WARNING! READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING!!!!!

This thread is devoted to posting up any car that you think is absolutely amazing. However, there are some rules...

1. Since this is partially an anime forum, no anime-related cars; this means most itasha (cars with anime characters plastered over them) and all cars pulled directly from any series whatsoever. Actual versions or replicas of the car from said series, however are allowed.

2. Please, let's not be cocky. Leave your personal rides outside of this thread if you already have a build thread of some sort or have already announced your car. If you wanna surprise everyone with your just-finished project, go ahead. Only one pic will be allowed, however. Leave the others to your own threads if you won't mind.

3. If you have second thoughts on putting a picture into this thread, don't put it in. A lot of cars that are like that are just fads that have passed over and do not need to be looked back on. It's like those pastel-colored hot rods or the ever-so-famous Donk; to some they might've been cool at one time, but to others, maybe not.

4. No arguments. Sure this maybe a discussion board, but dopeness is a state of mind and a matter of opinion, not a reason to troll the hell out of others because you disagree. If it gets too crazy, I might be threatened to shut the entire operation down to let it cool down for a bit.

EDIT: EDIT: 5. comments-only posts are allowed, but cannot quote the last picture.

EDIT: EDIT: EDIT: Image limit removed due to auto-resize.

So let us start off....

I feel like I'm cheating. I already have an 80+ page thread bookmarked with the exact same idea, but I'd like to suggest a rule. EVERY post must contain an original car picture. This means no text only posts and no posts quoting an already posted car just to say "fully sick, mate!"

On that note...

ALSO! Please oh PLEASE don't quote posts full of pictures. That Report button looks pretty appetizing when people do that.

17 x 9 + 20 Front
17 x 9 + 19 Rear

I am still contemplating keeping or selling these, I got a few nice offers on these wheels. If i keep them, I will probably put wider lips, and change out the barrels on them and make then 17 x 10.5 or 17 x 11 front and rear.

Say, what model of Volvo is that? I've been contemplating getting one as a first car since they're pretty cheap, but I'm not very educated on them. Volvo wagons look awesome on BBS wheels.

I think the Murcielago looks sexy in White and Black. If I could I'd rent one to drive it around... owning it would cost so much.

the 959 is just full of sexiness and wowness...

And the GT3RS... Love the color scheme, and even if the performance isn't all "GT-R killer" I don't care... this is a car that you don't have to even drive to get compliments on.

it was a repaint, originally silver i believe... it was a northern car so the trunk had rusted out.
I never implied it was nice to look at, just that i could have had it.

If you don't like it, that's not my problem

I ended up resigning from my job at SSR to try to pursue something bigger (my own business), school, and trying to find a local part time job that's not automotive related & that pays decent.

I still have most of the pictures, catalogues, and everything from my old job though.

Posted by: Tessou Aug 13 2009, 06:11 PM

My issue with the TSX is that it has no sport model to differentiate it from the base models. If there was a TSX-S we'd be in business, but there isn't. I don't understand why Acura made a Type S for the RSX and TL, but not their entry level car...

Posted by: BlackSubaru Aug 13 2009, 06:22 PM

cause iyts an entry level car. u start with that, and in 2-3 years when your lease is up, you get a sportier more expensive model.

Posted by: Tessou Aug 13 2009, 06:26 PM

Love them Mustangs, and the TSX even more (but if anyone's got any TL pics, share pls.), dunno why I like the TSX so much, it's just a nice car to look at, up until the latest model with the god-awful grille.

Posted by: Tessou Aug 13 2009, 08:35 PM

Actually, there was never a TSX Type-S. The USDM 1st gen TSX was the Japanese/Euro spec Accord Type S. The only "sporty" version of the TSX you could get for the 1st gen was the TSX with A-Spec package (body kit, wheels/tires, suspension work). The current, 2nd gen TSX comes in 4-banger only model for 2009, with the addition of a V6 model for 2010 (J35 3.5L V-6 from base 4th gen TL/3rd gen TL-S, revised suspension to deal with the added weight, slightly revised brakes, 18x8 wheels shod with 235/45 R18 Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 tires).

And since people want more pics of 3rd gen TLs, I could post pics of the TL-S I drive...but that would be against the rules.

I'd hate to argue in this thread, but the car looks CLEANER with those wheels. Honestly, you fail for saying the car needs bigger wheels. VIP does NOT always mean you have to put on bastard 20-inch wheels and have it dropped so low that the oil pan constantly scrapes the ground.

I've seen pics of the car as the guy cleared it from customs, it was rolling on standard VIP wheels that didn't look good (actually looked worse) with the car. Anyways it was the owners choice that he used the work wheels from his old GT-R.

Posted by: Hachi_Roku Sep 1 2009, 06:15 PM

For that last pic, There's quite a few 1J BMW's out there. D1GP's got an E92 335i running one driven by Takahiro Ueno, and it's pretty hot. Not sure what the BMW fans would say, but they did it so it wouldnt cost an arm and a leg to upgrade the engine.

Posted by: peemyTNBow Sep 1 2009, 08:17 PM

Ueno's car has a 2j, not a 1j. At least last time i checked.

It depends on someone's taste, for example, I wanted an M88/1 engine, but settled for a M60B30 instead.

It's not like he has to put on a base Impreza hood (which is actually heavier). The stock hood still directs cold air into the engine bay so its not completely non-functional.

It's not like he has to put on a base Impreza hood (which is actually heavier). The stock hood still directs cold air into the engine bay so its not completely non-functional.

Ah. My resolve to that would be an OE-style cf hood for Imprezas. But then again, I've seen an STi visually 'detuned' to a 2.5i and thought it was absolutely friggin badass. The intercooler was even painted flat black. Total sleeper.

Concerning sleeper STIs (i.e. STIs with 2.5i exterior), while the purpose and intent behind them is indeed badass they simply look way too dull and even more appliance-like for my liking.

In my book, at least the hoodscoop has to stay on an turbo Subaru (whether or not the owner changed to a FMIC). I consider it to be of greater importance and more symbolic than the decklid parkbench.

Here's 3 white beauties...

That NSX made my pants feel smaller. I'm liking the IS-F more and more. I say it looks way better than the E92 M3. Only if it had the M3's dynamics...
