proper old school then :)

I'd agree about spoilers being more about style than serious airflow or downforce but hey they do look good a lot of the time.It's almost no aerodynamic advantage to the rubber boot spoiler on a Fiesta XR2s tailgate or a Capris but then try to imagine a mk2 RS2000 with no boot spoiler,would not...

don't you get the full cycle of old cold power rinse,hot soap brush,soap cycle,full on cold rinse and then a half power wax cycle that starts off like a thin soapy look but runs away in seconds and does actually give it a coat of wax for a week or two lol

Aw,tools in my garage ??? Damn,what I'd give for a proper garage even if it was only big enough to keep tools in.Have a bare earth shell with no doors that I can maybe get as far as my door mirrors in but no more and it leaves no room to work around the car.Having no door leaves it open to damp...

Now I wish that was the same up here,if the jet wash at Tescos or the BP was switched on I'd have goe for a wash n wax too lol

Since I first posted about my Toyota a few days ago I know it's been the talk of the forum.Obviously anyone with a mk1 Avensis will understandably be the focus of much envious attention.I'm used to it when I see the drivers of Porsches and M5s stare with such longing at my car,sometimes I truly...

.......who's going out into the cold to spend a little quality time with their cars then......Go on,admit it there will be many sad excuses out there tinkering away despite it being baby jesus's birthday.....or something like that. I absolutely include myself in that group.I got up and first...

Yes my understanding has always been a permanant airbag warning light is a fail on the m.o.t but I know a fair few who have passed with it like that.I think a lot of places may if the car is otherwise in good,solid condition write it up as an advisory rather than fail you on it but if the car...

That would be some engine and I'd love to see a redtop with a full management system,a brace of SAAB injectors and a set of twin 48 webers.I assume you intended the body of the DCOEs to be modified to make them into throttle bodies rather than an intent to run fue injection AND carbs together...

Yeah, a valuable lesson but very hard one to take at the time that's for sure lol

.... from a Granada 2.8. Rather than going the straight forward twin choke weber DGAV from a 2.0 pinto route I reckoned the geniune twin carb from the Granada would be a better bet although a lot harder to get right but with the right combination of air correction jets, emulsion tubes, secondary...

I've got a nice little DIY modding horror story that makes me cringe and fills my soul with regret to this very day. I'll quickly set the scene for you.First of all, I've been a life long Ford man that has developed a love for Vauxhall through my mid 20s. And despite my occasional flirting...

Hello folks, my name is Bob.I live up in the wilds of Scotland, drive an HGV for a living and have been modifying cars since 1990 and my first car, a signal yellow mk1 Fiesta 1.1L which quickly gained a warmed up 1300 with a 950 gearbox, XR2 suspension and brakes all round and made up to look...

The old chant goes 'mirror, signal, manoeuvre' but simply seeing an indicator flashing is neither guarantee they've checked the mirrors or are fully aware of what's around them. I drive a 26 tonner and sometimes a 7.5 full time and it gives you a different perspective on driving and other...
