Vote for the May Ride of the Month

Here are this months Potential rides. Two posts of entries.


Owexonline’s 2006 Outlander

Normal car, no major mods. 2006 outlander 2.0L AWD, Owner: ovi from Romania.

hmmmm

I bought the car in 2005 from a neighbor ( was 11 month old and a fair price ), it has 2 things I don’t like
1. Leather inside
2. Manual gearbox
in the rest is a great car, and I drive it almost everywhere. Not much off-road because of the 19" wheels. Wheels are not stock, I bought them after I bought the car and then I had to upgrade brakes since I couldn’t brake anymore because of the steering wheel vibration. I also bought xenon hid kit, must be mounted this week.

Ross1224’s Eclipse (420A Turbo)

The story,

I bought the car back in February from a retard. He had totally screwed this car up. The only thing was it still looked good. I had to buy it and fix what he had done to it. So we started out with a grueling 24 hour trip that should have only taken us a half a day. My friend and I limped this thing home, stopping at gas stations auto parts stores and sometimes even on the side of the road. Was I discouraged? No. I was hooked. I had to get this thing running. Several thousand dollars later and a creap load of work and she is better than ever.

Here is the mod list

Altezza Tail Lights
52 mm gauge bezel for instrument cluster
52 mm gauge bezel for AC vent
4 ProSport Gauges
Boost
Oil Pressure
Fuel Pressure
EGT
AFC NEO
Megan Short Throw shifter
Sony Explode Head Unit
T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo
Custom Turbo exhaust manifold
FMIC
2.5" Aluminum IC Piping
HKS Blow Off Valve
Accel 310cc injectors
Wallbro 255 fuel pump
12:1 FMU
Montegi Rims on 225 35 R18's
New oil pan w/ welded in -10 AN return line
Steel braided oil lines
Missing Link Map sensor adapter
New upper and lower control arms, sway bar bushings and tie rods
32 point adjustable Megan racing coilover suspension

This along with over 2 months of nonstop work is what I have into it so far. I know you die hard Eclipse/Talon guys can appreciate the work. Hopefully I have done enough to have a shot at winning. LOL. Thanks for taking the time to look and read.

Vlorion’s 1991 3000GT VR4

I bought my '91 300gt VR-4 2 years ago. When I first bought the car it had a blown engine. I found a motor from a '93 VR-4 and bought it for $2000. I had it installed by one of my friends for $600. I then moved on to the exhaust. I installed a 3" stainless steel straight-piped exhaust pipe with no cat or mufflers. This exhaust sounds sweet. Copy and paste this link in the search bar if you would like to hear it:

After the exhaust, I moved on to the interior. I installed white gauge faces and an aftermarket boost and air/fuel gauges. After that, I put in 2 black Ralliart racing seats. The interior is super nice and clean...no rips or tears in the front seats, or the rear black leather seats.

The last thing I have done so far was swap out all factory speakers for Kicker speakers and I installed a 12" Phoenix Gold sub.

Well, 2 years and about $4200 later, I have completed just a small chunk of my to-do list for this car.

Lewman06’s 1998 3000GT


I bought this car in May of 07. It was my first car that wasn't a POS. it was also my first car that did 0-60 in under 10 seconds. So naturally I wanted to go faster. And started in on it.


MODIFICATIONS
my first MOD was a BOMZ intake
next I went to NGK plugs and wires
Custom straight pipe exhaust
MSD ignition
after a while I realized that tan front cloth seats and black leather back seats didn't work for me (dealer swap at last second I didn't catch till it was too late, give me a break, I was 18)
so I went on the internet and purchased a set of black leather BOMZ racing seats. And a set of red corebeau racing harnesses. They aren't really needed but I think they make the car look sick.
I also went ahead and put some 17's on there. "Lobster claw" style. They greatly increase its sex appeal from the stock 16's that they come with.
Car handles amazing and will definitely look to the future for a VR4 for its handling abilities.

Vote Fouckers!!!

Nice car Lew. Got my vote... :thumbsup:

Man, we got some good rides this month. I almost voted for that outlander; i thought the rims really went well with the body styling. My vote went to that VR4 though. because once youve driven an AWD turbo, you cant go back. tAWD > everything.

Hmmm, i'm gonna wait this one out for a minute.

That outlander looks like a Porsche Cayenne in one of the photos and I love the color.

The VR4 well its nice and well I'm bias because well its a 3/S. But the welds on the exhaust look like my Mother did them in her sleep. And its missing a fog light. And whats up with you having the AC on and set to 82 degrees man?

Ross's car is just plain sweet. I like the paint and a crap load of work has been dedicated to this car.

The Red 3/S, Its totally together, but the pics aren't great. But it is still just a sexy base 3/S.

Haven't voted yet.

At this point i'm not sure, I am leaning more towards the eclipse though. Is Ross eclipse running? it seems like there's unfinished work left to be done. VR4 well is nice and all but there's nothing there but a VR4. I'll wait this one out also.

Yes ross's car is running, a bit rich but it is full together. He didn't have any pictures or it fully together.

Ross gets my vote. He put a lot of time and effort into that car. That deserves some MAD props. Nice looking car ross. Thats something to be proud of man.

Thanks guys... I really appreciate the comments and all the help you guys have given me on this forum. Here is a current pic. I have the downpipe off because I am chasing an oil leak right now. :thumbsup:

I voted for Ross'. Bang up job..imo and I like white !
Great job

One more for me. I knew my people loved me! LOL. Keep voting... :blush-anim-cl:

Vote we have a tie.

Eclipse by far. Very clean install.

The weld job on the 3000GT - is HORRIBLE.

There i broke the tie! :clap:

Outlander gets my vote........shes HAWT!!

Eclipse has a horrible paint scheme thing going on there, props on the 420a-T though.

VR4 is nice, just has no picture of a hot female standing with it.

3000GT is just too bland.

All in all, Hot Romanian > cars

You actually surprise me with that opinion...i thought you were 9AY all this time...i mean I see the Unicorn and other comments by you and i came to that conclusion...but anyway you do you...and this was... :offtopic:

i'm just in here to see if its possible for an N/A to win. looks like by the votes so far its not possible. so, oh well, no NA cars for ROTM

Its still a close race.
