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)

    • Salesforce to acquire Fin, formerly Intercom, for over $3 billion by David Uzondu Image via DepositPhotos.com Salesforce today announced that it has reached an agreement with customer support software company Fin to buy the company for around $3.6 billion. Salesforce expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2027, and the acquisition will not change its financial guidance previously announced on May 27. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, in its press release, claimed that acquiring the startup gives Salesforce an immediate AI agent that resolves support tickets across email, WhatsApp, SMS, and Slack: You might know Fin by its former name, Intercom. If you have ever been on a website or inside a mobile app and noticed a little chat bubble widget floating in the bottom right corner of your screen, often featuring a friendly face and a message like, "Hi! How can we help you today?" you were almost certainly looking at Intercom. Intercom became Fin just last month, transforming itself into an "AI-first" platform that handles customer issues with little need for humans to intervene. The new name originates from the company's highly successful AI customer service agent, which it launched way back in 2023. This digital assistant supposedly resolves about 76% of customer service volume end-to-end on its own, so the business rebranded to match its primary software tool. Fin's new owners, Salesforce, went on an acquisition spree over the last few years, and some of them you might recognize, like its 2020 $27.7 Billion acquisition of Slack. The last few months saw the enterprise giant buy several startups, including m3ter, Momentum, Cimulate, and Contentful. Salesforce said that when the Fin deal pulls through, customers will "deploy AI agents across" various service operations, which will complement Agentforce, the platform that enables businesses to deploy customizable autonomous digital workers.
    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.
