Welcome to the Spotted thread. Have you seen another TC'er or something out of the ordinary that made you stop & stare? If so take a snap & post it here! :D No web finds please, keep it to real cars on the street, car park, garage, your mates house, out side the pab etc...;) Here Is my first offering... Seen outside Halfrauds in Cannock this afternoon. The cars belonged to members of the Cannock & district car club & they were there helping to raise money for the County Air Ambulance.
There is a new gallery on the site which members can upload pictures to.

Just a reminder to everyone that we now all have car photo storage space. http://www.torquecars.com/forums/all_albums.php Resize your pics to 90kb or so before uploading them otherwise you'll be there all day. I'd love to see pics of your cars, your cars modifications, projects, work in progress and shows that you have been to.:love: Your album will also show up in your profile so your profile is now even more of a personal website!
right everyone after the sale of the previous car fell through (less said the better) :wall: i had a great bit of luck and dropped on this motor from a cracking guy from up cumbria :god: its totally different spec wise to the white one i was going to get and i actually prefer that if im honest as its a lovely base to make a great car from and not ruin the oe looks/charm of it too much. :top: its a 1990 car in red totally standard engine wise apart from a receipt for some form of hybrid turbo stainless system lowered suspension had a resto a few years ago and is in great shape nice and solid in all the usual areas. also had an engine rebuild a few years ago the car has not been on the road since 2014 but the current owner took the car...
I really appreciate everyone's enthusiasm on my Rhythm fabrication thread. That really shows the passion you guys have for not only your projects underway in your garages but as well as other members' rides. Thanks very much. I had mentioned that I wanted to share a new project vehicle that was in progress. Like the first vehicle build, it's something that both my dad and I are involved with...I wouldn't have it any other way. The Idea Rhythm was in the final stages of assembly and as crazy as it sounds in the back of my mind I found myself already tossing around the idea of creating a second mid-engine vehicle. However, taking into account what had been learned over the course of the building Rhythm, I decided that if and when...
hi everyone me and the wife recently purchased our first joint car together its a 2001 206 gti 138 in moonstone silver, has 107k on the clocks and is a pretty tidy car seeing as its 13 years old since purchasing a couple of weeks ago i have done the following new front discs and pads sportex oval back box new oe centre section k&n panel filter new oil and filter new plugs removed and cleaned throttle bodie and refitted the car is really good to drive it feels well balanced and has a very strong torquey 2.0 16v engine in there, but anyone that knows about this engine knows that it was restricted quite a bit by peugeot themselves mainly by a terrible inlet manifold, crappy exhaust manifold which also rattles like...
I bought the car in 2002 for £250 and have since spent an ever increasing amount of money on it, a year ago I decided to bite the bullet and as I had made a few contacts and friends in the right circles I booked it in for an engine rebuild but as things went on we found more and more things causing problems (rust mainly) and it turned into a bit of a nightmare. I really have a thing for classic motors so I pushed on and volunteered my services after work and at the weekends. It has been a long road but things are starting to come good and I am hoping to have it all finished for the show at the end of June. Unfortunately I cannot afford a respray and all the work besides so please excuse the mismatching panels. It did look quite good...
Hi guys after what has been around 6-7 years i have finally got myself back into 206 ownership. our last gti was sold on as we were expecting our first child so something a tad more practical was required. anyway iv had an itch to get into trackdays for a while so started the search or something suitable and not bank breaking to purchase, straight away i just thought id love track a 206 and within 48 hours i had fount a motor under an hour away and at a good price. so today i headed out did all the relevant checks and struck a deal or £1100 i will be collecting the car next weekend and then the fun can begin. got alot of plans in the pipeline which will see it into a very capable and fun track car, it will certainly be staying n/a...
Hi everyone been looking at upgrading our current daily driver 08 plate 308 1.6hdi for a while now, and after coming up with a few options we decided an st180 would fit the bill perfectly. After a good search we took a trip to mansfield yesterday to view a real nice spirit blue with just under 40k, fsh, 12 months mot, hpi clear and completely standard. As with anything i was expecting the car not to be as good as it was in the pictures, needless to say i was wrong and it was just as good. Me and the wife both test drove the car as it will be more for her than me as i use the van all week and most saturdays tbh. We were blown away at just how well it drove and i was actually taken by surprise at just how quick it was as i was not...

