Let's Let Loose

[konkman]

Chattin on 240's is awesome, but I think we need a break even from that, so if you love a car, or want to comment on stuff like AWD, fwd, or anything else lets go nuts.

I can't believe I miss spelled must on the title, I'm such an idiot!

I'll start this off, I think the s4 is the sexiest little sedan I've seen in a while, 250hp awd, bi turbo, ooh baby.

[konkman]

Actually no,

If I could get any car, the Skyline GT-R R-34 v-spec is the one.

I would live in that thing.

[ca18guy]

Well incase anyone wondered why i don't mod my car to ####, it's because I been saving large amounts of money to buy my dream car, a nicely taken care of 90+ 300zx. Thats the car i want and the car i will get <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[konkman]

R U looking for a TT or N/A???

[BlankFlip]

i'd second that one, i'd give up everything for that Skyline. every night i dream about the day i will get to own that car. i will have a Skyline GT-R one day, one day...

[konkman]

In my dream it is a new red skyline, what colour would you go for???

[ca18guy]

Well if where talking in imaginary terms, I'll list my dream garage... (there would be cars added to this cause in my dream world i would have endless money)

1 &nbsp;1994 Nissan 300ZXTT Stage: as high as it go's <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
2 &nbsp;2000 Nissan Skyline GT-R Stage: too high to list!!!
3 &nbsp;1971 Datsun 240Z with RB26DETT engine.
4 &nbsp;1985 Nissan &nbsp;300ZXT Stage:modded to ####
5 &nbsp;1991 Nissan &nbsp;240SX with ca18det modded to 300 HP

Geez think I like Nissan? All would rotate as my daily driver's <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;I would probably break out an exotic to, probably a ferrari.

[vancouvers14]

does the skyline even come in red? &nbsp;i think burgundy is the closest.

as for dream cars, i'll take a conv. tommykaira zz.
not a big fan of sedans. &nbsp;i dont see the point. &nbsp;when i have kids, i'm not gonna race around, so i'll take a really luxurious car over a fast one. &nbsp;besides, at some point, my kids will be driving, and i wouldn't want them driving anything over 50hp

You joking? I would only get a TT. I HATE buying the lowest performance model of a car.

Yeah it comes in red, I saw a red one on the road a while ago <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[konkman]

If I could afford a skyline, and it didn't come in red I would take her to the best paint shop in Canada and have the redest of the cherry reds painted on her.

Then I would go to motorex and have them make me a blackbird engine for her.

[bing]

word up konkman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

the S4 rules,

i bought my 240 in march of this year, but i was set on a 1990 red eagle talon tsi, it was owned by my elementary school principle and while it did have 190k, the garage that was now selling it was putting a brand new turbo on and had just done the timing, the car also had a after market sunroof and a viper alarm.

i think that after a few years when i've done some tasteful mods to my 240 i will give it to my younger brother and either purchase a 1994 talon tsi ( before the model change, i like those better) or go a little further and purchase a 1997-2000 audi a4 1.8t quattro.

the tsi's have 195hp stock and all whell drive, i read up a little and they are supposedly one of the best used cars you can buy, and the timing is the only problem and since it is a belt it aint as expensive as the chain i just replaced on my 240......

Audi's rock, i have a large selection of information on the 1.8t, just to give you an idea off how good the engine is, it is in every VW and the A4, from the bug on up.

165hp stock in the A4 and a simple ecu upgrade can boost it up to 30hp alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nutty.

add to the AWD some suspension work and you dont need anything else and it is just plain sweet, 5-spd, leather, bose sound, all power, and they go forever.......................

sorry for the length but i agree we need to broaden the boundaries of chat here

[konkman]

Yes, Canada does rule!!!

[BlankFlip]

i'd go w/ the skyline blue, i love that color. i'd also want to get a evolution 5, pulsar gti-r (from japan), S13 and S14 Silvia K's modified as far as they can go, nothing any fancier than those cars though.

[my240likenoother]

i think that i would get a 1994 911 T with the big wing
with a 100 shot of NOS to f*ck with it a little more

[S13Grl]

Skyline GT-R/R-34
I wouldn't mind a WRX or an Audi S4. I also wouldn't mind having a 12-second 240. Ahh...

[groundzero]

Cars Im dying to have:
Skyline GT-R/R-34
Acura Nsx
Dodge Viper
Lamborgini Diablo...did I spell that right...

[bing]

not that i dont want a skyline but i would take a porsche 996 turbo, gt1, or any other turbo porsche, any ferrari, lotus,

M3, Z8, or any BMW slammed out over 400hp which is very possible i might add.

besides, when the skyline comes to north america every rich kid who slammed a civic, prelude, accord, or domestic pos is gonna want one because they will finally realize that Nissan is good, honda is for your mom. then the skyline will lose some appeal, i think its awesome partly because no one has one, if they were around all the time i wouldnt want one as bad

[BlankFlip]

when i was in japan, the gt-r's were still pretty rare so i don't think i'd mind if they were in the states. i just hope that when the ppl that overlooked nissan's before c the skyline that they don't start wanting to buy 240's n other nissan's. i like having my own unique car.

