gen Tiburon. A lot of them are badass. I'm just not into that type of stuff (well not anymore, I'm gonna sell the car soon).

I took it down the 1/4 with the 17s on and a Check Engine Light (sensor problem, car was running WAY rich)...ran a pretty sad 16.3 my first time out. I've got the car running good again, I'd guesstimate I'll hit a ~15.7 next time out.

TRD High comp. pistons
TRD oversized valves
MSD ignition

Oh my god...that car is freakin' SWEET. Many, many, many props to ya. :cool: :cool: :cool:

MR_SpaRkLes 11-19-2002 07:49 PM

HOLY ISHT! i absolutely love it. hmmm there was an article in superstreet a couple months ago i think. about an old celica like this one. it was a sweetass article. he was in the game back when there were no shops like they have today. and he tuned everything himself. the article and the car were really inspiring. i really really love your ride. its a classic import. which i think is one of the most original cars these days. its hard to do anything different anymore and you have done just that. my hats off to you and your baby, i hope others can understand what im talkin about. darrrrrnit, i told myself i wouldnt crrrryyy.