Hi guys! My name is Nick. I've been into hot rods and custom cars since I was a kid. For over 10 years, I've been learning the art of metal shaping starting out with a set of about 9 hammers, some dollies, and a 3/4" rubber mat and things have kinda evolved from there. I'd like to extend my hand in appreciation to all the members who have the same passion for cool cars and enjoy taking the time to share their knowledge and experiences. I was hoping to share a completed project built entirely from scratch out of steel that both my dad and I are quite passionate about. This got me hooked on fabricating. I'll post one photo, if you guys feel it's "too out there"...it'll be removed. Thanks very much!
its a 1994 2,5 v6 this are pics when i bought it this summer engine already had G cams fitted , then the mods started , bought f28 gearbox mounted with flywheel and clutch from a C20let , mounted headlamps with fog lights mounted sebring back box then there weeks ago- when i bought it engine wasnt in best shape , and when i was maxing it out at 250kmh it started to run like diesel . so it was puled out an totally rebuild ed that was finished yesterday . tomorrow i will drive it back home from a garage and ill post newest pics
Well, Unfortunately the Calibra is gone :( But on the flip side, i've now gt a family car I'm very happy with and quite surprised I got the deal to be fair. Payed £700 for the Calibra back in October last year, I've run the tax and MOT out and swapped it for this Vectra which was listed for £1500. Plus I got £200 on top as well which I was really surprised to be offered. But at the end of the day, an enthusiast bought it and he said he'll pay what he thinks it's truly worth. So deal done :):):) Any who, shes a 2001 Y reg 2.6 Vectra SRi. Not 100% of the name of the colour yet lol but I really like it. Absolutely mint interior with no mark at all on the half leather. 96,000 miles with only 2 owners before me (last one had it 7 years)...

Hi guys. As a couple of you may have noticed in a couple of recent posts that I'm now driving a Mk2 ZS180. Even over all the cars I've had, and the £1000's that have been spent over the years improving the handling, this is by far the best car I've ever driven. I know that may sound daft considering it's an MG, but the boffins at Longbridge really knew what they were doing when they made this car. There is so much that MG changed about the chassis etc from the regular Rover 45/Civic MB. Also the little gismo they made for the inlet manifold by far make the 180bhp in standard form feel a lot fast with a standard 0-60 of 7 seconds and for a big car designed over 13 years ago, is pretty impressive for how little power it has. But it's...
HI all, heres some details of a little buggy i built last year, its a scratch built Lotus 23 race car, originally built with a K20 Type R engine, but a minor mishap saw it repowered with a K24 Turbo unit. engine is mounted in the rear in a north south configuration and runs through a Subaru trans axle converted to front drive and turned upside down. engine is stock with a Skunk inlet manifold and manual 80mm throttle body and is dry sumped with an IT power integrated pump pan unit. running on E85 with a mild tune it has 310 RWHP and 460ftlbs of torque, and in a car that only weighs 550kg its fairly quick to say the least. Only major problem so gar has been the drive line wasnt strong enough for so much torque, the original Lotus 23...
I thought I'd start a project thread, although it won't be the conventional project thread as progress will be slow. So onto the car, it's my daily driver, a 2004 Hyundai Getz Sport 1.6 16v, as found in the UK, possibly elsewhere in the world, some go under the model name of Hyundai Click. The Sport model came fitted with a 1.3 16v and a 1.6 16v engine. The power figures for the 1.6 16v are a mahoosive 104bhp with 105.6 lbs/ft of torque. Trim wise the car came with electric windows, electric mirrors, electric sunroof, a/c and front fog lights as standard. The bodykit was an optional extra. The car came with many receipts for some of the other "extras" it has, such as the window tints, the graphics package and the leather re-trim...
Hello everyone. I am originally from Lithuania, but residing now in Denmark where i have my sweet little car detailing shop and well i have just recently become a BMW fan.. Big time! Now a bit of Prologue: So i have been searching for a bmw e30 for 2 weeks. Surprisingly it become a sort of a challenge to even buy one, as here in Denmark every1 started to sweep them like crazy. Somebody puts one for sale, you call a man in the morning and it is allready sold. And that repeated at least 10 times during 2 weeks. Crazy isn't? So somehow a friend of mine stumbled upon a very nice e30 which was a coupe and that's how i ended up owning my first proper car (i had some old Opel astra hatch before which was horrible ). Funny thing is...

