Bored with the wife out of town and thought I'd clean up my photobucket account.
Here are a few pics of my Mustang, my sold Cobras and my brother's Terminator '86GT:

My '91 LX w/ build pics:
91angle.jpg

Dirty pic, unfortunately lost my good ones cleaned up with the Bogart track wheels. It has a fully built pump gas 427" 351 stroker that made 452/448 at the tires on a loaded Mustang dyno and ran 11.47@125 with a bad tune and TKO 5-speed with a bad 2nd gear. I have since swapped the pistons and cam to make it turbo friendly and it made 520/500 on the engine dyno break-in. Goal is to make 800/800 at the tires on low boost. It will look just like this on the outside, so its a little bit of a sleeper. And yes, it will still have a stick---modified TKO 600/MMR 900 and Sped 3+.

Pic from when it was a mild H/C/I 302 and ran 12.60s. It has Baer brakes as well.

Mineral gray '01 traded in on the '04.

'04 was the best car I've ever owned and man I miss it. Sold it with 7800 miles before I moved to Chicago last year, no point of having that car in the city.
This is the '97 SHO I bought in June with only 9700 miles. I drove it until last month and sold it to a good friend to by my SVT Contour. It was a very nice car but I wanted a stick and better mpg:

My brother's '86 GT with a 2400 mile '03 Cobra motor. He did ALL the work himself and it runs consistent 10.70s. This was my car in HS, but its a little nicer and faster now:

My 13,500 mile '99 CSVT just got delivered on Friday and my wife will be home with it in a few hours, so I'll get some pics up of it soon if the weather cooperates.
Hope you guys like the pics, any comments or questions welcomed.
Post pics of your other rides, I'd love to see them.

my 93 bmw 325i, it was a fun car, had like 173k, never heard a noisier engine, loved the car but had too much rust
325i.jpg


My 95 maxima, this car was a piece and had so many problems at only a 100k, it was really powerful though and had so much room, I did like some parts of it

I had another maxima for a few hours (a 2000 SE) that got returned to the seller after about an hour to get my money back because the transmission was screwed.

Hmm, hard to define what the 'other' car is now-a-days. Guess the MS6 is the mainly the daily driver.

This is for weekends in the mountains...which now has scratches and dents all over it :laugh:

yeah,still here. "might" be getting another tour:shrug: nah,not a big deal
 
I thought i had some better pics, but I guess i never uploaded them

'91 Escort GT
Mazda 1.8BPT swap with about 180hp. Never got it dyno'd so i'm not sure what it did at the wheels

Pic before swap and paint job. This car was a great sleeper. I miss her :cry:

That beamer looks nice... Was it just rusted underneath?

On the grey side skirts(rocker panels basically) there was a small hole in the passenger side, and also behind the license plate it had a good bit, and in both rear wheel wells there were minor spots, which I fixed, under the doors, it was just too much for me to deal with. I put a lot of work into that car but it just drove great especially at high speeds even though it wasn't as fast as my csvt. The MAIN reason I sold it is after I put a new clutch in, at the same time I put a newer trans in because I just thought it'd be a good idea, the trans turned out to be a piece of :censored::censored::censored::censored: and the second gear synchro wouldn't let me put it into gear over 4500 rpms, so I sold it before it started grinding and having problems at normal driving rpms.
 
The two cars I currently own are my 99 CSVT and a 94 Ford Probe SE.
Here is the very first pic I tok of the CSVT: BONE STOCK
standard.jpg


and now in her current modified state:

The winter beater 94 Ford Probe:

The two previous cars were a 96 Contour SE and a 89 Ford Probe LX.
I loved the probe and it never gave me any problems. The motor and tranny finally went after 202,000 miles.

And finally the Contour SE that I bought after the 89 Probe:

Thanks for the compliments. You guys have some nice rides too.
My wife should be home in about an hour, too bad it has rained the whole way and the car had been fully detailed. Oh well.
Here is my wife's ride, 2000 Maxima 20th anniversary. I just put on 18" G35 wheels (with Nissan caps) so I took a pic:
001.jpg

I would like her to sell so we can buy a Lincoln Aviator, but she won't do an SUV unless its an Escape hybrid :shrug:

How are those Probe's? I always thought about getting a GT, but i kept hearing about reliability issues with them.
