11k rpm!!!! i took a different approach to making my old car quick,

take a 3.2l vr6 engine 

add low comp pistons

add a supercharger with 1 bar of boost

done lol 

made 475 hp and 395 lb ft with 4wd which was pretty nippy even in a 1500 kg car and the noise was also biblical (as were the flames on occasion)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mate thats a CHOMPA ! Haha was giggling like a kid watchin this. Prrrrrt prrrrrrt prrttttttt BOOOM ! Be funny to see people stop drop an roll as it went past !

It'll goto 12.5k rev limit is lowered to save it, got about 18k miles on that engine so it's going well. 4-6mpg on track 12-14mpg on a cruise...

 

Vr6 lump loves a bit of forced induction. I just love the noise of naturally aspirated. Although is costly to get most of em... Built them when I Single and young and, now have a family and responsibilities haha...

 

Does sound good that Vr6 mate. 4wd is bit boring compared to rwd with a LSD though haha. 

 

Escort is just as quick, I don't like advertising just how fast as I race for money regularly at various cruises etc. Beat a Ferrari 612, bloke was nearly in tears haha but coughed up 500 we raced for!

i had no idea you make a screamer from a yb engine :) 

4wd is kinda sorta boring but my god it spits you out of corners at warp factor 9 lol 

i also had a mk3 vr6 that a strapped a charger to it when it hit 100k miles without doing anything at all to the engine, didnt even have an intercooler lol they really are bombproof motors

My 19 year old Mazda 323f blew up the other week, so I took the opportunity to buy one of my favourite cars.

Nothing special to other people, but I've always loved the MK 4 VW Boras. So I found this one.

VW Bora S

1.6 16v

2002, 103k on clock with full service history and recent cambelt and water pump done.

Was already a few little mods done to it when I bought it. Looks good and runs perfectly, i couldn't find a fault with it so i had my local garage look over it and they said it was fine...

done most the work to it myself with help from my dad, 

 

picked my dad up from hospital back in February as a surprise to cheers him up. Hadnt been used in 2-3 before than. Pulled a few all nighters in between work a visiting him and fixed it, mot'd Thursday and pick him up Friday. 

 

Will never sell, my dad hasn't got long left now and it will be a nice memory.

gave the panda a proper detail the other day, really happy with how it turned out :D:D

 

love the metallic shimmer in the light too. This and the Fiesta XR2 must be the only cars that black plastic improves the looks of 

 

One day it will have a Twin Rotor, Twin Turbo conversion but the other half says we need to buy a house 1st :(

Make sure the house has a big garage in which to house all the front tyres you're going to melt :insane:

Well I am a Ford man had 2 Focus before.

 

So I just traded in my faith friend of 6 years my Mondeo Zetec S TDCI - This was only purchased as a short term car when my Focus DMF failed and got a trade in price I could not refuse. But it was so nice I ended up keeping it.

Taken 6 months to find and had to drive 250 miles to collect, but worth it.

Nissan Micra 2.0 twin cam 16vlarge.image.jpeg

BC coil overs all round, full stainless exhaust including manifold, 6 paddle clutch form c&g clutches, performance air filter, Toyo proxes x4, bride reclining bucket seats, uprated almera brakes. Simple but very effective.
