Agreed. Like that Suprah, that's some nice shit. Hopefully He'll finish it off with a spoiler that isn't larger than my house

no spoiler for that car.  you notice in the before shot it had a giant wing.  i cant stand wings

That's what I mean, nothing big like that, but imo, you can't leave it "Naked"

If anything, put the standard/toyota one back on

the car is long gone now.  the customer liked the clean look better.  after it left my shop the kid who bought it from the original owner blew it up on a local track.  not sure where it is now.   but I got 8k for my work so i could care less. 

im curently working on 911 turbo that some hack in california messed up.  also a 55 rolls royce wraith.  no mods  just getting some paintwork repaired.

So far I have spent around £2500 ( I know Im not gonna get that money back ) most of the mods is still not on it and are sitting in my spear room to be put on lol as for sound system

2x 12" Voodoo subs
1x 3000watt amp
1x 1000 watt amp ( runing 6by 9ins )
4 x 5 way 1000watt ( Neon ) 6by 9ins
1x Digital capper I think its 3000 watts but not 100% I cant remember

And I have a Clarion head unit but Im selling that to get another one

Sounds Nice but i listen to loads of hip hop so beat comes it really smoothe I will take a pic of the inside of the boot later so u can see the amp and capper :-)

Jesus thats a fair bit of power. I bet that made up a significant proportion of the cost

you are right sir :-)

the only jap cars worth a damn are newer maximas and altimas along with skylines and most all of the infinitis. nsx is pretty sweet too.

I would take almost any old nissan over a newer one any day. You pick like the worst examples Nissan used the rear suspension design from the skylines/300z for the 240...New altimas might as well be a toyota they are so fucking boring to drive.

Old honda went as far as to use long arm short arm on most of their cars for front and rear, Ive said before for what it is the early 90's accord sedan is an amazingly fun car to drive. Not the highest limits on its handling and a shit ton of body roll, but grocery getter mannerisms aside and it really feels like a car should in a corner, at least enough to let you drive it into the corner rather then just demonstrating the hopeless understeer and complete lack of balance most modern commuter cars show.


Driving cars hard, and the feeling of how dynamic the car becomes in a corner is one of the greater things in life.

I'm real skeptical of people talking about "modding" cars though, because all too often they simply mean gluing as much goofy shit to it as it takes to impress their friends and co-workers. I fucking hate that... The "import scene" is full of retards who could care less about cars, outside of the attention having a nice car can get them. Domestic guys are less about fashion and car accessories, but still in general are about as worthless and trendy as import guys.

Pretty much anytime you see some one making a blanket statement about imports/domestics/ect.... they are worthless.
(I'm not bitter, promise)

why do people waste their money 'moding' wrong wheel drive cars?  spend all the money you want, it's still a just a civic or 323. 



do huge woofers and blue neon make your car faster or handle better?

I don't know you but you might be a tool.
If he claims blue lights and neons make his car faster I'll come make fun of him with you. Maybe he things they look cool and likes music? Not every one modifies a car to make it faster.

You can make all the claims you want as to preference. I like a RWD car myself because it feels cool. but both the civic and the 323 (which came awd as well...) can be very quick cars. Civics have had HUGE success in amateur/SCCA racing Mini's will destroy other cars on track.

What because "the front wheels have to turn AND accelerate"?

Front wheel drive also requires less chassis bracing to achieve the same stiffness, so you can have a lighter stiffer car then a RWD. The drive train itself also weighs much less in a FWD making the car weigh even LESS.

Look at rally racing around the time AWD was being introduce and cars moving away from 2wd. FWD lasted much longer then RWD in the higher classes. Citrion was running FWD competitively in the world rally championship up until mid season ~03ish....

But beyond any inherent traits of one drive train vs another, the idea that what makes a car handle well is a basic as what wheels push it is fucking rediculous and shows that your opinion is immediately worthless. The whole of what makes a car handle well goes so far beyond the drive train configuration it almost doesn't matter.

couldent sead it better my self Totaly agreed there :-)

You heard me a Ferrari sucks.

Italian cars are poorly made. They sound like shit. Most of them look shitty, I like one of them though, cant remember the name.
Most of the people in them are snobs with no taste.

Last weekend on PCH my dads 4 door Sedan fucked that thing HARD. Brand new too, the look on the guys face was priceless when he saw a E class smoke by him.

For the money, I'd get a CLK Black Series or something. Its a lot cheaper too.
Limited edition with a wide body kit. HAND ASSEMBLED German AMG 6.3 Liter engine.

For way over a hundred grand less I could build you a C6 with 700rwh Twin Turbo. 15 pounds of boost. Brembo brakes. 19'. 2 piece wheels. The whole fucking lot. Have it going 0-60 in 2.8 and still dominate and handle as good as any other car. The damn thing sounds like a jetski. Now thats a real engine.

So this is poorly made



This sounds like shit



And this looks like shit




And about the money argument, people who worry about money, don't buy a Ferrari, or any other Euro Exotica. People who buy Ferraris, buy so because they look fucking beautiful (most of the time), and make you feel amazing.

People who own Ferraris wouldn't (i imagine) have to worry about money.


And another thing, can the US car folk (this is a bit of a generalisation, sorry) stop banging on about  how good the new Corvette (C6) is.

I don't care, we have Aston Martin.

C6 Z06  =  What, $75k?
ZR1  =  $100ish?
Aston  =  $....?


Of course we love the car, as do many Europeans  -  It's an absolutely incredible steal for what it costs.

All Aston Martins look the same to me

I want an R34 Skyline GTR so bad. Or a Nissan Z