[Zexel]

1) &nbsp;2001 Ferrari Maranello 550....those thigns are so dope. &nbsp;Black w/ Tan leather interior.
2) &nbsp;1995 300 ZX TT
3) &nbsp;Skyline R-34 - GTR
4) &nbsp;1969 Mustang GT 500...like off of Gone in 60 Sec...all I can say is...DAAAAAAMN!!
5) &nbsp;Last but not least, 1998 Supra TT...sorry it's a Supra, and Toyota is Nissan competition most of the time, but you can't tell me you wouldnt' take one!!!!

that's my wish list, someday, yes, someday, I will own these cars.

[BlankFlip]

even though i want some other cars, i'd be perfectly happy if my 240SX was hooked up to its limits. that would be all i'd need.

[groundzero]

Im with you Blankflip...If I can make my car into a running machine...I would drive until the wheels turn bald. ahah.

[konkman]

I'm with you guys.

Another ride that makes me drool are the new BMW M3's. &nbsp;Something about a 360hp N/A inline six. &nbsp;

The amount of techy features in that thing is increadable.

[burgy240]

in no order, &nbsp; Ferrari 355 f1 Berlinetta, Diablo VT roadster, Ford GT40, Ferrari P3-330, and a right hand drive Skyline GTR. &nbsp; of course the skyline is only rt drive right now but in the future it won't be and I'd still want the rt hand drive.

[LanceS13]

I got a pretty long list of dream cars...and guess what's on top <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
-BMW M3 (333hp, not 360hp) with a supercharger
-Nissan 180SX Type X
-Honda S2000 or BMW Z3 M Roadster
-1970 Chevy Chevelle SS 454
-1969 Chevy Camaro SS/RS
-Nissan Skyline R-34 GT-R
-Porsche 911 GT3
-Lotus Elise 190
-Nissan Silvia S15
-C5 Corvette Z06
-Toyota Supra TT
-'93 Mazda RX-7 Turbo
-Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. VI
-Subaru WRX STi
-Mercedes CLK
-Datsun 240Z with blown 350 V8 transplant
-'00 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 (yeah, I know) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I guess that'll about wrap it up. :biggrin: &nbsp;There is a bit of a Chevy bias in there b/c those are the cars, especially the two muscle cars, that first got me hooked on cars in general. &nbsp;And the Tahoe...well, that's my trailor-queen hauler slash off-road excursioner.:)

porsche gt3 or awd tt

[DSC]

My dream car for the past few years, since i was like 13 or 14 (I'm 17now) and hooked on speedvision, has been the BMW M3. &nbsp;I just love that car, the coupe not 4 door. &nbsp;Thats the car I always use in Sports Car GT (kinda an old game, from 99). &nbsp;I also like the supra, skyline, viper, and some others that are really nice but someday I WILL own an M3 coupe.

[Archangel]

I'd love to have a totally moded late model supra. &nbsp;I love the look of those cars and the targa top would be great in the summer.
Any lamborgini or ferrari would be fine with me.
Buut, given the choice I'd take a lamborgini countach. (YEAH RIGHT !! &nbsp;That'll be the day, when someone gives me a choice of a ferrari or a lamborgini !) &nbsp;

Also on the list: &nbsp;Old 50's or 60's Ford Mustang (I don't care too much for fords, but I love the look of old mustangs - &nbsp;think Gone in 60 Seconds.)

Just FYI if you care. &nbsp;Mustangs weren't made in the 50's. &nbsp;Production started in '64 or '65...can't remember exactly.

[DSC]

64 1/2 was the offical start of production. I have been in love with mustangs since I was little, and then I test drove one...:(

[IceTekGuy]

2001 Silvia
2000 Skyline Gt-R V-Spec
1996 TT 300ZX
2001 BMW M5
1995 Eagle Talon TSI (for driving my trash cans to the curb and then back)
1990 Eagle Talon TSI (for a winter beater, slamming into snow banks at full boost, doin 360's in the middle of the road, then at the end of the last snowfall, or in feb, whicheverone comes first, leaving it in the middle of a main road for the plow to take car of <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> )

eagle talons are a waste of time and money, 2 of my friends have them, one a 95, the other a 90, the 95 shit the tranny, and god knows what else, and the 90 leaks sooo much oil, the oil pan is constantly clean cause its all new oil... lol
and all the main seals are shot, which causes the black pools in front of my house, ohh yea the power steering leaks out all the fluid within 2 hours, from a full cylinder of fluid...
both of these cars have been owned by my friends for less than a year... a good used car huh..? hehe

ohh yea, and i want a 1996 Chevy Lumina Mini-Van, to mack all the girlies... haha

[misnomer]

Mustang Shelby GT is my dream car.

'side from that, I wouldn't mind a 90+ TT Z car. . .

That's about it

[ZeroGS14]

mm dream car is defintely a Ferrari...but even with engineer pay..thats a dream if i wanna buy a house...so probably skyline r33 gt-r for me =D

[Grant]

McLaren F1

[dave2u]

whats this &quot;lets let loose&quot; &nbsp;YEEEEEEAH WOOHOO lets all strip naked and dance on car rooves in the street WOOHOO YEEHA &nbsp;Shake yer pants in the air YEEHA............err...whats this?......talk cars again... &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
.....what no stripping naked?....no &nbsp;pouring JackDaniels down the phone line to one another?.....ah..F*CK!

