evansy Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) First car, just passed my test Renault Clio 1.2 8V Fox 15" Wheels No they aren't scratches on the side, it is reflections of something or other [clarkson]You bought the wrong car, you should have got the 16v[/clarkson] Oh and trust me you will get scratches. My Clio is 2 years old and has more dents and scratches than my 13 year old Corsa ever did. Which Clio is it you have? as theres no pic there. I also hate everyone here who has a project car. Its making me want to buy something to do up even more but only having a small driveway to park it on means I'd need more alarms than the Bank of England to keep it from being damaged/stolen.

screamin_weasel Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 my biggest fear is my car being nicked. and being so old, and convertible, i'd imagine its pretty easy to do so. frost on ths inside of the car i can deal with. water dripping in i can deal with. only being able to do 70 at a push i can deal with. somebody slashing my roof and hotwiring my car in about 5 seconds flat would ###### me off however.

Thats not just a problem with convertables. The two cars I'd like to get as projects are an early '93 corsa gsi and a mini cooper and you can get into both of those cars in a matter of secconds by peeling the door down and unlocking them from the inside.

TwinTurboCH Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) WOW twinturbo. That thing is gorgeous. There's a twin turboed rx7 with an fmic at the shop I work at. I can't keep my eyes off of it! Cheers dude, I do want an RX at some point, but at the moment I'm addicted to the sweet sound of 6 omg twinturboch thats an awesome car. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3! Heres something not many of u might have seen. Its somewhat obscure outside of Asia Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo R: Evo 7 4G63T engine detuned to generate 240bhp @ 5500rpm, 343Nm (253ft/lb) @ 2500rpm 0-60 6.5s(claimed) 7.6s(what I managed to get it to do) only slight dislike was that it had an autobox, but its meant to be softer than the EVO 7 (pics to come in a bit) Thanks Yours looks cool, i love rare obscure Jap stuff Shame about the slush-box though LOL Very nice Love 330's, for what they are they feckin fly And here's my new acquisition and yes she's another turbo manual, and she's brutal. Getting the diff welded next week and she'll be drifting within a week Edited July 24, 2008 by TwinTurboCH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacemonkey Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Screamin' Weasel, that's a lovely Spitty. I had a dark BRG Mk4 1300 with twin carbs off the 1500 jetted to suit the K&Ns and straight thru stainless pipes. Just about did a ton on a good day, but felt oh so quick... Toured northern France in it the day after changing the gearbox. Essential mod is to heatwrap the manifold and down pipe to prevent carbs boiling.. T'was great til my alchy neighbour parked her Volvo in it... Current cars: In the Pyrennees on the way to Africa: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacemonkey Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 The Paj gets used for what it was designed for... My mate had no idea what I was about to do .. This is a river in London not too far from Heathrow. It's about as deep as you can go in the Paj without a snorkel. All training proved it worth in last year's floods.. Note the drowned and abandoned cars everywhere. The water was alot deeper in places than it looked- the worst bits weren't filmed. Still took 6 hours to do a 2 hour return journey... Old Volvo from back in the day. Count them doors... Company car... (does this count..?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
triggerhappy16 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Always nice to see 4x4s in their natural habitat. Shame it isn't law they have to be used off road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacemonkey Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Agreed.. the Monster and MX5 are the daily drivers- the rest are toys.. Saying that, the Paj drove to Hungary and back via Italy and Switzerland last year, and the MX5 drove to Africa a couple of weeks after I bought it..

Titleist Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Early birthday present to myself, bought my BMW back from someone I sold it to 2 months ago. Sold my project BMW 1970 R50/5 in early May to purchase my Ducati Monster 695, to a friend. I guess he just didn't know how to maintain it (it's tricky) and in frustration he sold it back to me for a 3rd of what I sold it to him for (nice!). Of course I get on it and it runs like a champ. So now I've got two bikes, when I only needed one. Anyways, took some pics on the way home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GuzziHero Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Titleist...that bike owns you, and it won't let you go! Nice to see an old Hoover still doing the job Pics of my inherited Meega. Horrid MPG, but laughs at long distance drives: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Looks great. The background is also quite spectacular. Thanks, local park. It's one of those big cement bottom "lakes" for model boat racing and such, if you know what I mean. And guzzi, yep, she won't let me leave her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
