Post pictures of your ride as it sits!

Show them off! Got new wheels? Got moar low? Got a new mod? Fresh wash/clay/wax? Show off your stuff here. I wanna see what all you guys got! Use {IMG} tags if you can!

I'll start this off!!!

I've had 6 Mustangs total… 3 are sort of worth something for your viewing pleasure.
1996 Mustang. Totalled after missing a deer.
2003 Mustang. Sold.

2003 SVT Cobra: Made 495 to the wheels. Sold:


2004 Mustang GT with a 4V Mach 1 swap. Sold:


2003 Yamaha R6: Traded:

2006 Yamaha R6: Totalled (link in signature shows full story with NSFW pictures):

2003 Mustang GT: Over $10k in suspension and brakes alone. Still own this (bought the original body with a salvaged title, got a clean body to put the engine and transmission in):



Getting the 2003 GT ready to sale so I can get my hands on a 11-12 5.0.

Let's see what you've got, and update thread with new things being done!

I actually like that a lot. Is that one of those 4Runners from Toyota?
Yeah, the last picture is technicially my ride as it sits. I thought I would peak more interest if I actually threw up some decent pictures to view…

Also, you know there really isn't much difference from '11-'14 Mustangs right? A little different hood/bumper combo and different tail lights. That is just about it. And there is no difference in a 11-12. 11 and 12 are the same. 13 and 14 are the same.

I like this. Very clean and tastefully modded. I've been wanting to do a kind of urban assault vehicle possibly with a Cherokee, 4runner, or Land Cruiser for my next project.

Yep, its a 4runner trail edition, it's kind of comparable to a Jeep Rubicon. It gets terrible gas mileage, but it's fun for the time being.

That orange stang is biurful man. The 2011-12 had oil squirters on the bottoms of the pistons, which is something they removed for 2013, which'll be good for someone looking into forced induction. I've actually got a deal lined up on the car already, that's how I know it'll be a '12. It's got the Brembo's, 3.73's and a manual tranny!

The Trail Edition 4Runner is actually a rebadged Land Cruiser with no luxuries, so it's a good middle ground between a normal 4runner and Land Cruiser.

LOL OP at as it sits then posting cars you don't own anymore. Why so many mustangs? Strong waste of money with the mach1 swap, etc. I mean its a hobby so whatever floats your boat…not trying to offend, just don't get it. Would love a terminator though.

Too dark to take pics, but both look exactly like this minus the snow from the DD.

It is my passion. I'll always have Mustangs. And the Mach 1 swap is VERY worth it. Pay for a 32 valve car at only a 24 valve price. I'm 22 so it really matters a lot! It walks 400HP cars all day. Anyone that goes from a GT to a Mach 1 really knows the difference. The only sad part is you can't get aftermarket heads and cams will cost over $2,000 not including springs, retainers, and cam gears. I am honestly sick of this body, but I may crack and get another Terminator when the time comes. It is really only that or a '11+ 5.0.

Next mods will be wheels and suspension, whenever the funds may allow it. I'm holding off on O/R Xpipe and a tune until my powertrain warranty runs out, I'm at 48k miles now and the car is my daily, so we'll see when that happens.

Like this =[

Pulled the GTO's trans to send the converter back to be loosened up some. The Mustang is becoming a dust holder. Driving the Altima all the time is boring.

Although, I did race my neighbors 2007 Audi A4 Quattro (Little 4 banger turbo all wheel drive), with my 2008 Altima 2.5SL (4 banger NA), and 0-75 we were neck and neck, I may have been pulling just barely…. Seemed like 0-75 took 5 minutes… LOL

I guess I should have been more specific. I understand how much better the 32 valve engine is, but with the exception of forced induction those engines don't really respond very well to mods besides gearing. When I was stock in my LS1 GTO and raced Mach 1's I always lost the dig (thanks IRS), then came flying by them around 80 mph like they had a boat anchor thrown out the window.

I guess more of what I was questioning is why not stick with a solid engine like the terminator and build that up from there. I get that its a hobby and you like tinkering with chit (I am the same way), but you could have still messed with plenty of the cobra. Any time I get bored with my car I buy something for it that I havent messed with yet.

Here are a few others.

See attached.

2008 Scion xD

Specs:
1.8L 4Cyl with Dual VVT-i
128HP (zoom)
4-speed automatic transmission

Modifications:
K&N air filter (increases horsepower to a whopping 130HP) and cabin air filter
Slightly larger tires because the Costco guy said they'd fit and they were significantly cheaper
Rather large dent on roof from a rogue tree branch
Highly scuffed aerodynamic plastic spoiler from washing the car wrong that one time
Paint paw print on passenger seat from the Yorkie stepping on wet paint and doing a tap dance

Pros:
Drives like a go-kart
Amazing turning circle
Easy to get in and out of
Very minimal, less to break
Low maintenance
Same cargo space as the last car (Jeep Liberty)
Good visibility, regardless of the back window

Cons:
Doesn't like uphills
Black interior shows every speck of dust
Headlights are already getting faded, gotta fix that
It's a Scion xD

I love my car, srs.

I'm very grateful to actually talk to a fellow gear head on here. So damn expensive to lift and mod cars.

To be completely honest, I regret getting rid of the 2003 Cobra every day of my life. I should have held out and bought another Cobra. I got so tired of it. I loved DSG (Dark Shadown Grey) before I bought the car, and my 1996 was a 'vert. I loved being able to drop the top in Texas on a warm day… But this car came with cons, and too many for my liking. I started to dislike 'verts more and more, started to hate DSG, I HATED the IRS, and hated the transmission. I probably spent close to $10k in bolt on's. I broke a few half-shafts. I could NEVER get the transmission to shift softly and the clutch pedal literally had about 50lb's of pressure to depress. It was fast and it sounded amazing, but wasn't what I wanted anymore. I got completely tired of it. Grey is the most boring color you can put on a car. There are 3 colors that flow well with it, Chrome, black, and red. Red is cliche. So I let it go wanting a different colored body with a hard top and came along the Lambo Orange 4V. Needless to say, I got googly eyes over the color and how famous the car was and got it. The car was a total lemon. The original owner ghetto rigged too much stuff for me to handle. I lost my job and couldn't hold on so something had to go.

As for racing, your Goat, as you know, is a tank. The thing is so heavy it isn't even funny. What is the most important thing in racing? Power to weight ratio. Get a stripped Honda civic making 175HP only weighing 1,600 pounds or less and it will walk anything you or I've got (of course you'd reel them in up top). I personally wouldn't make anything that weighes so much fast. Why do you think EVERYONE has a Mustang, either a Fox, or a New Edge (99-04) is because they a cheap, easy, and light. Not much cars have so much swapablity. I can go get a 5.4 SUPERCHARGED Lightening motor and swap it right into my car, bolts right up to a 99-04 K-member. But I'm pretty impressed with you TVS. I don't think I've ever seen a boosted late model Goat. Kudos.
