our 1:1 daily ride....(listen me, saying 'ride', i'm really down with the homies!!)

just decided to give my daily motor a new lease of life after failing to find a good enough reason to sell her on....treated her to a 275 bhp remap, induction kit, full decat system, Prodrive UK300 Ltd Edition rear spoiler, lowering springs and a new set of 18" alloys........she'll do for a while now...







feel free to add pix of your daily ride to this thread lads, there's room for more!!

nice machine billy!!!.....even thou i shouldnt be saying that as impreza and evo men dont get on with each other! lol

cheers m8, ah sure none of the rest of them boys will ever know, i'll not tell if you don't! aye, she's not the fastest thing on the road, especially compared to them crazy evo's, ( ) but she's quick enough, she's reliable and she's comfortable, and i'm getting 27-28 mpg weekly so i'm happy with her for another year or two; went to sell her a month or two ago but was getting cra__y trade-in prices against newer cars which wouldn't put half as big a smile on my face, so decided to keep and freshen her..............happy days!

Very nice car. You picked up a good reg for yourself.

I suggest you put a small secret switch into it to break the circuit for the electric fuel pump. Then should your local thieving basts get the keys and try to drive it away the car will simply cut out in the drive after 30 seconds or so and they won't get away with it. I wish I had done this on my Golf!

maurice...........cheers m8, aye i've had that reg since 1990 so i'll prob keep her now lol! the things we do when we're young and foolish huh?

rory..............thanks m8, yeah thats a good call, would be a worthwhile move considering the number of motors getting lifted...i know another scoob was nicked recently up here and hsn't been seen since... thieving wee sheeeiiites...........! sorry to hear you lost a golf m8, i presume it was a while ago now?

July 12th last year. I had always planned to add the little switch but never did. Its a simple enough thing to do-if the fuel pump has no electric power the engine gets no fuel-so it cuts out. The car will start as there will be some fuel in the lines but it cuts out in a few seconds and in their panic they will simply run away as the car will not start again.

If they get the keys they have the immobiliser code and alarm plipper so its just a bit of physical impediment as well. The switch needs to be hidden somewhere where you can reach when you are sitting in your seat but where it can be found easily. In fact fit two just in case one gets found!

my daily raid, we have 3 cars plus one quad

sweet looking scoob m8!! very nice

rory, great advice that m8, sorry you had to learn the hard way , must look into it for the scoob....cheers

and you just might see him looking again this year!

well i might just bump into you there then m8.... he shouldn't be allowed near stuff like that col, being an evo-man and all.....

ahh but theres 2 sides till that story.....i was walking past the subaru's to get to the evo line up.....or thats my excuse anyway!

aye right m8!! i nearly believe you!
col, its an open thread, and i've seen the hairy hiace, post away m8!!!

Here is my 1/1 car! I have had it since the end of march and I am very happy with it. Focus ST170, 77k on the clock with full service history and had the comfort pack which includes electric automated air-con, quick clear windscreen and xenon headlights. All for £1800 I amvery chuffed to say the least. I went and tried a couple of 172/182's and when I got in the ford it just felt a much more well built car imo. Not to say the clio's werent any fun as they were but had my sensible head on and tbh dont regret it. Lately being spending some money on the car instead of my models, just to get it looking nice and clean like new number plates, couple of bits of plastic that were looking abit dull so replaced them, new centre caps as the ones that were on the car when I bought it were shocking lol

Only plans for the car are to get the alloys refurbed soon, and also a cat back exhaust system, although wondering wether to go for a milltek system or go to a mates friend who does custom exhausts.

Anyway enough of me boring you all here are a couple of pics

nice nicky, looks mint m8!
re the exhaust, like all these things its what you want at the end of the day that will determine what you go for, but any one thing on its own will make a negligible improvement in performance.....a decat, induction kit plus remap would be the first and most obvious improvement packqage, but do all three parts to notice a substantial upgrade.....imho of course!

Looks the part Billy!! Always liked your wagon now its even better!!

ah thanks m8, sure what else would i spend it on, models? lol!!

seen my new 1/1 today new focus st2 its amazing cant wait to get it

my cars still in the dealers garage





I WISH!!! lol

my 1/1 is just a wee mk4 3dr astra 1.6 16v sxi, had plans to mod her like my wee nova, but fell through when I decided to get married and buy a house.. lol she does my job from a to b, always been a big vauxhall fan! the wifes 1/1 is a wee diesel 1.3 cdti 3dr corsa! (there not really worthy off posting up)

ps nice cars lads, billy u must have some money to run that thing lol

uploading these for graham (cardy)








sorry graham i cant get them any bigger for some reason

Very nice motor but i prefer the one before. Think they have gone a bit too big. Nearly same size as the old Mondeo. It is nice though Graham. Enjoy.

My current thoroughbred, with a massive 75 BHP delivered by its 1.2 engine. The farm where this was taken is unfortunately not mine.



Whereas my other toy is looking rather sorry: a 205 1.9 Rallye. Only 1000 of them were made for the German and Swiss markets, fitted with the 1.9 GTI engine with injection to comply with German emission guidelines, instead of the 1.3 on carbs.







One of the previous owners lacked taste: Go Kart steering wheel, multicolour gear knob, purple window film, ...
