i agree they look good, u can get kits 2 make em look just like a ferrari too :D but i've heard rumours that the engines like 2 catch fire and that there not too reliable so thats a down side, if u can get the engine rebuilt and running amazingly u might not have a problem with it but they do look really good :)

actually its not fiberglass. i personally like how there is no room i think thats sporty (i would only use it for a toy). why is the motor shitty? i have heard that the v6 is very unreliable, but i have heard pretty good things about the 4 banger. also i test drove the car and the torque was awesome. it for sure had more pep than a CRX SI. keep the opinions flowing!!!!!!!

catch fire!!!!! WHY???

Damned if I know, just something I heard thru ppl and other owners but never got a straight answer, i'm guessing fuel problems? i dunno maybe someone can clear it up cuz i'm kinda curious now

yea, i heard the same thing on them catching fire, other than that, i know nothing about them, other than you can get a kit to make them look just like a ferrari

hmmm... Is s/he okay? and how did they get to 100+ in a parking lot? That is a perfect demonstration of stupidity.

if they are dumb enough to buy a Z in the first place, that says it all right their

dont hate cause u cant afford one :flipa:

Personally I would go for a WRX .. cause its turboed, has some off roading capabilities, and is more of a practical car for me.

STI WRX would be better. 300 hp and 300 ft/lb of torque

its a Lancer Evolution 8, they are getting rid of the roman numerals to try and simplify it some. but yea, those are some bad ass cars, along with the WRX, Supra TT, Skyline, Silvia, and the list goes on.

Just saw the coors beer commercial on tv, that was an awesome song, Guys night out, anyone else see this one?

money sucks and i hate my job

So im chillin in my house http://www.illusiverides.com/forum/html/emoticons/comprage1.gif and all of a sudden I hear what sounds like someone spinnin em, so I go outside and its some old POS camaro, so I run inside and grab the camera, and I was able to catch the remnants

yea someone did that on the road in front of my house the other week, i wasn't really paying attention until after they were done and went out there, didn't catch any smoke, just 2 nice black marks. I have one burn out mark in an Arby's parking lot that is going to stay there until they redo their lot, dug into the asphault babie :frog:

The auto can actually break traction?

hell yea buddy..when it gets nice out, ill go take pics of them. Arent really dark, but dark enough to notice.

what did ya do? break torques or somethin? lol
or just use the E-brake, put it in Neutral and Pop into Drive? lol prolly screw ur tranny like that haha

Or just hold the gas and brake down at the same time, and when you are just about to hit the stall speed, let off the brake -- then your taking off at higher RPMs, so you're all good. Unfortunately, it heats up the A/T fluid, and leads to decreased fluid life.

So I went mountain biking today, had a lot of fun, click the link below for all the pics.

Here is the best one though, I cant believe I was actually able to get up and ride this log.

Had it in neutral, reved and poped it into drive..i know...i know, dont tell me, it will screw up my tranny, i know. But ill have to try that break and gas thing:D should have never told me

lol
just lookin out for ur car ;) hehe
if ur car has an e-brake u can use that too in drive and just mash the gas ;) hehe or rev it with normal brakes with the e-brake so when u take off the normal brake the back wheels r still locked hehe ;)

have fun and i wanna see pics hehe

Im still suprised you were able to light em up ... my friends 95 LX 4 door had an auto tranny and the only time we could get it goin was in the rain.

ha ha ha..you guys are just giving me more reason to spin my tires!

That looks like a sweet place to go mountain biking melt.

Thanks man, I found out about angwin about 1 1/2 years ago and go there or annadale in santa rosa most of the time. Dont go to skyline a whole lot because of the huge climb and most of the people I ride with hate it, but next time im not with them, I might go to skyline again.

lastnight we were at The Keg.... I walk outside and here I see a nice stock CRX Si! it looked Really Clean all over, it even had the stock Fogs. it was silver too. it looked really sweet. i musta stared at it for like 10 mins before my parents dragged me away hehe.
damn... i wish i had my digi with me :( but this was so SWEET! i loved it

tell me if this is a good deal....

Associate of mine is going to seel me his sohc zc (not sure of the miles) for $400…..to put it in, $900 including price of motor…..i only have to get an ecu and wiring harness…..does this sound like a good price??

Do you live near Niagra Falls? I went there on spring break this year and right across the street from the hotel we stayed at was a pretty nice restaurant called The Keg.....the steak there was great.

Actually No Its Not. Since You Dont Know The Mileage, Then Lets Assume YOu Plan On Taking Advantage Of The Engine Being Out Of The Car, And DO A Half Ass Over Haul (rings,bearings, water pump,oil pump,clutch,gaskets). i dont know if you have ever taken out an engine before, but its cake. why dont you overhaul it for an extra lets say 3-4 hundred, then put it in yourself for free. thats about 800 bucks, and the engine will be fresh and ready for another 200,000 miles. also taking out the engine, and rebuilding it is a learning experience, thats well worth the time and money. JUST A THOUGHT!!

also just to let you know the real expensive part of an overhaul, is the machine work (head,fly wheel,block,etc.) so if those are all in good shape just replace the list above. but if it does need machine work it might be best to just drive the thing till it cant drive no more. unfortunately i rebiult my 1.5l engine, just for a learing experience, hoping to spend no more than 500 , but that 500 turned into 1500, mostly because of the machine work.

let's put it like this....i know jack about taking uot an engine since i don't have any tools really......but i could just get the engine and do some work like u suggested....then put it back it.....i smell a learning experience brewing :help:

yea exactly i mean you can read all the books in the world about honda engines, but untill you dig into one you really dont know anything. i mean you have to start some where.

I prefer to get greasy and then look @ the book when I get confused of am unsure. I am however verry mechanicaly inclined, some people dont have that gift and would have to read the entire helms manual before taking off the valve cover (No joke, I know people like this)

see, i am very impatient when it comes to my car, so if i know i have the tools, the time, and the right parts, ill go ahead with it. And sometimes I think I know what im doing, but I actually dont have a clue in the world.

anyways, a while ago my email notification stopped working and I changed it to my school email addy and it worked again, but wouldnt let me change it back to my home addy, and my school email really sucks and is cumbersome to check all the time ... but now I decided to try that shit tonight and it worked so cha chinmg :D

why didn't you just go set up a free e-mail account? thats what i would have done, that way you can access anywhere

laziness my friend :smoker:

damn dude, if your schools e-mail was as bad as you say it is. It would have been alot easier. But if it was one of those things you just don't think of til later, thats cool, i do that sometimes.
