Re: 1991 Micra/March "Super-Turbo"(Doublecharged)
i will put up pics wen i get my 10 posts.... ;)
No its his street car, and comes stanard from de factory doublecharged!! Only car ever to be factory produced doublecharged untill 2007 VW released the Golf GT of now known as the TSi Model (turbo supercharged injection)
Its extremelly powerfull and an amazin car to drive!!! nice an rare too...... :)
My car - Tiger Cub. Bought it some time ago - it had a standard 2 litre Pinto which I took out and replaced with a tuned 2 litre Pinto. Purchased from a reliable source the engine has been in about a year now. Very quick off the mark - right up my street. Haven't done a lot to it apart from buying some wheels and respraying them myself. I absolutely love the car BUT it now it has a rival in the shape of a Raffo Belva 2 litre Zetec. Cost me an arm and a leg - had to part exchange the wife to get it but unfortunately I can't keep both cars however much I'd like to so the Tiger Cub will very soon be up for sale. Will post photos of the new car as soon as I get my greasy mitts on it. Been lurking around the site for some time but now have...

K&N Filter

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:
Hi Everyone...
Just joined up this eveing, and thought i'd show you what i currently drive, and have driven..
Hope you all enjoy..
My Current Wheels, a 1998(R) Volvo V40 T4, 200bhp Turbo, she's pretty quick.
My old work car until someone stole it!!!
This was fun, my 1993 Volvo 850 T5 Auto..
And then there was my Vectra C, which started off looking like this..
And ended up looking like this...
Hope you've all enjoyed my little trip down memory lane, and i shall enjoy looking at pictures of what you all drive in oher threads..
A picture of a white Vauxhall all over the index page of the forums?
Quite nice for a Vauxhall isn't it :lol:
rite thought i would show my car its a 93 vauxhall nova gsi in glacier white
the body work is standard gsi kit the car is lowered 60mm front 90mm rear its got 16inch speed line alloys ,calibra turbo front brakes the intirior has got full gsi kit plus full mk2 astra gte champion leather seats.
engine wise the car is fitted with the very popular c20xe 2.0 16v red top vauxhall engine which is 150 bhp as standard it also got the 2.0 f20 gear box the car is also fitted with a full stainless magnex exhaust system and a piper cross induction kit
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?
hi everyone, recently i stripped and rebuilt an endura e engine, when i took the cylinder head to minisport uk (padiham) the guy that does the head work said he should leave these in, but alot of people are telling me otherwise, what do you lot recon? cheers
Well i just (well mum did :D) put a deposit down on this
Renault Clio 172 Cup
only 3k :o
get to pick it up in 2-3weeks, just waitin for my contract from work to say they taking me on for good
took it out for a test drive and my god its quick
not my normal choice for a car as i tend to like longer cars like big hatches saloons or coupes, but i decided to go for something a bit cheaper, and cheaper on insurance, and well more sensible (just for a few years :twisted:)
well what you think?
gonna mainly concentrate on slight astetic changes, a new induction kit as the one on the car just looks like a cheap ebay buy, and cat back, and at a push a remap, nothing drastic as im planning on buying the house im in in...
Anybody know of a top notch mobile valet service in the Glasgow/Lanarkshire (Bellshill) area?
The Pictures Are On My Page, Please Let Me Know What You Think, And Any Improvements Youd Reccomend Etc. :bigsmile: Thanks

