lol orange station wagon on macleod

[NNNred]

who is this dude, he was with his girl showing off & trying to race every1. the thing sounds like a turd. he was shifting through his 2 gears thinkin he is mario andretti. i think it was a dodge kcar??

[finboy]

ugh, that thing is STILL on the road?

i remember seeing it two years ago, and it seems his driving habbits haven't changed at all

[86max]

Orange station wagon? Sweet, I want to see a pic!

[TypeS]

i can get a pic, used to work with the guy! his names graham and yea it's a dodge aries K car he painted it himself and it's got chrome 13" hub caps, one of the nicest cars in calgary

[max_boost]

Oh man I remember that dude!!

He bought my damaged Aggressor II front bumper off of my 5th gen Lude and told me he was going to modify it and put on his car. I asked him what he drove and he pointed to the Orange K-Car Wagon!!!

[MM99lude]

hah i think that guy went to my highschool. did it have ricer blue turn signals?

[turbo'dGSR]

Yup seen that guy, and his presence did nothing but piss me off....

[funkytuqe]

Thats my brother, i used his car to pick up your Agressor kit, i mododed it to fit my 2g lude. He drives like an ass, i can see why you guys are bashing him, one of these days he's gonna regret it!!
He does have some stink under the hood though, so don't be thinking it's "JUST A K-CAR" however that 3spd auto is a piece of shit!

[Ryan@DerdallDesigns]

Saw the k wagon on the way home on deerfoot as well buddy was feelin his 5inch indiglo blue pillar tach and exhaust. The guy cuts people off then waves out the window at them

[AccordTypeR]

lol that guy used to go to wise wood funny shit! that car is awesome!

[funkytuqe]

Hehe, yah we did the paint job back when he was in highschool, he got the car from mom and dad. Since the car is such a piece of CRAP, we decided to make it a joke on wheels, thus the orange paint!! Man we all laughed so fuckin hard when we rolled it out of the garage for the first time after the paint job Some people don't get it though, there like "it's a k-car looser!" but they don't understand thats the whole point. That thing even has an air horn from a semmi, haha. This summer we pulled the head, and the entire steering system, replaced the rack, tie rods, ball joints and front bushings. We got a mopar performance header cheap from ebay, we also found a ported head with 3 angle valve seats and a mopar perfomance cam on ebay for super cheap. Then we installed a weber downdraft to finish her off. Now i don't know if any of you guys have ever driven a stock k-car but they are fucking slow as hell (98hp) useless for merging. Now it has a lot more get up and go, not fast bay any standard but about the same as any civic or neon. Now we are trying to see if we can custom fit a suspention form a dodge daytona, with parts from the wreckers so it can handle a little better and dump it too! Also, he needs to ditch that piece of crap 3spd auto and find a 5spd manual from a charger, new high comp bottom end and a sweet ass set of dual weber DCOE's or maybe a weber 38/38 would do the trick to replace that tiny weber 32/36 that we put on.
oh, and he needs to learn how NOT to drive like a turd

A: daytona suspension bolts in
B: any pics of this header?
C: don't use the charger tranny, the 90+ 5 speeds are MUCH better
D: why stick with carb, why not swap to turbo

[funkytuqe]

A: daytona suspension bolts in

Cool, good to know. The wagon is an '83 though, so i think they may be a little different than the '86+ k-cars.

B: any pics of this header?

Nope, sorry. It is a Mopar perfomance header, it's funkin huge, with 3" collector! Its black, and we had to bang in the primary tube comming from cylender #1 to clear the steering pump

C: don't use the charger tranny, the 90+ 5 speeds are MUCH better

Yah, we would like to, however i dont know if it will bolt on to the pre '86 chassis and motor, we are scared that we would have to ge custom shafts made if we use the later tranny, if we use the early charger tranny it will work for sure. Everyone that had modified k-cars has used the later models and pars are more swappable on those models. If you know for sure or know where i can fine the RIGHT information, please let me know

D: why stick with carb, why not swap to turbo

for the same reason as stated above, it would be way too much work (more than the car is worth) to swap in ECU, fule System, wiring and dash cluster from an FI dodge 2.2. Plus i think NA carbed mosters are carbed parts are cheap (with the exeption of Weber DCOE's) and easy to tune, i know we could get 200hp (flywheel) if we use the right induction system and cam.

the only difference i could think of would be the k-member but that would be an easy swap, as for the carb, whatever floats your boat

[funkytuqe]

Hmmmm, ok that helps then, we will have to look into that

as for the carb, whatever floats your boat

These babies do more that just float my boat

[Chim]

Haha I know the guy, but haven't seen the car in person. Was wondering when someone would make a thread about it.

to modding a k-car, as I used to own one and used to make jokes about doing something similar (making it look stupid as hell but giving it some balls)

to driving like an asshat

[maxout]

sweet i wanna see the car that must be pimped

[funkytuqe]

Well, the car is fucked, it won't be on the road for a while!! So you guys can breath a sigh of relif since you won't have to worry about is crazy ass driving on the road for a while.
When: Wednsday evening around 6:30 PM
Where: Dearfoot trail north bound just south of Pegan trail right after Calfrope bridge.
He was on his way up to my place beacuse we had a soccer game to go to in the NE and all of a sudden he lost power and stalled out. He pulled over (someone here might have seen him) and discovered a very nasty knocking in the bottom end. Managed to get it runing and limp it to the Road King. Called me cuz i have AMA so i went down there to meet him and called a tow truck. The motor runs, but it's not healthy, it knock's like a bitch, one of his barings is gone and she's not driveable. I guess thats what you get when you drive an old dodge 2.2l with over 200k on the clock, put some performance into it and drive it like you think your in an STI Oh well, he know it would happen sooner or later (well maybe not soo soon) haha. So the car is off the road and we will be putting in a new bottom end, hopefully one to match the head and cam we just put in there. Or maybe it's turbo time

Oh and i'll se if i can get some pics, commedy on wheels!

[big_k]

haha, this is funny, i went to high school with this kid, don't like the car AT ALL>
