Can it beat a ferrari on sunset highway?
Heh F&F... that one was a non-turbo! 225HP as standard! But then they literally replaced the engine in the film. And I'm a bit far from Sunset highway
Erm tho I've beaten a ferrari maranello... does that count? I have been completely whooped by a Bugatti though. Those things are just stupid stupid quick.
It's not your average 'saturday night special' or 'rice rocket though'. Replacing radiator, crank oil seal a few other bits. Will try and polish the engine bay and take a couple of shots. It's my every day drive so it's fine unless you put your foot down.
Plans to take it up to 750RWHP are in progress
Then it's changing gear ratios and seeing if I can take it up past 200mph on a strip...Thanks for the appreciation guys! They're a lovely motor and you'd be surprised how cheap you can buy one for now (circa £7000 for a mint twin-turbo)

Man that sounds sweet.
A supra has always been on my list of most wanted cars.
They're just so fun to drive.
I don't think I've posted these here. My e39 540i. Currently very, very dirty... it rains every day so I haven't bothered to wash it in a month and a half.

Gorgeous. I love the angel eyes.
Thanks... I had Neuspeed RS-10's on it before these and they were awesome wheels for sure (19lb 19" Forged) but I really like the look of the CH's better, especially on this car.
Thank you and thank you Subaru. I had to grow up from my old STi and the Legacy was the right fit. The other great thing is I never see this car out here in California. I see BMW's everywhere but never my Legacy. I love it!
My baby
No longer a twin turbo, converted to single turbo with new engine management system. 525 rwhp @ 1.2 bar
Clean. Very nice.
they are awsome cars arent they!! i wish i could get one, (or any subie for that matter-we call them subie's around here haha).
i have to get a sporty wrx first before i 'upgrade' to the upper-class liberty (legacy as you know it)
I completely agree. Ruins the whole look of the car imo. And thats an infinity.
Still an amazing car though.
I just got in my new turbo today and I just bought a set of 04 STi Springs and Struts for my Forester! I will post pics when everything is installed.
They are low profile as far as i can see, just the lip on the wheels are black, so it makes the tire look a lot taller.
Nice G37. And, I disagree with the others above me. I really LIKE the clean look of a car with no emblems on it. If you don't know what the car is without a logo, well then, apparently you need to research it more. I think it looks good.
But, I think the black lip on the wheels looks weird. I like the wheels, and a decent amount of lip is aces looking. But, with the lip being black, as noted above me, it makes it look like the wheels are small, and the tires have HUGE sidewalls. It just has a weird "feel" to it.
But overall, I really like the car. I really like the G/Z cars.
yup i agree with you.
no emblems or anything make the car look a lot cleaner, especially since the car is white like that.
yup, debadged is the clean way to go...one of the first things I did to my car (left the manufacturer emblem on tho...those might change soon tho!)
