Post Pics of your Ride and selves. Pt. 2

Well the last one of these ended back in 2006 and i know a lot of peoples cars and selves have changed.

So i'll go first for 2008. I'm Cody, and i've been on here waaay to long.

Moi polishing some shit, you need good respirator for this type of work

I was the orginator...

that's my story and I'm sickin' to it :)

oh I'm Derk btw
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/2362000-2362999/2362121_87_full.jpg

Derk's car was my inspiration :D

I had an inspiration, Then i was being harassed about it and copying him even tho he sold his car to someone else. Now, officially today I am taking it a step further and separating mine and his car once and for all and going above and beyond his build.....hehee... I am just going to leave it at that for you guys. It requires welding in the engine bay now.

Beautiful Cars.

My names Kris. Im probably the newest person to these forums but i love the help, kudos to everyone. I turned 16 in october, took out a 3600 dollar loan in late october, and took that loan along with the 2 grand in the bank and bought myself this piece of heaven

Nearly 3 weeks after i got it, i decided to play =P

For some odd reason, The stupid popin' my collar song is stuck in my head.
;) .. Just pokin fun at ya bro. No harm intended. I go to college at a school where all the long islanders come here and you can pick them out by their pop'd collars and looking like the guy from the youtube video ' My new hair cut '.

Not everyone has all the same automotive knowhow at the same time. I didn't know jack when i was 16. My ex's g/f dad helped me with my first break job, then i lowered my car on my own.... and now at 21.5 yrs old i am doing full out motor swaps which require the whole car being torn down to the shell, fabbing turbo manifolds, and learning out to tig and mig weld. I have to learn this becuase my new mod requires it. Muhahaha.

Lookin good everyone! I mean that in a non-homosexual manner of course.

HA HA... i never pop my collar but i was messing with my new phone and did it. lol

but anyways, when i first came on here i had just turned 16 and had my cavy for a few months and knew almost nothing about them, im almost 18 now and have leaned a crap load since then mainly from being on here. almost everything i have done to my car has been inspired by what people have done on here, like my interior, headlights, and led cluster. if i ever had any questions i just posted on here and got them answered fairly quick.

you will pick up on stuff quick and find yourself not wanting to stop modding your car. lol

LOL CODY, you've seen my new haircut? That video is fucking hilarious. JAGERBOMBS :D

=P yeah im pretty sure ive already got the "what next" disease. I have already learned alot here though. Nothing crazy but its a start. Itd be nice to have a family member or friend that did this type of work though, that'd be a nice open door.

Cuz yous a skank!... skank!.....


sorry i haven't been around lately, just got an email saying someone posted a comment about my vid i made about my car on youtube and then I saw some comments from u guys and I wanted to pop down to see what was up?

oh and sorry for bringing this back from the dead but its pics and everyone loves pics...

oh and everyone does love to copy me so feel free lol....

I was actually thinking about selling my car and buying a 4 dr more reliable car since I have a family now I think the modding stage is over for me lol...

Well, since Derk already brought this back from the dead I might as well update, If you didn't already realize, I'm very excited about my new car :runaround:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/areyousad/100_1869.jpg

ehh, the thread wasnt dead, it just began digging its grave.

I have to say, I'm pretty jealous of everyone's cars :( I'm dying to re-do my interior as well as a few other things but most of it is waay expensive. College + bills suck ass. Awesome cars though. I'll post a pic of mine when i decide to be unlazy and take a pic.

Ha ha, i know about the college thing. I'm stuck at mine right now.

My problem is, i get piles of parts to install and then it takes me forever to catch up and install them all...

My main problem is that i try to figure out how to do everything myself and then i get half way through it and get totally confused about what to do next. not to mention i spend more money on shopping... the downfall to being female =\

My college bills come up this October... Plus a monthly car payment... Plus Insurance payment sky rocketing... Plus my need to buy aftermarket parts... And most importantly all the money I spend on Taco Bell... Thank you for the employment Wal-Mart :grinyes: So tomorrow I'm polishing up my Ecotec cover and installing my Shift-Plus, I'm pretty excited!

yea i hear the taco bell thing. to bad the one right off campus burnt down...so now i have to drive 3 minutes to the next closest one. i would post some pictures up here, but im sure everyone knows what a base model cavy looks like. school is to expensive to put anything more gas and oil into a cavy. i guess i could post some pictures of my new heater that squeaks like a bitch.

haha sounds about right. i feel ya there trust me. i don't get how you guys eat at taco bell. my heat in my cavi doesn't even work anymore. then again, who needs heat in florida?

Another female cavy owner... Welcome welcome. Everyone, don't fell intimidated to post pictures of your car. We all started somewhere...

Luckily I don't have midterms :) I'm just stuck writing papers out the ass. I'm so over it. I can't wait for the semester to end so i can transfer out of this freakin state and go back up north

I'll trade ya, you can come to NY and i'll move to Orlando.

