@Wolf Ever upgrade the radiator?Fightingfan
The radiator is fine... I had my heater core replaced last week, haven't had any problems yet
I hate four-runners, I had to fix one up, granted it was a 4cylinder model, I could out run the damn car from 0-60, I think it was like a 2001 though.2004 Toyota 4runner

I had one of those. It was a 94. I had to have my heater core replaced among other things[QUOTE="Wolf-Man2006"]
Pontiac Grand Am '93 GTSo far I love my car except it overheats too easily (I had to get my cylinder head and heater core replaced)

The main problem with 4th generation Grand Ams is that they overheat a lot. If you're going to spend about $2000 on a used 4th gen Grand Am, have extra for repairing the heater core, cylinder head, practically any part that involves the car's temperature
Convertible?FightingfanNah it won't work for me either. I have recurrent nausea and vomiting attacks so it's not safe for me to drive, even in a convertible. Besides I always had a fear of driving and losing control, especially if it's a manual stick car. So no, driving is definitely not for me.

4 cylinder 4runners were introduced in 2011.
Can't be because it was an inline four, I owned the car.It was a 98'-00.
*According to KBB you're wrong.

You're right, there are actually older 4runners with 4 cylinders.
I don't why anyone would buy a mid-size suv with a 4 cylinder.
I have a V8. Awesome vehicle.

I agree. I don't know WTF toyota was thinking putting a 4cyl in a SUV, it was horrible, I traded it for a 98 Dodge ram :PThe only reason I had it was because someone owned me money.

Hemi-magnum, it's predominately a work truck, but my Civic is getting painted and I can't wait to get my Turbo 4cylinder back, this Hemi takes too much gas :P Granted I ride her ruff too.[QUOTE="Fightingfan"]^ I use CCL, great deals.Domobomb_Not me, the vette there just looks like mine. I've got a silver interior though, and mirrored glass t-tops. I'm working on an 84 right now, the stupid hydaulic lights don't work, or at least one doesn't so it looks like someone punch my vette.

I have to have 4WD vehicle where I live. If there's snow on the ground, you won't make it up the driveway. If I could get a car, I would to save some cash... but I'd have to move first. :P
[QUOTE="Kurushio"]2011 Camaro. It's a manual and just a V6 but it's still well over 300hp especially with an Injen CAI.MaddenBowler10There's nothing wrong with a V-6..especially these days...
Especially since you'll save a decent amount of gas with a V6 engine
Well I own an RX8 and it's handling is astonishing, but if you care a lot about gas mileage then you may be somewhat disappointed, they stopped production on them so if you really want one, it's best to buy one now.'99 Chevy Cavalier Z24. Also have a '70 Mustang Mach 1. I'll most likely trade the Cavalier for a Mazda RX8 this summer. Been thinking of doing that for 3 years now and I think it's finally time.

I go through cars every year it seems like a pair of jeans haha. Currently I own a BMW 525xi and the wife drives an X3. I'm looking at adding a 3rd BMW but not sure if I want an older Pre '02 7 series or a '95-'96 840 or 850Ci. xXDrPainXxI think they are going to make the 8 series again in a few years..

Yeah its the i8 right now. Not sure if they are going to be full blown V8's or V12's but right now the 90's ones are selling for 10k and under so its a pretty good deal for a rare/semi-exotic sports car.
Not me, the vette there just looks like mine. I've got a silver interior though, and mirrored glass t-tops. I'm working on an 84 right now, the stupid hydaulic lights don't work, or at least one doesn't so it looks like someone punch my vette. I did not know they are hydraulic on the C4 vettes. On my C3 the lights raise by vacuum actuators. Its a fairly simple system on my c3. A pair of vacuum actuators that get vacuum from a vacuum tank, and are controlled by a pair of vacuum relays which are sent vacuum by a valve which is operated by the 'light switch' on the dash. Vacuum comes from the intake and is split to the tank, and the light switch valve. Vacuum.[QUOTE="Domobomb_"][QUOTE="Fightingfan"]^ I use CCL, great deals.Fightingfan

Really? Just painting your car red gives you like 50hwp+lol...never heard of someone gaining like 30hp from just installing CAI.

Oh yeah. And adding a massive spoiler with double sided tape will give you huge downforce, which is the equivalent of a 100hp at the wheels. You didn't know this? Just take a look at any honda civic message board. Tons of information there.lol...never heard of someone gaining like 30hp from just installing CAI.
