It's an awesome feeling when a project car starts when you turn the key. Good job, mate.

Here is a nice vid of a 32 with a 1jz

I have a 2010 Ford focus XR5 Turbo. I love it. Not the fastest but definitely the best bandg for your buck hot hatch considering its 10-20k cheaper than its competition.

Only mod so far is a tune that is said to take it up to around 200kW.

And with my toys...

You're right into the exotics, aye. They are sweet, but you can't make them your own so much. That's what I love about cars.

R35's are sweet, I'd probably like them more if they weren't paddle shift. The G6E's are sooo nice, especially with cashmere leather.

I have a huge list, but I was trying to be semi realistic, if I'm successful one day, it may be a possibility

Yeh I do love exotics.. need to add Audi R8 V10 to my list too haha. I think exotics are epically amazing but that list is if I'm a billionaire. I think paddle shift looks great, auto gearbox ftw! LOL
Take out all the cars over 100g & thats my semi realistic list.

silverbeast- XR5s intrigue me, I like the shape of the focus too, much better than the mondeo. I Also like the stock wheels!

If you ever get a chance to ride in one i'd take it. 0-100 in 6.5 sec but feels as strong as the XR6T as its so much lighter and quicker off the mark. Through corners its fantastic and its in-gear acceleration is its strong point (rather than a quick drag from 0kmh).

That is stock too. The tune i've put on it removes the limiter on 1st and 2nd gear and ramps them up HEAPS. STock is 166kW and this tune says to give it around 200kW. Then if you add better cold air induction, intercooler and exhaust kits you'll be flying and easily able to match an XR6T (stock and/or lightly modified).

The XR5 would beat the 6T around a track though with how good it is in the corners.

And they sound like this!

[snakeluvver]

I dont like holdens and fords, I'm into the supercars
I lived in dubai which was supercar heaven, I saw millions of lamborghini's and ferraris, and every second car was a porsche 911. I also saw a super rare Bertone Mantide (only 10 in teh world!) and a Maserati MC12 (only 50 in the world) gathering dust in a apartment carpark!

The wheels are deceptive, Their 18in but you would probably think they were 17in because they aren't wrapped in stupidly thin rubber. I want to get some 17x9 and 17x10 in the future for track duties. Something Japanese. The problem is clearing the brake upgrade.

would love to get an aristo one day

Yeah mate, I put a ken block vid on the other page. It's awesome, but it probably took a few days of shooting to get it all right. No doubt about it though, he's a great driver.

Anyone else got more pics or a "dream garage" it's not just the cars in the garage for me, it's the garage, too. I drool over nice private set ups, I've seen pics of Americans houses where they have big properties and whole workshops devoted to motocross and car stuff. You'd never get me out of there, hahaha.

This was my old car. Got rid of it ages ago to go to college. Would love to get into something again soon. I would love a VK Commodore or something from VK-VS with a v8 in it. Not as fussed on the jap bling stuff anymore even though i have a soft spot for the Mark IV Supra.

 

[angie90]

as promised, this is my baby.. yes I know it needs to be a bit lower lol
