i know its not a BMW but its my ride!

[Tricky]

hey this is my little toy for the moment going to get myself a 840 once i get a full time job after Uni but for now this is my car! i love it and im going to keep it even when i get my BMW, its my first car and has sentimental value as my mum and dad gave it to me as a thank you for spotting my little brother had menengitus and getting him to the hospital which saved his life!



this was it a month ago i have rebuilt the front, rear, and all 4 wheel arches myself! im very proud lol

this is what its going to look like about a month or 2 from now, cant deside if i want that colour or gold.

this is my best mates car, 2000 honda accord 3.0 V6 V-Tech i love it even tho it is a big orange honda! the paint flips 12 differant colours,

this is another mates volvo, its a C70 T5 its currently running 400bhp but is front wheel drive it is crazy fast and looks georgus on those 19's thats the coilovers wound up it usualy sits about 120mm lower than that,

last but not least thought i would throw this one in just incase any of you follow F1, a couple of months back some one had the great idea of closing London city center off and racing F1 cars through it. i was no more than 10 feet away from this car and he is actualy knocking it off the rev limmiter as i took this! sorry about the quality i took it on my cammera phone!

thanks Tricky

Those cars are pretty nice. I prefer the newer MR2s (not the newest), but those ones are still cool. Do you ever Auto-X that beast? I like that volvo, and the second MR2 is pretty clean. I hope yours turns out that way.

400hp out of the already HPT 5 in the C70?

[Tricky]

the volvo is 400hp it had a huge intercooler from the US fitted, 3inch turbo down pipe with 3inch exhauset all the way through with no cat, and air filter, that took it to 275bhp, then he took it to a volvo tuner in the UK who tune all the police T5's (the police use volvo T5's over here) and he fitted a lancer evo 6 tommy mac edition turbo so it runs 1.3 bar and peaks at 1.8 bar boost and had it remaped this took it to 360hp. it couldnt go any higher as the con rods will bend at anything higher than 360hp. he got a forged piston kit with forged con rods to take more power then put it in to be remaped again! this took it up to 400hp but they fitted a switchable chip so at a push of a button if he runs it on 102ron fuel it is 450hp but 102ron fuel is £5 about $7 per liter so you cant run it at 450hp as its too expencive, after all that it still wasnt enough so he had the turbo moved and a 5 branch manifold made, air filter pipes shortend, intercooler moved to the front (because as standard there behind the engine radiator and the air con cooler), and a load of head work! so it ran 420hp on normal fuel and 470ish on 102ron fuel but he had it taken back down to 400hp on the chip because the gearbox and clutch dont like much more than that for everyday use! he knows a guy in the US with a one that runs 500hp so it could go higher but its still front wheel drive! plus hes still only 20 and pays almost £4000 per year for insurance and he hasnt told them about any of his mods!
anyway i hope mine turns out like the second MR2 it looks much beter than standard! i have loads of pics of my mates cars and theres some pritty funky ones! il add some soon!

Did you actually paint that picture on your garage door?

[Tricky]

yeah it all started when i was doing my GCSE art! when i was 16 my dad asked me to paint the guarage door while he was away! so i did! i painted a honda CRX del sol on it off the cover of play station magazing! i enterd it as a piece of course work and passed! woo hoo! left it on to wind my dad up for a few months and then couldnt be botherd to paint it out! after bout 2years it was a huge local land mark! (i live on the main road out of Newcastle so everyone has to pass it) i started painting it out and as i did a lil kid and his grandad walked past and the kid started crying! the guy said aw you cant paint that off the kids all love it! so i painted it out and put an evo 5 on it! kept that on for a year or 2 and enterd it as my A-level art! passed that too! and then got my MR2 had it for a while and was practacing doing the wicked art pictures! got canny good at doing the MR2 so i painted it on! i think it looks cool! and everyone loves it coz each pic has been a bit better as iv learned how to paint! lol
