Just a reminder to everyone that we now all have car photo storage space. http://www.torquecars.com/forums/all_albums.php Resize your pics to 90kb or so before uploading them otherwise you'll be there all day. I'd love to see pics of your cars, your cars modifications, projects, work in progress and shows that you have been to.:love: Your album will also show up in your profile so your profile is now even more of a personal website!
There is a new gallery on the site which members can upload pictures to. You have to be logged in to view the members galleries and features. https://www.torquecars.com/forums/media/ I've been uploading the old gallery pics and have just done the london motorshow pictures. (2-3000 More photos to come soon!) https://www.torquecars.com/forums/media/categories/car-shows.1/ You get to your own gallery through your Profile Control panel and your gallery will show up in your profile and become a part of the site gallery.

Welcome to the Spotted thread. Have you seen another TC'er or something out of the ordinary that made you stop & stare? If so take a snap & post it here! :D No web finds please, keep it to real cars on the street, car park, garage, your mates house, out side the pab etc...;) Here Is my first offering... Seen outside Halfrauds in Cannock this afternoon. The cars belonged to members of the Cannock & district car club & they were there helping to raise money for the County Air Ambulance.
Hi all, I thinking of getting a Vauxhall agila B as a project car. I was wondering what's the biggest engine you could swap into one due to the limited engine sizes. Could for instance you put a 1.4 turbo corsa engine in one???
Since I first posted about my Toyota a few days ago I know it's been the talk of the forum.Obviously anyone with a mk1 Avensis will understandably be the focus of much envious attention.I'm used to it when I see the drivers of Porsches and M5s stare with such longing at my car,sometimes I truly think I should remove the vvti badges from the wings because it feels like sheer gloating lol. Nah,I do get stares but their usually either in amusements or from people who think I must be driving about thinking I've got the coolest car in town or something.It's an Avensis,a mini cab drivers dream car of the late 90s,early 2000s but for some daft reason it's really grown on me and I woud love to get a 250 bhp motor under there and embarrass all...

Hi everyone looking for some advice, having trouble with rear calipers on my mondeo st tdci, put recon ones on a year ago and the hand brake mechanism is starting to stiffen up causing a lot of bother, this is the second set i have fitted, this is a common fault on the mk3 mondeo and i was looking for some advice to see if there was another ford caliper that will sort this problem out. Any advice would be very much appreciated many thanks Caffer.
A few on here are well versed on the mods I’ve done to the old trusty Volvo ie..hybrid turbo,Nissan skyline R33 uprated intercooler,EGR/DPF delete,rebuit fuel pump and injectors,custom stainless exhaust,methanol injection kit and oil catch can breather system..Results...239BHP and 435ftlb of torque....just added a Wizard of nos nitrous kit..

Now when I'm turning the lights on the abs pump is working and the wires from the connector are getting worm.when i removed the relays the lights were still on. When i turn the ignition on sometimes the headlamps will turn on can somebody help me or dose enywone have wiring diagram for the headlamps so i can find something?
Exciting times here at Rvinyl! We just acquired a 2005 BMW 325xi sedan with the purposes of turning it into a show car. Every week we will be featuring the next phase of the project by adding a new accessory, wrap, part, tint and showing you the entire process of preparation, installation and outcome. Look for a ridiculous amount of videos, pics and posts as we literally srtrip this 2005 BMW 325xi down and build her back up again. As I said above, everything we do will be have an accompanying videos which we will post to our YouTube channel and our site. The project is expected to take between 6 months to a year to complete but so far the we have planned the following modifications and upgrades in more or less the order we plan to...
In this guide I will simply explain how to upload pictures onto this forum. Step 1 Sign up to an image hosting website. I use Photobucket. It is completely free. Step 2 Once you have created an account. You may wish to create an album if (like me) you like to keep things organised. Step 3 Create an album by filling in the details.

