kronic Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Just starting driving. Might be buying my mates 1972 VW Beetle. Then hopfully making it look like a Beetle GTV (but not run like one, insurance is ridiculous) Basically this : http://www.1302super.com/72gtv_l_side.jpg but in black. Or if i can fund insurance costs, a VW Golf MK.II.. or even a MK.I *droools* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M1911A2 guy Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Thank you; I can't wait to get my hands on the 2006 R-1s! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I am hoping to buy one of the '05 Buell Firebolt XBR12s. Should be able to afford one by the time I turn 18. I mean, look at the thing: Its beautiful, and fast to boot. Comparable to a Ducatti in the looks department, if not in other places.

BTW. VW golf’s are sweet! do you guys get the same ones as we do in the U.S.?? show pics! my advice is, what ever kind of car you get, get it in stick. it is a little hard to learn on, but it is a blast to drive once you master it.

Someone who wears track suits etc. Kinda like you're ghetto definition, just white kids who cause trouble and give younger kids a bad name. (I'm not a chav, however the VW Golf is a chavy car.. meh) Here's what google says: http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=fire...G=Google+Search Yea that's the Golf MK.4 they're quite nice. Nicer than the MK.3. I like the old school look of the 2 & 3 though. My dad might be getting a MK.5, they're awesome, but more for older people rather than younger drivers. http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~havarha/mv2003/pr...ages/mk5_rc.jpg Yes i am a golf nerd Kinda put off by cars at the mo though, as my cat killed by one last night Edited September 15, 2005 by kronic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not much But I'm going to upgrade some small stuff as soon as the warranty Dries out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If ur refering to my car its a toyota celica current set up is a 5sfte 2.2l turbo running about 8 psi. For u UK ppl thats umm a lill over .5 bar. Im also running aem UEGO system, APEXi SAFCII, HKS bov, anodized intercooler, MSD BTM system, 445cc injectors, 255lph walbro fuel pump, and some other odds and ends. The turbo was put on this year and ive been boostin happy ever since. Lots of research and lot of work. (yes i did install everthing myself) Est. power to the wheels should be at or a lil over 200. considering the car is only 2600lbs TOPS its got an ok power to weight ratio. Will pull on most hondas. With some tuning and engine work im looking at the low/mid 11's on the quarter. (hopfully/when i get more money lol) I may actually do a 3sge vvti beams engine swap but not sure. that motor runs 210 hp stock, and its all motor.

Dude that looks awesome Will use actually use it off road, or do ya just like modding it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wood Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 thanks kronic......I've actually been wheelin' the Jeep since i bought it bone stock 5 years ago...and it gets wheel'd hard. This is about the 6th time it's been lifted....just progressively building it up as funds are available....kinda like airsoft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kronic Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Mind me asking how much the rough cost of that'd be? Also is insurance as high in the US as it is in the UK? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
