Comments (58) Have your say »



By Amanda Williams »





WHEN Headington man Michael Raphel parked his car in a London side street, the worse he feared was a parking ticket.



But when the businessman returned to his red Honda Civic Type R he found it had been blown up by anti-terrorist police.





Mr Raphel, 28, had made the… Continue

Ferrari California test driven

Only Ferrari could get away with naming a car, California. A name that instantly sumeries blue skies, endless beaches and busty blondes - I was lucky enough to jump behind the wheel of the 460bhp California and put it to the test.…

Nismo 400R arches - opinions needed please

My Nismo 400R arches have arrived. I've loosely fitted them with selotape and offered them up. The fit is better than they look in the pictures and the front arches have a slight extention which you can cut off where they meet the front bumper. I would cut that extention off and throw it away.



I would need my arches rolling and a 5mm spacer fitting to make the wheels sit better.



What's your thoughts?



Before:…

Rolls-Royce Mini Cooper



Some of us probably start hoping to see a V12 engine under the hood of a Mini Cooper. That idea is just a bit too unrealistic, but BMW has confirmed that they will produce a Mini equipped with a Rolls-Royce livery in their factory in Goodwood, UK. The Rolls-Royce Mini Cooper will be a ‘coachbuilt’ project that can be created by the customers.



Official news about the Rolls Mini isn’t known yet but Autocar expects to get the first details… Continue

Underground Racing's twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo

I'm a massive fan of raging bull motors, Lamborghini. For me the Italian supercar firm has always managed to get my motoring tastebuds ignited. So , imagine my reaction when I clocked this following movie clip by Underground Racing.



Let's face facts, the Gallardo is not shy in power stakes, even when it's stock. Strap a twin-turbo package to your motor and you've got something that'll make you bust out the Carlton dance every time you get to drive.



The following motor, is… Continue

R35 gets stiff thanks to some German loving

The GTR is the car that Nissan tried to stop the tuners for toying with, but we all knew that would never happen and more parts keep coming for the supercar destroyer.





German suspension firm, Eibach, has just added its latest Pro spring kit to the market, tempting the modifiers with more tuning options. The springs drop the GTR -30mm improving the handling and allowing the wheels to sit snuggly under the arches of the… Continue

Rumours Of New Lamborghini Urus



Having got into the ultra-exclusive market with the Reventon, it’s being reported that Lamborghini will attempt to compete against the upcoming Ferrari F70. The news stems from reports about Lamborghini’s development of a new, range topping supercar, perhaps to be named the Urus.



The car will share much of the same underpinnings as the Murcielago replacement (rumoured to be called the Jota) but will benefit from modifications in the… Continue

Project Astra Coupe

I have owned this car since April 2004, but only within the couple of years have i actually done anything to it.



First off i dropped the car on some FK coilovers and bolted on some Oxygen 18" Alloys. This made the ride harder, but meant i can slam it round corners. Plus the alloys filled the arched well. Because i got 18"s and the car is lowerd a fair bit i had to get the arched rolled too. Next i ordered a JDL bodykit from germany, i like the way it goes with the cars lines. See my… Continue

Moggy Update

UPDATE:



New boot lid fitted - it's fibreglass, so much lighter than the original steel lid. Pattern is good, with indents to mark screw hole positions. There are no indents, however, to show where to drill and cut for the handle or lock!



Next stage: I've brass-rubbed the original holes, and made a paper pattern. When I transfer this to the new lid, cut and fit, everything will be in just the right place to lock...



...because things always work out correctly the… Continue
