Self confessed car geek here :geek:

#1. My Nissan 200sx S14a - too many mods to list here all my own work , 344bhp :love: (apologies for rubbish picture). Brought it myself as 30th birthday present

Also have a Mk.1 Golf GTi long term project (6 years and counting) and I use a Mondeo TDDi as a daily hack/camera transportation device :thumbs:
 
Here's me test driving a new TD5 land rover. In the background is my pride and joy 110.



 
Its been done before ... but any excuse:

Davrian mk7a, modsports. For those that don't know it's a kit car based on a Hillman Imp. I'm not using it in competition at the moment due to time pressures but here's a brief summary of the current spec.

Engine - 1040cc Imp engine with Carter super clubman head, 410 cam and 4xMikuni flat slide carbs. Should make something like 125bhp in that spec, rev limit 9500 or so.

Transaxle JK 5-speed dog box with LSD. Custom driveshafts. Davrian fabricated wishbones and trailing arms. Revolution split rims (8x13 and 10x13) with 7"x20" slicks at the front an 9"x20" slicks at the rear.

0-60 should be under 5 seconds now, it was just over 5 with the 998 on Webers and an R23. Remember it is still a Hillman Imp with an 8 valve engine designed 60 odd years ago, not anything modern.
 
Ok sorry donot do cars, cost too much, but these two beauties are much more fun and well one hell of alot quicker (just my opinion lol) but the title did just motors and well they both have a very potent motor in each, The ZX12R is the unrestricted version so NOT limited to 186mph:D and the GSXR1000 is well quicker because its more agile.

This was mine until a couple of months ago, when I wrote it off. :(

On the look out for a new car as I type.

Nice car but I keep thinking everytime I see a Lambo that the styling has been pinched from the Lotus Esprit S2 and the 70s icon The LP500 (yep the Countach) but it does work well and looks good:thumbs:
 
some nice motors and bikes

my vectra sri 140

undecided what too do next to its either a 3 litre omega engine and a set of lambo rep wheels or sell it and go back to a bmw but a 5 series e39 either a 540i v8 or a diesel with a remap

Taken last weekend. Still needs some sorting on the rear suspension, brake pipes are to short.


Like the 110 and the TD5 Mike..
 
OK my baby........its old (15 yrs young) will get to 150mph with roof up and drives like a bag o *****e over 90 but its a gorgeous bit of kit and mint for a 15yr old car and the accelaration just blows modern cars away up to 90ish where it runs out of puff but it will give any modern sports car a run for its money.............best money I ever spent......FUN

Our lad is looking at this thread and has asked if I can post a pic of him in his latest drive.........he doesnt own the vehicle but he takes turns driving it or sitting out of the roof with his toys

Isn't that the puppy that does 0-60 in like 2 seconds or something? They were trying to "ban" it because some guy passed out when riding it or something a number of years ago? :cuckoo:
 
Here's mine,

4338283057_ff65ff73fd.jpg


its an ex Gendarmerie car and as such has the bigger engine with the biggest carb but only has drum brakes!

Its tatty and everyone wonders why I don't restore it, but I like it being tatty, if I wanted one in perfect nick I'd buy one, but then it wouldn't get used!

Dangermouse,

Your Saab is clearly broken. :lol:

Roof is up but it's not raining.

In my lust for a convertible (cannot persuade SWMBO) I get very big temper tantrum at everyoine I see in a convertible with the roof up and the sun out........

"But it's hot and we needed the aircon" is NOT an acceptable excuse!

This is a pic after a couple of modifications

It looks pretty much as standard in that pic.

It's a Yamaha Vmax and for a long, long time was the fastest accelerating production road vehicle on the planet. In standard form it could do 0-62 in 2.9 secs. When i had finshed modifying it, it was quite a bit faster:thumbs: and handled quite well too. Although it was a money pit..... I spent so much doing it up, it became quite an obsession:cuckoo:

Completely changed the forks, wheels, suspension, brakes, bodywork, uprated the swing arm, stage 7, better exhaust, (That sounded soooo nice with the V4 engine) Clutch etc etc it just went on and on. Would never do it again but God i love that bike:love:

I'm not sure what a SWMBO is but should I have one in future they'll have to accept that I wont sell it in favour of something with four seats or a steel roof :lol:.
