Lowered?? NAH, COULDNT BE!

CURRENTLY: got the front end back on, but im gonna get a different hood, and mess with the gaps. Need to clean up all the adhesives from the trim, find a body shop, and go from there on how much of the prep work im gonna do. Slowly but surely.


FINALLY! 17x8 Flik FTD's. 18.5 LBs :)
SO much better looking in person. Tires are 245/40r17 General Exclaim UHP.


Stock exhaust makes it look a BIT funny, eh?

245/40s on 17x8s fit with no spacers and room to spare? I wouldnt have believed it if i hadnt done it. Im going for 275/40s next time :D

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID ME!! luckily all the damage i was responsible for pretty much overlapped with some pre-existing damage that WASNT my fault that i got a $1000 check for.. so after tires and body parts ive still got $500 to get it painted.. Sweet, but woulda been sweeter if i hadnt gone and rear-ended somebody, and sweeter still if my car wasnt so low at that time (23" tires opposed to current 25") that my freakin bumper went udner the other car and i took all the damage on top instead of a simple messed up bumper cover! GRRR!!!

I wrecked the Avenger too. Dont believe it? BELIEVE IT!


If i couldn't fix this shit myself i'd be so fucked. :/

NAKIEEEEEE! is it faster without that weight? eh, couldnt tell a difference. :P

Damn those things look good on there! too bad my front end is still wrecked!

MESSAGE TO ALL MY ALLPAR FRIENDS (and a few from other forums who may remember me): I'm still around, just not on forums so much. In December 04 i made a decision that being online, and especially on forums/IM'ing, was taking up too much of my time, and enabling some of the facets of myself that i liked the least, so i decided to go cold turkey. Now, i read SOME forums a LITTLE, but i try to keep it to only researching something im specifically interested in. I've been looking at Maxima and 7th Gen Accord stuff recently since a good friend has some max's and i recently raced a new accord in the Intrepid, but thats about it. I've been trying to get in touch with some of the people i used to talk to, through email. My email is Vigo327@swbell.net for anyone interested in talking to me. I still have a lot of interest/plans for the Dynasty, but here's some backstory: In november 04 iirc, i slid it into a curb and messed up the front suspension, tore open the pans, bent the front a little, etc. I got my aries running shortly thereafter and mostly drove that while i slowly fixed/upgraded the Dynasty. Most of my mods went on it in 05, and towards the end of 05 i was pretty much done fixing it, down to good tires and getting it aligned. Im driving it to work now, and have some mods coming in a couple paychecks. So long story short, i still have it, still love it, just hadnt been driving it cuz ive had other cars to play with so i took my time. Anyway, my income is improving so keep checking back, my plan is to get most of my car plans done, and buy a house with my wonderful girl by the end of this year, so lots of car stuff will probly happen in the next couple months. Thanks!

Next Mods:
Gears, Torque Converter, and 3.8 swap. ALL MIX-AND-MATCH OEM PARTS OF COURSE! lol. Here's a good rhetorical question: How much can you modify a k-car with bolt on OE parts?

Here's another funny question: How many Aftermarket performance parts do i have on my car? ....2 (kybs and k&n)
.
Autocross pictures dont reflect current setup. All of them show the car with stock suspension.
Oddly though, i probly couldn't do as well right now with my suspension cuz i'm on freebie BFGoodrich Touring T/A's/ :(

Ack! Cones everywhere!

KING OF BODY ROLL!

Here's some random old pics for you to enjoy:


Getting ready for some work.

Looks easy eh? It is. EVERYTHING is easy on a K-car.

A comparison pick to show you what my current brakes look like compared to the old ones.


Lifted Off-Road Dynasty on this side..

Tire-Tucking Lowrider Dynasty on this side! MAGIC!

EAT THIS!! 0-60 8.00, 1/4 mile 16.28 at 84!

^^^ STOCK ^^^

Average run 16.45.

Doesn't sound like much, but it's more than people expect. enough to embarass all manner of cars. Since i was about 17 when i got this car, its seen a ridiculous amount of street racing action, and strangely, there were only a few losses.
The moral of this story is that there are a lot of people on the road who haven't put a lot of thought into how embarassing it would be to lose to a stock Dodge Dynasty, and how it would be even worse if their car had stickers, a bodykit, huge rims, was slammed, had VTEC, was jacked up all stupid in the back 80's poser-style, was a mustang with the wrong number of cylinders or a stock 84 gt 5.0, or was a huge ass truck/suv. Granted, i've also raced some real nice-looking cars that probly got faster the day after they lost to me, but comeon, guys.

Now i rarely street race in any of my cars, unless i'm really curious about how things will stack up against a particular car.
Besides, i wouldn't want to distract these guys from their important work NOT stopping violent crime and abuse just so they could assess new and exciting forms of taxation without representation against a citizen who poses no particular threat to anything but ill-deserved and government-bankrolled notions of entitlement and authority to fuck with people for a living.

anywho..




This is what ANY K-car's track bar looks like after i drive it. FLIMSY AS FUCK! makes for funny handling even before they bend.


I just realized that there's a bit of information absent on my page. (stock) TOP SPEED. Well, here it is: 120+MPH.
Speedo runs out of numbers at 120.. Thats as much as i know without a tach. heheheh.



Most of the cars sitting together.


Best Dynasty picture ever. (dodge33l on friend's list)
