Ok, first impressions . . Very nice :) not built quite as well as the beemer but overall not bad.
The engine (136bhp Diesel) is very responsive and the handling is very impressive. Interior is nice and solid, seats are very comfortable.
Anyway, the photos . . .
It looks very aggressive here !! :amazed:
not bad from side . . .
not sure from the back . .
but I like the interior !!

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
This is my old car, a ford Sportka 1.6. Coilovers, 300mm brake conversion, lightweight alloys, a few engine mods, stripped out interior.

I keep mentioning Bod, my old Smart. So I thought I'd put some pic's up of it, sadly I've lost the folder with the photo's, I think I left it on my old lap top. :(
So I've had to search for some on the net & here they are.
The Specs:
Newly built engine raised from 600cc to 700cc
Custom Re-map by RedDot racing.
Brabus Cam & Clutch
Larger Roadster turbo (still a wee little turbo :lol:)
Janspeed polished ally intercooler pipes
Brabus TIK pipe

Rear panels...
Hello, I'm Stuart from norf essex and these are my my rides.
The minor is in the process of being cut up ready to have the bulkhead and rear floor from the porsche welded in.
The Porsche is sitting waiting to be stripped and cut up to donate organs forthe hybrid Minor.
The Yank is a 1970 Plymouth Sport Satellite 318Cu-in (5211cc) V8 with Edelbrock performer intake manifold and Holley 600cfm secondary vac carburettor. It is also awaiting the fitment of a competition camshaft and 4-branch exhaust manifolds. And yes I know the General Lee was a Dodge charger and I have stickered up the wrong car.
The Rover 2200sc is completley standard and original and is staying that way. :wink:
Bought this recently to replace the Vectra Elite estate as badly missed my series 2 TD5 Discovery. Needed an auto as my clutch leg was suffering in traffic due to cellulitus issues in both legs over the years.
So got a very happy place to be on the daily commute. No more leg cramps, bad back is now cosseted by the leather armchairs!
So it's a Discovery 3 HSE auto with just about every extra going as was owned by a Land Rover Jaguar Director, has heaps of history and bills to prove.
Perfect for my three Dalmatians and the 25' caravan.
Need to buy a ramp for the dogs as it's a bit high for the lazy buggers! :D
Well when I say new I mean new to me. Just picked it up this weekend
Mercedes 300 CE - 24 Coupe Limited Edition
Nice little ride, needs some work doing to it but it seemed cheap enough at £2700.
Guy said it might be a Carat Duchelet but not sure about proving that but never mind.
It will keep me going till I get the Capri finished.
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 fellow Caddy owners,
We have just picked up our new caddy that will be used out on the road for mobile remapping and as a general works van. (Might even use it weekends it's that nice)
15,000 Miles on the clock and is like new inside and out, and she is DSG :blink1:

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:

Hi guys n' gals hope all are well. Well this time is no exception for me going nuts on a car lol. So first of all, lets recap for those that have forgotten or haven't seen my cars since being a member on here.
First was the Calibra 2.5 that had a 3.0 engine then went back to a 2.5 again:-

