2011 is going to be massive! While Christmas looms, the workload hasn't eased off at Fueltopia Towers and tonight instead of chilling in and avoiding the snow and the ice, I braved a visit to London's infamous Ace Cafe.

The cafe was hosting VAG night that I was told on a non-icy night attracts some of the finest Euro machinery this side of the Channel. However, as the snow plummeted from the sky, only a few had been brave enough to bring out their cars risking man and motor…

Ahoy! All Fueltopians

So I was playing around with big sticker sizes on my car in Photoshop...

What you think?

We have performed another widearch conversion to a MkIV Toyota supra. Our widearch conversions seem to be gaining popularity thanks in part to JamieP's publication of our

work on MkIV supra.

Dave's car is now at the bodyshop being smoothed and repainted. Stand by for finished pictures…

The Supras bodywork modifications have finally been completed and as you can see below the rear arches look excellent. We have incorporated a GT750 emblem over the arch as a finishing

touch.

The car is currently having a high power clutch fitted, and once this is done it will be ready to roll once again.…

We are developing a new dual blade spoiler for installation on Jamie's Supra. This incorporates our constant profile blade carbon spoiler with Jamie's existing standard

spoiler, as shown in the 11th of September update.

We have also fitted some of our carbon fibre widearch front wings to…

The rear quarters and bumper are now complete in carbon fibre and on the car For the Puma Time Attack car we have tried a new laminating routine using both Carbon-Fibre

and Carbon-Kevlar, and this has given the panels a great deal of strength

for much less weight, even than our normal carbon lay up. Work is now going

on to do the same to the front wings and bumper.…

We have been approached by a customer to perform restoration work on a Triumph Stag classic car that he has just purchased. The car is in good condition overall

but needs a little attention to the chrome bumpers and around the doors

where a little rust is bubbling under the paint.…

We have completed the aero kit for the MR2 and the car is now in the bodyshop being base coated to allow us to take moulds from it in the near future. The bodywork

has been thoroughly modified in order to increase downforce and engine

cooling, which is a common problem with these cars. …

No I haven't lost my mind! Yes, it's Wednesday Lunchtime Goodness and Yes, I've choosen a Lada. However, it's not just any old Lada of the street, this piece of Russian automotive history has fallen into the hands of Fat Punk Studio, who have given it a makeover that would slap Gok Wan in the chops like a pair of nunchuck's.

In collaboration with X Customs in Australia, the crew at Fat Punk took this wrap and vehicle design to a whole new level. At most shows many just leave…

as i have told you a few months back, because of my illness, i had to give up my love for cars and repairing and modifiying them. this was the worse year for me, as the weather was fairly warm and humid, thus keeping me a prisioner of my own home.

every year, we have a city wide, free yard sale weekend here in my small town. turns out, my next door neighbor, works in a impound yard, so when a car goes to auction, he gets to strip them of any and all loose items. not a car guy, none of…

I'm one off these people who believe that manufactures should'nt use celebs to sell a product,and its the products that should sell itself,,,i mean if it cant sell itself then it should'nt be on the market in the first place..

a prime example of this is bmw.

,,, bmw doesn't use celebs to sell cars,,, the cars are very successful at selling themselves, and if Tom Cruise was driving one, it wouldnt make me want to go out and but one just because he is paid to look like he's…
