why not look into a civic coupe si 2002 model lol

10k? r33 skyline, evo6, impreza sti. much better options for 10k. what about a old skool mini or beetle? get a beetle and dump a 911 engine in the back lol

i change mine ha ha AC/DC highway to hell, Chris Rea road to hell part 2, Meatloaf bat out of hell!

i agree with claymore

we had a neighbor who bought a saxo vts off ebay but had an engine swap, turned out the engine was stolen! my dad bought a car from auto trader and it broke down half way home lol

agreed but you can usually tell the quick selling cars from the cars left there for weeks

i won't buy as i've had mates burnt by layby cars, i bought a pretty knackered capri when i was 17 for £350, i put about £500 into it and sold it for about £1500 so made a profit lol that's the only luck i've had with layby cars lol

they only bought from adverts with house numbers, and only bought cars seen on the layby

or how about some people are extremely paranoid and have no trust in people anymore?

yeah but at least with a rx or z you won't look like a hairdresser lol unless it's a 350z ha ha

@master but you won't look like a prat in a rx7 or 300zx

my dad has bought 3 cars from a layby and my great uncle has bought god knows how many and they were all good cars, all ran perfectly well, my gt uncle bought a honda accord aerodeck 20ltr estate for £275 and several other cars for similar prices! they never had a problem with any of them.

the old ferrari v12 from the 60's definately has it!!

what about a nissan s14 or s15, mazda rx7, rx8, toyota ae86 sprinter or levin, toyota supra, lexus is200, honda civic si coupe with s2000 conversion! toyota mr-s, evo (with front drive eliminated)... also depends what it will be used for lol

also depends how you drive it, a gt race car can lose up to 25hp per race, due to the excessive amount of "hard" driving.

yeah that what the episode also when they had to get that renault to lap the track the same as a evo, no matter how much you look after an engine you will get power drop no matter what.

dyno tests prove that power drop does happen. top gear proved it too, we also proved it at college

the engine cleaner is good if you need to clear blockage but not to gain power lol

at college we had a small bike dyno and we had 2 honda cbr 600's with roughly same miles one we used engine cleaner the other we near enough did a engine rebuild will all oem parts, the rebuilt bike gained almost 20% of it's power back, the "engine cleaned" bike only gained 5% of power back. if...

and try not to use chemicals in your engine, although they mean well it's putting something in the engine that shouldn't be there, most engine cleaning is just good hard work, i know more about N/A petrol engines than turbo diesel. not sure on how much i've put will effect diesels but it's worth...

don't clean the valve's replace them, and the pistons should just take some good old fashioned elbow grease, as the coke is just dust it comes off without too much effort, just be careful and try scrape the main bulk of it off... do a full service, filters, valve's, valve springs, new cams too...

as a engine gets older and more miles on the clock, you get carbon build up on the piston, valves, combustion chamber, bearings wear out and all this adds to power loss, clean ya pistons, new valve's and clean the combustion chamber. lol also check clutch for wear and tear! that's where you'll...

mini cooper vs camero during the 70's in btcc, mini had a lot less power but destroyed the yank when in the corners

that ideal if ya run out of fuel next to a chippy lol

i guess it's done by adjusting the turbo?

ah didn't know that, lol how do you get free hp?

diesels are awkward to tune though lol and with a petrol i can do all my own servicing etc

the turbo diesel does 0-60 in the same time as the 1.6 petrol lol

i like the look of the 1.6 with 90hp, same as the dturbo, the standard diesel only produces 70hp but the 1.4 petrol produces 75hp, all do 0-60 in less than 14 seconds

i like 306's but i don't like diesel cars, and i know what i'm doing with petrol engines lol

would love an old school mini but can't fit 2 kids in the back and shopping in the boot lol

gonna need a car with lower insurance group anyway lol

if i didn't laugh i'd cry lol

exactly is crazy prices for insurance! even for a 15 year old car...

bikes are only as dangerous if used properly, and dependant of car drivers looking at where they're going.

suzuki gsxr 1300 will hit over 200mph

not a gt anyway lol got a quote just before it went boom and it was for £1400 3rd party, checked again about a month later and it shot up to about £1900 including a £500 excess

primera went boom after starting lol there is a thread on it lol

to make small hatchbacks look girly! which most modern ones do these days with the exception of the focus, fiesta, astra and c2!

one single shop won't do all that, the cost of garage space rent alone would destroy what ever profit they made. you'll be looking for multiple "custom" shops
