Everyone is always posting about the problems they're having with their cars... So, let's see some pictures of your problematic beasts! :laughing:

I'll start with my biggest pain in the butt....
My 91 ATX AWD Twin Turbo 3000GT. I had the car delivered to me from Ft. Lauderdale, FL about 2 and 1/2 years ago. I went through 2 or 3 auto trannies, and gave up. Instead of doing the smart thing, and selling it, I dumped a crap load of money into it, and had it converted to AWD and Twin Turbo, while having it remain automatic :) (hey, what can I say, I wanted to drive my car with stiletto's!!) Unfortunately, about 2 months after completing the conversions, I melted a piston racing my friend, and the car has been parked out back of the garage for nearly 2 years now. :(

Here's a few pictures of it:

This is my 91 Stealth Twin Turbo. It did have 13g/15g turbos and a built engine. However, it's now down for the count, getting td05 evo3 16g's, and a 6spd swap. This car has not seen the road in probably 2 years or so as well. This should be back on the road in time for winter. I also have a 2g stealth rear end to install, and a greddy single shot exhaust (being swapped over from my ATX AWD TT). I don't have any recent pictures, but it really hasn't changed much at all. It's still pretty much bone stock looking.

And this is my most recent acquisition. my 95 Spyder SL. She most DEFINITELY has her quirks, but I can't help but love it! :grin: The front bumper and hood are temporary, it's the only spare parts we had laying around that would fit on the car, in a pinch. (we were leaving for vacation in 3 days, and needed to get a front bumper and hood on the car, and painted ASAP! we used what we had). Those are coming off this winter when I put it down for a complete tear down and repaint, and more stock-appearing body panels are going on the car. I want to twin turbo it as well, Hans doesn't want me to. We'll see... I usually win! :laughing:

(in that picture is also Hans' 97 3000GT base that we daily drove for about a year. that car will be listed for sale soon).

Hmmm. I should close this thread Emm. Stop bragging about all your cool cars. Wait, how the hell do you afford to keep them all? I guess doing all the work with Hanz is a major bonus. That 91 has a very tidy engine bay.

Scotty

Is that the greddy SP exhaust on the 92? if it is, hows it sound?

If she wanted to brag, she should post pictures of my cars LOL

I found a vr4 spyder that I want to pickup at the end of august, but Emilie wants to buy it for herself. I found it, I'm buying it!!!!!

thank you :) I spent a lot of time cleaning that engine bay. I posted some before and after pictures on here I think at one point.

LOL I paid I think $1200 for the 91 SL (beige one), and I had an entire parts car that I used all of the AWD and Turbo parts from. The AWD ATX trans cost me $600, plus labor (the most expensive part).

The spyder... I got for a killer deal on e-bay back in March, and only have about... $700 invested for the paint work, plus the cost of shipping from oklahoma.

The 91 stealth TT... I inherited from my dad when he died last January. It already had the built engine and 13g/15g turbos, and I recently bought a parts car, and that's where the 6spd is coming from, and I'm buying the evo3 set-up from Hans (for a little less than what he paid from IPS, since they're slightly used, I don't get a discount on those!!).

So... I don't have as much invested as you'd think. And they're cars I've acquired over the years with money I made from my sales. Just smart investing, really. Every car I buy, I buy as an investment. And even with all the work into them (not including the stealth from my dad), I'll make money on when/if I sell.

.... and it doesn't hurt that my boyfriend owns the shop that works on them :)



yea, it's a greddy. I absolutely LOVE the sound!! It has a nice mellow tone. not that droning sound on the highway, a nice growl when I give it gas, but at the same time it's pretty quiet while cruising.

I have a video of the car somewhere. I'll dig it up and post it so you can hear what it sounds like :)

Pay me back first, and then maybe I'll let you buy the spyder for yourself ;)

I need to take some more updated pics, but here's what I have from last year.

I'll take a current picture tonight when I get home but until then you get this one.

The only problem at the moment is a small oil leak near the oil cooler. It's currently doing daily-driver duty, so i make sure nip problems in the butt ASAP.

BTW, Emily, i know i asked you before, but how did you get ahold of that SR ATX tranny?

^oops, sry. accidently posted as my wife...seems she's been on my computer again..

haha I post as Hans every now and again too. :laughing:

Your Vr4 looks CLEEEEAN!!!! :haha:

I got mine through a shop in Canada. but they're on e-bay every now and again. I'll be putting that car up for sale shortly :( No sense in having a highly modified stealth, a Spyder, and Hans and I just bought a 92 Diamante as a daily driver, AND the ATX AWD. Too many. LOL

I actually overpaid for my ATX AWD trans :( AND on top of paying too much, it didn't have a working reverse. Whatever though. **** happens. haha

BTW, here's the video of the car, ripping up and down the street... :grin: EMC - I thought I had a video of the car with the single shot exhaust on... I guess I swapped it on after this.
