Freddie · 7 August 2006

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...

Hello, I'm Stuart from norf essex and these are my my rides. The minor is in the process of being cut up ready to have the bulkhead and rear floor from the porsche welded in. The Porsche is sitting waiting to be stripped and cut up to donate organs forthe hybrid Minor. The Yank is a 1970 Plymouth Sport Satellite 318Cu-in (5211cc) V8 with Edelbrock performer intake manifold and Holley 600cfm secondary vac carburettor. It is also awaiting the fitment of a competition camshaft and 4-branch exhaust manifolds. And yes I know the General Lee was a Dodge charger and I have stickered up the wrong car. The Rover 2200sc is completley standard and original and is staying that way. :wink:

ivanclife · 6 March 2007

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...

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...

1988 Renault 9 Here are some pictures of my Renault 9! Now i'm only 17 so it's older than me! In good nick though =] What do you think? =] The only thing I might change are the reg plates. They look a bit old, but my dad says the fact that they have the original dealer's name on each one means something like it shows there's been no major front or rear end damage? I don't know. Either way, I may change them. Oh and also the old stickers in the back window! A job that I keep forgetting about! Yep, there it is =]

Here we are then guys. This is the journey to my quick Vectra lol. This is the 2.0 16v Calibra Turbo engine for the Vectra that i bought. Well the new engine is in and just waiting for 1 part which should be here tomorrow. The engine went in no problem and turns over with ease. We just need to sort the coil as the older engine hasn't got electronic ingnition. So here's our journey to the stage I am at, at the mo First things first, ROAD TRIP!!! Couple of shots of the new engine So then it was out with the old... Which left the poor Vectra without it's "Hamster in-a Wheel Power" lol

Cisco26uk · 15 June 2007

I bought the car in 2002 for £250 and have since spent an ever increasing amount of money on it, a year ago I decided to bite the bullet and as I had made a few contacts and friends in the right circles I booked it in for an engine rebuild but as things went on we found more and more things causing problems (rust mainly) and it turned into a bit of a nightmare. I really have a thing for classic motors so I pushed on and volunteered my services after work and at the weekends. It has been a long road but things are starting to come good and I am hoping to have it all finished for the show at the end of June. Unfortunately I cannot afford a respray and all the work besides so please excuse the mismatching panels. It did look quite good...

Then just after i started to record this vid she let loose, free'd everything up and shot into over boost like there was no tomorrow lmao.

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...

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 !!

obi_waynne · 25 June 2008

Car was really dirty - I forgot it was Purple! The bug spray I used was rubbish - it left marks in the paint. Instead I used a halfords colour restorer which is a bit like t-cut but a lot milder. Rather than rub hard -wipe on and off and it took off the tar as well leaving lovely smooth paint. There were a few scuffs on the wing etc... so I used T-Cut to remove these. The alloys looked like they were black and dark grey! After washing the paint still had steaks so I used a shammy. Alloy wheels got a thorough washing over. I then scrubbed the alloys and use CITRIC acid on the areas which were badly soiled. The washed bonnet looked good but not a deep shine and there were still swirls in the paint...
