The DuPont Registry is like the US version of Unique Cars, but with the bling factor turned up 300%. We're talking pimped out H2s, gangsta S-600s, original Cobras, Diablos, Saleen C7s, lions, tigers, bears... oh my.

Anyhoo - your reputable newsagent (Borders) should have a well-thumbed copy for around $18 clams to flick through - f*ck buying it - and the current issue is a doozy.

Celebrity Cars

Stock is for suckers for these bad boys. Featured rides from Hef, Tito (the Animal) Ortiz, Busta Rhymes - and many more.

Even TV's Bo Duke (John Schneider) is featured with his car... the General f*cking Lee!

Can't get to the shops?

Haha Gordo - one of movie's all time great car-scenes is Marky Mark dragging the Batmobile against a Mondial cabrio in 'Rockstar'. Screw your NOS tanks hidden under the seat Vin baby, that sucker has a jet engine in the back :P

Busta seems to be doing OK. Can't say I've bought anything of his - just as well, that green Lambo is vile. The mag says he's ordered a Veyron convertible - a cool US$1.2mil. I image we'll see him in some buddy-cop film before the end of the year:

He is preety big in America and europe. Shaq the basketballer also has a shit load of bling bling cars, but when u make 40+ million a year playing basketball i guess its easy.

Theres a show on MTV called Cribs where they spend the day with super rich celebs and they show off where all their $$ has gone.

The only Yankee tank I know with a hard-on for Skylines is Paul Walker (no surprises there).

Here's a pic that always cracks me up:

I imaging the Hulk is saying "Check out my T88-34D... it's FULLEE bro!!!"

:P

If you won $30 million of course you'd build yourself a huge garage and fill it full of N1 GT-R's but you know... what else???

I'd imagine you'd guys want some TVR's, M-Power BMW's, AMG Mercs, turbo XR6's, maybe the odd GT3, F360... and a slammed 'Secret Service' style Chevy Surburban on 20" Volks...

As a multimillion you must have a rounded diet... blondes, brunettes, redheads, twins...

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
