not sure how to shrink my photos to fit here but I was able to post them in the gallery if anyone would like to check it out ;)
Hey All.
I know its not a photo gallery, but good enough:
A video of my RS6 chasing down my mates 2013 track-pack GTR on our way to the Nurburgring a few months back. I didn't expect them to be so close to be honest given the TP GTR is 550bhp and lighter than a stock GTR given the carbon front end and absence of the rear seat bench!

New to the forum. Not done a huge amount of custom work yet but some of what I have done took me a long time (doube din facia - they don't exsist on 75/ZTs). Facia still needs a bit of work and inline filter yet to be complete. Fitted new dash and steering wheel although I have no photos of hat yet.
Some say it pulls like a Train, others say is that fast Mr.?
All I Know is.., that's my 854-R:lol:

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!
Met one of your guys today at BHP performance show, although I've forgotten your name, sorry. A bit about me I'm 21 and from London and drive a Satin Black Renault Megane, any questions feel free to ask
Start of witha practice spray - a wing is good.
Build up the paint in layers.
I used about 15 spray tins of paint in the end I belive
When it comes to removing the bumper it would depend on the car, I discovered that after removing all of mine, I didnt need to but for some cars, you would need to, I removed the bumpers, the bonnet and the front two wings, and then masked up everything else, when I done the car
I didn't need to do any paint prep as the paintwork was only 3 years old, so I knew it was in perfect...
Hey All.
Finally making the jump over to the Audi side, with this 2006 37'000 mile Audi RS4 (B7) Saloon.
Having had the W8 for yonks, the dim-witted Haldex system on the R36 irritated me from day one. The more I drive it, the more it annoys me. Also, while the R36 is quick, I fancy even more POWER!
Problem is, I keep the W8 too and have to tax/insure/maintain it to quench my thirst for a big noisy 8 cylinder engine. The R36's VR6 is somewhat mute and just drones with anything but a stock exhaust on it.
The RS4 has more power, has the torsen permanent 4wd I like (rear bias on the Audi actually, as opposed to 50/50 on the W8) and produces an epic exhaust note. It's both cars in one - plus some :lol:
.. and naturally I...
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...
Had a little play with one of the shots of the Calibra today to see what colour wheels are going to look best and i'm seriously not too sure as they both look really good. The wheels I want are from a Vectra GSi pre-facelift (Mk1 Vectar GSi) So first off heres the original shot:-
And here are the 2 possible colour ways:-
White.
Satin Black with laquor over the top.
What do you reckon I should go for then peeps?
Thanks to my mother and wifes big mouths i got asked to go over my mums bosses car.
No full pics of the car at the start but it didnt look to bad and had a decent shine to it. yeah me thinks :blink:
Car was hosed down then 2 bucket cleaned
Car felt pretty clean and smooth. as i had a little bit of clay handy i rub it over the bonnet. came back very dirty.
so the whole car was treated with Megs clay using quick detailer as a lube
Nice and Clean
Drivers door alone
The car was washed again quickly then towel dried
Then onto inspection - only took pics of the bonnet as the sun was nice and bright
So on with the polishing

Here's the Volvo.
It's my first car (I'm 30 now, had it for 3 years, late starter!) Modding it started off as just a Remap to perk it up a bit and grew from there...
Runs 228bhp at the wheels 5000-6000, and 275lb-ft Torque at the wheels at 2500rpm on 97Ron
1/4 mile at 100mph terminal dead - There are quicker cars around, but you really have to experience the flexibility and mid-range of a tuned T5 to believe it.
It's a torquey quick car out on the road during in real world conditions.

Hi all, I think I'm doing this right? :confused:
Just a quick note to say I have added pictures of my Granada to an Album on my profile! ;)
Chris.. :blink1:
Saw this very straight 70's Oldsmobile Cutlass (I think :confused:) in my local carpark, the naff phone pics don't do the car justice. The matt black paint works really well with the chrome & the 442 decals on the flanks & rear. The Pseudo rivets aren't quite my cup of tea but then if we liked the same thing it would get very boring very quick! Aside from that the car looked just great! :bigsmile:
As requested some more pics of the beastie, I've got some more somewhere but annoyingly I can't find them!
Here's what I can find...

Which left the poor Vectra without it's "Hamster in-a Wheel Power" lol
I have recently purchased a street blaster 150i from the WON! what other mods do you reckon I would need to make before I fit the kit??
I would reckon brakes, clutch??
But then again if I get a progressive controller surely the amount of clutch-slip will be very minimal.
what do you guys think??

The pulsar is going into storage.. so i can spend some time on this..
just found my best car find to date.. got talking to one of the builders who is doing some work on my house.. He told me his dad had one of them toyota rally cars thats been sitting in his garage for over 6 years. . it needed moving due to him leaving... so i said i would pop round to view it.. you could not even see the car in the garage.. but as soon as it was clear of rubbish.. it turned out to be a UK GT4 90,000 with full service history prior to storage and in the rare colour... He took it off the road due to a cracked rad as he thought he had to import one for japan.. ...Anyway on closer inspection in tured out to being a carlos sainz edition number 2356...
Does anyone here have or know someone who owns the new Nissan GTR?
I really would like to do a photoshoot of one and do a feature on it. If your interested please PM me.
Well when I say new I mean new to me. Just picked it up this weekend
Mercedes 300 CE - 24 Coupe Limited Edition
Nice little ride, needs some work doing to it but it seemed cheap enough at £2700.
Guy said it might be a Carat Duchelet but not sure about proving that but never mind.
It will keep me going till I get the Capri finished.
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 n' gals hope all are well. Well this time is no exception for me going nuts on a car lol. So first of all, lets recap for those that have forgotten or haven't seen my cars since being a member on here.