well it started like this basic car.. 15" std alloys,cloth interior, no rear speakers been sat in a stable for a year undriven and cost me £450 , 2 WEEKS LATER the head gasket went, typical but no real bother £300 to sort that out with a metal one, now the car looks like this from the rear. change to rear lights (custom surrounds and fiat coupe lights) quad longlife SS Exhaust, stainless roll hoops interior totally changed Now has red leather seats/door cards/steering wheel/and gear knob, red painted window trim to match, resprayed speedo surround and mk2 centre console, as sprayed graphite grey, blue lockhead dspeedo dials, The airbag blank has been turned into a storage cubby hole made Taken from a MGZR, and I replaced...

I saw this at the Midland Game Fair this afternoon, at first I thought it was a Aston Martin Rapide but it's not, then i thought it may be a kit car based on a Nissan (see the Z on the front flank). Now I just don't know! :lol: Can anyone shed some light on this car for me please? :embarrest:

Hi All, We have another little project on the go at the moment.. The current Stagea, which we have had a couple of years is near end of life unfortunately. She has been a fighter, been on a few track days. The Chassis is now too rusty. Sooooo, we have a new one :) We'll transfer the performance parts over, and currently looking at a crazy printed wrap for the car too The 2 together.. MOT Time The new Stagea is a fresh import and a very clean 125,000 kilometres example. Has service stickers over it, and all history from Japan. Zero Rust. Its the Turbo 2.5 litre 24 Valve 6 Cylinder Engine out of the Nissan SKyline R33 GTS-t, and a 4wd System Similar to the R33 GTR Nissan Skyline. Should hopefully be a fun Project over the...
Sold the Antara and the MGF as the latter was getting on and getting out was not very graceful! Plus with our first grandchild the wife needed more seats! So pooled the money together and bought two decent cars. The wife has now got an Audi A4 3.0 V6 Cabriolet S-Line, specced by myself and I have an A6 Avant which is pretty much S6 spec. Her car is better than mine! Just sold the T16 MG ZS to a fellow MG club member as needed the room. Still have the blue MK1 ZS. The S6 is a bit noisy, nice comfy ride and it's surprising how well it holds its own considering it is 18 years old! |B
Here we are then guys. This is the journey to my quick Vectra lol. This is the 2.0 16v Calibra Turbo engine for the Vectra that i bought. Well the new engine is in and just waiting for 1 part which should be here tomorrow. The engine went in no problem and turns over with ease. We just need to sort the coil as the older engine hasn't got electronic ingnition. So here's our journey to the stage I am at, at the mo First things first, ROAD TRIP!!! Couple of shots of the new engine So then it was out with the old... Which left the poor Vectra without it's "Hamster in-a Wheel Power" lol

Hi All, Stumbled across the site whilst reading a write up on a V6 Mk1 Astra. Well I also have a Mk1 Astra running a chipped 2.0 16v Turbo (C20LET) and a 6 speed box (F28 ) giving 272BHP. Full custom made leather interior too :) The car had a ground up restoration over the last 18 months (a re shell of my old one) and now looks like this. Hope you like
First of all I'd just like to say what an epic time I had and trackdaydrivers.com were a brilliant bunch, everything was well organized and yet so relaxed at the same time. Everyone was so friendly and willing to chat. Great little technical course and the Focus was spot on, got a few good comments which is always nice. Also met a lad with a redtop Mk1 Corsa who asked for a ride in my car so ended up with a couple of on-board I-phone vids (also passengered in his). The first slew of videos are starting to pop up now, and some photos of which the professional ones should be up at some points this week. Have a look: http://www.facebook.com/v/10150622180983349 http://www.facebook.com/v/10150622190833349...
Hi its been a while but I thought I would post up the latest addition to my fleet. OK so its not a custom car or supercar etc. but everytime I go out in it I can gaurantee being asked about its history, what its like to drive and generally people lusting after one! des photos
My XJS Monaco XKR I actually sold this one and now have this one, which has had the engine pulled, stripped, stroked to a 4.2 and basically everything uprated, just need to get my hands on a Kenne Bell :twisted: This is my engine from my track car, this is an early pic before all the water was done properly and fuel lines I do like to play :D
Hi guys. Well thought I'd get a bit of thread together rather than me keep updating my Hello thread.

