I saw this at the Midland Game Fair this afternoon, at first I thought it was a Aston Martin Rapide but it's not, then i thought it may be a kit car based on a Nissan (see the Z on the front flank). Now I just don't know! :lol: Can anyone shed some light on this car for me please? :embarrest:

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.
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...
Freelander has been part exchanged for this:

Collecting next week all being well. Just waiting on DVLA to transfer my reg :)
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...
I had made some references to my other vehicle, a 1991 Dodge Stealth ES. I bought this car new when I graduated from college. I have made the following mods:
Cold Air Intake
3SX Performance Headers and High Flow CConverter
3SX Performance CV joints
KYB sport struts
Addco Sway Bars
Moog Bushings
Goodyear F1 GSD3's
Clutchmaster Stage 1 system
Stillen drilled rotors, pads, quick bleeders, and SS brake lines
Modified fuel rail
Custom Aluminum defrost vents
Alpine stereo, MBQuart speakers, Kenwood Amp, 8" Kicker Subwoofer
Viper alarm system with pager
Tinted Windows
Battery maintenance charger
approx. 250HP and 250FT/LB Torque

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...
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 :)
I have a full stainless dual exit exhaust system, simota forced air induction kit, would've had a set of 18" inovit blade alloys but my gearbox decided to die lol so there next, do you guys have any ideas on mods?? any engine type, i dont have a clue what to do with it
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. ^.^
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.
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
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.

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...

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
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...

Comments???
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
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...
not sure how to shrink my photos to fit here but I was able to post them in the gallery if anyone would like to check it out ;)
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:
Hi guys.
As i'm sure a few of have read, i have the car booked for some toys and a rolling road setion. Well in the mean time i've been buying up the extra toys that I could without buying them through the tuning company.
What I have so far comprises of:-
New Samco piping for the Blow off Valve.
New Samco cuplink for the Air Intake pipe.
New Samco Water hoses.
New Samco Braded Fuel lines.
A few stickers which include Blitz, HKS Power and the Tuning company I use Xspec.
Also and this is the one I can't wait for, is a sheet of sticky back carbon fibre. It's no thicker than a sheet of vinyl, woven like true carbon fibre and becasue I already have a light weight bonnet from Japan, I dont need to worry about just buying a carbon fibre...
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.
