Hello friends,
I am presenting my second Audi TT built. Main idea was to restore Audi TT MK2 body, replace whole default body kit with TT RS body kit.
Second part will be tuning. I hope we will start in next two weeks, regarding we are still collecting all parts. So more about tuning will be very soon.
Third part should be interior restoration.
If you have any comment, please do not hesitate. I hope I will get maximum of support here, and for shore learn something.

Thanks for the welcome reception to the forum guys. Just a quick update, I have a design planned out for my custom fabricated rollcage and should be starting to make a full size model of it as soon as I can get enough card tubes to play around with it. :-)
So, I love my vehicle, but the Cockpit seems a little dated. I am going to upgrade and change the console to something more 2000'ish. I mean I am going to attempt to remanufacturer and update the metal, increase the room, and the like.
I am also going to do a leather interior upgrade and considering the Cowhide embossed like Alligator Blue inserts for the seats...
Let not forget the mention the Artificial Intelligence Head Unit with a HP VR Backpack G2 computer, as well....
Hey, this is what im planning to do to my factory standard 1997 Nissan Bluebird.
i bought this after i crashed my mazda mx3 which was the beginning of a project. so i decided to modify this instead as around here there isnt any properly modified Bluebirds in New Zealand. (mostly boyracers just putting fat exhausts and lowering springs.)
ok so its had abit of rust form under the wing mirrors in the past and the previous owners have removed it properly, but then resprayed the area in a different colour green. (dark green is factory colour, light green is aftermarket rust coverer)
i had a racing exhaust on my mazda which i took off when i crashed and have put onto the car already.
my plans for the future are as follows.
-i plan to...
Hi, Well I thought it was about time I started a little project log on my little Megane.
I bought this Megane in January this year and so far have not done too much to it, but have a long list of jobs to be done.
Here are some pics of how it looked when I picked it up.
Not really done much to it so far, apart from changing the aerial to a small bee-sting style one and adding smoked side repeaters.
On the inside I have just finished adding full leather interior.
Jobs to do include fitting 17" Kei Fuji alloys (Black), Sports exhaust system, M3 style mirrors etc.
Will upload some more pics as soon as I get the interior fitted and hopefully as each job gets done.
The aim is to have a nice looking Meg with some...
Here is my completely standard car with couple of rust patches here and there, was not expenive and initially was meant to be my runabout but because of different issues car is going to stay with me longer so I decided to do some work on it
Here are my plans as in 'say hello section'
-deep dish wheels
-clear front indicators (instead of orange ones)
-removing rust patches :smile:
-facelift bonnet with 'avantgarde' grill
-facelift taillights
Next
-lowering the car 40mm r/f (not sure whether invest a bit more and buy suspension kit or just springs but we will see)
And
complete respray in dark black with possible white roof (car is in blue-black at the moment)
maybe: changing interior for black one (silver currently) and some...
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the kind coments and for making me feel so welcome,
my plans for the car, ultimatley a DOHC VTEC transplant but thats for another day, i'm not really one for big ostentacious bodykits, i prefer the subtle approach so a set of 18"s (i know i said subtle but they won't fill the arches completely) and some lowering springs and shocks will be the first thing to do as she already has the look of the Type R minus the boot spoiler. then will come the big brake conversion but apart from that i will pretty much leave her looking stock
Cheers Guys, progress will be slow but i will endeavor to keep you all updated

