Little update on the CURPA, i got a forge induction kit a while ago as it was going cheap even though the long ducting has to be bent around the engine bay and I didnt feel any gain with it.

The 1.4tsi is in many diff cars so i ordered a 90degree bend from the sirrocco tsi kit and cut up the long ducting to use as a connector Much more improvement and the sound is good too, can hear the turbo spooling and sucking more now.

BEFORE(standard induction)


AFTER(modified Forge induction)






Intake temps have been reduced by around 50% of previous and stay low even when giving it some when these cars after repeated runs would suffer from heat soak, specially at traffic lights after a few standing starts lol

Nice mod Mongoose, looks decent and well done

[Mongoose]

Cheers McGerkin. Old TC Bum has just bought a Seat ibiza FR (150bhp 1.4TSi with DSG box ect) since hes seen mine he wanted a vauxall VXCharveR but soon changed his mind after a few passenger rides in mine

Its really nice doesnt feel 30bhp slower than mine it really flies as well. THe induction kit is going well and still love the sound of the car spooling up hehe

Next mod on the list for mine in the new year is a remap to around 210+bhp Will see easy sub 6 second 60's I did ask the GF to buy me it for Xmas but she is petrified of the car as it is so i dont think that will be under the tree this year.

Also just paid out for my years insurance. £749 with mods declared. About £100 cheaper than my fiesta would of been! Winner.

I'm gettin 3-Series (fake?) M with 250HP

Not sure if it's real cause of the modifications the owner has done to it..

But if the car works good enough will get it for ~10000€

M3 has 341bhp (or 340, depends if you have the blaatblaat 54 engine or the 52 one.). Out of a Inline 6 3.2l. The 2.8l engine has 250bhp.

My first car which I bought when I was 15 for a lil project for 248 off ebay (was a heap when I got it)

Ended up looking like:




Next I bought this great example with 39k miles on the clock:





(rare to get black ej9s!)

I will be saying farewell to it soon as I bought another car today, ill get some snaps tomorrow

The EJ9 was just abit too new and perfect, I prefer the older cars as they have abit more character and are far far FAR better to drive!

ps- I had a coupe at somepoint too, but that was a pile of toss.

That (arround?) '95 Honda looks awesome

[SO•Audiojack]

Let's spam this thread with Hondas then, shall we? (And yes, I know some plastic bits are missing, I got that covered.)



I would have taken a short video clip with it running too but it started raining just as I took that pic

[Fujioshi]

That honda has no idea what its in for lol

Snooooow Cars looking well- Good set of rubbers on it as well Mike.

Gravels work well in the snow Better than road tyres atleast lol. Not sure about winter tyres cos i've never tired them.

Spending some money on mine atm. Brakes & suspension.
New Disc rear beam (possibly polybushed too)
uprated front calipers and discs
uprgraded Master cylinder
uprated engine mount
possibly braided lines seeing everythings going to be off.
Strut brace
uprated rear dampers
Undecided on front suspension yet.

Currently have the rear beam, discs and calipers for front, strut brace, engine mount. Still need to buy the rest.

Oh and currently buying (waiting for a reply) a Stainless steel 4-2-1 & fitting new Idle control valve when I have some free time.

Finally got TT running and took few pics while was on test drive.

Ye its quite a blast to drive in winter, summer it different kind of fun when you get all the power to ground not just spining all 4 wheels example today i couldn't put my foot down before 5 gear and thats only whit 1.3bars of boost, next summer goal is to make tune for 1.7bars
