This is my new project (aside from my GTI)
1954 Studebaker Champion sedan. My great-grandfather was the original owner, now its in my hands to take care of. Just got here from a long trip, imported from Colombia where it has been since its purchase back in 1954.
It is still 100% original.

Cool rides guys n gals!
I think I have A.D.D. with cars,lol. I drive a caddy stsv with a ton of mods. Ported supercharger, pulley, programmer, upper intakes, 512rwhp. Not bad for a 4 door. Never made it to the track but my buddy has a new zo6 and hasn't come close to beating me. Also got an old school BMW 850 v-12 6speed manual in the paint shop. And last but def not least is the money pit 1969 camaro pro touring bagged, single turbo 408 lsx, tubbed with 20x14 coys. Been in the shop for the last 2 years. They keep making new cool stuff and I keep changing my setup! Lol. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

Big big big car guy here. Mainly euro stuff. I have 2 older benzes and a jeep wrangler lifted and locked. My mom and dad live close so I often take one of their cars out. ( 3 porsche and a benz). Since I'm a little older my priorities have changed some, I'm close to getting a house so my cars status will be the same for a bit but I'm very happy with what i have, they are each unique.

I miss that car more than anything...

This is soo sick.. I feel like you need a glass of brandy and a cigar when driving that thing.

Truck looks good. i love that color. The Accord has a ton of potential. I have seen a few really nice Turboed ones, one of which was featured in Import Tuner not too long ago.

This is for jonrich or anyone that knows..If i have the alt. belt on. It will have hard starts, rough idle, loss of power and die at stop signs. WTF is the issue?
It's possible the regulator In ur alt. went out. It may say its charging but It could be erratic voltage causing poor sensor response or screwing with the ecu. Just a thought
