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...
guyz upload new car seat cover for your dream car interior:bigsmile:
The Pictures Are On My Page, Please Let Me Know What You Think, And Any Improvements Youd Reccomend Etc. :bigsmile: Thanks

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...
Here's the Volvo.
It's my first car (I'm 30 now, had it for 3 years, late starter!) Modding it started off as just a Remap to perk it up a bit and grew from there...
Runs 228bhp at the wheels 5000-6000, and 275lb-ft Torque at the wheels at 2500rpm on 97Ron
1/4 mile at 100mph terminal dead - There are quicker cars around, but you really have to experience the flexibility and mid-range of a tuned T5 to believe it.
It's a torquey quick car out on the road during in real world conditions.
Timed at 30-70=5.4, 50-70=3.0

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...
Offerred to polish up a mates severly oxidised red Corsa (don't know what was worse, driving a Vauxhall or that it has winy windows!!!!!). Two passes with G3 and will go over the whole thing with a pass of Megs 83/80 (I forget which one is the lighter one).
From this:
To this:
I managed to do the bumper, bonnet, wing mirror, and door before it got dark. You can see where I stopped polishing towards the back lol.
What you reckon? Coming up nice so far no?
now with pics a quite quick estate car
Just registered so a few details of my car which I think qualifies as unusual
Car is a Nissan Stagea - basically a skyline estate. Most have the single turbo RB25 engine with auto box and are quite rare.
This however one is one of the even rarer cars with 4wd and the twin turbo GTR engine and manual gearbox .
Cant post pics yet (under 10 posts) so a brief spec as I dont want to make my first post an essay
Tuned RB26DETT engine dynod at 413 bhp with 340 ftlbs of tourque at 3500 rpm.
Nismo body kit and recaro interior,
Uprated brakes , suspension and steering .etc.
Anyway Im now off to look at the rest of the site.
Now have 10 posts so here are some pics
Hi
this is my awesome chevy project :D
it is a Chevrolet Suburban made in the fine year 1985 with a 6,2 liter diesel engine. the plan was to do something cool with the paint but since that plan was made the automatic transmission thought it would be a great idea to break down :lol: but it is raised for 35" tyres by icelandic standards NOT the american way :lol:
So now the plan is...
1. Take care of ALL rust in the car ( witch is not much )
2. Put some awesome color on it maybe matte black or matte candy apple red or maybe gloss candy apple red I have´nt made the selection yet :)
3. Put some cool rims on it
4. Stereo
5. Lighting ( xenon )
6. Re-tint the windows
7. New Grille
this will all take a lot of time but I...
Well as alot of you know I've spent the last year building a Vectra GSi C20LET turbo. Well, as mentioned she took nearly a year to complete but then got board and have now got something a little better lol. Can't list everything thats done but here is the short version:-
full HKS Hipower 3" exhaust system turbo back,5" tailpipe!
*decatted,
*flamer kit,
*uprated suspension,
*Recent spark plugs
*rear privacy glass
*small leather momo style steering wheel,with sti centre and original nardi included
*crystal smoked rear lights
*crystal front headlights
*12” sub and Rockford fosgate amp in boot
*Jbl front component speakers
*Pioneer 6x9s in rear shelf
*smoked side lights
*smoked side repeaters
*clear indicators
*face lift...
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.
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

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 ;)
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:

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?
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.

Thats all for now anyway :)
Hey All.
Finally got a video of the W8 with Magnaflows on :)

Unfortunately it was taken on the iPhone - its also got a nice deep crackle and pop that the phone just didn't pick up on... but you get the idea!
Was being rev'd to ~ 4500rpm of 6200rpm redline.
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.
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...

Over the winter I hope to continue the front rub strip across the number plate recess, Schmidt Modern Lines 3pc (going to try to get bigger dishes so i can run 9.5/10 at the rear, Porsche Tombstones and then retrim them in leather and alcantara with rear bench to match. Clio 197 steering wheel. There is currently a group buy for bagyard stuff on a local forum so i may purchase the management for the airride.
cheers for reading :D
because i have a vast amount of pictures, and the fact that i would have to re-size them all here are the links to the albums i have on my facebook profile. so you can all view at your leisure.

Renault Clio 172 Cup
only 3k :o
get to pick it up in 2-3weeks, just waitin for my contract from work to say they taking me on for good
took it out for a test drive and my god its quick
not my normal choice for a car as i tend to like longer cars like big hatches saloons or coupes, but i decided to go for something a bit cheaper, and cheaper on insurance, and well more sensible (just for a few years :twisted:)
well what you think?
gonna mainly concentrate on slight astetic changes, a new induction kit as the one on the car just looks like a cheap ebay buy, and cat back, and at a push a remap, nothing drastic as im planning on buying the house im in in...

Hello everyone.
I am originally from Lithuania, but residing now in Denmark where i have my sweet little car detailing shop and well i have just recently become a BMW fan.. Big time!
Now a bit of Prologue:
So i have been searching for a bmw e30 for 2 weeks. Surprisingly it become a sort of a challenge to even buy one, as here in Denmark every1 started to sweep them like crazy. Somebody puts one for sale, you call a man in the morning and it is allready sold. And that repeated at least 10 times during 2 weeks. Crazy isn't?
So somehow a friend of mine stumbled upon a very nice e30 which was a coupe and that's how i ended up owning my first proper car (i had some old Opel astra hatch before which was horrible ). Funny thing is...
