Guest littlecog Report post Posted October 4, 2004 Travel as both practical reality and philosophical metaphor is central to our experience as citizens of this planet. It also constitutes a large area of design opportunity and obbsession. So come on, show us your wheels! They don't have to be your own wheels. How about wheels we covet? Here is one of my favourite vehicles mainly because it was custom built for me by Tom Board, one of the last post-war english frame builders and now retired (if not dead). Built entirely by hand and eye (no jigs to ensure alignment) by a crusty remant who may or may not have been drinking too much Polish vodka at the time. A motley selection of Reynolds 531 tubing and in its current incarnation set up as a fixed wheel urban assualt vehicle. The very manifestation of velophelia.

Guest Xriry Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Here is my ride. Ive had it 4.5 years, put 80,000 miles on it, i drive it everywhere. Ive changed almost every part on it, some of the big things include. I changed the engine in it, and it now has around 350 HP. It used to be an automatic, but i changed that also, and now has a 5 speed manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest l6a6w6s6 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 Rotary power! I also steer a turbocharged beast. Nissan 180sx (known as a 200sx in some European countries). Very modified, makes about 400hp and weighs only ~1160kg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coppi51 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 nice!...sweet 180! I've been toying with the idea of buying a 240 and doing the swap...cause here in America we never got the SR20DET turbo 2.0L engine. *edit: not sure if you are in the US or not * hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
