Post pics of what you drove before your s197

like the front end you put on it too.

best picture i have of it on the comp. 94 mustang gt, 5.0 bought it with 220k miles on it, blew the first t-5 within a month of owning it, rebuilt it, and after i got my 07, i sold my 94 to my brother, he just blew up the t-5 i rebuilt. so once again its sitting down on the work bench in the basement.

before that,my first driven car a 1990 probe gl, had for like 6 months, just a starter car, got for 350 bucks, learned to drive stick in it.


my first first first car though, is a 1996 thunderbird. bought it for 350 bucks with a knock. had plans to rebuild it, bought it when i was 14. my dad was going to rebuild it with me. something always came up though, so it kept getting pushed back and back and back. a few months ago me and my friends decided to spend a little bit of time gutting it. i want to do a 351w stroker in it, nice set of aluminum heads and everything, but the main thing thats putting me off is the rear end.

its a IRS, and i am building the car for drag racing. a solid rear isn't a direct swap. most people just build up the irs. i found a 4 link kit i believe it was around 400 bucks. included the upper and lower control arms, mounts that you weld to the body and mounts you weld to the rear. it was adjustable too.

once i get the rear end settled in that car i'll be more motivated to get working on it, but for now, its sitting there flat black and gutted.

2005 Honda Accord EX V6
Satin Silver Metallic

That car was my baby for two years. I definitely miss that sixth gear.

She had a creaky driver's seat that drove me bat-***** crazy though. Sad to say that played a significant role in my decision to trade her in...

Before the Accord I had a couple Integras. Well three of them actually. I thought they were the greatest cars on the road.

good idea for a thread. My previous car:




That is where my screen name came from. It was a diesel. (on a previous forum, silverdiesel was taken, so I figured I'd go with grey. I joined stangnet before I purchased the mustang, so I used the same old name.) That thing pumped out 150 ft-lbs of torque, and would run on veggie oil. It was fun, but super slow. Notice I did not mention the parsley 90hp. I'll tell you, going from 90hp to 300hp it quite mind blowing. It took a good month before I could comfortably put the pedal to the floor in the mustang.

The thing about the VWs is the paint. At certain times of day it looked like it was glowing. It is my dream to get a thick luxurous coat of paint put on the stang.

Here was my baby,

Black Rose Metallic 1994 Chevy Beretta Base, 46,000 miles on it when I baught it.

I converted it to OBII and swapped in 3800 Supercharged from a 2002 Monte SS.

-KYB Gas Adjust shocks and struts
-Eibach Pro-Kit
-Borla Full Exhaust, High flow cats
-K&N Intake
-Mantapart front and rear sway bars
-18" 5Zigen rims with Eagle F1 FSD3 tires
-GTZ spoiler
-Painted Mirrors and door panels









248HP, 2,490lbs.

P.S. I got soooo much crap for doing that to MY Beretta

unfortunately I dont have any pics but I had a 2000 Danger Ranger, lol, that thing was beyond slow.

Where's the passenger seat?

2000 V6 Mustang. I had bought it brand new, and when I sold it in 2007 (2 years and 4 days ago, to be exact), it had a hair over 30k miles on it.
