If I gave you my other 914 to use, would I get it back after they finished it? If I would get it back, you can take my parts car. It's in decent shape, but pretty taken apart. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Let me know. Thanks
-Chris

My friend Tom was on Pimp My Ride (the old police car) and he sold it about a month after he was on the show(I don't remember how much, but I think it was over $25k). By the way...that show is so entirely set up. My friend lives in Rancho Santa Margarita, down the street from me, and the producers set up a house in Ventura for him so that it would look like he was poor. Also, you all obviously know that the whole Xibit showing up at your door thing is entirely fake.

Another thing that I found funny is that Tom is quite the comedian and apparently he was telling jokes and goofing around and the producers actually told him not to be funny because he was overshadowing Xibit.

The show is a joke. But hey, easy money for us poor 914 owners!

cbenitah, how would you like to use my 944? Or maybe my 914 since I have all the paperwork for it in Riverside (might not be taking it with me to TX). If they ask why the title doesnt have your name tell them you never transferred it over because it's such a beater (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Just let me take the stereo and swaybars off... That way the valuable parts are not lost or stolen by the show.

hmm kinda cool I guess, I always wondered what the pimp my ride guys would do to a 914.
I'm scared in a way like, hey we took your nice metal bumpers and took some ultimate pimped out rice bumpers and (almost) made them fit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

some potential 'upgrades':
-lamborghini style doors
-huge plasma in the front trunk (I hope they don't put it in the back, it just might melt over the exhaust and the roof wouldn't fit any more)
-small tft's in the headrests for upcoming traffic
-but since they did put the plasma in the back they permanently fixed your targatop and bondo'd it in (916 look) and then they put a sunroof in the targa.
-then the front trunk is available for huge amps and speakerboxes
-various glasfibre bodyparts are added
-huge chrome spinners
-leather everywhere in the interiour

yeah I can see this happening (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

But I guess my curiosity is stronger than my fear, so please keep us informed on this story (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)


good luck to you and your teener

Jacco

So.....
Yesterday me and my friend Jason took the trip up to O.C to Dan B's house... It was a bumpy ride (blown shocks) and also a challange for the feet.. No idle at All.. so LA traffic was Great! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif)

Anyhow, after a couple of hours we had excanged some parts (trunk,decklid,doors,enginecover) and my car now looks like it runs.. I took some photos of it and boy do i get some weird looks now... (although a very cute mom asked what year my Porsche Spider was) haha, well, she tried at least.. then the local Subary community had a get together at an In and Out in Laguna. and they wanted to sell me some engines.. and i wish i had the $$$ right there casue i really need an engine, got some numbers though when its time to switch.. Let me know if you think anything else needs to be done before my casting on sunday...

I was looking to borrow some shitty wheels from someone in the SD area since mine are WAY to good lokin, so if you have any and want some free ones let me know!

Chris,
Be sure to spraypaint 914world.com on the front hood and the sides really big in a color that will stand out before they get their hands on the car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Or better yet... rennlist.com (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

I agree, 914world.com

and Rennlist.com


Will give you stickers..

DUDE STICKER UP THE CAR!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Also, take some spray paint, and make sure you spray paint some pannel of the car (dont mask off the tires and everything. unless you have good glass or something) and make sure there are runs in the paint.

It was nice to meet you and Jason this week - glad you made it home OK. If your ride does not get pimped, someone in San Diego needs to come over to diagnose your issues - sorry I was no help.

I was thinking....is there a way to prep a panel to spray paint over it, but have the spray paint removable??? I recall a commercial from a few years ago that advertised a cleaner that would take off spray paint. Anyone have an opinion on this? Good coat of wax?

Think of what theme you want on your car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) They typically ask you what you're into and create that environment.

Say racer. You want to get into racing, but dont have the money to make your car aprovable for say SCCA. Maybe Xibit will send you to Skip Barbers...

Or else... have your targa top painted with a mural... lol

If you are looking for a "theme" to tell X what you are into, tell him you are really into gardening.


The 914 already sounds like an angry lawnmower anyhow, so you're already halfway there..

They could paint it John Deere Green and Yellow...... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