Step 7 Time to...
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.
Just discovered this great forum, so I'll be looking for ideas to make my BMW 325xi more fun to drive. It's a 5 speed with all wheel drive, so the first order of business is to change all the fluids. I'm trying to find commercial equivalents to proprietary BMW fluids. I'm inclined to believe that high quality synthetic 75W90 gear oil can go in the trans, differentials and the transfer case. My goal is to make this car last for a long time! Cheers!
update on the tiger cub trying to hang onto it as well as the belva but running out of excuses to tell the wife would like to put it back on the road for summer the belva being mid engine does get very hot so i have to take out the side windows to get some air then have to put them back when i leave it bit of a pain
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...... :)
OK, here is my attempt at Supercharging a Stock Australian Ford Falcon BA 4.0. The only things I didn't have to change was the intake manifold & Blower. Originally it came as a one-off Kit (but it was only half finished & didn't fit). So, everything bar the intake manifold/runners had to be re-designed & remade or re-machined. It cost me a Bloody fortune (at least twice as much as the original planed outlay).
this is a picture of my baby it is a 1977 firebird running a 454 big block corvette engine pushing out 675hp at the wheels does about 8mpg on a good day and 2mpg if i am racing it it has a th400 auto box and will do a 10sec 1/4 mile http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/pure-torque/firebird/Scan1.jpg
Hi . New to the site but loved the artical. Iam in the throws of rebuilding a AUM engine to go in my 150 TT. I intend to up grade it futher, as the engine in the car at the moment has already been re-mapped. Great result from the re-map, but like most of us I want more, so now have a second AUM enginesitting on the bench to play with. Having read the article, am I right in saying all 1.8t engines have the same bore and stroke dimensions, ie 81mm bore and 144mm stroke. I know the AUM has 19mm gudgen pins and are a weak point in the engine along with the con rods. SO ! I intend to buy to good "H" section rods, but wonder if I can fit BAM pistons. What Ya reckon guys ? Regards Bill
Just been out in this badboy about an hour ago and honestly I still haven't stopped grinning. THIS. IS. UNREAL. A mates but his uncle built it and sold it straight to him. From what I can remember... Full ST170 Conversion R6 Bike Carbs Omex ECU RS200 Close-ratio 4-speed box (110mph max! But my god is it frantic through the gears) G-max shocks and springs (cheap crap, too soft, need changing) Front strut brace Mini-lite alloys Heaters removed 216bhp and I forget the torque. Weight about 880kgs IIRC. And now the bit you've all been waiting for.... Still badged as a 1.6 ghia :lol: The sounds is just unbelievable and it's bloody quick, no traction whatsoever in first or second just spins up one rear wheel LSD is on...
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.
As requested some more pics of the beastie, I've got some more somewhere but annoyingly I can't find them! Here's what I can find... Some pics http://s312.photobucket.com/albums/ll326/piscisvisio/Jims%20Smart/ & some videos... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trL_lqHelEE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eTP9dkzypo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VzQKBkYO9I&feature=related Enjoy, Loz. :bigsmile:
My XJS Monaco XKR I actually sold this one and now have this one, which has had the engine pulled, stripped, stroked to a 4.2 and basically everything uprated, just need to get my hands on a Kenne Bell :twisted: This is my engine from my track car, this is an early pic before all the water was done properly and fuel lines I do like to play :D
Hey All. Took the new-look wrapped 'ssat to GTi Spring Festival 2010 and couldn't resist a few 1/4 mile passes: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6cihc1WOZ0 > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wYO-MCKIik 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:
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.
So this is my toyota starlet from 1996 with a 4efte conversion with megasquirt ECU, TD40 turbo running 0.7 bar and 174 hp. :) Firstly pictures with new wheels mounted And one with the old wheels.. The car has been modified so you can't see it's got a turbo engine mounted, even when you open the bonnet the original air filter is still in it's place, but with black pipes from the FMIC mounted behind the original air filter so you will have to go close up before you can see it's turbocharged. And the rear muffler kind of looks like the standard one, just a little larger and makes a great noise, not too loud either :) will post pictures tomorrow of the engine bay if people are interested :) Pics of machine ;)
My 1.8 16v Corrado soon to be modded :D My 1966 VW 13 Window R/H/Drive Deluxe Splitscreen Camper 1 of only 5 13 Window right hookers in the country of which only 2 are on the road and this is 1 of them :wink: shis my pride and joy :wink: 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 hopefully see ya around,and look out for me @ the dub shows :wink:
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...
