Well as the misses is now only 3 weeks away from having our baby, I thought it was time to move on from the Scooby and be a little more sensible for a the next 18 months-2years. So I decided to get rid of the scooby and get a bit more of a realistic family car but still has 200bhp
Well i''ve come back to the Vauxhall world once again lol.
So without any further ado heres my new motor. Well pleased with it. Absolutly mint, great service history, mint interior and with having a Billet flywheel it really does go well. Magnex back box which i'm gonna swap over for a new double d one. Cone filter which i've already reaplaced with a K&N panel filter and has actually made it accelrate quicker, so the same thing happened here as what...
As a few of you know we've been expecting our first baby and at 9:13am this morning (27/02/09) little Lucy-Jane came into the world. She is 3 weeks early but very healthy and fully developed. Both mother and baby are doing well. Lianne is in over night of course and should be back home tomorrow.
Here's my baby girl:-
I'll get a couple more shots when shes back home and settled.
I'm sooooo happy, and it looks like I got the new car just in time lmao. Almsot as if she knew lol.
Cheers BAD63R
My S2000. Pics 13/8/09

Got some pics while I was out today. Car is totally standard now but I have a K&N Gen II FIPK induction kit for it. just not fitted yet.
Also iv just ordered a chargespeed vented bonnet from japan and have just ordered these in 17's:
Suposed to sit a bit wider on the car and make it look mean once lowered :twisted:

Right thought it would be a good idea to start one of these just to give you all and idea on what i am doing with my car and get opinions and ideas, wont be as in depth as some others who are rebuilding entire cars but should be enough for people to view and enjoy.
I will be posting pictures up in the next few days when i have an hour to spare. Including what i have done to the car already and maybe a little sneak preview of my allloy project.
Deffinate plans for the future:
Finish alloys
Spray exhaust and fuel cap
fibre glass sub enclosure
New head and tail lights
Maybe plans for the future:
Rear splitter
Exhaust sytem (just want to add a little rumble)
Tinted Windows
Suggested light engine mods (seeing as i...
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.
D
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.
Am also looking for under car neon light kits. If anyone has the contacts please post them here.

Re: Hey folks :D
Ok so here it is. I took these about 4 days after buying the car so it is pre-valet and pre-gunked engine.
Note the red Honda badge. It doesn't look like the original has been swapped but there aren't any TypeR Accords this early so I guess it must have been. Ignore the red circle, I was highlighting areas for attention to remind myself. This is a rust spot *shakes fist*
If you are familiar with 5th gens you'll notice I ripped the number plate mounting off. The plate looks a lot more flush with the bumper now.
Note the fake TypeR stickers. Another painful reminder of the car's history and how it was treated. The bump strips will be removed and am thinking about refurbing the honda wheels in white until I can...

Hi all :)
The icelandic Ford Mustang Owners Club & the Icelandic Drag Racing Club held an open day for U.S.A cars on the Drag Strip.
BE AWARE
I am a total NOOB at taking pictures at the strip !!!
Please be gentle :embarrest:
Camera : Canon G7 with Wide Converter WC-DC58B 0.75x
And please comment on the pics and maybe give me some advice ? :cheesy:
the rest of the pics are at www.ingvarp.is in the album "muscle day"

Picked up my new runabout the other day, a 56 plate 1.9JTDM Alfa Romeo GT in Lipari Grey with red leather interior. Also has the optional £1500 18" wheel upgrade. Spent 4 hours last night washing, claying, polishing and waxing the exterior. Also cleaned and sealed the wheels. So, here she is! :o
I will be modding her slightly but don't want to go too mad. Plans are:
Give the Interior and engine bay a good going over.
Clean, condition and protect the leather.
Remap
Possibly FMIC
Lower 25mm on Eibach Springs and Koni FSD suspension.
Alfa Romeo 4-pot Brembo Calipers and larger discs.
Alfa Romeo Tax Disc holder.
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
Right been out today and bought a 1992 Escort Cab. It's a 1.6i and its grey. It's got 17 inch wheels and lowered suspension. Pics are to follow in the next couple of days.
I went to Prescott today to the Midsummer speed fest practice, I'll post pics of that tomorrow ;) However the showstopper for me was this very special Split screen VW.
The only original panel is the front one! The whole chassis is custom fabricated... well actually everything is custom fabricated! It's running a 911 engine which I think the guy said it's running about 280bhp. It's sitting on airbag suspension & is built to dragstrip regs, although it's not seen any action yet. Oh & it's road legal. XD
All I need is a pot of gold to buy it now. ^.^
Hi everyone, my names Matt and i have a 307 1.6 16v Rapier. Have only modded this a little but want to continue until i need to buy a new one :)

