so I figured out where all the domestics went. their all in Canada! well at least the ones that are the same as mine.

this one kinda looks like a mustang if you look hard enough. and squint your eyes.

especially with the skinnies on the back wheels, it looks like the car is supposed to be going in reverse! i especially love the old like 80's toyota corollas tho that sound like absolute junk, especially when they launch from like 7 grand and go NOWHERE! and it cost a whopping 2 grand to complete the project hahaha

Ks2000gt 03-15-2007 07:53 AM

Hahaha the little rotary yugos or wahtever they are that they build and bring to the track and they bounce offa their 2 step and then take off and always end up breaking somewhere on the track :)

CAM93Z 03-15-2007 07:56 AM

always makes for some quality entertainment, and i love how they have like teams of 8 or 9 people acting like its a top fuel team or something..... they just need to give up

twistedlanes 03-15-2007 08:28 AM

some are okay I just don't like how sometimes they give the domestics no respect.

domestic lover in that house. whatd i miss?

twistedlanes 03-15-2007 08:43 AM

just that we have been wondering where all the domestics have gone. It seems like the streets are infested with imports. No problems with them but I know I'm gettin a little lonely Lol

Snatchback 03-15-2007 08:51 AM

i dont mind it, cuz no one else can copy my style if they dont have my car ;)

im painting my calipers pink this weekend btw :D

Ks2000gt 03-15-2007 09:37 AM

You know.... look how cheap u can get hondas and how much u can do with them. U can swap a stock motor from a newer car into an older car, pay half as much for it than if you were doing a crate motor swap in a domestic, and still move pretty well. Alot of it is about the cost..... and that damn Fast & Furious movie... just bc u do your eclipse up green like the movie doesnt make it fast lolol

twistedlanes 03-15-2007 09:42 AM

twistedlanes 03-15-2007 01:52 PM

liar^^^

twistedlanes 03-15-2007 01:52 PM

you'd paint it pink and ride around with hot girls and be a tease.

Snatchback 03-15-2007 01:52 PM

stop calling me out on my BS :(

twistedlanes 03-15-2007 01:54 PM

ok whatever. I'll stop talkin bout da big girl.

so umm any other plans for any of your cars?

Snatchback 03-15-2007 02:06 PM

lol i was talking about painting my car pink.

this is in no particular order:

tint (this weekend)
pink calipers (as soon as i get the kit in)
cosworth sri
borla exhaust
eibach sportlines (2 inch drop front, 2.2 drop rear)
svt rims (looking for a used set if anyone sees any)
short shifter
blacked out tailights (this weekend)
debadge (this weekend)
either halos or HIDs (but they dont make a kit for my car yet. its an 07)


not come until later:
header
cams
turbo
body kit

yeah and all the little things. i dunno. you know the drill, sargeant.

Ronin Tactical 03-15-2007 02:15 PM

Focus SVT wheels...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...QQcmdZViewItem

Personally, I'd look at Discount Tire Direct or the tire Rack, instead of putting an OEM style wheel on the car. Anyone can get OEM wheels...truly personalize with something that other people don't have...

Snatchback 03-15-2007 02:33 PM

well, the svt rims arent too heavy and i was thinking of powdercoating them.

if i dont go with svt rims, ill be getting gunmetal 5 stars with a chrome lip.

twistedlanes 03-15-2007 02:36 PM

yeah gunmetal 5stars with a chrome lip and why did we change our sn

Snatchback 03-15-2007 02:40 PM

what are you talking about changin sn?
