very nice cars indeed... my bro has a 99 stock pearl white one..

just got a new headunit jvc and a 15" sub with a kenwood amp...

daily driver:

navy blue '01 chevy cavalier. yeah, yeah. it gets decent mileage and gets me from point a to point b. i've never taken any pics because they're everywhere. it's hard to have a cool looking cavalier :p

the fun one:

'68 dodge charger. i'll let the pic speak for itself.

i'd probably kill myself if anything ever happened to her :cry:

Here is my baby. My brother blew the engine so right now she isn't very happy. When she was running she was hitting about 350 HP. I switched out the cam, injectors, chip, exhaust, added a intake and also added headers.

I was looking at converting her to the euro spec by adding the intake with 6 throttle bodies off of a euro M3 but I didn't get that far. : sigh :

Just curious where you got your specs from. In your other thread you said it was a 3.5L. There is also no way that engine is pushing 280HP MAYBE 200, but not 280. Also 155MPH, I don't think so.

Nice car Frank. BMW M5's are very nice and resonable Cars, my Neighbour owned one and still does and when he can he and myself go into a Garage and buy as many parts as we can, and do it up to the maximum, its an amazing car and with the right modifications and engine tweaks it looks and works lovely, fiddling with the Gear change ratio's makes the car go a treat, until we blew the gear box, topping it in 3rd Gear. :rofl:

Its a nice car, and I think of the Motorway the most we have topped it to was 120mph, which is good for an English motorway due to all the Police around. :pinch:

Nice Car Chicane-UK, I had a red G60 Corrado till the engine went in it. I took the super charger off of it and put it on my 90 Jetta that was a fun car to drive, It was a lot lighter than the corrado.

Now I drive a Saab 900 Turbo from 86 it is my new project. No nicknames as of yet. But I am sure something will spring forth.

Right now I have new rims to replace the Steel wheels, I will probably end up changing the engine out to a 2.3 liter Turbo Charged engine. Alpine Stereo and Blaupunkt Speakers. Not sure what else will happen just take it a day at time.

The Car:

1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Factory turbo (mitsu t-25 @15psi)

painted black rims

CF hood

Black hoodpins (not pictured)

2.5inch to 3inch turbo back exhaust, no cat

k&n intake

Turbo XS H34 Blow Off Valve

ACT 2100 Clutch

Alpine Head Unit

Under Dash Interior Lights

Tinted Side markers

8 ball shift knob

modified pedals for heel-and-toe downshifts

Bragging Rights:

3rd Place Mitsubishi 2 door Trophy (Import Gen - Westchester - 2004)

Fastest 1/4 Run: 14.575 @ 94.090

known as "The Black GSX" in my area

beaten many a peice of rice on the street, as well as a few 5.0 mustangs

DSMs were only made in the US, technically making them domestic built cars... and if you look at it that way Camaros and TransAms are imports because they were only made in Canda... so I can say Imports suck and not be talking about my car  its never been on a boat!

and either this summer this thing is getting a new turbo (FP Green) or me and my dad are getting a camaro and building it into a street/strip car.

I hope they were stock "5 point slows" because there's no way with a half TBE, BOV, street clutch, and K&N you're going to win with that setup. DSM's, or turbo cars altogether, love a straight 3" back from the turbo. Atleast throw a 16G in that X... or up it to a 18G/20G :happy:

1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 6.4 14.9

1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX 6.4 14.9

actually, according to motortrend, it would be dead even, stock for stock (even though i could only dig up the test for the 1995, it was identicle to the 1997 except for the body kit on the car and the width of the head lights.)

and incase you didnt notice, i do have a turbo back, but there is only a 2.5inch downpipe from the turbo because with the t25 anything bigger would cause a lot of boost creep.

and im putting in an FP green... bigger than a 16g, or an 18g, and spools faster than a 20g even though the compressor wheel is the same size.

I love the new cars... But nothing can beat the Ol' america Muscle

1968 Chevy Camaro SS

Very, very nice E60. Did you get AT or MT?

585518788[/snapback]

thanks,

its a 545i with the 6 speed steptronic. I wanted the manual or even SMG, but this car was coming in with the options I wanted (sport package,premium package, preferred colours).. i couldnt wait another 4-6 months to custom order with manual.

the Fiat is a nice 4 speed manual, its great for booting around during the summer

i drive a 1992 toyota pickup with 205K miles on it

its a good little truck, but the only problem with it right now is that the starter is almost dead :( ...so now i have to bump start it everyday whenever i need to go somewhere. thats very embarassing after school and when i leave work. im thinking about getting that fixed pretty soon :laugh:

Oh well. 4-6 months is a long time just to get a manual transmission. I'd tell you "Enjoy your 545i" but I'm pretty sure you already are. :p

yup, definitely enjoying it! the steptronic really isnt all bad. it keeps its comfortable on some days, and when you want to push the car it does work great.

we've got 3 other cars in the family that are all manual, so its a good mix (gti vr6, cooper S, 325xi)

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