I`m going to keep my s14a for about 4 years because its only done 18,000miles then i`m going to try and get a Supra. A &nbsp;bloody fast one. But it has to be only a few years old. &nbsp;Dont need it fallin apart on me like a Z or something thats getting old now. Do they still make Supras? &nbsp;If not what year did they stop? &nbsp;I was thinking Lancer EVO too but after the luxury of my s14a (in and out) and that skyliney very JAP look i dont know if i want a small Lancer type shape car. I still cant believe the attention my car gets (. You wouldnt believe me honestly. ) I`d need a cracking spoiler and no stickers on it and lowered and the most spectacular alloys on it &nbsp;( sh*t i`ve just realized my 18inch MAKSPIRIT fit Lancers and Imprezas i think. &nbsp;Thats why i got them. Guy in shop said these would defo fit over the huge SX front calipers cos they are off Lancers and Imprezas which have huge rally front calipers. So i could put my 18`s on a Lancer mmmmm LANCER EVO) Wadya all think of the Supra?

[vancouvers14]

dave, do you ever write less than 5 lines? &nbsp;supras stopped in 98? &nbsp; i love em. &nbsp;so much potential, but it would be tough to spend 40K on a car, and then build it up.

[ca18guy]

supra's are still made in Japan right. well most of the japanese sports cars in england (where dave is) are imported through importers from japan so he can get any year Supra he wants <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

mmmm My dream garage would be a little crazy and common:
- Skyline GTR R34 V-Spec
- Skyline GTT R34 (The luxury sedan)
- Nismo R33 GTS-T
- Silvia S15
- Mitsubishi 3000gt spyder
- Mitsubishi Lancer evo VII for winter <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
- TRD 2000gt MR2
- TRD 3000gt Supra
- and of course, the sileighty and the ae86

And how did I forget the rx7?
of course I will take 2, one FC and one 20B FD with a mazda speed body kit

[240sxnewbie]

A 1987 Grey chevy nova. no no...a puke green Yugo..hahah seriously:

A vector. I don't even know if they actually make this car though..all i know is, i saw a picture of it and i was drooling....and since i'm still dreaming, a Twin turbo supra, a NSX and a RX-7. &nbsp;

[Gold240se]

I'd get a Buggati EB-110, the effing thing has 4 turbos!(If I'm not mistaken) Can't drive it in the states though, not like any one could catch you to tell you otherwise. &nbsp;Or I would get the new Aston Vanquish. &nbsp;Something about Astons that always interested me.

[ca18guy]

Yeah the thing has 4 turbo's and like 1000 HP but it's BUTT UGLY..ehhhh. You would'nt date a ugly chick because she's a good lay, so why would you drive a ugly car just because it's fast? Unless your into ugly chicks <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[vancouvers14]

hey, i've driven a yugo. &nbsp;wasn't that bad. &nbsp;lotta cars that are worse. &nbsp;the vector does exist, but only a handful. &nbsp;There's maybe 20 or 30 of the W8 (is that what the first one was called?) and less than 10 of the WX3. &nbsp;dont quote me though.

[bing]

i used to check the archives at speedvision.com at my last job and i dont know if you guys heard but the dude who owns, VW, Audi, Bentley, seat, skoda, and about 12 other car companies in europe has some crazy plans

im sure you all have heard about the W12 engine which is 2 VR6 engines mated on a common crankcase, does 450hp+ easy and they also have a W18 which is either 3 VR6's or two mated 8 cylinders, i forget which, but any way the W12 car has a windshiled that starts where it normally does but doesnt stop at the roof, it goes all the way back for a crazy open air feel, no need for a sunroof, and 450hp and AWD, i believe it had lambo style doors as well,

[LanceS13]

If it's a W18, it would have to be 3 6cyl. b/c 2 8cyl. would make a W16. But wouldn't a W18 be more appropriately called a VVV18? Or maybe a &gt;V&lt;18? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[konkman]

How about V cubed 18. &nbsp;That is going to have to be one #### of a stretch hood.

[LanceS13]

or a Circle 48 Octa-Turbo :biggrin:

[konkman]

Or I'm a fucking idiot, welding 2 average engines together for fun, no, no, no, make that 3 average engines. &nbsp;

Maybe he'll try to mate a mouse and an elephant.

Dood, I own an '97 maroon Chevy nova. . . Looks like shit, drives like oatmeal, but it still drives after 270,000 miles. That's something that impresses me much.

[konkman]

I have that beat. &nbsp;My friend has a 1981 Volvo GT (original). &nbsp;It currently is running 458,000miles. &nbsp;Original engine. &nbsp;Still a peppy little peice of shit.

[konkman]

What the ####, were talking about the lowest, crappiest pieces of shit in the dream car section.

Man you know what would be classic. &nbsp;Fixing up an old Datsun 510 to showroom condition, adding a few mods, and a nice paint job. &nbsp;Unique and classically stylish, IMO.
