My rides.... UPDATE on the square 12.4.08...

Ok, 1st up, is the daily.

BMW 323i Sport.




Next we have the race car.

Honda Civic Vti.

Really like my drag racing, this car was road legal last yr, but is being rebuilt for drag only now, with a new engine.
Last yr with N/A Integra type R engine, I ran 12.9 @ 106mph.






This is the new engine, wont bore you with the spec, but it should produce around 450 - 500bhp.




BMW E30 335i

always wanted an e30, and got this at a few months back, started out as 320i, we fitted a 735i lump in it, so should be fun!
Runs, but still needs some paint and all the goodies fitting to it.

When I 1st got it...



Stripped sound proofing (new mtech interior waiting to go in)



Big new lump!



The mk2....

87' Mk2 Gti 8v, Gti Engineering RE1900 engine conversion.

Thanks to Devo's skills with a camera...






Newest addition is the square project, my son is gonna sort this one, so watch this space!

Here is how it stands..... lots to do!

Your BMW will look quality when u get coilovers on it

Not really a big fan of Beemers but hey there German built too and you gotta love what they do at BMW I.E- M3 any model,M5 latest model and anything Alpina touch is the buisness I also like the new 5 spoke AC Schnitzer alloys, and you my friend are taking these Beemers where they should have been from the factory loving the Schinitzer rims and a 335 E30 thats gonna rock, and last but not least a 450-500 bhp engine is the tits even if it says Honda on the top.
P.S Giz that turbo it would look real nice in my mk5 engine bay.

Now then pete,i see you still like to have a large collection of cars
i think you've had the largest number of cars through your hands than anyone i know
will be interesting to see how the civic does once built,should be a right animal
and i here the MK2 you've just got is rich smiths old car,nice little car

The tourings gonna be nice when dropped, AC SCHITZERS too

Cheers guys, i'm a sucker for cars, always have been, too many ideas for different cars going round in my head! Thought I may have grown out of it by now, but its just getting worse!

Danny - Yeah its lil Rich's old car, needs a few bits doing tho, but it'll be right.

Civic should be a monster (subject to us actually finishing it and it working!) but at that sort of power its all about traction. had it dialed in bang on last yr with the old engine, 1.9 60fts all day on road legal tyres, but with the new setup its gonna be a struggle to get the power down.

Huge slicks will be the way forward.

Updated pics of the E36 and the Golf.

you have too many cars pete think you should give me the mk2


ps you are looking rather shady in that last tour pic

Thought it was time I up dated this.....

Ok, mk2, Touring and Civic and white e30 are long gone.

My daily is now this -



318is shell, 3.5 engine + LSD = FUN!

Other parts on the way include, cf bonnet/boot and sunroof, poly bushed rear beam and new rims (9x15 banded steels) oh and I'm collecting bits to boost it! Should see 350bhp easy.

Right the mk2 squareback has been sat in a lockup since I got it off Spen, with one thing and another I havnt done anything with it, but thats about to change!

Plan is 200bhp and 600kg -

G40 Turbo
Matt paint job
Slammed
8x13's

plus some other bits and bobs to keep it abit different.

And finally, I pick up another mk2 square on Sat, T&T but running probs, plan to run this over show season, bits waiting for it include

8x13 Allycats
Coilovers
R6 bike carbs

also on the agenda

Peppermint green respray
Buckets
Cage
Mk3 dash

My lad has all the ideas for this one, so expect things to change daily!

Pics to follow shortly...
