One word.....Neon.   Neon lights look good on any car   

Yeah right. I am, however, thinking about changing out the glovebox light with a blue neon or cold cathode light. Would look pretty cool at night

All you need to pick up Jersey chicks is a dashboard crown.

Forget the bigger turbo dawg.  Stickers!!  That's what you need.

Each sticker adds at least 5HP.  Sweet.

[ChadTower]

The sticker of a kid peeing on the Ford logo adds 15hp, I hear.

I think it'd be negative 15hp on a Volvo though... no sense in peeing on your parent.

[ChadTower]

That's the height of cool in Joizee.

But remember, no matter how pimped out your car is, there will always be someone pimper.  Like that guy with four hubcaps.

fuzzy dice..... don't forget teh fuzzy dice

[missioncontrol]

you know.. I have been thinking this college idea of yours....

what you need to do is join the military... perhaps we can get a network to take it on as a reality show....

[USSEnterprise]

Never joining the military

[missioncontrol]

why not....

[ChadTower]

The military doesn't come with a body kit.

Who cares when it was from, I wasn't posting a pic of the old Grace Slick.

a pretty tenuous link then...

[ChadTower]

Stop whining, you got a pic of a young Grace Slick out of the deal.

true, true. im most grateful. and im returning the favour



i have it on good authority that scarlett once heard 'we built this city' on the radio 

[danny_galaga]

to get back on the subject, USS heres a  write up of a fellow aussie arcade members project. it has a good build up section. gives an idea of cost and time, but also the beautiful results that can be acheived (if you have some cash ):

Looks like a late 60's era Ford falcon on that site?
500 HP got my attention. Be a lotta of fun at the drag strip.

FORD?! FORD?! thems fightin words 

its a holden, which is a GM brand in australia (they made the new GTO, what you might best know them for). the 350 in the web site name shoulda been a clue

hp stands for hit points right?  maybe add spinning rims to add +5 speed.

today i was at the garden state plaza and while we were waiting for the people who stopped in the middle of the intersection to move forward i heard rap music.  dont want to start a music debate but when music is played loud enough for someone to hear through who is pretty far enough away listening to their own music its ridiculous.

well anyway the three of us in the car started talking about speakers and how they might have them inside the trunk jokeingly (seems stupid since the trunk would muffle the sound) and i said they should have them on their wheels.  its kinda like my idea for spinning rims that go counterclockwise so the car appears to not be moving (wheels anyway).

on the subject of military why not the air force?  then you could trick out a 50 million dollar plane.  you could add neon lights for the nighttime raids.

Putting speakers in the trunk is fairly common practice in high end car audio.  It will not muffle the sound if done right, although most times you see a cheap speaker box thrown in the back of a Civic by some idiot 17yr old.  It's a very common practice however.

Also, they have wheels that appear not to move while the car is in motion.  They are weighted spinners and allow the "spinning" section to remain still while the car is in motion.  It's basically a reverse spinner that allows the bearings to spin the wheel and tire while the center area remains motionless.   They are stupid, extremely heavy, and insanely expensive.

They don't have a "counterclockwise" motion though.  The amount of effort and electronics that would be needed to correctly spin a spinner in the equal and opposite direction of the tire would be silly.  At least when you consider how it can be done otherwise.

I'd never bother with subs. Good speakers in the rear deck give great bass by themselves

It could probably be done mechanically without a ton of effort.  Of course, I don't know how durable such a thing would be, but it wouldn't be hard to get a couple of cogs to reverse a spinner based on the motion of the rim itself.

[SithMaster]

Im not a car guy so what i think is silly some may think awesome.

The wheel thing was just a stupid idea i had, like most things people put on cars nowadays.

but do you honestly need to have your music so loud that you need trunk speakers?

[AtomSmasher]

I think he needs to add these wheels to his car: http://customwheel.com/custom_wheels/product_info.php/products_id/1687

[USSEnterprise]

those are awesome, but way out of my budget

[ChadTower]

Who needs College when you can have a naked silhouette on your rimz?

[USSEnterprise]

my priorities aren't that screwed.

[FrizzleFried]

I also read somewhere that if you put "Type R" in red letters on the back of your car you get an automatic 10hp!

[CheffoJeffo]

my priorities

[USSEnterprise]

I don't get it.