Then was the Vectra SRi that had a Turbo lump dropped in:-

O'right all. Had a little meet on the 11th of November with a load of mates, who mostly own Jap cars for a fast run of Snake's Pass and a hearty pub meal. Good enough range of car to hopefully give the recently quiet forum some discussion points!!!
Pics collated from different sources so don't hate. I will say the low sun and lighting made it very difficult to take pictures :beer::beer:
1988 Renault 9
Here are some pictures of my Renault 9! Now i'm only 17 so it's older than me! In good nick though =]
What do you think? =]
The only thing I might change are the reg plates. They look a bit old, but my dad says the fact that they have the original dealer's name on each one means something like it shows there's been no major front or rear end damage? I don't know. Either way, I may change them. Oh and also the old stickers in the back window! A job that I keep forgetting about!
Yep, there it is =]
I took these a little while ago after giving it a quick clean.
Since the photos I have changed the kidney grills at the front for some polished ones. My only real plans are to get some 17s for it, sort out some scratches and freshen it up a little bit. I don't want to do too much until I know what's going on with my insurance claim (on the Civic).
did anyone go down to sittingbourne today?
there was a classic car and classic bike show on at the greyhound track.
some really nice trikes too, there was a honda fireblade trike and a few hotrods,
didnt manage that many pics as i couldnt find my camara but borrowed my dads camara phone for a few.
well it started like this
basic car.. 15" std alloys,cloth interior, no rear speakers been sat in a stable for a year undriven and cost me £450 , 2 WEEKS LATER the head gasket went, typical but no real bother £300 to sort that out with a metal one,
now the car looks like this from the rear. change to rear lights (custom surrounds and fiat coupe lights) quad longlife SS Exhaust, stainless roll hoops
interior totally changed
Now has red leather seats/door cards/steering wheel/and gear knob, red painted window trim to match, resprayed speedo surround and mk2 centre console, as sprayed graphite grey, blue lockhead dspeedo dials, The airbag blank has been turned into a storage cubby hole made Taken from a MGZR, and I replaced...
First of all I'd just like to say what an epic time I had and trackdaydrivers.com were a brilliant bunch, everything was well organized and yet so relaxed at the same time. Everyone was so friendly and willing to chat. Great little technical course and the Focus was spot on, got a few good comments which is always nice.
Also met a lad with a redtop Mk1 Corsa who asked for a ride in my car so ended up with a couple of on-board I-phone vids (also passengered in his).
The first slew of videos are starting to pop up now, and some photos of which the professional ones should be up at some points this week. Have a look:

Hello mates, its been long since I last came here, I had an accident, a stove exploded on me and I got projected trough a second floor window, luckily my cordy was parked at the door and I landed on it then hitting the road, I came out of it with quite a colection of broken bones and burns..
So anyway, this is my Seat Cordoba some of you know it already, its an 1.9 SDI engine with low horse power. After te accident the insurance covered it and I put it back to what it was and did a couple of exterior mods, the engine is stock right now.
The thing is that this car was a gift from my grandfather who passed away on last Christmas eve, it means a lot for me even tough is not a fast car, its a car Ill never sale or trade or get rid in any...

Hi all, in my time away from this fantastic forum I went to TRAX 2008. It was a great day out and a real experience. There was a good show of car clubs from across the UK, and the largest collection of Fords and Vauxhalls I have ever seen! There was also action on the track and a chance to do a run. In the show area there was a selection of ICE-out rides, dancing girls (sorry...no pics) and various stuff to buy. EA (Electronic Arts) were also showing previews of some the new games due out soon! There was also the great finally of hundred's of modified cars leaving at once.

When I just got her:
After playing around with white GT stripes first, I settled for these custom Matt Silver ones:
Fitted a MotorCade CAI kit:
Then some engine bay bling:
And I Colour coded the inside of the headlights Matt Black:
Then tinted the rear lights.
You will see I dropped the suspension with a H&R 35mm drop, and fitted Racing Heart concepts Racer Series rims.

Any tips on what I can improve?
Hi All
well i am now able to post some images.
i have been into improving cars a while and started with a little fiesta was standard when i got it and this is it when i got rid.
after this i moved onto a ford escort cabby 1.6, i done the same again with it, changed the wheels, lower, de-cat, droped a better z-tec engine in and it looked like this.
then when this one had to go i was thinking about whats next? so i got a rs2000, long list already done to it, was running 180bhp and the car drove like a dream
now i have my son and a home etc to worry about so i now have this motor :)
Hey guys, thought I would post up some pics of the Mondeo. Just washed it and gave it its first polish in a while. Think it came up ok.
Things to do:

Refurb wheels
And then possibly a remap
Who said standard radios were rubbish? well i did actually but i stand corrected...
