[QUOTE=Van-man;19627974]Looks weird and bland, compared to the current Focus RS.[/QUOTE] Which we didn't fucking get here in north america :\ Our Not-Mk2 Focus looks like this: [img]http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/8430/2008fordfocus50.jpg[/img] [img]http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6159/2009fordfocusopt.jpg[/img] It's a pile of fucking shit. Also, no hatchback. Thankfully I was able to get a 2007 model, which was the last year that they made the good Focus over here :\
[QUOTE=edberg;19629723]It came with a shitty non-working Chinese aftermarket alarm with some crappy immobilizer. It activated and all it does is disable the starter motor but not the entire ignition, it flooded my engine. Gona rewire a bunch of crap now, wish me luck. :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Ouch, i hope you've got a Haynes manual or something similar, with a complete wiring diagram of how the car was originally wired up. Or just make the car alarm disable the fuel pump too, whichever is easier.
[QUOTE=Blaster;19585899]I learned stick in my car w/o power steering. in a city. was fun :D[/QUOTE] I learned to drive a manual (most people in the UK do) then I went out and bought a car without power steering, although I regret it slightly (it has no luxuarys, no power steering, no ABS, no electric windows, nothing electronic basically)
has anyone heard of the ariel atom here? Im thinking of getting that one since its quite cheap considering its performance.
[QUOTE=gol4z03;19631035]has anyone heard of the ariel atom here? Im thinking of getting that one since its quite cheap considering its performance.[/QUOTE] While you're at it, check out the Caterham 7 and the varieties.
[QUOTE=gol4z03;19631035]has anyone heard of the ariel atom here? Im thinking of getting that one since its quite cheap considering its performance.[/QUOTE] It's quite cheap for it's performance, but doesn't really offer much in the way of much else. Brilliant if you've got £30k to spend on a car you can only some times use. Not so much if you don't. And you're just thinking pies in the sky.
[QUOTE=Doozle;19632311] Brilliant if you've got £30k to spend on a car you can only some times use. .[/QUOTE] what do you mean you can only sometimes use?
[QUOTE=gol4z03;19632487]what do you mean you can only sometimes use?[/QUOTE] You wouldn't exactly look cool in that during rain or snow, for example.
Or if you needed to carry anything.
[QUOTE=lemon_lover;19621044]Same thing with the new CTS-V [img]http://cache-03.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2010/01/500x_cadillac_cts-v_coupe__1__01.jpg[/img] Also the Evo X. Why do so many new cars have big butts?[/QUOTE] Mainly because of divas getting these cars And people with HUUGE pockets which means more stuff to buy = Bigger Trunk = More room to put crap in

[QUOTE=edberg;19635347]"edberg's car with fucked wiring" :byodood: I fucking rewired the entire thing, my car is finally stock.[/QUOTE] Didn't you buy that off craigslist?

[QUOTE=lemon_lover;19616852]Simple solution, get rid of audio system, save weight, and hear 9000rpm in all its glory.[/QUOTE] That's cool when you're 16. After that, the racket gets old very fast, especially on a long trip. I had to wear ear plugs on long trips when my rx7 was still kicking.
[QUOTE=DrMortician;19638058]That's cool when you're 16. After that, the racket gets old very fast, especially on a long trip. I had to wear ear plugs on long trips when my rx7 was still kicking.[/QUOTE] This. I'm 18 and I already hate engine noises while driving.
Well damn, I never said rip out the sound deadening. If it does drone that bad, the radio is only gonna cover it up.

[QUOTE=RedStar;19641881][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3eCRovzbfw[/media][/QUOTE] Hell yes. I hope those big front intakes are the headlights, when you're cruising at night, they light up white, and the faster you go, the more powerful and more red they get. Also, imagine the noise coming from that thing. It gives me the chills just thinking about it. [editline]07:46PM[/editline] Upon further investigation of the Ankonian.

What's wrong with making good looking cars? If I want a fighter jet/robot that an 8 year old drew, I'll... uh... I DON'T KNOW BUT I DON'T WANT A LAMBO THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT!

If I wanted an angry body building piece of metal that some danes drew, I'll... uh... I DONT KNOW BUT I DONT WANT THAT ANGRY FUCKING HUNK OF METAL" when I see that Danish Supercar. Referring to this [img]http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/autopia/images/2008/12/18/zenvo_02.jpg[/img] [editline]08:16PM[/editline] A simple "Meh, I don't really like it. It's too over the top in my opinion." will suffice. Seriously.