Ok so here we go ford fiesta st start its life off as a normal day to day car then someone bright idea the other halfs to change the hell out of it lol hmmmm!! Good idea or not we find out one day! So this is how this little fez started Plain jane.
Then the 8.5mm magneco leads are fitted along with the K&N induction kit and piper cat back and also lowered on eibachs and the front and rear strut braces are put in and the new rs7 put on her and then the mongoose flexi pipe. Upgraded breaks, Greenstuff pads and Bonnet raisers.
She went off for some graphics to be done.
And then bang engine blew up piston straight through the engine and after being stuck on the M25 with not a happy other half as for once I was not driving lol! we got...

The pulsar is going into storage.. so i can spend some time on this..
just found my best car find to date.. got talking to one of the builders who is doing some work on my house.. He told me his dad had one of them toyota rally cars thats been sitting in his garage for over 6 years. . it needed moving due to him leaving... so i said i would pop round to view it.. you could not even see the car in the garage.. but as soon as it was clear of rubbish.. it turned out to be a UK GT4 90,000 with full service history prior to storage and in the rare colour... He took it off the road due to a cracked rad as he thought he had to import one for japan.. ...Anyway on closer inspection in tured out to being a carlos sainz edition number 2356...
Freelander has been part exchanged for this:

Collecting next week all being well. Just waiting on DVLA to transfer my reg :)
I thought I would post up pictures of my 1997 Saab 900. So far its mostly stock but I have a good list of mods planned, it keeps changing as time goes on but I think i have finally decided on a few for sure. I have owned this car for nearly a year now, and have taken good care of it, fixing a few things here and there, but now I think its time for the mods.
Few Rust spots on the tip of the bonnet, getting fixed with rest of rust.
Rust on the rear wheel well on both sides, getting patched and painted within the next month.
You can see the rear panel under the passenger light is black instead of the green, thats from when I was rear ended by a jeep and found a replacement part, it will be painted when the rust spots are...
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.
Saw this very straight 70's Oldsmobile Cutlass (I think :confused:) in my local carpark, the naff phone pics don't do the car justice. The matt black paint works really well with the chrome & the 442 decals on the flanks & rear. The Pseudo rivets aren't quite my cup of tea but then if we liked the same thing it would get very boring very quick! Aside from that the car looked just great! :bigsmile:
When I just got her:
After playing around with white GT stripes first, I settled for these custom Matt Silver ones:
Fitted a MotorCade CAI kit:
Then some engine bay bling:
And I Colour coded the inside of the headlights Matt Black:
Then tinted the rear lights.
You will see I dropped the suspension with a H&R 35mm drop, and fitted Racing Heart concepts Racer Series rims.
Hope you like!!!
Comments will be welcome. :love:
I need a bigger drive! :lol:

Hi All
well i am now able to post some images.
i have been into improving cars a while and started with a little fiesta was standard when i got it and this is it when i got rid.
after this i moved onto a ford escort cabby 1.6, i done the same again with it, changed the wheels, lower, de-cat, droped a better z-tec engine in and it looked like this.
then when this one had to go i was thinking about whats next? so i got a rs2000, long list already done to it, was running 180bhp and the car drove like a dream
now i have my son and a home etc to worry about so i now have this motor :)
thought i would take the 4th gen into work today so i could show my mates misses the car plus get a pic for the comp
just about tto go and a customer come in and wanted to have a ride so we went for a quick drive up the road just say i have never been up that part of the road so quick before ;)
to to add before some one deoes the car is dirty as it has not been washing in 3 weeks and the car is for sale at the min on ebay
and my comp pic

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...
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:-

Had a Frontera for a bit...
Had a little play with one of the shots of the Calibra today to see what colour wheels are going to look best and i'm seriously not too sure as they both look really good. The wheels I want are from a Vectra GSi pre-facelift (Mk1 Vectar GSi) So first off heres the original shot:-
And here are the 2 possible colour ways:-
White.
Satin Black with laquor over the top.
What do you reckon I should go for then peeps?
