One for the shiny car brigade by PCPaul
My other half (she says better) has an old Mazda 323F that she loves. It's a '91 car with 150K on it but being a Mazda it refuses to die. Unfortunately the paint is that nice red colour that oxidises on some panels and not others leaving a dull almost floury look. For her birthday I was thinking of getting it tarted up a bit (a bit = £100 or so max). Would a valeter do that sort of thing?...

Anything with a Merc 320CDI engine. Except an ML obviously. I see that you can have it in everything from a C class upwards these days, so I think it'll be either a C or an E - the S class is a bit large. And one of these tuning box thingys. 230bhp 406 lb/ft of

Golf springs by Doki
Can anyone tell me why spring kits for the 8V MK2 GTI and the 16V are different? Is it to do with the spring cups on the shocks or just the weight of the extra kit / engine on a 16V?

GOOD NEWS! by Artist44
The Latter Rain... Salvation comes from God, whom the Bible calls as the Living God and Savior. God is employing a human being in order for His will to be fulfilled ... and that is the salvation of man. Our Lord Jesus Christ will bring two kinds of salvation, through the Bible. At the time He assumed human form, He saved Israel from its sinfulness. That is written in Matthew 1:21, which says-

Ewww, on topic post by Timo Geusch
Amazingly enough, I did manage to modify a car today. The MX-5 now sports a harness bar and 4-point harness for the driver, plus a rear strut brace. Now all I need to do is find a convenient weekend to fit the rollbar and I'll actually have some space in my garage back... -- '89 Mazda RX-7 Convertible Mazda MX-5 trackday shed '94 Mitsubishi Evo II Audi A8

VW engine type gurus by Bob Sherunckle
My Golf has a 1.6 AFT in it - it says so on the cam cover. Were I to consider an exchange engine, what fits where an AFT fits. Doesn't have to be a 1.6 neccesarily :-)

OT ish: Pikey Bluetooth Head Unit by Chris Bartram
Does this count as a mod? I know someone here bought the Lidl one a while ago- well, now Aldi have one for under £50. It's not half bad either. Does all you'd expect and reasonable sound quality, plus takes a USB stick or SD if MP3 is your thing. It even looks OK. There's silver (yuk) and black versions. Only compalints? I had to take a dremel to the back of the Fabia's dash as the unit was...

A post about modding a car by Steve Firth
Well, sort of a car. I've just finished changing every single rubber bushing on the 4xFord for polyurethane bushings supplied by Energy Suspension Components in the US. I've also changed the anti-roll bars for lighter components from the same source, and I've replaced the short link from the roll bar to the lower wishbone with a more rigid component from ESC. It's transformed the feel. Much...

Civic VTI - Replacement standard exhaust in Stainless by colenum
Hi, I have got a 1997 Honda Civic VTI and find that each section of the standard Honda exhaust rusts out in just 2 years. I now have found I have a crack in my exhaust manifold and thought it would be a good time to look into replcing the full exhaust system with a stainless steel one. There are loads of companies that do so called 'performance' exhaust that sounds load but I would like an...

At last by Pete M[_4_]
I've managed to get my hands on a car I never thought I'd be able to find. After nearly 25 years of hunting one down, I've managed to find a tidy Renault 30 TX. 68k miles, been off the road since the late 80's / early 90's. Needs recommisioning, a new back box, trim and bumpers putting back on and a few little bits and bobs here and there. Need to flush the fuel tank, etc. I is a happy...