Alright so, I purchased the new (not really new) Saab 900 this past week, just picked it up Wednesday, and let me tell you, fast fast fast! It is a 1995 900 SE, 2.0T, 3 door coupe / hatch ! The previous owner is a friend I met through Saab events and saablink. He did a substantial amount of work to the car, all of which are very noticeable. The list includes : -900 transmission swapped for a 1999 9-3 transmission, which is hydraulic versus cable. -Upgraded shifter linkage, much sturdier -Stock turbo swapped for larger TD04 turbo from a Saab 9000 Aero -Cat delete -Full 2.5inch Flowmaster from cat delete back -Stage 2 road tune from a genius by the name of Mike D. -Custom intake piping leading to open air intake -Boost Guage...
Alrite lads so this is the car I am all set to buy its just round the corner from me I have test driven it and got to say its brilliant. Shame its FWD for a scooby was hoping for AWD but I will happily settle so I can brag I have a Scooby! :D for £400 you can't go wrong mechanically brilliant to be on the safe side I am replacing a few bits and changing the Oil and I have to patch up a dink on the rear bumper!
Right o then guys, starting this thread frsh for the Veccy rather than keep posting in the MG thread :) If you've read the reprevious posts from said MG thread, you'll know that i've gona and got myself a right bargain of beast. So to catch up, i have a 1999 Vectra GSi estate which was MSD build number 1575 which turns out according to the MSD register, that it's one of the last few pre-faclift estates which is cool. And heres the pics from previous post = But we have and update aswell (i can't keep my hands off cars lmao) Fitted my air filter form the 2.6 Sri as I just love the sound, took it for quick spin and hasn't affected the running of the car unlike it did when I fitted one to my old 2.5 Calibra before the...
Bought this recently to replace the Vectra Elite estate as badly missed my series 2 TD5 Discovery. Needed an auto as my clutch leg was suffering in traffic due to cellulitus issues in both legs over the years. So got a very happy place to be on the daily commute. No more leg cramps, bad back is now cosseted by the leather armchairs! So it's a Discovery 3 HSE auto with just about every extra going as was owned by a Land Rover Jaguar Director, has heaps of history and bills to prove. Perfect for my three Dalmatians and the 25' caravan. Need to buy a ramp for the dogs as it's a bit high for the lazy buggers! :D
Since I first posted about my Toyota a few days ago I know it's been the talk of the forum.Obviously anyone with a mk1 Avensis will understandably be the focus of much envious attention.I'm used to it when I see the drivers of Porsches and M5s stare with such longing at my car,sometimes I truly think I should remove the vvti badges from the wings because it feels like sheer gloating lol. Nah,I do get stares but their usually either in amusements or from people who think I must be driving about thinking I've got the coolest car in town or something.It's an Avensis,a mini cab drivers dream car of the late 90s,early 2000s but for some daft reason it's really grown on me and I woud love to get a 250 bhp motor under there and embarrass all...
Picked up my new runabout the other day, a 56 plate 1.9JTDM Alfa Romeo GT in Lipari Grey with red leather interior. Also has the optional £1500 18" wheel upgrade. Spent 4 hours last night washing, claying, polishing and waxing the exterior. Also cleaned and sealed the wheels. So, here she is! :o I will be modding her slightly but don't want to go too mad. Plans are: Give the Interior and engine bay a good going over. Clean, condition and protect the leather. Remap Possibly FMIC Lower 25mm on Eibach Springs and Koni FSD suspension. Alfa Romeo 4-pot Brembo Calipers and larger discs. Alfa Romeo Tax Disc holder.
