splinter Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Now I got my 1zz Celica Although I will probably get bored of the 1zz and get either a conversion or PX it for a 190 in 6 months time when I have another year's NCB under my belt. The lack of engine oomph in the 140 is the only niggle I have. You get used to lift aswell!! a year on and dont get me wrong, i love her to peices, but could do with more oooomph! but i just think that it is built into me! haha. make all my cars go faster!! I neeeeeed a turbo again in my life... and rear wheel drive. If my new job comes to fruition, and i get silly. Se7en will be getting a mahooosive project in their laps!!! So here's hoping tuesdays interview goes well. can you say double your salary??!! wooop fucking wooooooooooop!! haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be muckin' finted! Not supercharger noooo. i love my turbos, although i have heard the chargers and they do sound mental. but i want a turbo. And ill be getting loads of money as i am hoping to be moving into engineering side of things in the private mega yacht side of things, im currently on the cruise ships. There is waaaaaaay more money in the private sector but hard to come by. but, friends in high places. three people in the engineering team i know, one of which was my cadet, and junior engineer for a while, he has put me in line for this job, so defo owe him a beer or three if i get it. Then i have been thinking of transplanting RX8 interior and rear chassi into the gen7 to convert it. just need to find a front end write off RX8. And then its onto a montser engine build.

Dark011 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 i was always into fast cars my 1st was......wait for it.....PUG 106...mighty 1.5diesel Performance was stunning with its 52-53horse power, 16seconds to 60mph...amazing Obviously once i fitted the HUGE 14" rims, which by the way were made of alloy, only the best, it went even faster. It was a High-Performance car, so no luxuries like central locking, electric windows.... Oh yeah, only the back driver side was tinted, this was purely for economic reasons.

rammers Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've had over 30 different cars but here are some I have pics for... First one, yes I know, what was i thinking.... Bit more like it....735 if you must know... Then I went for kit car until I got rained on, then it had to go although I rebuilt this completely. Its a spartan, cortina mk4 based. then I came to my senses and joined the celica world before leaving it again when my block cracked And no they were most def not scooby wheels!!!!! then I saw this and had to have it. Any guesses what it is?? prize is diddly squat Had to sell it due to local mongs constantly trying to steal it That was a sad day. then I got the vert so it all ended well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstring Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Whats with all the Mondeo st's I liked the look of the Vectra GSI, a mate has one, heavey car, but still have one over the Mondeo ST... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_matt Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Mondeo ST are always better than Vectra GSI, lol had a vectra SRi while my megane was being repaired, worst month of my life! never felt safe in it! compared to my mondeo which was a pleasure to drive! and produced more power than the GSI and Rammers i'm guessing a Nova?
