Pretty cool cars here, gutted we don't get V8 Prados (4runners) and the Pontiac Trans Sport is interesting.

I drive an old Mitsubishi Diamante Mivec (old Gen 1 Mivec like Vtec) has 270hp from a quad cam 3.0L V6,cost $1300 and has electric everything and is my first auto car. Bought it to go away on a road trip a few years back and kept it.

 

Hoping to start using my 4ws car as a daily later in the year or early next.

Pics of the Diamante.

These will have to do for now, living in a motel while earthquake damage is repaired and my computer and camera are in storage.

This is not mine, my one still has the factory bbs alloys and is not lowered.

My Starion really only gets driven to shows or friday night cruising so I drive my other cars much more frequently. When I want AC in my daily driver I usually drive my 01 Grand Am GT..

If I want some open air cruising, I drive my 93 300ZX convertible...

If the wife and I are going somewhere, or she's not using it, I drive her 2010 Kia Forte Koup...

We also have a 94 F150 5.0 5speed for when I need to haul something, and are in the process of getting a 91 Coupe DeVille on 22's in trade for some work.

DD = 1987 Chevy Full-Size Blazer

My Son drives my 1973 El Camino

And we have 2 Conquests. Starting build on one of the Conquests for road racing in January. The other is a parts car or maybe a second race car in the future; depends on if the first one gets tore up (hope not).

Will add pics later when I get off work.

Coke, please correct me if I am wrong, but the R/T model only came as a coupe with stripes in limited colors. Blue, Black. I dont know if it came in red.

 

Also, that Neon has a Chrysler badge.

 

The R/T model was not limited to Coupe.

 

Besides, the 2nd Generation Neon never came in Coupe form. They were all Sedans.

 

The stripes were only on the 1st Generation Neon R/T's.

 

The 2nd Generation Neon R/T had a special R/T front bumper with a lower front lip, a special R/T rear bumper with dual cutouts for the special R/T dual outlet muffler. All R/T's came with 16" Silverstone mesh wheels. Leather seats were an option, which mine has. They were all equipped with a special R/T 5-Speed manual transmission, and a High-Output 2.0L SOHC 16V engine, making 150hp. The difference is in the cylinder head, camshaft, intake manifold (with secondary butterflies that open at certain RPM windows), and exhaust header. Yes, R/T's have a factory header. The PCM is also significant, with a hotter tune.

 

The R/T for the 2nd Generation Neon was available in Red, Black, Silver, and I think White.

 

Yes, mine has a Chrysler Neon grille installed. What you don't see, is the Chrysler airbag installed on the steering wheel. ;) These are all "BUX-Code" items (Export).

I daily drive my S2000

And weekend ride my R6

Hoping to switch to a Lotus Exige if I can ever get myself to stop spending money

 

 

I also had a 07' S2000 until about a year ago and was going to step up to a Lotus Elise which I figured is the only option up when it comes to ride stiffness and that go cart feeling but a baby came into the picture, I had no choice but to buy a family car so the obvious choice was a EVO VIII. Lol.

The conquest in my sig isn't quite up to daily driver par yet (no heat), but it will be my daily except for bad weather before spring I'm pulling the motor to clean up under the hood a little, replacing the interior and doing some tweaks.

 

87 mr2 for bad weather, sold my 86 to buy the quest with and I miss it so I'm putting together an 87 for crappy days, good gas mileage.

 

90 gmc sierra for hauling, ugly but reliable, and currently all I drive.

 

91 corvette zr1, just picked it up and it needs some work (sat for several years), it will remaing mostly stock and driven only on nice days.

 

82 honda cbx, I ride as much as I can, this bike is amazing! 1147 big bore kit, 6 into 1 header, k&n pods, kossman extended swingarm and widened rear wheel, one of the most amazing sounding engines I've ever heard!

Such a small world, those bikes are uber rare. The first bike I ever rode on pavement was a '79 CBX. I like the looks of the early bikes much better. I will agree that the sound is unique to itself, you'll never hear anything like it. We had two here at the house up until last winter, a red '79 my father purchased new in 1980, and a black '79 he picked up when I was in elementary school.

 

Yours must really scoot with that big bore kit. :o

 

Here's our black bike, it was piped with a Kerker dual 3-1 setup, jetted and dyno tuned:
