This is the pesky gearbox spacer!

Got a few parts this week to move the car in the right direction. First part was a gearbox spacer. Even though the VW Passat bell housing pattern matches the Audi S4's engine block, it never quite went all the way home last week. After a bit of research it turns out that Audi make a few spacers...

Due to other commitments this was put on the back burner but not forgotten. The twin turbo Audi v6 fits very well now and with a few tweaks here and there will be very nearly perfect. The vast majority of wiring and pipework in the pics will be gone and ditched for a more simple engine loom and...

Slight update.....

Why should they barrier and fence everything off like prisons. Just to stop oxygen theives acting like muppets? Shame..

I'll take a SWB UR Quattro over the T16, lancia and reno everyday of the week. Has to be the greatest automotive noise next to a 787B.

You see this is where people who don't actually look closely or attend these shows seem to generalise everyone and say "it's pointless" or "it's broke". Yes, there are plonkers out there who throw their cars together with zero bump travel and -89.5* negative camber. The best cars however work...

With all the extra room in that new exhaust tunnel I'd be fitting a 4wd Shuttle gearbox! Lol Joking aside, it looks a great car.

That's my brothers car next to the white golf. I've been going with him for years but I couldn't be assed this year as its all about how much money you can throw at cars these days and how ott you can be which it never used to be about. One thing is for sure though, whether you like the whole...

Martins T2 Maxi is possibly the most amazing privately owned reno's out there. Truly epic car. Any pics of the near £1,000,000 A220 which was also stunning and is arguably the most amazing privately owned Alpines out there.

I see that Jag at Silverstone Classic. Has the body been dropped on to a XJR or S type chassis?

I was a huge fan of this car! Right up until the point I see under bonnet mirrors and an interior that wouldnt look out of place in a pimped up Chelsea tractor. Traggic!! Would love to see this custom, 1 off cylinder head too and who made it.

I see one of those at Silverstone Classic this week. Was the first time Ive ever seen one in the flesh and it also looked stunning!

Pretty expensive if you dont get the tickets early but I'm happy to pay the premium as an alternative to paying half as much to attend a shitty chavy show such as fcs or the like and getting 1/10th as much for your money. Each to their own.

Comparing them to 1*2's is pretty damn stupid. They are completly different concepts. I was driving into the center of London monday night in my 172 thinking just how much I wanted to be in my ph1. As stated in previous posts, you don't need to do any more than 30mph to enjoy them. However...
