both are pictures of the 6'' x 9''s i fitted due to their being 2 great holes in the parcel shelf. i had to make mdf mounts first and then cover it with faux leather, as the holes were too big in some areas.

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.
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.
First was the Calibra 2.5 that had a 3.0 engine then went back to a 2.5 again:-

Then was the Vectra SRi that had a Turbo lump dropped in:-

Had a Frontera for a bit...
Hey all this is my motor i got on tuesday for £600 and the insurance is £2612 Fully Comp so I just put her through the MOT and as you can see i cocked up with the motor oil trying to add oil in a force 7 gale doe not work!!
This is My Fiat 1.2 8v ELX
Its not anywhere near as nice as your cars but its quite nimble imho
Any tips on what I can improve?
Plase help me!!! Am looking for a shop or a company that sells or manufatures FLIP PAINTS and if I can get price list or quotation on this.

Many thanks

Aup!
Just sold my little baby!!! Which was alot harder to do then realised even though i had my new phat 172 Cup parked at the side of it. These little cars are great fun and with little changes can be quite surprising at times!!! When i bought the car it was in a sorry state but with lots of TLC
the car seemed to sit in a legue of its own.
Here are sum photo's of her:

not pretty, but did a job all the same :blink1:
Mini of course! Everyone has to play with one of these!
Chevette-started life with a 1.9 Manta engine, then that expired and in went a Rover V8, semi-space framed front end. A case of tail wagging the dog with this!
Audi GT 2.4i
I also had a 1340 Mini, no pictures, that ran a Longman engine, rallycross spec, 48 Weber, Jack Knight straight cut box and a Quaife slipper. I also designed and fabricated my own coilover rear beam axle. Redundancy put paid to that beauty.
Well here is my little baby
Ive done pretty much all i wanted with the body, morretts, 17" rims and a re spray.
For my next project this is the XU10 J2T low pressure turbo engine that will be going into it eventualy once ive rebuilt it.
rebuilt lots of engines, its what keeps me sane:lol: but never really got into tuning so when the time comes im hoping for a little guidance.

Does anyone in Aussie know where you can get one? 2000 Baleno Hatch.Only ones I have seen are from Sydney Special Vehicles for like $500. Bit exy and maybe someone knows of a spoiler from another car that can be made to fit.
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.
I thought id put these in the right place its a 1998 volvo v70r front wheel drive version with manual gearbox (rare) ive had it a year and done quite alot to it in the time i've had it with more to come, should be running around 330bhp at the minute.

So with the Punto being a catastrophic MoT failure way back at the start of last year and the Civic going nowhere for ages (and to be honest not being quite what I wanted, plus the panels needed some TLC before I could start properly doing any mods) I've done something maybe a little bit silly and bought something else.
I got this instead:
Notice how it comes pre-loaded with Peugeot SP kit including wheel arch extensions, front grill and spoiler? Starting out with a 205, I guess I've always been more into French hatches, complete with all their quirks.
I keep mentioning Bod, my old Smart. So I thought I'd put some pic's up of it, sadly I've lost the folder with the photo's, I think I left it on my old lap top. :(
So I've had to search for some on the net & here they are.
The Specs:
Newly built engine raised from 600cc to 700cc
Custom Re-map by RedDot racing.
Brabus Cam & Clutch
Larger Roadster turbo (still a wee little turbo :lol:)
Janspeed polished ally intercooler pipes
Brabus TIK pipe
K&N induction kit
Custom made Stainless Steel 'Stealth' exhaust with sports cat
Bilstein Streetline springs & dampers
RedDot Racing Brake pads & Discs
Roadster deep dish steel wheels (a second pair of rears were going to go on the front to improve the track width before the car died)
Rear panels...
Here's some pics of my gto tt , Its slowly getting to the condition that i want , So far its had the old cloth on the seats removed and replaced with leatherette , full 3" custom made exhaust , old electric shocks and springs changed to avo chassis dynamic springs and kyb adjustable shocks , goodridge brake hoses and rossini drilled and grooved discs , front and rear strut braces and a wee bit of engine polishing , oh and of course a turbo upgrade from the old 9bs to 13t , plus 19" alloys .
I just need some piping to install my fmic and wire in the avc-r boost guage ..

