NWC - Your other rides.

I know for some, if not most, your jeep is not your daily driver and/or you have other cars that you drive.

Lets see em.

I'll play 1971 Ford Pickup.
Looks like this:

Soon to look like this:

My past ride: 1968 ford F250 (Ye Olde Stock Heep in the background getting a new carb and tune up):

I'm bored... Nice chop, lol.
My daily. Nothing old school like those Fords, but it does drive like a Caddy.

jeepboy381 · Jan 14, 2008

You never see those older Fords dropped like that, everyone always drops Chevy's and lifts Fords it seems like. I think your newest Ford is going to be pretty cool looking even though it is not my thing.

I don't think there is enough band width to list my "past cars" not alone picture them so I will stick with present only

My Daily Driver: 2005 Limited Grand with 5.7 Hemi (BB and 265's)

My wifed DD and our tow rig: 2001 Ex 7.3 PSD, 8" lift and 38's

My toy: 1989 XJ 4.5" lift and 33's

My next project: 1988 RR (awaiting LOTS of time and money)

Im getting rid of my "other" cars before I move but Ill post them anyway.
Dump Hauler-1985 dodge 4x4 318/435/208/d44/chry 9.25 with custom a/c

and this is my DD, Im going to miss this one but the Jeep won when deciding what would be more practical. I am postponing putting it up for sale, if I find a LARGE bag of money in the next couple weeks I will ship this one and the Jeep.
1986 Porsche 944, only mods are to the stereo. Alpine deck, infinty speakers-4x6 plates in the door, 5.25 for the rear seats and a 12" sub brings in the "boom"

Yeah I'm tired of going to shops and asking for dropped I beams and/springs and getting asked if I'm lowering a Chebby or a Jimmy-C. And then come to find out, NOONE makes dropped springs/shackles/ perches or anything for these trucks. And drop I beams are $600+ a set.

XJ_Owner · Jan 14, 2008

am I the only other guy in here who drives a toyota now-a-days?

Well this is my "project" car
1982 Toyota corolla "drift" edition (this kind of car is rare to find)

Custom rims

Got kennwood stereo system with alpine speakers
She aint the best lookin car but she runs great.
Hopefully imma swap in a toyota supra Twin Turbo engine out of a '93 supra

Last but not least my jeep

I also have a '95 ford escort waiting to have a ford racing engine put in it with a ford racing style body kit... imma have to get pics of it later

mud1059 · Jan 14, 2008

lol, I can't believe you drive a hiachi. I think that's right, I forget. Those things in Japan would sell for 10k. U could buy a mid 90s Supra or Skyline for 2-3k. Those were GOLD! I bet it's a fun little car.

TRSCobra · Jan 14, 2008

I'm down to two vehicles right now; the jeep and my '86 Camaro Z28.

Bring on the mullet jokes!

88manche · Jan 14, 2008

It's a '51 Packard 200. It ran/drove great, just needed restoration. Sold it for $1200 in '06.

As for my mullet ride, it's an ongoing project. Currently running 14.1 @ 97mph with a reman (parts store) 350, mild cam, and bolt ons. I'm thinking either a set of heads or 3500 stall converter this summer to get me well into the 13's. Hard to believe I've owned it for 8 years already!

Man, i love old cars like that. Theyre just so.... neat.

I hope i can get my project into the 14's at least. My automotive class at Benson Highschool is trying to put together a race team to go out to the drags this summer at PIR or wodburn, i cant remember which one. So far, I'm the only american car in. Go figure....

the someday autocross/drag car

the summer cruizer

WheelinJR · Jan 14, 2008

I only have toys from the past...all I have right now is my Jeep. I played with Hondas for a while, but I grew bored with them after a few years...The most memorable would be these...

98 Integra LS, bone stock with GS-R transmission. Japanese 4x114 Integra-R suspension, and cold ass AC...I loved driving that car...so comfy.

1995 Honda Civic SI hatchback with a 98 Integra 1.8L GS-R swap and 99 SI short ratio transmission. Nice suspension upgrades and alot of fun on the backroads.

This was the first car I ever bought and paid off. I think I purchased it 7 years ago or so. 1995 Honda Civic EX ABS Coupe. Went through a handful of engines, including swapping to a 5 speed, car was auto from the factory. Last setup when sold was factory 1.6 sohc with a mistu 14b turbo, ran a 13.6@100mph w/1.8 60' (BFG DR's) at 10psi. I never was much of a drag racer...I enjoyed turning way more.
