Hard to tell without a picture, this was $1500 w/ labor [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3702776/Photo%20Dump/Accident%207-27-11/Photo%20Jul%2027%2C%202%2041%2010%20PM.jpeg[/t] a car is never the same after an accident though, I have occasional air leaks during crosswinds and the door doesn't close right, even after adjusting the hinges/striker
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36269776]it is, in fact, milano red. ain't too pink yet, but yeah, I might just get the whole thing painted since it's really worn out for its time I can already tell ya the door's gonna need adjustment, you gotta pull it up for the clasp to even align properly so the latch and lock can connect.[/QUOTE] You can do a bit of alignment with the hook thing which screws into the door jam, if you can get it aligned with that door you shouldn't have much of a problem with a new one. Just remember that the screws need to be tightened down really tight or they get loose.
The door that was torn off of my car and replaced doesn't line up right. It's like an eight of an inch low.
The only body damage is a dent-in fender on the drivers side, it's not that bad but does anyone have any good tips on how to take it out? [img]http://i.imgur.com/bMWjo.jpg[/img]
try pushing from the other side, or a dent puller.
Grandfather backed the camry into a tree that had a tumor sticking out of it when he was trying to park at a cemetary. huge round dent in the bumper looks like i can just pop it out though. I think the camry deserves it anyway
I wheelspun and revved like a chav (but not in mcdonalds) I shall upload videos to gain some abuse.

Cops told me to untint my taillights, so now that I've untinted them I'm left with fogged to hell tail lights, heck I don't see much more inside than when they were tinted :v:
[QUOTE=justin1992;36268312]My whole drivers side of the car is littered with bb gun dents, and as you all probably know one of them smashed my window. [editline]9th June 2012[/editline] But i think someone has a grudge against me, seeing as how I've had multiple instances of shit happening to my car, not just a couple freak accidents throughout the years. The thing that i think angers me most is that they are too fucking pussy to say something to my face, so they take it out on my car. So help me, if i ever find/catch someone. Scum of the earth is what they are, I'd be doing everyone a favor.[/QUOTE] Get some cameras (HD ones) Set them up, watching your car -- File a Police report and, -- Call the police for extra patrols
So after last nights fiasco w/ the sunroof, i decided to go look on pick n pull to see if the got any cars in. Last time i checked, they had crushed the last two that were left, and they haven't had one in in months. But lo and behold, added just this morning, an 87 GXL. Holy shit. I'm out the door before the clock hits 8 and im the first one there. Filled my pockets up to the brims with spare/replacement parts (They don't search you :D) and anything that was too big, IE a thermo neck that i needed a while back as well as a shift knob, FTP's, the piece i was missing for the rear speakers and some other goodies got put in the wheelbarrow with...You (probably didn't) guessed it! An entire fucking sunroof assembly, down to the weather stripping around the lid. Paid ~$113 for everything and got more than i could carry and more than my shorts could support without falling down, i was actually holding my pants up in line. Already got half of the stuff installed and working, sunroof included. All in all a p good day. [editline]10th June 2012[/editline] I actually got a, from what I've been told, pretty good low-light HD camera ready to go, i just have to get up off my lazy ass and install the tuner i got into my PC so i can hook it up. I don't have a DVR, you see. And that way i can record it straight to my hard drive if need be. Can see up to 25 feet in pitch black dark apparently. Pretty nifty, not sure what resolution it is though.

The best kind of camera you can get for getting pictures of what happens are hunting cameras. That's what we use at work, and I work for a governmental network, and it catch pictures of everything. They're about 100$ each and are weather proof, impact proof, easy to hide, takes pictures night and day, of good quality. We use those [URL]http://www.basspro.com/Moultriereg;-Game-Spyreg;-M-80XT-Mini-5-0-Megapixel-Digital-Game-Camera/product/1220201114/309728?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT[/URL] , the image quality is very good really.

Apparently BMW's are supposed to last forever. The only thing is, is that he doesn't have a title ATM, but he said he's getting one on monday.[/QUOTE] Do it. My friend got a 2002 530i on Thursday.

i really love my mustang. it can take corners like a fucking champ and the pirellis are great and they stick so well. ive fishtailed a few times but its always fun. its pretty fucking quick and i beat my friends 2011 challenger v6 in a drag race (i mean his car is like 600 pounds heavier or more but still) its really luxurious too, the black leather with white stitching and silver accents all over look fantastic. the sirius is great, ambient lighting, ford sync is cool as fuck and i love talking to my car. even shit like AC is still impressing me oh and hellstrike, i'd say 0-60 in 5.6 seconds is pretty damn quick [editline]10th June 2012[/editline] plus im getting a bama 93 tune as well as maybe putting in 3:73 gears in

If its still N/A, and a 4.6l, go with atleast 4:10's. Try Amazon instead of Bama. Rick is a GREAT tuner, alot better than Bama
2011 v6 sadly. but i cant complain with 305hp i just wanna be as fast as i can off the line, i dont care about top end [editline]10th June 2012[/editline] although the v6 does better in high speeds
Go with 4:10's, you wont regret it. I have 4:10's in my Cobra and they are the best thing I ever did with the car.
i dont wanna rape my gas mileage though. getting 19-20 city is incredible and it needs to be an ok highway cruiser since im going 6 hours away for college
Stick or Auto? If its a Stick, youll actually gain City because youll be able to launch in 2nd gear instead of first. You really won't lose but maybe .25mpg from the gear change. Youll jump about 300-400rpm up with the change from 3.27's to 4:10's
even more sadly its an auto so im trying to work with what ive got
I still will push the 4:10's, youll be left wanting more with the 3:73's.
whats the difference between the 2? ive heard some people just go 3:55's but everyone says you'll want more but i dont know the differences what if went from my 2:73s to 4:10s, how would that feel?
The car will rev alot faster, and it'll feel a whole ton faster off the line. 1st and 2nd gear will be stupid fast, after that it feels just a tad faster than stock.
what would you guess 0-60 and 1/4 miles times? i probably wont take it to the strip but i want to have piece of mind that i can kick some major ass with this on the streets
