    This is the pesky gearbox spacer!

    Stealthy V6

    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...

    Stealthy V6

    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...

    Brands Hatch in a Polo

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

    205 t16

    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.

    Edition 38

    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...

    221 bhp b18c6 itb'd mini

    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.

    Edition 38

    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...

    OrigineRS event pics - so many v6 clios etc!

    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?

    610bhp+ Frozen White Ford Focus RS Show Preparation Detail

    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!

    Silverstone Classic Festival

    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.

    I keep wanting a v6

    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...

    Oulton Park - Mini Fest

    Gutted I couldn't get up there this weekend. Couldn't careless about the Bini's to be honest. The Miglia championship are where the real men race! Lol The racing with the the pre 66 cars is pretty special too. More pics of the classics are needed.

    Any chance of a date change to avoid a clash with OrigineRS?

    Either way, I'll make sure I take a whopping great crap about 5-5.30ish in the morning so you guys can inhale the left overs of my Friday nights takeaway about on time! Lmao If I get back to Numpton in time or organised ok on the Saturday, I might swing past in the 172.

    Any chance of a date change to avoid a clash with OrigineRS?

    3 of my mates lived on "the Akky" Chip and it never smelt of roses! Lol Its not too bad I suppose.

    Any chance of a date change to avoid a clash with OrigineRS?

    Pretty gutted CSS clashed with ORS. Billing is a on the other side of town to me so very bloody local for once! However, I'm pretty heavily committed to Goodwood as I'm trying to attend with my vee and its newly fitted Audi twin turbo motor. Warning to those camping. Take something to shuv up...

    Few cars from Central London last weekend.

    The owners of the Bugatti, Aston and Alfa have just as much taste as money. The others have more money than taste. Some classy motors right there! The cobra rep looks tacky to me although I bet its a blast to drive.

    Ford Fiesta Ecoboost Zetec S

    Would love them to make a small fiesta sized van with this engine. Would suit me perfectly for jobbing around doing normal day to day plumbing. As great as this engine is, Daihatsu has been doing this for decades. The charade Gtii must be over 25 years old now and was making 100hp from 999cc...

    #Under 8

    So you have answered your own question really. Your paying for a different wheel and tyre package, a rear strut brace, a luggage net, a few months extra R&D on and off track, half a day or more final fettling at Dieppe at say €150/hr x 2 and the exclusivitly of the car. Just a query. Are the...

    #Under 8

    What your missing is the fact that even though there are subtle differences, as a limited production run car, it still has to be tested and developed to work correctly straight out the box. Take into account these cars are took off what is a quite small production line in Dieppe and individually...

    #Under 8

    I find it hard to believe they never sold all the Uk R26r's. Myself and a few others witnessed the very last R26r being assembled in Dieppe a few years back. With out really taking much notice at the time, there was a middle aged chap following our group around with his young boy. When the Reno...

    VERY BIG BALLS

    Yes cant argue the fact fatal crashes are apart of the TT or other forms of road racing. They with out doubt go hand in hand and make those riders what they are. Also wouldnt deny the fact that seeing the crashes isn't an eye opener. But seeing a poor bloke planking at 130mph, face down into a...

    VERY BIG BALLS

    Why would someone post that vid on the internet? When you hear of a riders getting killed on the TT or anywhere actually, you only need to imagine how awfull their injuries would be. No need for vids imo unless to show what they survived. Have been watching this all week on itv4 and theres...

    Uno Turbo or Renault 5 GT Turbo?

    Ok granted they aren't common but they aren't particularly rare. If I wanted one and had the money, I could with in a day or two own a nice one. That's not the case with the Uno. I do agree though that it should be purely down to which one you prefere not what others think.

    Uno Turbo or Renault 5 GT Turbo?

    I'd definatly go for the Uno. If the car was restored10 years back and is still in good condition its a sign it was done correctly and very well. You say the 5 has been resprayed recently but how much work was done and will it last. if it was a wuick blow over to sell on then expect problems in...
