Anybody know if there was an ST look pack for the previous gen Fiesta? Because I found one that has bumpers that look like the ST ones.
That one is just weird, looks like a Zetec trim level car but it doesn't even have a stock cassette/CD player. Meh

Found these two. Should be worth a look.

You want to look at the S / Zetec-S cars for the ST bodykit, bigger alloys and firmer suspensions. Go for the TDCi as well, this thing goes like stink! I miss mine :'(
 
At the streetlight downstairs from my apartment a Porsche Cayenne just pulled away with one of the most glorious noises I've ever heard. an aftermarket exhaust, right?
 
Depends. Porsches tend to sound good stock as well. I head a Panamera S blasting through traffic one day and the V8 sounded incredible, should be the same with the Cayenne.
 
I just rode for 15 min in the back of a 2000-ish Isuzu Rodeo.

Worst. Suspension/ride. Ever.

The slightest bumps provoked filling loosening jolts from the rear suspension. It's that hard. I thought CR was being harsh on dinging this thing for the ride, but nope. Its awful.

with no weight over the wheels that's a very real possibility.
 
FG New Englanders: buy this car, please!

Seriously, our family has to clear some room in our garage, so I'm selling this for my mom as well as my Yamaha...and I can then pave the way to buy something for myself. Like, say, a Triumph TR6. So, Finalgearers, please: think of the British sports cars.

Also, I wrote $11,500 on the ad, but ideally we'd like to see it gone for $10k. For you, my friend, I make you special price!

There's a reason that even during the height of the SUV craze, Isuzu USA struggled to sell most of their models. Also why they're not here any more.
 
Half a minute after getting onto the interstate, I come across the scene of a newly-happed car accident with glass everywhere. Ten minutes ago, a showing of Fast Five just finished. Coincidence?
 
The hell?
 
Probably has a blown compressor.

It almost certainly started out life in Canada - they were the only country to get 2+2 Turbos.

Is the dash covered in leather or does it only look like that? Also, the alloys that come with it look really, really nice.

Well, my avatar sums up my previous post pretty well.

Don't worry you Anime fan you. Singing anime girls will come back, it's just a small memorial service for Latin American's only "proper" anime channel finally dying, we can continue this in the Anime thread if you want.

@Z31, yeah yeah nice, but I still have massive amounts of want for a Black Gold 280ZX

Nothing to do with who or what the avatar is, only that it's different and therefore not immediately recognized :lol:

It's vinyl-covered. Molded in stitching, etc., etc.

Sadly, I've seen worse dashes in modern counterparts. Mitsubishi, I'm looking at you.
