Hey, I'm looking at doing an engine swap for my MK1 Tigra, I was wondering what sugestions people had, I'm aware that I can't just shove a 6.5 L engine in their because of size and chasis strength etc... so what can I go to? Don't worry about gearbox etc.. all will be uprated, I just want to...

Ok, so officially the fastest acelerating and decelerting road car of all time, frequently brakeing the world records. You can build it yourself so you get to know the car intimatly to every nut and bolt. It has super car looks. Can seat 2 people, with leather seats, has aircon etc.. And can be...

Ok so I was driving down a national limit road the other day at reasonable speed when I went to change gear and noticed something was missing... My gear knob had fallen off and vanished. :lol: It reminded me of a story my dad once told me about back in the day he and his mates did loads of cars...

Ok, I was thinking about this last night, I looked at my car stats and it said maximum torque was measured at 4,000 RPM, though it didn't say in what gear -.- and it got me thinking that for optimum performance surely I should be looking at my torque charts to see when the best time to change...

Nothing to do with my confusion about speed changed last week. Ok so it turns out my wheels are currently 15" not 16, my mistake, looking to increase size still though, but the problem is comeing down to tyre sizes, i've been looking at it all night and working it out and worked out that for...

Ok I'm a little miffed here, I'm putting some 17" alloys on to allow bigger brakes and therefore improve handeling but I've seen people on here say that bigger wheels slow the car down. I don't really understand this as the way I look at it a bigger wheel is like a bigger cog, turn the smaller...

From what i've heard of remaps they're a good idea but I'm not sure about weather it's a good time for me? At the moment I'm looking at handling and styling, then power latter down the line with the likes of a turbo, but that could be years away so would it be worth getting a remap now to give...

Just curious what you think about the use of these on cars? http://www.osmoswheel.com/pages/application.asp I first saw these on motor bikes and thought the idea of putting them on cars would just be a concept one and that it wouldn't work but clearly I was wrong, however I was expecting it to...

Not for me this time, no I'm settled on my car at last Lol... For now:cheesy: This is for a friend of mine, she's just past her theory and wants to know what cars she can get, we all told her she couldn't have anything like a convertable sports car because of insurance, but the other night i...

I noticed there was no TVR section so thought I'd ask this here. so as you know I was going to mod my car up, but then the other day my eye fell upon a TVR Cerbera for 8.5 grand and I think I fell in love Lol Seems to not be too bad on insurance, still not sure if I want to spend 8.5 grand...

I was wondering what your take on sequential manual gearboxes is, personally I can't help but want a clutch to play with, for many reasons really. Yet from what I've heard they're very good these days, especially Hondas ishift, as I say though, do we really want to loose clutch control?

I'm assuming due to the nature of this site that most people on here will have fairly flash cars, either expensive to start with or modified to such, so I was wondering what you all do about security? I hardly have the flashest of cars but have had it vandalized twice in 2 weeks, more...

Hey, I'm from Lincolnshire in England and am currently driving a 99 plate 1.4 Vauxhall Tigra. It had an induction kit installed when I bought it (third hand) and I love the sound it makes and the way it accelerates, I know it's not the fastest but it's the best I've yet driven. However I want to...
