2003 black V8 Ltd :arrow:
2000 black SR5 leather/load V6
A MINT 1989 BMW 325i, like 3 Civics (2000 DX, 1997 Si, 2002 Si), 91 Accord, 2 1993 Integras, 199something Nissan truck, a 1989 CRX Si, 1983 BMW 528 (first car)......probably another 1/2 dozen if I think harder. I'm buying a new Matrix in the next couple weeks to run around Toronto for the next 8 months as well.....

Here's the 325i before I sold it in August:




Gavin S. Your 328 and GS look slick, nice cars man! How did the S/C on the 328 drive?? Any dyno numbers? When I free up some money I want to build a turbo M3 soooooo bad

Like you, I drove a little car before getting the 4Runner. I now noticed other cars don't pull out in front of you. It was a 88 Acura Integra and I kept as a second car and just sold it last year. I had a option to buy another old car or keep it, see this thread.

My very first car was an 87 Celica GT Coupe, then a 89 Corolla DX. The car I drove right before the 4Runner was a 93 Celica GT

The 4Runner is my first "actual" car. I drove a 1999 Corolla LE before.

Northof49, thanks for the props. The SC was a an ASA kit running 6lbs of boost. It put about 250 to the wheels on a good day and ran pretty strong when it was cool out. Hot and humid sapped power pretty bad. The weak link was the shitty auto trans. Dumb to buy an auto BMW in the first place. It couldn't handle the extra torque and would throw a transmission light if you didn't drive it just so when you were getting on it. I assume you're talking about turboing a E36 M3 or maybe there's a kit for the E46s that's come out since I stopped hanging around E46Fanatics.com. I've seen some pretty badass E36 turbos putting crazy HP to the wheels, like 400+. I may buy one and boost it myself one day. Good luck with that project.

My last was an 88 Jetta GL, yes, fast cars! Still have the 82 Rabbit Convertable sitting in the shop awaiting the time when the arctic fun goes the h*** away so I can get to work restoring it. The backup car is an 86 mazda 626 I got for 200 bucks.

Have had:
79 Ford F150
79 Ford Bronco
85 Jetta
88 Jetta
82 Rabbit droptop
74 Dodge Roadrunner
74 Saab
and the first car was a 73 VW Dasher.

Next car: Another 4Runner so I don't have to fight the wife over this one all the time! (or another big Bronco...LOVE my Broncos!)

Here's a funny little video I took of my GS400 after I installed a high stall torque converter and exhaust.
