Default Question for everyone

What are your goal(s) with your car(s)?

I'll let you know what mine are when I get them figured out[&:][:@]

hmm for now nothing really except a dual exhaust. im kinda saving my money so i can get my girlfriend into the states. thats my first priority, she really is more important to me than my car.

but in the future here is my list of goals.

4.10 gears
3.9L with an eaton M112
18" cobra R wheels
a new left fender
a two tone paint job, black from the hood and trunk lines down, and silver for the top

so far

1. new tint
2. paint job (maybe a diff color, but prob not b/c black looks good on foxes)
3. running ponies for sides and new ford emblem for back
4. cam (maybe)
5. ranger header (maybe)
6. have intake ported (maybe)

depending on how long i'm gonna have it i may get a 2.5 crank and forged internals. if i went to 3.73 gears what all is involved?

Always a good question.

In order I would make my list like this.
85 svo
1. new paint and lights (already have the lights and it's getting painted currently)
2. new carpet
3. new stand alone (bought a spectre and am selling old system)
4. new rim tire combo
5. better stereo
6. new quieter but better flowing exhaust
7. a/c
8. brake upgrade in the front (have the spindles,calipers and rotors already)
9. built a custom intake


Goal is to go faster while adding a/c and a stereo. Stop better while looking even nicer then before. Have a nice exhaust that isn't so loud. Make even more power with the new turbo set up.

This threads the same so far as the "WHat Parts" thread

so to try to get what I think Sleeper meant in the first place.

My goal is to break 300 kph on 4 wheels, I dont care what car it is

So far ive gotten up to 205 and with my speed limiter removed the BMW will do about 230 stock,

So maybe mod it a bit (cams) have the rev limiter bumped up and get a chip for it and maybe it will be about 250-260....... Motor swap to a I6 and some tuning to get to 300, no idea....

But yeah, 300 kph street car, im thinking the Mustang is only going to be a fun weekend car with torque and lots of ***** but no high revving top end power like the BMW

96-92 Ford Ranger...

Black paint..lowered (not toooo much in the front but enough to see the change)
same cooper tires I had on my stang.
5 star stang rims (or some other american racing rim)
one of them 80 Lund Sunvisors for the windshield :P
Clear headlights corners etc.
2.3 5Spd.
Then I was going to Diamond plate the bed..
tint the windows 5%
then change the interior if not already from the 86 to the 92s. Then replace the seats with captains chairs from a new windstar :P

well that is my goal anyway..Theres plenty of rangers out there...

Get the hatchback looking nice and running right and use it fora Hydrogen Enrichment lab rat car in an effort to reach 70mpg so I can afford an 03 Cobra and then really go fast