I wouldn't mind going down there either. I'm starting to hate the snow. Especially the street salt scuffing up my chrome rims :(

How the heck do you post pics on here?

Host the picture somewhere.

I'm from up north and god i miss it. My family is from NY and NJ so it'd be nothing new to me :) I'll be back up probably in June anyway.

So I decided to finally take a pic of the beginning of my interior. I noticed after I put everything back on that i missed a few spots >.< so I'll be redoing the rest this weekend probably. But since I'm just starting if you have suggestions or criticism please lemme know :)

Hey guys/girls, names cody, just joined liek yesturday, and im already getting alot of help, im 18 livin in NY, i enver relaly have time for my car after our old house burned helping out my parents has been the focus of all my money =PP
not to mention i can't do my interior [painting it] cuase its SO COLD the damn paint won't stick =P

but here you go this is my starter, i am having trouble deciding on interior colors, i dont'w ant anything normal, iw as thinking of an orange black combo and doing the outside obviously oragne but im deffinatly open to ideas, andd how do you get your gauges to "change color" haha im such a n00b


http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/wolfmn/PICT3098.jpg


http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/wolfmn/PICT3091.jpg


and of course me, [croped it cause it was hugeee] concert kinda messed up my hawk haha

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/wolfmn/Picture003-1.jpg

btw im sry about my horrible typing

Uh oh, there is 2 of us on here now.

As for changing the dash lights, it can be done 95-05, but the 00-05, you have to have someone with some skill do them as it requires the unit to be disassembled. The 95-99 have 4 1/4" sockets you can buy from the parts store and replace them with colored LEDS. I used a 5-wled style 194 bulb in my gauge cluster and the same for all my autometer gauges before i decided to do the eco 5-speed swap.

I'm not going to lie, i really miss my cavalier. The sunfire is just a temporary band-aid to cure my broken heart from it.

Kezia- you look just like one of my best friends. I had to do a double take of you at first. Lol

and your from NY also... what an odd coincidence. :p

haha thanks for letting me know how to do it, i might see about getting some orange to match the 2 tone coloring im gonna do,

and i live in the lower parts of NY, idk if you do too but that would be wicked cool/weird =P

and i notice you have all these extra gauge, what exactly do they read?

and what kind of new radio would you suggest, to replace the stock one? i really don't want to get one then find out it sticks out a half a mile or something =P

oh and another quick question, do you just replace the bulb thats already in the cluster or do i have to make new slots and shit

Thats my old interior setup during last summer. This is my interior as of right now.... An ecotec motor swap pre-oo is a bastard child. Requires whole car to be re-wired to newer class 2 wiring system.

http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/6675/20080112image0001rh9.jpg

As for gauges i had the following..

Narrow band a/f gauge
Oil pressure
Volts
Tachometer
Boost/ vacuum

My house is actually, 15mins north of Syracuse, NY. But i attend college at SUNY Cortland, and travel to SUNY Oneonta and SUNY Delhi often to see friends. I know a little bit of the southern tier.

As for decks, you can pretty much get whatever you want since you don't have the 00+ wiring issue with loosing the door chimes and alarms. You can pretty much fit anything in the slot too, if it doesn't fit, get a dremel and cut the back plate. It doesn't affect anything.

I had a pioneer DEH-6500 in mine, which is sitting in its boxed all wired up for plug n play and for sale if you wanted a deck all ready to go. Comes with remote, face plate carrying case, and everything pre-wired up. $100.

my brother lives outside of syracuse (i think) i've never been to where he lives, but i think it's elmira? what's your best friend's name? i grew up with a kid named cody so that's kinda funny. but about the paint, whatcha think kid? :)

I've personally never been a fan of brightly painted interiors. Something more neutral like turning the charcoal color to black it what i would personally do myself. At home depot they sell a black textured painted. I actually used that on my gauge bezel surround i fiberglassed along with my A-pillar gauge holder.

Here is a better paint/ color pic than the one above.

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/8181/20070605image0002uz1.jpg

My friends name is Christina.

Elmira is closer to Binghamton and PA, rather than Syracuse. Syracuse its smack dead in the center of the state.

ohh no i don't eman liek a bright orange i mena more of a like orange with some red and blacker tones than a normal orange

that's actually really similar to what i'm doing. only i think i'm going to do the vents white or red as well and everything else black. i don't want to go too crazy because i know i'll end up getting sick of it... i get bored too easily. but when i do the dash, how long should i expect it to take? i'm not really going for the high gloss look so i won't be going crazy with sanding. i just want everything to match.

I was never crazy about brightly colored interiors either. Though I'm still debating whether or not to add some white details to my dash or not. Not sure how it would turn out so for now I'm not putting any time into it.
