The Barge...
2.2 i-DTEC Accord EX-GT (Acura rebadge)
Mapped to 192hp/325lbft
Many many bits done - 19" Enkeis inbound from Japan as we speak. ✌
I went up to the Lake District with a friend at the weekend. It was my first long-distance journey in the Golf, but it proved to be very good on the motorway and it had no problems with some of the roads (especially Hardknott Pass).
I have bought myself new, 3rd "car"! Its 2001 LC95 with 3l diesel 120kw. It has cruise control, sunroof, AC, heated seats, 8 seater and some other extra options.
Don't think I shared my car since I had some work done, so here it is. It now has a custom 2.5" turboback exhaust system, the EGR has been blanked off, DPF has been gutted as well as the Cat. So pure diesel roar I suppose you could say. Supporting software of course, I suspect around 200hp with 430~nm of torque, but planning on taking it to a dyno to prove its real performance. I could buy a bigger turbo and better clutch, but at that point I could just use the money for a quicker car. It's a fun daily though.

Shocking... Definitely should be considered a crime
I changed ride like 4 months ago. Now I drive a Peugeot 206 2.0 GTI 136hp.
Having some late night fun with my dads lil project/summer car.
Thought I'd show off the new 'fitment' setup. This boi is going skidding
Booked in for mapping in two weeks time!

Some of you may already know about my car, but for those who don't:
Here is my first car - a 1990 Toyota Corolla [CE90]!
Powered by a 1.8 liter diesel inline-4 [1C-III] making a measly 66 hp and 123 Nm, but what do you expect from a Toyota diesel made in the 90's? At least it's enough to move its 1035kg of (curb) weight.
Bought it back in November 2021 with around 359100 km, now it has 363621 km (225943,6 miles) at the time of writing this post.
Yes, the 6th gen Corolla isn't that big of a deal... but who cares? For a first car - I love it! Except the fact that I lost all clutch pedal pressure 3 weeks after I bought it due to a clutch fluid reservoir failure.
That’s pretty cool actually, the mileage is impressive.
Very nice cars!
I in fact, have done another purchase, after i broke my Pug206GTI.
I'm now the happy owner of a 2007 Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 Titanium in great condition.
CC, 2 zone AC, electronically controlled seats and mirrors, heated seats, 6 gears, ST220 wheels, comes with a set of winter wheels too. Very smooth drive with a lovely sound.

Indeed the mileage is impressive! There are a couple more E90 Corollas in my municipality, and all of them have a higher mileage - one's at 490000km!
I'd like to reach 400000kms on mine - family's already telling me to buy a better car soon lol

Love it, what a beast

Absolute beauty that Ras, definitely a worthy upgrade
Hopefully many comfortable miles to be had in her.
I'm back in a Vic again, kind of /
Scratched front bumper crew
Still needs an ECU tune, and other small adjustments done here and there, but it is in a drivable state.
After 4000€~€ Engine rebuild and ~3000€ into the suspension and other parts, i must say its a great feeling to drive it again, but my wallet didnt like it at all.
Le straight piped Ibiza TDI still going strong 160,000 miles / 257,000km
Enjoying dat UK countryside.
