Previous Modded Motors!
Breaking off from another thread - just wondered what previous modded motors people have had besides their scoobs?

Had a re-spray, indication kit, 4ft Cherry bomb tube underneath, 3" Peco back box, and still managed a top speed of 58mph downhill!

Nothing wrong with the Cooper reverse rims and the Mountney 10" steering wheel, no excuse for that hair though.

I think some of us have to go through the badly modified car stage before we get to the proper car stage, or can at least afford the proper car insurance!
I have no pics of my modded cars, just a couple of my later ones. My first car was a MK1 Chinquecento Sporting on lowered springs and 13 inch TSW alloys, my second car was the bad modded one, a 1.2 MK2 Punto Sporting with 17's, full body kit, lowering springs and a Longlife stainless exhaust, two twin pipes, all on a yellow car at that! |

I think he may of had a bang to the head since, or been to Bad Taste Anonymous sessions.. |
Lifes too short to list my previous ones, just the current ones would be enough.

I blame all the martial arts competitions - too many kicks to the head! Pmsl |
Some of my old ones ;) There are quite a few others in-between and even before the Astra!, but these are ones that stick in my mind/memorable
Mk1 astra 1300 with kent cam, webber 40s and big exhaust 60mm suspension drop on spax springs, full SR body kit, nova SR seats and sun visors, Cavalier SRI wheels, big rev counter on the side of the dash! reved to 8k! it went like stink too! brakes where shocking :P (not helped by the monsterous sound system in the boot weighing it all down.. Please excuse my old friend Shaun on his Honda/rover hybrid. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...psl3njz3sm.jpg more recent? 12 years back? 140bhp/250lb/ft 2.0 hdi (chipped /interwarmer upgrade) green stuff pads and groved discs!) still had a silly sound system ;) http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...pscfi5oyex.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6egicjbd.jpg and more recently still... Miss this one quite a bit :) http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6y4l5407.jpg |
Loving the Mitsubishi :ok:
|
I had a Mk1 Astra 1.6 EXP-S, looked like an SR but had a 4 speed box and no Recaros, bloody thing was rot as a pear, leaked like a sieve and the wetter it got the more it smelt of dogs, sure it must have been used as the official transport vehicle for Crufts for about 10 years before I bought it. Remember pulling away from some lights one day and the front seat mountings pulled out of the floor, if I hadn't had hold of the steering wheel I'd have ended up in the back seat.

also.... Though I cant find any decent snaps, this is a ninja snap.. I would have another one of these if you could find a non drifted/fooked one, epic to drive. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...pslz3lfnnj.jpg |

Only pics I have of previous cars of mine (and both far sportier then their previous brethren)
MK1 Leon Cupra R 225 http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c21e382304.jpg BMW 330Ci http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...cfc1cc0afd.jpg |
Blimey, that Corsa is quite something.
I'd never really modified anything before the FSTi and even that has only very subtle, minor changes. My 205XS did have a GTi exhaust, so maybe that counts. :D |

Mine never looked this good, just read the sales brochure and they boast about it having a passenger door mirror and "low profile" 185/60/14 tyres

Coincidentally, his was from a garage over Reading way. The owner had a 6R4 Metro in his personal collection, which Ayrton Senna drove on the Welsh rally stages. We had a bloody good nose about at that! |
I always wanted one of those Pugs as my first car :ok: - naivety of youth thinking I could insure it! ha ha
|
My 3.2 Quattro sport I had before the Impreza, only subtly modified.
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/...d/43e38b2c.jpg This was a great car, but only bought it to tidy up and sell on. http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/...C362CC69B7.jpg http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/...C36CDAA8BB.jpg Currently got this in the garage being pulled apart and de-chaved. Not modified by me by the way. http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/...psf6b7c0d8.jpg http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/...psa80a5a2e.jpg http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4d6bc6bd.jpg |

I wanted that front bumper but didnt want to pay the price it was for sale at . |
I wish I had a picture of my old Golf, 1990 White 3 dr Gti MKII with SWG deep grille spoiler and 2 light 3 bar grille, SWG deep rear spoiler its HL brake light and lay flat rear wiper.
I had a full Koni/Eibach suspension setup with Eibach front strut brace and Eibarh ARB's, Longlife custom stainless exhaust and 16' BBS RX alloys. I also had a full Ice install with Rockford Fosgate Speakers in the Audio scape pods with a JL Audio Sub all running from A JL Amp and a Nakaminchi H/U. The engine was a 2.0 Block with 8V heads and Neumann camshaft - I also had G60 brakes all round and a full lather re-trim. Can't believe I traded it in for £500 against the Impreza! |
Timmy I recognise that black v3 sti she was a great car used as my wedding car.

Cool thread this and some nice motors posted above.
My journey began with this bad boy. Not much done to it as it was my first car and insurance on a 1.6 was harsh. Kept to rims and ice.... http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7b41e2cc.jpg Next up was the starbo, 1.3 Turbo with a fair few mods and completely stripped out inside. Ran about 180bhp and weighed next to nothing... http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/...psa3d54043.jpg MR2 turbo followed, this had a fair bit done to it as well and imo looked the nuts... http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8bc6802d.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/...psfa1fe5bc.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3cd96995.jpg Then it was scoob no.1 (although not technically a previous as I still have it!)... http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/...psygiunjw0.jpg And alongside scoob no.2 I have this as my daily hack. Not (yet) modded and not a previous either but a good little fun motor... http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/...psefbfac5a.jpg |
Loving the MR2 !!! looks amazing...
Scoob is awesome as well :ok: |
My old Mini Cooper SPI... god I miss this thing.
It had a full Maniflow exhaust system, sounded awesome. (Edited to add second pic) That just had a Fletcher rear box at that point. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1457/...d03c7938_c.jpgRover Mini Cooper SPI by Will Nassif, on Flickr http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psib2jypsw.jpg |
Mint looking mini! Love the wheels :ok:
|
Thanks :) I'd get another Mini instantly if I could, they're such a laugh.
One day! |
I'd love an original Mini that didn't need welding back together again every other again.
