Being the ever helpful community member that I am, I am offering to help people Photoshop images of their car with possible mods that they might intend on doing in the future. Obviously I can only do this when I have free time but feel free to post requests here or PM me. Heres an example...

I would just like to make you all jealous - I'm currently in New Zealand, where car insurance is optional.. I bought a 2.2L Honda Prelude - at 21 with zero no claims in the country, it cost me £112 to insure, compared to the £860 I was paying for my battered old Citroen Berlingo van at home. CRAZY!

Well this is mainly directed at Wayne, the insurance guru - but someone else may have been in a similar situation.. The 106 Rallye I went to see the other day didn't QUITE do it for me.. So I'm on the hunt for a vehicle still.. The trouble is my insurance is due for renewal this week...

Hiya guys, just looking for a bit of general advice.. Getting a bit tired of my car.. I would like someting a bit more hardcore for the summer. I thought about a 16v conversion in my car, but seems like more hassle than it worth when there are so many 16v's floating round. I've seen a...

So I owed Nick a favour, and he decided to text me and call in that favour on Monday night, while I was out on a mash-up. Cheers Nick :wink: Only kidding, I was excited about what would be my first real attempt at paint correction on a whole car. (I didn't tell Nick this :twisted: , but after...

Leaving for a weekend of partying in Bournemouth, went to get something out of my car and noticed this nice bit of damage.. Not sure when it happened, don't think it was when it was parked up as this is on the 'curb side' and this looks like mechanical damage, must have happened while I was...

So who went to Trax this year then? It was my first year and my car wasn't up to how I wanted it, and wasn't clean either. I decided not to put my car on the SSC stand (whihc pissed a couple of people off!) but it meant I didn't have to leave home at silly o'clock in the morning to get there in...

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...

Don't know why I want one, but all of a sudden, I do! Chavtastic or luvvy-jubly?

I was wondering how seriously you all take cleaning your car, and what products and methods you all use! I was contemplating buying an electric polisher as I put quite a few swirl marks into the paint on my roof polishing by hand yesterday!.. Some people say that they can even increase the...

You pull up to the lights next to some half-arsed, stainless exhaused 1.3 Escort.. He thinks he's the dogs danglies.. You think you're better! I'll have a peice of this you think... WRONG!! What an awesome sleeper.. But a little too far? The fact that it's the only...

I understand that putting strain on a cold engine can be really reduce the life-sapn of your lump, or is this an old-wifes tail? Do modern synthetic oils reduce the chance of damage occuring in cold engines? The problem I face is.. I don't have an oil temp gauge on my car, as it was only...

In the garage waiting room today, I was reading the monthly Kumho newsletter and they have launched a new limited edition range of special drifting tyres which give off red smoke! :shock: I thought some of you might be interested in this!

My Saxo can have problems 'hunting' (I think this is the term) when the engine is warm and the automatic choke is bypassed, the car will not always idle correctly and sometimes cut's out. My car is going on the diagnostics machine this Friday, but I think one of the main causes of this is the...

I'm really interested in these cars. For those of you who don't know they are the most modern version of what essentially is a Starlet 1.3 Turbo. Just wondering if anyone on the forum has one, or owned one in the past. Apparently they are very quick, and most insurance companies class them...
