DavinI've had my Evo X with bolt ons and suspension for four years now!
Added a new toy to the garage with a s13 240sx
Was wondering where that X was since this thread died, glad to see someone keeping it and not going Subaru.
Did you buy the 240 like that? Looks very ready for dub.

Mr.CaponeI put a corvette engine into my 1988 BMW 325...now it's a 357 (3 series with a 5.7 liter v8 instead of a 2.5 liter inline 6). The new engine is all aluminum so it gained no weight aka it's 2800 lbs and has 350 hp. It's actually kinda scary to drive haha...
In hopes that she will be drive-able this weekend. Here's my 1973 Ford E-100. Had to do a bunch of work to get it in decent shape, but it'll all be worth it soon.

Haven't been active on NS for a while but couldn't resist digging up this classic summer nsg thread. As I'm thoroughly convinced Audis are the ultimate skimobile, I just upgraded from a 2005 A4 to this 2015 A3 this summer. Plus my plates just came in....some may think it's corny but I love it. Forgive me for the summer rig being on top rather than the skis

Nice upgrade, if I somehow see it when I'm back in NH I'll give a wave, thanks for reviving this thread btw it's been forever.
Titus69Ah it fooled me, what is that car by the way? The Clio looks so fun, 3 door hatches ftw.
Peugeot 106 GTi. Absolute little rocket of a car, especially after a bit of work! I’ve thrown some serious cash into it.
Like every French tin though, they suffer from severe rust issues. Lucky my example is absolutely mint. Saying that I’d never put so much money into a nail!

Nice, good to see someone using fwd for performance these days, my brothers daily and race car are both fwd and before I thought oh lame, but after driving his fiesta ST and 92 eclipse rallyx car I see how good they do if you know what you're doing.
jmckay7That’s the aim dude. One day! Living in Canada at the moment so it’s still in my Dads garage unfinished.
That's awesome, I didn't know those were in Canada! I just lived in Germany for a few years and I'm in the Nurburgring FB group; there are some old French and Britt dudes that absolutely RIP those around the ring. If you haven't checked out the youtube videos of them.... mother of God... #SLAY

Yeah man. 106 GTis running decent LSDs can out-handle cars 10x their value. Unbeatable fun!

Sorry dude should have been more specific. They were never marketed or sold in North America. Because I’m in Canada it’s still in my Dads garage at home in the UK...unfinished! I’m gonna be in the 106 game for as long as they last, such little rockets!

Right on! Enjoy dude!!! Tell the ring I said hello
Titus69Damn son nice rig, whatever happened to the r32?
Drove the R32 for 3 years and 50,000 kms and then sold it for a few grand more than I bought it for! Had two Audi B7 Avants since and now the Cayenne Turbo

Hell yeah dude, I detail in PC and we do so many and I dont like the older ones but 2013 and up are super nice inside and out.
e.litttThrew some all terrain tires on my Forester this summer :) I would love to give it a small lift eventually.
Anyone know if ATs are good enough for winter though?
God no man. AWD is no better than RWD without proper winter tires and studs. I had two friends this winter with outbacks on all seasons, and both slid and crashed. I borrowed my grandma’s outback on allseasons for a few days, and it got pretty fuckin scary. I mostly drove my FWD volvo though (winters and studs), and never had a problem. See, not only do allseasons not have deep tread, but they are made out of a the same rubber they use for summer tires. Winters are made of softer rubber, so they don’t get super hard when it is cold. Bite the bullet, and get studded winters man, theres a good chance it will save your life, or at least your car.
