**3kgtjunkie's Official Car Guy Thread**

[3kgtjunkie]

If you enjoy driving, racing, modifying or anythign else about cars, post in here. Intro with car and specs, no spoon pic needed as far as I'm concerned.
*NO FLAMING* *NO CALLING OUT* strictly car show and tell

Figured I'd post this here to keep the ignorant douche bags of the regular misc out.

Cool right on, I'm surprised their is not already a car thread.
Haha man there could be some massive flaming in this thread as it progresses!

Here's my ride.
An 08 Alloy 4.0 Mustang, 18" Polished Aluminum wheels, and tuned by Doug in Florida at Bamatunes via the handheld SCT XCal2 handheld tuner, with a CAI. The tuner is awesome, it allows access to all of the pertinent parameters for tweaking, shift timings, shift pressure, spark timing, idle rpms, air/fuel ratios, etc. I really didn't have the money for a GT when I picked this up last year, so I'll be trading it up for a GT next year. But either way I love it, plenty of torque and HP for my Daily Driver.
Currently putting down about 215rwhp., I'll be putting on the Powerhouse Pipeline Intercooled turbo, hopefully in the next 6 months or so. That should bump it up to about 350hp to the wheels.
Gonna end up being about $4,500.00, and it'll take me about 2 days to install it, taking my time of course...Wouldn't want to fck anything up installing the turbo, but I like to modify and work on my car myself. If I do install the turbo, I probably won't be upgrading to a GT, as the GT only gets about 270hp to the wheels, and I'll be getting around 350hp to the wheels. Also, the rods are forged and are better quality than those in the GT's.

Also plan on getting an Aluminum Driveshaft from Spider shafts, as well as the FRPP dual exhaust kit.

The shot was taken just after I had Washed, clay barred, and waxed it with Mother's SynWax, a synthetic wax. Synwax is a great wax for the hotter months, it's synthetic so it lasts much longer in the heat, and it leaves a great glass like reflection on the paint finish.

Hahah dude that is awesome!! No oil filter though? Why not? You're gonna end up getting alot of metal shavings in the pistons, and it may eventually cause the engine to seize.

200+ to the wheels is pretty good dude
havent changed the oil since we bought it. hell a new motor for that thing is 25 bucks at the junk yard. no worries.

Dude that is pretty cool, I wish I had a beater like that I could roll around in. But I live in faggot as$ California, and somethin like that would never be allowed around Cali...Plus we have all kinds of smog laws, and that makes it even worse.
In fact I'm ready to move out of Cali, just because of the stupid liberals and the laws they put in place regarding cars and firearms.
I hate California to like a disgusting level.

[3kgtjunkie]

yeah i got cousins that live there and they're kinda weird bout guns and cars. I've got quite a few friends in socal that i've met drivin 3000gt's. there are some pretty sick cars out on the west coast

[mike228]

heres my mustang it put doen 460 to the wheels at the beginning of last year and ive done a few things since then so it should be cloming up on 500 to the wheels. Plans for this year are 2tone paint and a cowl hood because the intake is rubbing

i heard in cali, you cant put longtube headers on a car because it moves the cats. im sure people do it anyway, but i mean, for emissions, you'd have to find a place to let it slip.

that 5.0 looks sexy as hell! nice car man. is that a Paxton supercharger i see?

[ihatemels]

how do u run a car without a oil filter without all the oil draining/shooting out? and how do u stop a car without her cutting off without a clutch?

Haha hell yea the good 'ol Foxbody. Weird that Ford went to that European boxy style in the 80's, I used to dislike them, but they've grown on me since I've since I've gotten my Mustang and respect all of them, big or small. I've never seen a Foxbody with Bullit wheels, that looks pretty damn mean.

Plus, Mustang owners tend to be very proud of their steeds, we keep 'em clean, polished, and powerful.

[mike228]

how'd you build that?

stock shortblock, canfields 195CC heads, custom grind cam, vortech A trim supercharger at 8 lbs, trick flow track heat intake manifold, etc. Im hoping by nexy year i have enough money saved up to put a dart block 347 in it and shoot for 700-750 at the wheels

Nice! If I keep my 4.0, I plan on putting a crate engine in it in 5-6 years, It should put down close to 550hp I believe with the 460, add some forced induction and even better, but I'll need to put a stronger tranny in it to handle that kind of power.

If I get a really good deal going and make like 10K in commissions in the next 6 months or so, I'll be putting the turbo in it, as well as ground cams...Some guys are getting 40hp+ with ground cams in the 4.0's.

Bump the vid to :50, a godly sound. That is what I'd like to do once It's time to replace the engine. That was a v6, and the guy replaced the engine with a Ford Racing 460, 550hp.

how much power do you think the VR4 is making. Ive been looking for a 1G talon TSi to get as a daily driver and fool alroud with that, ive always liked DSM's

[ihatemels]

mike228 do u drag race that car?

[mike228]

not yet, pretty much all last summer i worked on the car so this is the first year ill really have the chance to go with everything set up right. i live in buffalo so the car is only out of storage for about 5 months a year. I cant wait to go, im lucky theres a track about 20 min from my house so ill be up there pretty much every week

What do you think you'll get on the quarter mile? Low 11's or high 10's? If you take it, be sure to have someone film it so you can post the vid on youtube and then post it here.

Do you have any experience at the track? do you know how to launch properly? I've never been to the track, and probably never will, but I've read alot about proper launching.

[3kgtjunkie]

how do u run a car without a oil filter without all the oil draining/shooting out? and how do u stop a car without her cutting off without a clutch?

just turn the key. i have no idea how it works honestly. you sit in it, turn they key and the car turns on. we looked all over the motor for an oil filter and saw none. it's just one of those cars i guess.

The CAR should be a solid mid 11 car on drag radials, low 11's with a great driver and it could posible click off a 10.9 with jesus driving and by lightening it up a little bit, but the first few times out ill be lucky to get it in the 11's at all. I know alot of people who race and i know you cant just jump into it and expect to run great times

it has a oil filter, believe me.

donno where it is, but its never gonna get changed anyway so it doesn't really matter

launching is going to be the hardest part man. knowing how to slip that clutch without spinning tires too much is a tough groove to get into and on top of that when you go from 1st to 2nd you want to just mash her in there, but to get the best time you have to finesse it.
go to a couple of test and tune nights, you'll get it down in a few runs.

that's why you should come to the awd side of the track

Hey guys whatsup? 2002 RSX SC checking in. (yes i know pussy car, next one will be faster(what did I know at 15?))

Damn dude, you've had the same car since you were 15? That's pretty good at that age. I think in my first 5 or 6 years of driving I went through like 3 cars. The first one's engine seized, the second car was a brand new Tacoma in '98 and totaled it when some stupid teenage chick ran a stop sign and I slammed into her, then I got a CRX, sold it, blah blah blah

I have done quite a number on it. Within my first 5 times at the track I totally fried the clutch.

After I got the SC installed I literally exploded the diff at the track. Now i have quaife LSD and semi slicks so I'm all set.

[secondhandloser]

Sadly, no car for me right now, but I'll be back in the game as soon as finals are done. Keep the cars coming guys!
