I may just blown my load... 560bhp of Mustang goodness. :o I want one!! :D

Hi all, Just a quick one. My best mate has a Ford Fiesta (2004) and wants to connect his iPhone to it to play music. He's pretty sure there is nothing standard to plug it into. What options does he have?

Is it me or does this really annoy everyone atm? Accross the BMW forums people seem to be ditching wide tyres and handling in favour of eBay coilovers, budget tyres and just slamming the car as much as possible so they can't actually drive it. They think it looks awesome but I think I don't get...

Hi all, As per title. What is the best method for cleaning suede/alcantara without ruining it? Has anybody used anything in particular? Thanks.

Just a heads up for anyone currently running a de-cat or thinking of getting one... As some of you may know, the rule is currently that a de-cat can be used assuming the car still passes the emissions. However, from April 2012 the cat (or a sports cat) must be present for the MOT if the car...

After much thought I have decided to sell my gorgeous Style 5s. The reason being is I need something that offers more clearance for a BBK. They are 17 inch rims. The spec is:- - Front 8J, ET20, RC090 (requires spigot rings to fit an E36) Tyres: Falken 452s 215/40/17 - Rear 8J...

I saw this yesterday but forgot to post it. Luckily saw it again today and remembered. See here.

You have to read this, and view the video for yourself... Absolute stupidity.

An advanced warning this week as it is the Saab tribute our very own T9 was invited to. I for one am hoping to see his beast given some Stig abuse! Sunday 26th February 2012, 8pm, BBC2.

I have just seen this and have got to say (even though I'm not really a Pug fan) that the spec looks great and so does the car! 200bhp in a tiny little car. It's about time Peugeot made something worth while. New Peugeot 208 GTi For anybody that just wants to see how pretty it is...

8pm BBC2.

As I don't think it will get noticed by many where it is. Have a look at this thread here: TorqueCars T-Shirts/Polo Shirts. Represent! :D

For anybody interested. New series starts tonight. BBC2, 8pm. Tonights episode is a road trip involving the new Lamborghini Aventador, a Noble M600 and a Mclaren MP4-12C.

For those that haven't heard, BMW are planning to release 'M' versions with diesel engines. (HDI's ideal car!) Diesel M5. The figures and ideas actually look very promising and could change performance cars. I'd be very interested to see how it performs versus the petrol version. Any...

What helmets does everybody use? Where did you get them from? I'll be wanting my own for when I start doing track days (hopefully this year).

Gone In 60 Seconds Mustang. Maybe if we all put our pennies together?

As per title. I prefer coupes because not only do they generally look best imo, but you get the leg room and boot space that the saloon offer. Any other thoughts?

Just a heads up as this one looks like it's going to be good... Top Gear

Yes it's winter soon, but a good road trip takes a lot of planning. So what would be your ideal road trip? Blasting around the Welsh valleys or the Swiss mountains? Visiting tracks around the country? Let's have some ideas!

In this guide I will simply explain how to upload pictures onto this forum. Step 1 Sign up to an image hosting website. I use Photobucket. It is completely free. Step 2 Once you have created an account. You may wish to create an album if (like me) you like to keep things organised...

I thought it would be a good idea for everyone to post what suspension setup they are running, how it has affected the car (both good and bad) and what changes they plan to make. Please apply the following template... Car: Setup: Advantages: Disadvantages: Planned Changes:

Yes I know the Summer isn't quite over yet but Winter tyres are cheaper now before the mad rush for them so what winter tyres have you tried and would recommend or avoid?

Somebody posted this on another forum and I had to share it here. BMW E36 with VTEC. It's definitely not for the purists amongst us, but this must have taken some work! Any thoughts?

Long story short I'm planning to supercharge my engine sometime early next year. I would like some kind of cooling for it. What are the benefits of meth injection vs intercoolers as I think I'd be more likely to go meth as the setup should be easier. Thanks!

What a complete and utter *****... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2011578/YouTube-video-shows-boy-racers-60mph-police-chase--reverse.html

Hi all, I've had to explain what this is a few times recently so thought this post may be helpful. What is an X-Brace? The X-Brace acts as a front lower strut brace. How does that improve handling? It improves the rigidity of the front end. At high speeds the car feels more stable...

Have a read of this article about possible changes to young people's driving licences. What do you think?

Hi all, I bought this car quite a while ago. Originally I got the car as my Civic was involved in an accident and I needed something to get me from A to B, but wanted something that would hold it's value. I travelled to Peterborough one very snowy evening to check the car and it was fine...

Does anyone on here machine polish their cars? What equipment can you recommend? What sort of finish does it give versus hand polishing?

Hi guys, First of all, it wasn't me! So don't worry! My brother was caught doing 60mph on a stretch of the M1 with 50mph average (temporary) speed cameras last Saturday and both he and I would like to know whether or not he has a leg to stand on and what rights he has. He has already...

Hi all, I've just ordered a new set of rims for my BMW and I need some tyres for them. I've been looking around and I've narrowed my choice down to the following: - Falken FK-452 They are £68.44 each and a mid-range tyre. - Toyo Proxes T1-R Another mid-range choice but £90.61 each...

Hi everyone, I am advertising my Honda Civic. I have owned the car since 11th December 2007 and was the third owner. I have shown this car a lot of love over the last 3 years. My plans were to make a EK9 Coupe, however I have now got another car. I have a folder with many receipts for various...

http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010/11/12/news-gt-gt-publisher-suspends-max-power-magazine.aspx I personally don't like it in it's current form and think it's a waste of money. Any other opinions on the magazine?

Hi everyone in TorqueCars world! I need some opinions and advice. To cut a long story short, by manifold needs replacing (only 3 pipes out of the 4 are working). I could have it welded up, but I was planning on getting a cat back exhaust, so I figure I might as well get a stainless steel...

BMW Show 2010 at Santa Pod. Enjoy!

Hello guys and girls, For anybody interested, here are the details of the up and coming BMW Show at Santa Pod on the 19th September 2010. http://www.bmwshow.co.uk/ See you there!

As some of you will know, back in February I was involved in an accident. Some kind person decided I didn't need glass in one of my doors and thought a nice big dent across my door, wing and bonnet would look good. I can now sell the car after a damage valuation was agreed (£1700) so I've...

Let's face it, most of our roads are riddled with pot holes, covered with speed bumps and ruined with speed cameras. But surely there are some good roads left in Britain. Let's try and find them! I am personally going to list the A4500 in Northamptonshire as it is long and twisty which means...

Hi all, I need some advice. As some of you may know I work at Asda and have decided I need a change of job, something that pays more. So I applied for a sales executive job at The Car Shop in Northampton. The basic wage is low (£10,000 p/a), but after OTEs and commission the wages can rise up...
