Matt black SSC aero

The stunning Aero from SSC fought to get the title of the worlds fastest production car.

We tracked down this awesome looking matt black version at a show and thought we’d look at how the performance and tuning of this car has evolved over it’s production run.


Cabriolet Ford Escort Project

A stunning example of the Ford Escort Cabriolet with custom interior, custom paint, stunning wire wheels and a full makeover. We have yet to see a better example of this future classic car.

This car went on to win the best in Britain 2007, and was in a music video by Platinum & H20 Love Shy.


Mk1 Astra GTE engine swap to a 2.5 v6

ake is the sort of guy that sees a big engine and buys it and then works out how to fit it to his car. Most people do things the other way round but let’s see if Jakes buy it and see what happens philosophy paid off.

He tells us that he’s pretty much always been into mechanics, “fixing and repairing… I picked up this Astra in August 2004 for a bargain price of £130 tax and tested. It was a 1981 mk1 Astra 1200s, in red (apparently), although in the trade it’s called “shit brick orange”. The car was solid, 32,000 miles on the clock, and 4 previous owners.


Badgers 2.0 Vectra Turbo engine swap project.

Meet Torquecars member BAD63R or Badger, his name is really Andy but he’s been called Badger ever since he can remember (due to his surname) and lives in sunny England.

He currently owns a Calibra and a Vectra and has the habit of swapping engines in his cars. We knew that when he said he had got a Vectra and had no plans to modify it it would only be a matter of time before he started with the mods, but we were certainly not expecting a turbo engine transplant!
