1990 HONDA ACCORD EX-R

It's a great car. Drives well turns great, All it really needs is some more power under the hood. I got it up to 180 km going from the Pitt-river bridge to Harris road. That was fun.

I like my car but my dream car would be a Lamborghini
Happy Gamming

It's an ancient thread but...a good topic a slight revival wouldn't hurt.
Anyway, I have 1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, pretty much still in stock form + and - a few items and needs work in various spots. If you have never heard of them they are AWD, turbo, and only 3009 imported to the US. Fun cars to drive. On the hunt right now for a new daily driver though.

besides imports, I like the old school muscle, grew up around GTOs. Here's a couple pics of my brother's

Nice, I love VR4's! They are hard to come by!

Here's my baby, she'll be gone soon though. It's going to be a very, very sad day :(

99' 2.5RS with lots of JDM goodies, a few engine/suspension mods. I was going to swap her this summer, but I'm transferring to WWU in the fall so no time/money for that
now :(

And a few my my friends 93 Impreza wagon swapped with a V1 STi complete drivetrain, painted the Nur-Spec R34 Skyline green and molded fender flares. We call it the baby eatting wagon.

Nice and clean! Too bad you have to get rid of it, maybe you will pick up a GVR4 down the road lol, there is a good amount of them out here, 2 out in the Yakima Area, 3 around Seattle, 2 up here in Northern WA, and about another 6 or 7 down between Vancouver-Portland.

The vr4 hasn't run since March, but since I'm leaving in a few weeks for a year long deployment, it's going down to a friend's shop next weekend, to begin the rebuild process. Going 2.3 stroker, having the trans rebuilt (5th gear went out, 2nd grinds), then some anti-rustoration done to the rear underbody (East coast car). I've done a lot already replacing all the suspension/brake components on the rear for rust. On the plus side it has a modified Evo 8 suspension and converted to speed density.

no modifications yet, except window tint, which I should have done darker, but it still looks pretty good at night

Unfortunately my 1968 Pontiac Catalina 400 was hit by a drunk driver while parked out in front of my house a while back. It was the day before I was going to take it down to my garage for a re-spray. You'll have to click the pictures since they are too big to add in-forum. I was going to repaint it the beautiful factory blue.

The bastard just opened his door and ran away after the crash (at 1:30am). He was driving the ford escort (front wheel drive) and got scared while going about 80mph down my block. The dumbass obviously didn't know anything about his fathers FWD car, hits the brakes, slides 50 feet, and goes right into my car. If he had just gave it a little more gas and turned into it this wouldn't have happened. He didn't have any insurance either so I'm still in the process of taking them both to court.

Hopefully you get that stuff sorted out, how bad was the damage underneath the panels? totally messed up? It does look pretty bad on the corner, but structural integrity wise underneath could be a different story. Would be sad to see another one of those classics off the road :icon_cry2: , besides the GTOs my brother has, he's got a 64' and 63' Catalina (63' just to possibly fix up and sell)...bit of a Pontiac guy :icon_cool: .

The frame is bent (actually folded over) if you look closely at the third picture. I wouldn't even know what to use to straighten that out. It would be a lot of work to fix, and although I have some experience with minor body work I have never had to weld anything (especially an entire rear quarter pannel and a decent amount of the trunk). The damage estimate was 10-17 thousand dollars if done professionally. However, I don't plan to get rid of it anytime soon, so It's a possible project for the future.

I have many many musclecars. Here is my favorite since I've had it forever. Saved from the crusher and was literally just the back half of the empty shell and a bare frame.

1969 SS396 Chevelle
468 cid engine w/534 hp
Tuned suspension for autocrossing.
