Need some suggestions, i got a car with leather seats right. I live in a place that gets 110 temps regularly, if not all summer long. So when the car is out in public spaces it tends to heat up really fucking badly. I'm really tired of the seats being so hot I instantly get a really sweaty back. I've tried the beaded seat covers, they don't work at all, so i was wondering what would be a good solution.. I've been looking at actual seatcovers and can't seem to find anything that is affordable. I was told sheep skin seats work nicely. I've also been looking at some therm-electric cooled seat covers and finally been looking at self cooling seat covers. Thoughts?
Never thought I'd say this, but the Scion FRS is cool to me. How often do we get 4-cyl modern, affordable tuners today. Rear wheel drive with a manual transmission option? I'm still hoping Nissan is still going through with making a new 240sx. S16, or perhaps a re-hash of the old S13 looks and feel would make me want to buy a new one. What bugs me too is that Nissan still supplies almost all the parts for the S13 brand new, they could whip up the same S13 fresh with the parts their factories still pump out today. I would buy one for $25K if they sold a brand-new S13 with the same old design
So who has the fastest vehicle in this forum? My coronet and the barracuda don't count because I don't actually own them nor did I build them (I sort of own the Coronet but I didn't build it), same goes for anyone elce who's parents have a fast car, only your car. My truck is probably a 16 second Q mile truck but my 0-60 is pretty good from the low gears. Once I get my dart going it will be a force to be reckoned with.

I do 0-60 in high 8.8's-9.3's (New turbo project would be 0-60 in 5's) Top 162 before it gets too shakey with bad control arm's. [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] Inb4 bradley beets me.
0-60 in 7.2 seconds (apparently) but I've never tested it

Also speaking of Cherokees, I was watching homeward bound :v: you know the movie with the talking dogs and a cat finding their way home. Anyway it was from 1993 and the family had I'm assuming a new wood paneled Cherokee and it made me miss mine :( I also realized when I get another Cherokee one day, I want it to basically be a late 80s/early 90s time capsule. Fully stock and unmolested brick that's actually in nice condition. That'll be hard
[QUOTE=Valon Kyre;37014474]So who has the fastest vehicle in this forum?[/QUOTE] Me obviously

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xUL2L.jpg[/IMG] that's me in the tractor, they stopped us because I had 8 passengers :v: I didn't get a ticket luckily enough, they just talked to me and let me go.
Polisen have such silly hats :v:
i don't like to launch but my wagon runs 12s
cleaned up throttle body ^^ [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/VK29Z.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/tsCY8.jpg[/thumb]

I don't recall anyone else having anything particularly fast. Zags' C5 is supposed to pull ~12.6 1/4 miles stock, and since Edberg has said he runs twelves, he's in the same category. I think those are the fastest two on here (That actually own their cars :v:) [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=DPKiller;37014578]I do 0-60 in high 8.8's-9.3's (New turbo project would be 0-60 in 5's) Top 162 before it gets too shakey with bad control arm's. [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] Inb4 bradley beets me.[/QUOTE] 0-60 on the hatch is 7.3-7.5 now that it runs good again. Top speed I can't say. I don't really think top speed makes much difference since it's a street driven car. Exceeding the speed limit by that much is reckless. I wouldn't do that.

My blazer does 0-60 in 15 seconds, no fucking lie. Even desu's bug could wipe the floor with it.

[QUOTE=bradley;37020631]Doesn't it have that L05? Those things were a sad excuse for a 350. :( You going to do anything to it?[/QUOTE] Like i said a while back, i'm waiting for it to die so I can put either the old ass 396 i found, or, if i have a job by then, get a crate motor and re-build the entire suspension and drive-train. Make it a true offroader instead of a stock truck with lifting blocks and mud-tires. [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] nevermind, just went out to look at the 396 in the shed, turns out it's seized. Time to pull it apart and sell the parts!
Cobra ran a 13.2 with me driving it, Hopefully Im in the low 12's when its done.
How about whatshosface's supra when it's not exploding, and banned users car will probably be pretty fast looking at his engine parts picture.
I timed my jeep at about 15 seconds 0-60 with a terrible tire burning launch coupled with a cellphone nailing me in the chest. [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] Cant wait for the monte to be on the road, me and my friend are going to go together to get it dynoed, then a trip to the drag strip will be in order.
You know what'd be a cool engine swap? A 2 stroke v-8 into my blazer. That'd be unique as fuck, however i can't find a small-block 2 stroke v-8 that isn't a boat motor. [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] Googling 2 stroke v-8 pulls up this: [img]http://www.petealbrecht.com/blog/deltic2.jpg[/img] [I][B][U]what[/U][/B][/I] [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] [video=youtube;lRKeuHyI0lw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRKeuHyI0lw[/video] Dat SOUND. Also, the dyno screen looks like they gave a kid with tourettes an etch-a-sketch. [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] That thing got around 200hp, out of a tiny ass 3.6L boat motor. Might have to look into those one day when i have the money and skill. 200 hp is more power than the current 350 has v:v:v
How would you connect that to a gearbox

It's more than what i've got right now, my blazer makes a fucking blistering 120hp.
and has the most fucked up gear box I have ever driven
[QUOTE=areolop;37023475]and has the most fucked up gear box I have ever driven[/QUOTE] You and I have different blazers, I have a K5 (Silverado) Blazer, you have an S-10 Blazer.

(I dont need to be at 2.5k RPM going 70 on the highway...)
Overdrive master race, i cruise at less than 1500 at 70.
