Feds 11-16-05 05:40 PM

1991 Dodge Ram 50. Regular cab, long box.

Rebadged Mitsu pickup with a stroked (2.4l) Talon motor, though the 8 valve head chokes it down to 108 hp. The 5 speed lets me keep it on boil though.

My FD is going to be my winter beater. :)

Ok nevermind... I'm not using my '84 GSL-SE for a winter beater anymore. I'm using my 1990 Festiva that I got for free. It has 108,000kms on it, runs like a brand new car, and is amazing on gas. It feels like I'm driving a golf cart. It has an automatic transmission so it's boring to drive. The 145 wire tires will be awesome in the snow though.

It sure is different from my other Festiva...

I'm going to be doing some things to my GSL-SE over the winter... ask Jimmy54 where I work :D

I have the beater of beaters......was my first car, owned since I was 13
1984 VW Jetta 2dr, yes 2 dr Jetta. with 310,xxxkms on it.

1.6L non-turbo diesel -rebuilt at 222,xxxkms, new brakes all around, new lines, re-lined gas tank, approx. 50mpg of 49bhp fun.

I'll take some pics of the exterior - hope you guys have strong bellys - its the new beetle green with ghosted falames - only a body man would drive that POS !!!lol

Only thing about the diesel is the damn starting.......if you don't have a block heater, you are toast man.

BUHAHAHHA, ok in reality that sucks, and your dad parted the van, what you going to drive.?

R.P.M. 11-26-05 12:10 PM

It was a 5 gear.....it blew the diff apart. Spider gears and peices of aluminum casing were bouncing down the road in my rear veiw mirror LOL
I'm back to driving the van, but the tranny in it is making very bad noises......Dodge caravan of course LOL.

ScrappyDoo 11-26-05 03:53 PM

Joe, you can pickup my Mx6 if you want. I am getting a van from the folks since they bought a new one and I am finally ready to admit I need a minivan. Anyhow, call me if you're interested.

B6T 11-27-05 01:52 AM

Are you selling the Protege or are you going to fix it?

R.P.M. 11-27-05 02:09 AM

I think I'll be putting some into it and fixing it.

Bass 11-28-05 08:33 PM

'88 Toyota pick-up (lots-o-rust) and '03 Matrix (new tranny already!)

If you get tired of the car... sell it to me. I'm the younger guy that works at the place with the orange 3-rotor FC in Etobicoke. I remember you came in once and were talking rotaries with Steve.

R.P.M. 11-29-05 11:51 PM

Ahhhh ok...actually I'm going to be visiting your shop tomorrow (hopefully). Maybe I'll see you then.

B6T: You don't happen to have an old-skool 323 do you? (89 and older). If so, do you want a set of 13" alloys for it? $50 obo.

Hey Jaymez has some sweet taste, either AWD or Underpowered RWD for the winter, thats what i want, i was thinking of trying to find a Subaru SVX for the winter, older car looks amazing, i like it alot, not as much as the 3rd 7's but still looks amazing, and it would be sweet for the winter. while i could use it as a summer winter beater, but that will all come in time when i get my aprenticeship going strong, thinking of appliying at some high end dealerships in Alberta, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, you know all those. after that it's all up hill cause the cars i want are fairly rare and expesive to maintain, but thats half the fun.
