?? got a problem with my photochop of a corolla ( i need to make that spoiler smaller)

 

<n00b bragging>Let's see what my mom drives. Whoo! 2005 Toyota Camry LE</n00b bragging>

Yeah, cool car. I'm cool because I drive my mom's car. Extremely soft suspension. You can make the tires squeal like nothing going around a corner. Rev-happy engine though. Funny, the rev-limiter does not stop it at "redline". It's basically the same I4 that's in the Celica *shudder*, which has a redline of about 8000RPM or so no? So, on the Camry, it has a redline of 6000RPM but I've gone to about 6300RPM before. Oops? Very smooth car, very smooth tranny. 2.4L I4 w/ 160HP .

I would buy a car, but university comes first. Cars are really expensive in my country, and in my province. . I was looking at a 1994 VW Jetta, but that's about $6000 . I could get a 2005 Sunfire for $3500 more (ewww). There's also a 1992 BMW 325i for $5800 (the newer generation of 1992). That's cool. But I still need money for university...

Well what do you people think. I have put so much time and effort into this car its like my child. anyway it came a long way from what I wanted to get with it: lambo doors, 17" momo wheels, aggressive lip kit. but I do have 1 more mod planned before I call it quits on this thing: Acura RSX Type-S leather front seats.
comments?

 

Roflzilla!

 

you do all these internal mods and sound mods, yet you dont do anything to the engine, ride etc. makes no sense to me.

 

honda civic = 100hp at the wheels, and its an automatic.
no point. bolt ons (intake, exhaust, headers) cost over $1000 and dyno proven to lose about 5ft-lbs torque and gain about 1-2 horsepower. so actually the car gets slower. I have no money for turbo, or built NA. also the roads around me at all pot-holes so new suspension means more scrapes on the bumpers, and id be replacing the overpriced shocks every year because most upgrade shocks/springs dont consider the extra 200 lbs in the trunk.

the only other suspension mods i would consider are RSX 19mm rear sway bar, front upper strut bar, rear lower tie bar.
rear strut bar won't fit: subs.
not to mention my car is a sedan and understeers more than i will ever be able to correct.
im just happy with what I have done. college prevents me from doing alot more though.

 

I think its a really nice car diskreet, but then, i love civics so

 

thanks for the compliments!

AMG C32



Weekend car:

Delorean DMC-12

 

/me demands more DMC pics

edit: does it have the time travel mod aswell as that screen?

 

Sweet AMG, and yeah, MORE DMC pics, is there a flux cap in the back?!

 

i'm out in hawaii right now, but I can take more pics when i get back.

no flux capacitor., but the power's pretty decent for a 20 year old car.

 

Am I mistaken or these Deloreans were made in very very small amount?
