Modified cars....

[DanYul2k6]

whos into there caras then.... the best bit about my car si the soudn system, i also got sum 17'' chromes and an exaust, been lowered, im not bothering with the kit yet! but my boot build is astronominous (spell)

i got 2 12" woofers, a 10" woofer, (mtx audio) a 4000 watt amp, and a 2 500 watt amps, 2 sets of 6x9,s four sets of components and a fibre glass install ... it dnt half pump my bass, but thats how i like it,

what does any one else have if u drive?

[babelfish42]

I'm buying a mini for £400 because I couldn't care less what my car looks like: if it gets me from A to B I'm happy. And you can fit at least 3 bikes and several fishing rods in a mini, so I'm happy. I'd rather save my money, and spend it later, or put it in my ultra high interest account.

[on.training.wheels]

ricer!

[lowcar100]

that stereo is pretty much overkill lol... but w/e floats your boat.

I like lifted vehicles, things that can actually get over what you need them to.

[fairtrade]

Ah.. I got 1 49x53 twin pull dual fuel intercooler with 95.5 nitrous exhaust injection, some 35" chrome spinnaz with 1.0s and 5.3hp gas extractor. Someone tell me what the hell is going on.

[Eastern_Rider16]

Yeah, i am 14. I like to look at "Modified Cars." I hate cars with body kits, humongo spoilers/wings or useless exhuast. Some cars look nice with body kits. But i would prefer a stock looking car with all the money "Under the hood"

[soad]

its all about the muscle baby! i got a 78 mustang II King Cobra w/ a 93 cobra HO 302 with has new rods, cams and lifters. Muncie 5 speed tranny, hurst shifter, 4.10 rear end, no nitrous, bottles are for babies. i want a supercharger, though im not sure if you can have one of those for a FI.

i'd take a 1970 Boss 429 super Cobra Jet over anything. well, maybe a 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie with the 427. tough choice.

wow man from what i have read you system my sound like complete arse. where do i start.... first off 2 12s and a 10 inch sub you must be running into major cancallation issues. there is absoluty no reason what so ever to run multiple size subs. now we get into your mtx "4,000 watt" amp. for you to actually be running that much power you would need massive electrical upgrades. for starters you would need atleast a 250amp alt and anywhere from 2-4 car batteries. from the sounds of it you have neither so i call bs on this. what model number is the amp??? you have (2) sets which means 4 6x9s and on top of that you have 4 sets of components 2 0r 3-way?? im gonna assume 2-way, how in the hell did you wire it??? ive been into car audio well over 5 years and this system is by far the worst set-up ive ever read about. i call BS and your trying to pass off this "crazy system" to people that may not know about car audio that much OR this really is what you have and in that case i feel real bad for you car im sure you wireing/electrial system is waaaaaaay below what you need and would most likely start a fire. if you actually have all this crap sell it then come talk to me ill design a system that uses only 1000 watts 1 sub and just 1 set of 3-ways componets that would get waaaaaay louder and sounder 10 times better then what you might have right now.

[fairtrade]

I think this is his car right about now...

[atownbiker]

i ride a gt w. haro frame 48spoke rims - a buncha other stuff.

thats how i roll

[Flatline]

Same Here Soad, I'll all about the American Muscle. There is no replacement for displacement and that is exactly the thinking of a Muscle Car Era.

1969 Dodge Charger R/T Black, with a 8-71 Weiand Blower on top of a 502ci Big Block Chevy with forged pistons, rods, crank. Hydralic Camshaft. I'm talking about 600 HP and 655 ft/lbs of torque. EASY.

[oldstreetthrasher]

Why the hell would you ruin a Charger with a Chevy motor? I'm a Chevy guy and even I would never do that. I'd put together a Mopar performance 528 Hemi with custom 8.5 to 1 pistons in it, then fabricate custom brackets to mount am ATI Procharger F3 centrifugal blower with an intercooler. Easy 1300-1500 HP on pump gas. Speaking of no replacement for displacement, my friends old motor was nuts. All aluminum Big Block Chevy, 707 cubic inches. Sheet metal intake with 2 1350 CFM Pro Systems dominator carbs and 3 stages of Nitrous. 2400 HP. And I know, it's not exactly street legal. Ran 7.00 @ 198mph in the 1/4 mile though. Never could hit the third stage though... never got the bugs worked out of the car.

[greenbeast469]

What happened to it?

[rideohio]

I plan on buying a toyota tacoma if i have the cash this summer. if not then just a jeep. maaaybe next fall/winter i might put some money into the stereo if the car is running well and is nice and clean, but that would be just to improve the quality, not make it louder.

[Ethix]

ricer!

haha. Nice 240 in your avatar.


I'm a big fan of modified cars of all kinds, (from 'Cudas to Miatas) but the whole "No replacement for displacement" phrase is actually a false one. There are tons of small displacement cars with 600hp out there.

Then again, I have no interest in drag racing, so I could care less about having huge hp. I want a car that can go fast around corners AND in straight lines. It's all about power to weight ratio, weight distribution, braking, and traction really.

you mean why ruin the chevy motor by putting it in the charger? hahah. im a chevy guy.. my cousin has a 1963 Split window vette that does 7.55 in a quatermile.. 8) its the bees knees.. lol im going to eventually have a 68 chevelle that will go 9's hopefully.. maybe faster..

[Eastern_Rider16]

I like the color of his 240. Looks nice. Hopefully he has more done to the 240 than the exhuast. i would take it. If i could have a car it would definatly be a Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
Since everyone is saying fast cars in there family my uncle owns a 1985 Twin Turbo Supra. He never brings it out but when he does he is gonna have to race someone.

