Puck's Cars...Then and Now.....

wow....where did everybody go?? I hope i didn't scare them away??

anyways....i thought i would post up my cars, since i'm so bored on my day-off and it's snowing out. Not much for a car scene around Ytown in the winter

Well, i've owned some cars in my life. Some of them i have no pics of...because i wasn't into photography back then. And the car-tuning scene.....(well, there wasn't an import scene).....was just muscle cars and antiques.

Here's a list of what I used to drive, most were the family-use car...and some i owned:

1989 Honda Accord EXI
1988 Ford Mustang LX
1991 Honda Accord EXI
1985 Ford Ranger V6 XLT ...my first purchased vehicle...whoot!!
1985 VW Rabbit....died downtown Calgary during rush hour
1992 Jeep CJ....flipped, rolled and died in Pleasant Valley

but, the first car that got me into modding and tuning was a 1991 Toyota Celica GT-S. Of course, I wanted a Supra (who doesn't)....but my brother sold it to me for cheap.



i remember wanting 17" wheels so bad.....i worked 2 weeks straight to save up for them. It was a good strong motor....nothing could touch it on the highway. I never got around to modding it....I couldn't find parts for it back then. I wanted a body kit, but couldn't find one......And, NO....there wasn't any internet either!!! ....LOL

well....after i sold my Celica to a buddy of mine....i purchased my first true love....a modded 1997 Honda Civic DX

this car got me into the mod scene...albeit show and no-go....but here in Ytown, the scene was small. the previous owner had in a comp at CT years ago

17" DAI Alloys
G Force coil sleeves w/ stock struts and shocks
DAI rear wing spoiler
APC rear tail lights
Ractive cone-style cold air intake
ractive 4" exhaust....eww...muffler only
Mugen badgeless grille
projector headlights by TYC
5% tint by Kustom Tint & Performance ...thanks Vaughn!! (he actually built this car with his cousin, who owned it before me)















it was definitely a good looking car...however, gutless on the highway!!! I always wanted to swap in a B18 or an SI motor in....but never got around to it. I actually sold it, for something a little more usable during winter.


here's a pic of my Civic eating a harsh Nova Scotian winter....



and here's a pic after I shovelled her out...LOL

the next car i bought....was winter-friendly it even had heated seats!!!



yes....i sold my Civic for a 1991 VW Corrado G60 coupe.....bone stock, with a stock supercharger



with the Dai rims on...lol

this was one of the first cars that i truly modded myself....well, with the help of some good friends (RJ Nickerson and Steve Berryman)

mods i've done:
FK 35/40 cupkit
16" Alloy wheels
Neuspeed CAI
TT catback exhaust with a Borla muffler
and of course, 5% tint by Kustom Tint & Performance
it still had the OEM tape deck too...even when i sold it














a before and after pic:

i'll put up my other cars...but for some reason, this site doesn't like photobucket.....stay tuned!!

You musta been on lowmo before? i seen these cars posted a year or so back. they all look good so far cant wait to see what eles you got

Ive always found those Corrado's look funny. Looks similiar to the delorean lol


Time to go back to the future lol jk

AHAHAHAHAHA so this is Pucky Woo after all eh??? Haha lol I've been waiting a while to figure out who this was. Its funny that your old civic used to be owned by Scott I do believe, as I was talking to him about it yesterday after he installed my gauge bezel on my new car. Well the cars are looking good as usual Pucky!

Yep Coady that was me on LoMo...i think it was in the Yarmouth thread. But when i got into my VW's i left LoMo and went to CustomObsessions. Man, i haven't been on LoMo since i sold that Civic. Some guy from Cole Harbour bought it.

thanks Mark
yeah Scottie Too Hottie built that Civic with Vaughn Samms (who provided the parts at cost when he had his shop Kustom Tint & Performance) Definitely resulted in the car being all-Show-and-No-Go. Is Scott still detailing at Honda??

Hey Fridgidy...of course the Corrado looks old, it's a '91. Were you even born then?? Then again, we're not all into spacemobiles LOL

anyways, i guess i should mention 2 other cars i've owned....well, they were the wife's "grocery getters" that i bought for her:
2000 Hyundai Elantra GT
2004 Ford Escape LTD
There aren't any pics of them...no need, just honourable mention

As for my turbo-aspirated cars (2001 VW GTI 1.8T and 2007 VW GTI 2.0T)......i guess i gotta upload pics to www.Imageshack.us since most/all my new pics are on www.photobucket.com and this site doesn't like photobucket

this site doesnt seem to like a lot of other sites when it comes to photos. I have tried to post them before and the code was right just doesnt want to show the picture. so oh well.

Where have the vdubbers gone this winter anyway? I hardly see anyone around any more.

We're around we just become more scarce because we pretty much go into hibernation. We spend as little money as possible so we're not out in public much. At home stock piling parts to make our cars as sick as possible this summer.

Yes sir Scottie still details for Honda and lately has been a great help on my Si for installing my gauge bezel and AEM short ram intake.