That's my mind made up. House+Garage+25th Birthday = R34 GTR :lol:
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

Hi all, it's been quite a while since I posted an update for my on-going project. I haven't actually done a whole lot recently due to lack of funds and I would have taken more pics but the weather hasn't exactly been great lately :lol:.
Since the last update I have gone EK9 with the grill and lights. I've also got HIDs fitted which I now think everyone on here should do as they are great! The rims are different from the last update due to a crash I had back in March time (some of you may remember). They're only temps though. I now have a Greddy Evo 2 exhaust (cat back) which replaced my old Powerflow. I have also fitted a aerial block off plate. Thank you to Hond-R for the work. Here are a couple pics:
Next up is a set of...
sold the scoob yesterday (making almost a 100% profit lol) and went straight down to get this.
3.0L V6
GLS model so has all the toys :)
Just give her a wash and wax so heres the pics,
Plans are are graphics (of course lol)
Walnut dash is getting colourcoded blue to match bodywork
Thinking about colour coding the full bottom half of the car so its all blue
So heres My Kia Ceed.
It's a 1.6 CRDi (Standard output was 89BHP) Currently the Car has 125BHP and 234Lb Ft of Torque
Have a 57i Induction Kit from K&N Fitted
Removed the Standard Kia Badges and repalced them with these
Removed the CAT from the exhaust
Forgot to take a pic with the straight through pipe on.
Also have an Aftermarket JVC Headunit installed
Here's some photos of the G60 I had a few years back. I would recommend one to anyone. It was amazing to drive. It was running 210bhp with a standard pulley. It sounded amazing with the combo of a stage 4 charger and a supersprint exhaust !!
It was a bit unpractical for going up and down the motorway each day though especially being left hand drive. But it was fun !!
Hey All.
Took the new-look wrapped 'ssat to GTi Spring Festival 2010 and couldn't resist a few 1/4 mile passes:

My best of the day was a 13.219 sec
I *know* I could have got into the 13.1's if only I was carrying less fuel. Had just over a 1/3 of a tank. Royally messed up my calculations as to how much fuel I would need to get there this morning.
Couple of photos from the official track photographer:
Hi i want to develop my Daihatsu Charade G 10 engine as a racing machine can you explain how do i do that thanks almost i done below mentioned things

hi everybody, it was nice to get a message from the moderator Wayne who wondered where I was since no one heard from me in a long while. It is nice to be missed.
So here I am, been busy building my 88 Jaguar XJS, some modifications and alot of new parts.
Sounds like a mean machine now with straight pipes.
I'll post some more pics.
There's more in my profile. At present it's waiting on a couple more mandrel bends to arrive so we can finish the FMIC pipework. Since this phot was taken a few more bits have been added to the engine bay but not a great deal, mainly just some chromed items.
Hopefully we'll find time in the next week or so to get it all together, we need the ramp space anyway.:lol:
I'll add some more phots, probably to my profile, when it's back on four wheels.
Todays standard screen resolution is 1024x768 pixels. Some use higher res, some use lower, but this seems to be the most used res. When using a BB such as this with this screen res, the largest you want to upload a picture is 800pixels wide, as otherwise the screen is widened and you have to scroll along to see the pic, and also any text posts after it aswell - which is not fun!
So bear in mid when resizing your pics, not to go wider than 800 pixels wide!
Now, for you folk with graphics programmes such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro (personally I use PSP7) resizing is easy. Just open that programme, open the pic(s) you want to resize and go to your RESIZE option. With most of these programmes you can choose a percentage or a pixel...

Hi all, in my time away from this fantastic forum I went to TRAX 2008. It was a great day out and a real experience. There was a good show of car clubs from across the UK, and the largest collection of Fords and Vauxhalls I have ever seen! There was also action on the track and a chance to do a run. In the show area there was a selection of ICE-out rides, dancing girls (sorry...no pics) and various stuff to buy. EA (Electronic Arts) were also showing previews of some the new games due out soon! There was also the great finally of hundred's of modified cars leaving at once.