Ha my bro has a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX that stock for stock could beat any Sti, and the Sti still costs more. Yeah I'm into modified cars, but I'm only 15. For a first car I'm looking at Eclipse gsx's.

[soad]

anything you do to your 2.0L I-4, i can do to my 5.7 V8, so the whole no replacement for dispalcement hold alot of truf.

True, but my point is that displacement alone means very little. It's what's done to the engine that makes the difference. This has been proven many times in motorsports (though maybe not so much in drag-racing which sucks anyway).

Funny you talk about V-8's because just the other night I was with my brother in his Evo when he wasted the shit out of a Trans Am with none other than a V-8 in it, and I mean he wasted it. Every time that boost kicked in we just pulled more and more, and by the end we were going 145 or so and we looked back and we could barely see his headlights. When we asked him he said he was trying the whole time. The 4 cylinder prevailed.

[Haro_Revo]

(ignore this i messed it up and it wouldn't let me delete it.)

[soad]

funny you should mention boost, what with turbos and all being on that evo, and to turbo or any forced induction on that trans am. also, look at the quality of the evo versus the quality of the trans am, the evo clearly has better components. bottom line: anything you do to a smaller displacement engine can be done to a larger displacement engine. EXAMPLE: stock 93 cobra(5.0) hp=235.
stock 2005 honda civic (2.0) hp=160.

if you add any thing that boosts performance to the 2.0, and add the same thing to the 5.0, the difference in power is going to still be the same.

[dirkadirka]

dude mtx sucks balls, JL AUDIO is the shit!!!!!!!!!

[Ethix]

if you add any thing that boosts performance to the 2.0, and add the same thing to the 5.0, the difference in power is going to still be the same.


And a 1.8l civic hatch with 300hp vs. a 5.0 Mustang with 500hp....They would be neck and neck on a road track. Power to weight ratios are key.



-Mark

[soad]

yeah, but im talknig about without all those variables.

[Ethix]

yeah, but im talknig about without all those variables.


What variables? All I'm saying is that if you double the HP of the mustang and double the HP of the civic, the performance is still close on a track. I won't deny that for pure HP, the 5.0 will ultimately put out more, but HP isn't the end-all-be-all in motorsports.


My dream "modified car" is still an FD3S rx7 with an LS1 engine swap. You get the best of both worlds - Awesome light-weight chassis with great weight distribution and a powerful engine. All you would need is a few bolt-on performance mods and you'd smoke pretty much anything....anywhere.

u having a laff m8, that in the uk wud run ya insurance bill to the ****nig moon! :o

what does any one else have if u drive?

*drools* i envy u
how do u pay for it all? 8O
and to the guy that called it overkill, i dont think so. i luv it when someone drives their car right up to the edge of the sk8park and blasts music with giant woofers, it really gets u pumped and i rekon u ride better. o and the chiks dig it

o and i dont think its possible to take a bad foto of a enzo :wink:

[babelfish42]

You guys wont be too happy when the world oil reserves run out, will you? lol

[41thermal]

I think this is his car right about now...

honda prelude!

[Lukey]

whats the RMS of your amps DanYul2k6? Cause they blatently don't run anywhere near 4000 + 2500 watts, or your alternator would have to be bigger than your engine. and don't give me any of that 'I've got a power cap' bollocks please.

And also, whats the rms of your speakers.

This is the sub I've got in my car...



its a 15, and runs at a true 800W rms, although I never run it anywhere near full power, as its just unconfortable.

take a look here (http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=W15GTI/230&cat=SUB&ser=GTI)

[DanYul2k6]

lol i was chatting bollax i know, just got boared, but i know sum dood who owns a nissan with 4 subs in, evolution sumfink there called, dno how many amps, but its a 10k install, and apprentyl the componenets speakers and amps work at 100%, soo if they get turned up and kept getting turned up there wnt blow, fuzz or n e thing, until it hits the volume limit... rekno thats true?

ya i beat a friend with a V8 just the other day. with my Corolla, they kick ass.

[ardenk]

yeah man i got to get me one of those. i hear they are better at off roadin then jeeps

[Meggers]

lmao, not better. if u got skills u can keep up with them though, haha... im gonna get a lift, what do u know about that!

6 inch ought to give you some height, im gonna go for like a 10 with some big ass 36ers when i get mine

Sorry to say but if you beat a V-8 with a Corolla either he wasn't trying, or your car is heavily modded. I'm betting he just wasn't trying. If you actually did beat this "V-8" what kind of car was it?

sorry to say but ur dumb, he was trying. and ya my Corolla isn't heavily modded, but it isn't stock. i was racing a a Ford Crown Vic.

[Zero Cool]

Dude a stock Corrolla would get PWN3D by my dad's V-8 Tundra :lol:

Anyone here ever seen a 1991 BMW 318is? Hehehehe they are super small, and make good cars to take on a track.

Oh speaking of fast cars that are still stock... Nissan Maximas are FAST, BMX 7 series, BMW M-5...has a V-10, the Toyota Avalons are also very fast stock.

Who knows... maybe he really did beat him.

film it next time like tomorrow :D

It's all power to weight ratio. Notice streetbikes will beat a large majority of cars out there and they have 2 cylinders (last I heard)

[Haro_Revo]

A crown vic is another story. With the right mods I could see it happening. If you tried against any decent car with a V-8 though you would get killed.

[soad]

motorcycles have 4 cylinders(sportbikes) cruisers and alot of tourers, and naked bikes have V-twins.

[Meggers]

yo, u don't even know what's goin on with the Rolla. bring ur v8, ill beat it
