Show Us Your Motors!

I'm not sure if I want to go crazy with the mods on my MPS at the moment. Mine looks just like that minus the red callipers (got me thinking now though, it does look good).

 

[geekman]

You see, I disagree, I had them put on because I couldn't source anything else at the time and one of the tyres was destroyed from it being flat and driving on it for 1/2 mile.
I've not had any kind of issue slamming on the brakes in the wet, or have any doubts when going round a roundabout far too quickly in the wet, or the dry, quite literally the tyres haven't ever caused me to think I needed better ones. They have however only lasted about 10k miles and are on the limit, so a pair of Vredesteins Sessantas are going on (got them on the back, plenty of life left in them)

*Edit* No I wouldn't purchase them again, but just saying they aren't literally ditch finders(although might be different with them on the rear as well)

I put 4 brand new ones on my astra as I was selling it soon and didn't see the point in buying premium tyres for the sake of a few weeks driving. They replaced some worn bridgestones, and the difference was immediately obvious. It understeered in the wet even at low speeds, and I'm fairly sure they were responsible for an accident I had when a van pulled out in front of me on a wet road. The accident did go down as his fault, but my car took a very, very long time to stop and I'm pretty sure that if I'd had decent tyres on it I would have been able to stop in time.
Nowadays I only buy premium tyres, just not worth the risk IMO.

Wanted: another e36 so I can try my hand at running the wall without smashing the daily driver up any more

That won't happen soon but I might be able to run 3rd with the 3.15 final, that would increase the smoke dramatically.

Oh, that MPS looks pretty nice

 

[Howard]

You need an old stripped out E30 or something

 

[Clarkey]

They are valuable classics now, can't use one of those for intentionally hitting walls

 

[paradigm]

I was gutted that I missed out on an e36 yesterday that I was bidding for on eBay.

It was a lovely example too bar a few mods that I'd have removed almost immediately (namely bad tints and angel eyes).

Oh well, the hunt for a relatively cheap one continues.

Must admit I'm quite fond of the high spec E36s, I'd love a nice M3.

Saw a newish S2000 with 'Triangle' tyres a long while back, haven't seen it for a while so I assume it's in a ditch somewhere.

So would I lol. Tbf it's almost inevitable that an S50 will find it's way into my engine bay though.

Listen to her go....

That was so relaxed it actually make me laugh, although i thought you had to dip the clutch to handbrake?

 

[peterattheboro]

Nice day for a little hoon and a photograph

He did

 

[Howard]

I thought mine looked quite shiny in the Hobbycraft car park last night

 

[peterattheboro]

I miss my ST.

But then I VTEC all over the place

 

[adapt]

bet that feels rapid. How is torque steer?

Lol I get asked this all the time so wondered when someone was going to say it, I honestly don't notice any and yes I have drove other fwd turbos and yes done plenty of track days etc to know what I am talking about. I have put on stronger anti roll bars and it feels well planted in the corners if you don't go crazy.

 

[L0rdMike]

Still not happy with how its running.

 

[daz]

Just got this on Friday to replace the old Alfa.

It's a Lexus CT200h Advance. Looked at a few different options, and I did like the look of C classes which were going especially cheap on leases but the Lexus is a bit of an out there option with its hybrid engine and spec level.

[acemastr]

That's actually ridiculous.

[Muffin`]

That's actually ridiculous.

I know right
