hi everyone just thought i would let you all know i have struck a deal on a really well sorted and solid fiesa rs turbo that i will be collecting later this month :)

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...
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..
I thought id put these in the right place its a 1998 volvo v70r front wheel drive version with manual gearbox (rare) ive had it a year and done quite alot to it in the time i've had it with more to come, should be running around 330bhp at the minute.

Some photos of my toys :-)
I bought the Robin Hood as a way of getting used to rear wheel drive again and to have some fun in a reasonably quick, well handling, motor. 2 litre Pinto, approx 140bhp.
The photos of the Elan show it at the 1985 Street Race Championships just before I wrecked the engine and being dug out of the garage prior to the total rebuild presently being undertaken.
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

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:

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...
Alright so, I purchased the new (not really new) Saab 900 this past week, just picked it up Wednesday, and let me tell you, fast fast fast!
It is a 1995 900 SE, 2.0T, 3 door coupe / hatch ! The previous owner is a friend I met through Saab events and saablink. He did a substantial amount of work to the car, all of which are very noticeable. The list includes :
-900 transmission swapped for a 1999 9-3 transmission, which is hydraulic versus cable.
-Upgraded shifter linkage, much sturdier
-Stock turbo swapped for larger TD04 turbo from a Saab 9000 Aero
-Cat delete
-Full 2.5inch Flowmaster from cat delete back
-Stage 2 road tune from a genius by the name of Mike D.
-Custom intake piping leading to open air intake
-Boost Guage...
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...
My S2000. Pics 13/8/09
Here it is, my Indy yellow pearl Honda S2000
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:
Comments???
Finally moved on from polo's and given this a try. What do you think. Good or bad?
Also I have been told they are known to go through headgaskets so I am going to replace that asap. It is 2000 reg with 52,000 miles on the clock. The whole car is mint except from one small dent on the right rear arch which im probably going to get a body shop to repair it. But for now I am going to leave the car as is.

About 4 weeks ago when I was rebuilding our garden, I found a semi good size wolf-spider (The big-ass ones you find in the bath that run around like Rooney in the Prem lmao!)
Any way, I thought i'd move him out of the way so I didn't kill it. I put it in a whole on an old victorian wall we have running down the side of the garden. I then fitted a sheet of trellis to the wall a day or 2 later and noticed he built himself a really nice home. So every time i found a daddy-long legs or beetle or fly or whatever, i through it in the web.
Well yesterday was the first time I had seen it in 4 weeks and bloody hell.... It's by far the biggest spider in the wild i've seen in this country. I obviously could get the measure on him lol, but...
Ok so hear is my Bad boy car witch i love sooooo much..
like i said in my intro iv not done hardly any thing to him accept break upgrade and a few other bits to the engine (keeping it tip top)
Enjoy it as this time next year he will be a DUB Show car.. Mwohahaha ;)
P.S Girls who drive Dubs are by far the coolist people (not that im biost lol)
Freelander has been part exchanged for this:

Hi all
I thought I would share some pics of my new ride :cheesy:
so this is a Skoda Octavia Combi 2000 model It has a 1,6 ltr engine and works quite well with all the 100 hp :toung:
there are some future mods planned out for this ride for example
Lowering kit
17" rims
tinted windows
exhaust system
stereo
engine tune up
here are the pics ( taken on a phone )
the rims going on the car
it has some minor damage to the body whitch I will fix as the money allow it :p
If anyone has some tuning advise please reply to the thread and tell me about it, dont really know what to do with the engine :cheesy:
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.
Well, Unfortunately the Calibra is gone :( But on the flip side, i've now gt a family car I'm very happy with and quite surprised I got the deal to be fair. Payed £700 for the Calibra back in October last year, I've run the tax and MOT out and swapped it for this Vectra which was listed for £1500. Plus I got £200 on top as well which I was really surprised to be offered. But at the end of the day, an enthusiast bought it and he said he'll pay what he thinks it's truly worth. So deal done :):):)
Any who, shes a 2001 Y reg 2.6 Vectra SRi. Not 100% of the name of the colour yet lol but I really like it. Absolutely mint interior with no mark at all on the half leather. 96,000 miles with only 2 owners before me (last one had it 7 years)...

HI all, heres some details of a little buggy i built last year, its a scratch built Lotus 23 race car, originally built with a K20 Type R engine, but a minor mishap saw it repowered with a K24 Turbo unit.
engine is mounted in the rear in a north south configuration and runs through a Subaru trans axle converted to front drive and turned upside down.
engine is stock with a Skunk inlet manifold and manual 80mm throttle body and is dry sumped with an IT power integrated pump pan unit.
running on E85 with a mild tune it has 310 RWHP and 460ftlbs of torque, and in a car that only weighs 550kg its fairly quick to say the least.
Only major problem so gar has been the drive line wasnt strong enough for so much torque, the original Lotus 23...
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
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...
Here's some pics of my gto tt , Its slowly getting to the condition that i want , So far its had the old cloth on the seats removed and replaced with leatherette , full 3" custom made exhaust , old electric shocks and springs changed to avo chassis dynamic springs and kyb adjustable shocks , goodridge brake hoses and rossini drilled and grooved discs , front and rear strut braces and a wee bit of engine polishing , oh and of course a turbo upgrade from the old 9bs to 13t , plus 19" alloys .
I just need some piping to install my fmic and wire in the avc-r boost guage ..
John
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.
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 !!
This is the car that has spawned my i think slightly unhealthy love of the Mx5 1998 and Previous, It is a 1.6i Eurons Roadster, I brought it in Australia and this is the car i taught my self to drift and slight around in on the dirt tracks in the country, that should be added to everyones bucket list, Rear wheel drive car on perfectly flat dirt roads. :)
Couldnt figure out how to post on here so i have included a link :D
