So what are you driving?

Doodee

Thought about asking this question a while ago, just wondering what most people on the board drive.

Me, I have a provie A license so im riding around on a 125cc Suzuki Intruder.

Love it too bits. By far the best thing i have ever purchased.

Post pics if u have any

I drive a 1995 White Opel Corsa 1.2L 5-door with standard rims (though I'd like alloys). Done 10k since last August and it's not given any bother yet anyway (touch wood). The one thing I love about it is the Pioneer DEH 7500MP headunit I installed on day of purchase!

rymus

currently driving a 650cc drag star classic. Having owned a 125cc intruder in the past I can agree with you Doodee, theyre the business

I reckon my next purchase will be a complete change; I've been looking at a BMW R1150GS with some interest. I may also look at the R1200GS with the same level of interest

Verdammt

I'm currently driving a 1978 Suzuki GS550E. Best way of decribing it is its like a sherman tank with 2 wheels and about as manouverable, but i love it.

Nice focus man! I used to drive a lovely 93 jap civic with a nice set of 16"s, cd head unit etc. Unfortunatly cos i now work for myself i now drive a 02 VW caddy which irritates me being a van. Its a rocket tho 1.9 TDI and will beat an awful lot of cars off the line! Theres nothing better then pulling up to a muppet in a badly done up car and making a laugh of him in a van!

I do have the best mod i've ever bought tho! Rockford Fosgate MP3 headunit. Reads CDRs and CDRWs with up to 200 MP3s on them, displays filenames etc. Great cos once you get sick of the music you have u just burn a new CD and can pretty much carry your entire music collection in a small cd wallet.

Have a '93 CRX Del Sol, buty looks like I'll be selling soon to get a diesel now that I live down the bog

I have a 96 Honda Civic 1.5 VTi, black, 3 Door Hatch. Some small Mods, exhaust, induction Kit, Ecotek Valve and Sony MDX-MP70 CD/MP3 Player...

I have a 03 Hyundai Getz 1.1, they call the colour green bean. It's pretty much the same as it left the showroom. Nice stereo...

I wholeheartedly agree ... MP3 headunits are the greatest invention ever ... well maybe just in the realm of ice for cars !!

All I have to do now is install the rest of my sound system :rolleyes:

I drive a 95 Honda Integra Si

@BrockLanders - whats the Spec on the Del Sol ? is it b16 in light blue ?

full forward

Im currently driving a Peugeot 406 Coupé. One of Pininfarina's finest hours. Its not very fast or anything but its the car I've always wanted. I have it three years now.

kink933766

My car is a 1998 1.5 Honda Civic LSI Vtec Saloon - it's a little big - but it's pretty fast..
..I haven't had the chance to do any modding yet - as I'm still under warrenty, and since it's a secondhand car I might need it...
- Oh I did change the headunit to a Clarion Mp3 unit from Argos, it was the best deal available - It's brilliant unit, however now I have to change all the interior lighting to blue/white to match it - won't happen for another 4 months..
- The car is kept 100% original by it's previous owner, an elderly lady, even the original mats are still there.
It's on a mix of tyres, on it's original alloys - and it has the Vtec spoiler - quite nice I think.... At the moment it's silver - I think though that I'll get myself a Carbon bonnet - a set of nice black/ black chrome 15 - 17" alloys, adjustables and a Blade kit, and have the whole thing sprayed metalblack...should all be doable for less than 3g....methinks...

ohhhh, yeah I'd love me one of those.. after the RS Focus ofcourse

How do you find the type R for daily driving?

BTW padraig, nice car. Not to heavily modded, looks excellent

kopijack

lol focus smokus

RS is nice though....apart from the bluey interior, just not my taste really, don't like the standard wheels on it either:cool:


I find the type R for daily driving pretty reasonable for what it is! of course the irish roads are a bit harsh but the suspension does pretty well (the RS did seem to have some problems with everyday roads and keeping the thing on the road:p )

You drive it like you want to really, you can doddle around town or slip onto a twisty road and get more smiles per miles:D

Think the gearbox is excellent once you get used to it....ya can't knock it until ya try it!

I have got a Skunk2 Exhaust system on it and also have Carbon induction Kit but changing it to a AEM V2 induction kit....very soon

1992 BMW 318is coupe.

Exactly the same as this but with an irish number plate Cant afford to get some decent wheels for it yet.

I wholeheartedly disagree...MP3 units in the boot with removable 60G hard drives are the best ever. Now all I have to do is buy one for this :

This is what i'm driving at the mo...



Its a Nissan 100NX 1.6 T-bar roof, i always wanted one when i was younger and i've had this the past 2 years now and loved it, especially in the summer. I'm still at college now being just 22 years old so i'm waiting another year or 2 till i get something real good...i was thinking about getting a celica last summer but i think i'll keep my cents for a new koenigsegg....hahaha....i doubt!

Yeah, i got that HU for Christmas, goes great with my 12 changer in the boot. One thing I don't like about it is the speed in which it can read MP3's. It would be nice to update the Firmware with some more entertainment movie videos, you know the Dophins and Cars.

Between myself and herself we've got a Toyota Avensis, Toyota RAV4 and a Ford Ka. Not sure why we need 3, just never got around to sorting out which one to get rid of (if it were up to me, all 3 would be out the feckin door). I will be buying a new car sometime within the next 2 months (bought a new house; need to keep bank manager happy til after we move in). I've been thinking of an Impreza WRX, but both Axa and Quinn Direct have stopped insuring them recently so it's looking unlikely that I can get one just yet (I will someday regardless). Herself isn't too happy about that though. Like I care :rolleyes: I could compromise and get the Sportswagon. Or not.

Ever look at the Forester?

It's as roomy as the Rav4

red_ice

im driving an 1.4 ltr 02 mark 5 honda civic 3door

Ive had the car lowered 50mm, and im currently running on 18'' aloy wheels which considering getting rid off in the next 4 months for a set of dubs + full coilovers or hydrolics.

im only considering hydrolics for the simple fact that i cant really drive the car faster than 20 mph (for obvious reasons)

Atm, i have the callipers painted blue to match the paintwork, and the engine block is done the same to match the paintwork. im in the market for some proper matching caps/cables + induction kit and all that useless stuff that adds 3bhp but can colour code my car/engine even more

I hate you!!!!!

If it's not a RS4, don't make it look like one. It'll just look cheap. I'd go for something unique instead.

Uhm, you can. You need to download the Pioneer OEL Screensaver Studio. It can be downloaded here .

Screenie examples are here:
http://www.pioneer.co.jp/car/pclink2/

You'll probably have most of these already but probably not them all! Then when finished you need to copy onto a CDRW and put into the player and your instruction manual tells you the process for updating the firmware.

I appricate the commplement. Its not easy to modify a car tastefully, and I'm sure there are plenty of things I have done that others wouldnt like.
I like a sporty look without being garishm
My last mod was the lexus-style lights, and I'm still not sure about them, I think they look well on the car, but they are just getting far too popular at the moment.
Also I really have to fix the tail-pipes!

Me too, I have a Dension MP3-player with a 120Gb hard drive, its got about 1000 CD's on it and its only 1/2 full.
Best investment I've ever made for the car.

I've a 1200cc Suzuki Bandit, tarted up in the age old tradition of Bandits.

For gods sake, it's not as if I'm putting a spolier and "no fear" stickers on it. Just changing the front bumper and rear bumper to RS4, and get the alloys too. Like this picture...
