Needs a 16v head, fuck off turbo, injectors, better fmic, exhaust and an ecu some $200 rods from the states and she'll be good for over 5-600hp ;)

volvos are highly underated 500 bhp is easy play on the t5r

[morgey]

Yeah I agree its just that the t5's are wrong wheel drive and the rest are all tanks lol

Fast fast car this one spent many days of my youth sideways full m3 engine and running gear

Cavalier Gsi with c20LET conversion made 267bhp at regal in Southampton

This one was great 1.8 single cam Sri with lots ofhead work , a piper 285 cam throttle bodies and a mental power flow hand made eggsauce

My escort, once a 1.1l model with about 12 bhp and We used it to reshell a written off s1 rs turbo, we got a whopping 167bhp out of this bastard lol, at the time that was great. Also added super low 90mm springs ...my favourite car ever

Black windows were legal back in the mid 90's lol we had two layers of limo all round

Note in the back ground I also had a Suzuki rg250 gamma that was fun .. I will have to look for more pics later

[TurboTobz]

Mate I built that car from a mess right up to immaculate, I had three at one point 2 Gsi and a 4x4 turbo but the turbo was a wreck so we did a transplant into the best Gsi, have a look see if you can find anymore detail can you? I loved that car and sold it about 10 years ago now

[MARC MOSS]

I still own this baby

Never for sale

[MARC MOSS]

And of course never forgetting the biggest love

I fucking curse myself every time I see it. I spent years building her and I fucking sold her out

[Zeldoz]

I'm in on this. But before 9am I gotta run to the shop! be right back!

[TurboTobz]

I will look mr mosss, was on modified cars for sale in uk I thought it was down my way as I've seen one with a similar plate but turns out it's in south wales area

[Zeldoz]

So my car life started out fairly boring. First car i bought was a Pug 206. Other than the wiper stalk disintigrating in my hand was an alright car for 3 months. Until, the modding bug BITE. After watching a few Fast & Furious films..

Looked like this..

Then i got befriended by some VW owners. I was still 17 but moved onto the dub group. Bought a 1.4S!! Yes, THE S! Model golf.

Owned it for 6 months i would've thought. Ended up looking like this;

Chrome wheels. That's right 2010 baby! Never lowered it, never looked after it other than cleaning. Eventually, the snow came i drove it around without anti-freeze and the rest is history. Big badda boom.

Then i invested in another golf. This time TURBOOO! (diesel).. Bought it like this;

Bog standard bar the MK5 R32 alloys. Was a good one too. It flew! Never thought i was in a Ferrari to my 1.4.

Ended up doing a whole host of shiz on it. Full R32 kit, R32 exhaust, induction kit, coilovers, re-map to 160bhp and enough torque to pull a house down. It was a real good car, I had all panels sprayed up not a mark on it. Eventually sold it for £3,500 in 2011. Which was too low. Buyer blew it up a few weeks later. What a shame .

Ended up like this

Probably the car i miss the most!

Then, i decided to go Japanese. Bought a N/A Sportif Glanza replica off a member on here.

This again, was before i learnt to care and do mechanical things. Owned it near on a year, never changed the oil, gave it a beating for a year and it never let me down! Not once! Changed it's appearance to this;

I miss this.. and the seats...</3

Sold that to Fremyj on here, He owned it for awhile until he sold it on!

I decided i wanted power, and i didn't car what the insurance would be. I was 18 coming on 19, and bought myself a EP3 Type-R..

As you can see it was battered. Lacquer peeling off the bumper, it had been keyed, dented, scratched. You name it. The bodywork was a mess. The guy had some "trouble" around his local neighborhood and the car took the brunt. Bought it for just over £2,000 with 80,000 miles and full history. It needed a re-spray. Got it sprayed..Afterwards the colour Milano Red is GORGEOUS when washed/waxed....

and owned this for 18 months. Never let me down, and the K-series engine. Amazing! Sold that in October this year looking like;

Carbon...Mmmm!

Now, onto the Glanza V! @ 21.

[Kooms]

Technically my first car as the Mrs put me on the insurance we I passed my test.

Just before import

The car now

First car I bought 1.3 Carb

Then came the Fords

RS1800 now scrapped

[Zeldoz]

Love that RS1800!

[Addymk2]

2nd car (crashed a mitsubishi colt glx a month into owning it as my 1st!) Alfa 145 Cloverleaf, 2 litre T-Spark, drove and handled beautifully.Broke down every week lol

AE111 BZ-R. (no pics of the car but I've got one of a headlight on the sofa lol)

Lil Glanza on Volks, I miss this one

My old Altezza and my old boosted one in the background, mate owns it now

Bimmer E46 Sport Coupe. Not a fan, boring and blingy. Pxd with my mate for the Altezza and a whump of cash my way.

UK Spec DC2, liked it but o so fragile and torqueless.

Satria GTI, would of been epic boosted handled uber well and felt so good. Just not as pokey as I liked

Our Civic and my old Glanza.

Current bimmer, there's a few I don't have any pics of Ae101 BZG etc etc.

Nice motors for the most part chaps