Hey all, been a while!! have had more kids and work/bikes etc has all been a bit manic, so iv not really been posting online much!
well, what have i been up to since i went away....
Last you guys saw of me i had my first proper bike, the Sv650s:
Then i got rid of that and bought a Yamaha Thundercat:
Then i got bored and bought this Yamaha FZ6:
which i promptly turned into this:
Then i sold that and bought this SV1000SZ:
Which i got offered a great deal on to see me on my (realistic) dream bike, a 2004 K4 Suzuki GSXR 600:
It has a shedload of trick bits, and im working my way through replacing every bearing,bush and consumable item on the bike so pretty soon she will be absolutely 100%...
Hey everyone,
got the car to Wakefield Park Supersprint last weekend and managed another PB if only by .22 of a second, now at 1:13:25 and will be trying to get into the 12's next event.
Toyo's are 2 years old now and even thought they still have life left in them I imagine they are quite a bit harder than when I first got them so thinking a new set will help to get me under the 13 sec mark.
Posted time had me finishing 27/101 and even half a second shouldl take me up another 5-6 places
Have probably got the car as far as I can with the handling and will now have to look at power and weight reduction. Power going to be costly so will have to start saving before any investments are made.
Brought a Carbon GT wing from Mu Secret...
Tbh all you pay for with something like a Forge or Pace FMIC is the name and good fitment. An £100 intercooler of the same capacity will do just as good a job.
I'll drop the pictures of my Sport here as I continue to personalise and upgrade her.
For anyone interested, here is a photo of my car. As can be seen, a little more work is required to get it road legal :-) But at least I have started.
Welllllll, there would be a picture here (less than 97kb as requested) if only the system would let me post it. It keeps saying that I have exceeded my quota by 67Kb! Help please Waynne

I'm starting a new project. It's my 95 Integra. Anyone have any good tips?
can i still put a turbo on this engine or do i need to get a 4g63 turbo engine??? i havent ordered it yet but i will in about 2 months but if any other engine suggestions i would like to hear them..
plus in on a budget of 2000.
I thought I would post up details of my other project.
Basically I am restoring an early 32GTR back to completely original spec that is exactly as it came out of the factory.
The car is a 1991 32GTR . Its main clain to fame is that it is in the rarest nissan factory colour . The code is BLO and it was a special order only.
It is a quite a strange pearlescent and can look grey, steel blue or even lilac in different lights.
I imported in from japan 2 or 3 years ago with the intention in having something different .......... a stock GTR
It seemed quite close to stock and only needed - suspension , air filters , exhaust and a few minor other things or so I thought.................
New Project has been going on and I hadn't been on the forum for a while so be indulgent! :P

Hi
I have an 2010 RS mkII (400 bhp, 500 nm) with the following mods:
- ECU remap (Autotech/JWR100)
- Airtec intercooler
- Scorpion turbo-back exhaust (decat)
- Bosch 650cc fuel injectors
- Mountune airbox with an additional custom 3" bottom intake pipe
- K&N air filter
- GGR engine mount
- Powerflex front bushes
- Roose silicone hose kit (upper engine bay)
- RS rallyflapz
- Compomotive Motorsport wheels, satin black, 18x9" (with TPI black wheel nuts and painted black standard brake calipers)
- Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta XL 97Y tyres, 265/35/18
I bought the car brand new 15 months ago and went with a stage 1 remap + intercooler only after 3 months of ownership. Another 3 months later I had exhaust, injectors, and a few other bits...
Everything was working fine when I bought this car three years ago. Upon further inspection it was revealed the car had been in an accident. I had a body shop pull the damaged area and after that the horn, headlights, and wipers would not work. The car has been sitting in my garage ever since.
Has anyone had this problem or know what I should look for? The damage was to the drivers side front by the tire and window washer reservoir.
Hey guys, This my project car that i have been working on for the last two years. Started out as a 1.4L which somehow didn't like me much so after that blew i sourced a 2.0L 8 valve from a 98 model opel 200is kadett. All was running well until i got bitten by the boost bug again and was offered a m62 eaton off of a merc c230 kompressor and some 6 months later the hooligan was born. I'm running at 9 psi boost unmapped with the 1.4L gearbox which gives most high end cars a run (power to weight ratio) till we run at distance and they go past on account of my short ratios.
A few weeks ago my elderly mother was told she was no longer allowed to drive, so she offered her car to me a 1978 datsun 120y gl in its only done 51200 kms its in reasonable condition for a 31 year old car so i have decided to restore it and run it in the bay to birdwood classic car run next year if i get it finished in time. Will do some pics soon.
This picture of the radiator grille and surround gives a clue to the standard of build that I am hoping to achieve. I found to my surprise that the original radiator was in very good condition. I have to say I was impressed with it's construction which is entirely from brass and copper. I think it could be fairly described as a work of art. The grille, however required a lot of fettling and chrome plating which I handed over to Derby Platers. They are excellent but expensive. The emblem was damaged and being black and white was for a later car anyway. I was incredibly fortunate in finding a perfect 1949 MG emblem.