Hi, I'm considering getting my 650 remapped but does anyone know or have personal experience of a remap on a petrol engine to say whether it makes it thirstier or not ?
Cracking show, the weather went awesome after a bit and was too engrossed in everything that was going on to take loads of pics (hence no pics of the hillclimbing runs or Brooklands motor museum) so I put the camera back in the car after a while.
Let's begin with some Integrale madness while the other pics upload.
Hey, only just joined up to the site, ive got a VW polo but since looking at all the posibilities im looking into buying a MK3 Golf TDI to start my project.
Just curious as to any pointers and tips anyone could give me as this will be my first project and would rather avoid newbie mistakes if possible :P
Any comments will be appreciated
But i do still have the Calli so don't worry, I'm not gettin rid of the old gal' just yet lol.
Ok then people, here she is. Me and my missus bought it as she was looking for a new car but couldn't afford the whole lot. It's mint, it's got FVSH, it's 6 years old with just under 70,000 on the clock and got it for £1250.
It's a 2.0 SRi (2.0 was easier for the missus to insure) and running 154bhp according to it's RR resaults. It has the prefacelift GSi front bumper and not sure what side skirts lol. It came with the 5 spoke GSi wheels but changed them for the OZ Super T GT's from my Calibra.
It's had a couple of bits done but nothing which would harm the car in the long run such as K&N panel filter, cold air feed, sensible...
This is the car that has spawned my i think slightly unhealthy love of the Mx5 1998 and Previous, It is a 1.6i Eurons Roadster, I brought it in Australia and this is the car i taught my self to drift and slight around in on the dirt tracks in the country, that should be added to everyones bucket list, Rear wheel drive car on perfectly flat dirt roads. :)
Couldnt figure out how to post on here so i have included a link :D

Hello mates, its been long since I last came here, I had an accident, a stove exploded on me and I got projected trough a second floor window, luckily my cordy was parked at the door and I landed on it then hitting the road, I came out of it with quite a colection of broken bones and burns..
So anyway, this is my Seat Cordoba some of you know it already, its an 1.9 SDI engine with low horse power. After te accident the insurance covered it and I put it back to what it was and did a couple of exterior mods, the engine is stock right now.
The thing is that this car was a gift from my grandfather who passed away on last Christmas eve, it means a lot for me even tough is not a fast car, its a car Ill never sale or trade or get rid in any...
Hi all
I thought I would share some pics of my new ride :cheesy:

Lowering kit
17" rims
tinted windows
exhaust system
stereo
engine tune up
here are the pics ( taken on a phone )
the rims going on the car
it has some minor damage to the body whitch I will fix as the money allow it :p
If anyone has some tuning advise please reply to the thread and tell me about it, dont really know what to do with the engine :cheesy:
Well as the misses is now only 3 weeks away from having our baby, I thought it was time to move on from the Scooby and be a little more sensible for a the next 18 months-2years. So I decided to get rid of the scooby and get a bit more of a realistic family car but still has 200bhp
Well i''ve come back to the Vauxhall world once again lol.
So without any further ado heres my new motor. Well pleased with it. Absolutly mint, great service history, mint interior and with having a Billet flywheel it really does go well. Magnex back box which i'm gonna swap over for a new double d one. Cone filter which i've already reaplaced with a K&N panel filter and has actually made it accelrate quicker, so the same thing happened here as what...
This is the only 620si in the world that looks like this (I think) :lol:
[b] Gonna be getting my spoiler putting on the car in the next week or so. It in the paint shop but i have come to the conclution that the painter is a lazy tw*t :roll:
Anyway after the car is all done am hoping to sell it or just do a swap for a smaller car. Its for my girlfriend she aint used to people looking at her as she drives 20 miles an hour down a 30 road lol, They must think "Go on luv put ya foot down" :lol:
Also have a xr2i
Hi guy's,
I have a 306 1.8 16v petrol meridian and am interested in putting a turbo on it or maybe a supercharger. i have no idea how to do either of these but i know i have the space under the bonnet. At the moment its pushing out 120bhp with its induction kit fitted. Any suggestions?
Regards Joe
Right been out today and bought a 1992 Escort Cab. It's a 1.6i and its grey. It's got 17 inch wheels and lowered suspension. Pics are to follow in the next couple of days.
Well some of you might have seen my car in the other threads.. Here is a reminder of what it used to look like..
She stayed almost standard for around a year, and then at the French Car Show I decided that I wanted to change a few bits..
Here is how she looks now..
You can see for yourself most of the exterior mods.. The wheels have been refurbed and sprayed a colour which is between gloss black and a graphite colour.. I think this works well becuase in dark conditions it looks black, but they shine amazingly in the light.
In these pics you can also see my new 266mm brakes which JUST squeeze under those tiny rims!
She has also been lowered on 30mm Eibach springs just to keep the ride...
My 1.8 16v Corrado soon to be modded :D

She is lowered,irs'd,running on empi5s,being pushed by a 1600cc motor!
now sponsored! ie gave me £1k to paint her up :wink:
Rainbow fleck paint goes wappy in the sun :D
