Sinister 2,578 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Yes it is a compact. Most everything in the states is a compact or midsize these days. Aside from some SUVs and trucks, the days of large vehicles has passed. Edited June 16, 2017 by SINISTER120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zztop911 1,609 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Finally put the 2017 Mustang GT wheels on the LX Sport to see how much I need to drop it. I think one inch will be fine. These wheels fit absolutely perfect. I'm going to fully rebuild the front and rear suspension. I already have all the brake parts and have been looking for front control arm options. Moog stopped making their premium assembled lower control arms for this model, so If I want to use their premium line, I have to buy parts and do it myself. No real biggie, it's just a hassle. This model basically has the cop car suspension, so I don't think I'll up the swaybars. I will replace the rear control arms with solid aftermarket with greasable poly bushings to minimize any slop in the rear and do the same with the Watts link. I'll do a minimal sound system, but somewhat better than stock. When this is done, I will pull my 03 Mach1 out of the race trailer and begin it's return to the street with a 2015+ Coyote engine and a 6R80 auto swap. The engine and tranny that's currently in it should pay for the swap if I plan well. I just want something more streetable and with twins and a 3 spd auto. that doesn't get it done for me anymore.

A 1-2” drop would work really well. They look like they stick out a bit, no risk of tire rub on the arches?

It will be firm enough without losing much suspension travel and easy alignment. 1 Quote I only grow in living soil! Because Fat Buds Matter!

JustHatched 12,103 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I spend most of my time in a 2010 Chevy HHR. It is the delivery vehicle for our flower shop The family vehicle is a 2003 GMC Yukon XL (seats 7 which is what we need) Getting ready to restore a 2002 GMC Yukon (5 seater) for when a couple of the kids are out on their own we can part ways with the 7 seater. And mine is a 1991 Chevy S10 4 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Sinister 2,578 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I have a 1995 Chevy Caprice Station Wagon. That is the toy that sits more than anything else. So I also have a 2015 Chevy Sonic that is my daily driver. The cars are a little dirty in this picture that was taken a few hours after Hurricane Irma made its run through town. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel 5,180 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I drive my girlfriend crazy. I don’t need a car so don’t actually own one. My daily commute is less than 50 metres, if I’m going anywhere further afield I’m usually having a drink so driving wouldn’t be an option anyway. On top of that the city where I live is one of the countries worst for uninsured drivers and crazy drivers. I saw a crash the other week and both sets of occupants fled the scene leaving the cars where they ended up. I’ve seen drivers cross into oncoming traffic just to avoid waiting at red lights. It’s almost as if most of the drivers here got their license in downtown Karachi. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleg213 746 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Currently an old 1.9TDI A6 estate. I hate it but it's economical, reliable and does the job. I want to replace it but at the moment it's I can't find anything that tickles my fancy. Don't do much mileage at the moment as I use the Metro for going into Uni so either considering a Jap 4x4 pickup or something like that which I can use to tow or get something like a V8 5 series and buy another van. I may have some other cars lying about as well, but they never get used for day to day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aslad 376 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) A 2011 Vauxhall Corsa D SXi It's not much, only a 1.2l engine lol (with a whopping 85 hp), but insurance is cheap and it gets me from A to B. Fondly nicknamed Greg. If you're wondering why it looks like it's parked in a field next to some abandoned building site... I don't know what to tell you really, because that's exactly where it is lol. No real reason except I wanted to get some photos and didn't want to look like a prat in the car park at my university accommodation 😛 Edited February 22, 2019 by Aslad 3 1 Quote No, I didn't misspell Salad Vauxhall Corsa D (dead) Hyundai Coupe TSIII Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythaga 312 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) A 10 year old Honda Civic Type-S... Its looking a bit past its sell by date, a couple of little dents and scratches but its still going strong. Sailed through its MOT recently, nowt needed doing. Never broke down or needed any major repairs (apart from wear and tear stuff, and a new clutch couple of years ago) Only thing wrong with it is the bloody air con has packed in! I was toying with the idea of buying a new car, but didn't see anything within my price range that tickled my fancy, so going to hang on to it until it dies...Which being a Honda could be a while lol Edited February 22, 2019 by Mythaga 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
