started out in 1998 with a 1985 metro - blue headgasket and killed it.
Then went into a 1988 fiesta - 2 accidents and tappets like a drumming platoon i killed that.
1994 chavalier 1800lsi. Loved at the time when all my mates were driving round in mk2 fessies.
Sold and bought a civic 1800vti - loved this, very quick for what it was. Little bit of a sleeper.
First turbo was this one.
Then i wanted more economical but somehow ended up coming home from Southend one day with this..
Then i did go economical...Kept for few years but after dropping it 60mm(not in these pics) it went through shock absorbers every couple of months, rear bumper cracked and trim was through being too stiff. It ended up going to one of the gents at API impreza funnily enough ( Ian i believe his name was ) _ Would be curious to see what its like now if he still had it.
I then bought ths one... Mapped to 185bhp and 300lb torque. Had my first european drive in this and saw just over 140mph on the autobahn in it. Somewhere up sheffield way i believe now.
And this is where i'm at now, couldn t leave the jap camp forever as turbo japs are in my blood a bit to much.
Not seen another bug eye with this spoiler on it (yet) Now rocking a vortex system and debadged

A few i haven't had pics of but here are the pics i do have of previouse cars
Nova started of as a white std 1.4sri many moons ago lol
2.0l 16v 185bhp cams, head work, lightned and balanced. knilf edged crank etc... wish i put throttle boddies on it
M reg WRX started out std.. ended up being a '99' conversion and 305bhp
'97' Type R
Mk1 FRS when i got it... (still have it now pics of it @ the end)
Brought this to use for work and it was cheap lol .. built with ebay bargains
P1 always wanted one
Picked up another Mk1 FRS after the P1 was sold as it was a cheap car
Then did a 'uber' deal on this E8 260 but running 340bhp and MR styling
My current cars are 'The original' Mk1 FRS currently having a engine built and will be running 400+bhp
And the work horse Clio 172 which gets 377 miles to £55 of petrol which i was surprised by

I've been through quite a few cars in my time and I don't have photos of them all but here are some of them
my 3rd car a Manta GTE
Sierra 2.9 4x4 GLS
I replaced that with an XR4x4. Although it looks standard here it had a £7k engine build! It was originally a turbo technics 225 but a motorsport club bought it and wanted to use it as a trackday demonstrator so they built an N/A 2.9 to a very high spec
I got bored with the XR4x4 because it was perfect and after I'd added some wheels and had some bodywork done all that was left was to re-turbo charge it but I decided to change cars and bought this instead
At the same time I had this for 6 months whilst the engine was being rebuilt on the integrale
I replaced the integrale with one of the best cars I've ever owned! a £300 Carlton GSI 12 valve in manual. Great fun and very tail happy and at only £300 it didn't matter to me if I smacked it and I drove it like I'd stolen it
At the same time I had this as a company car
I replaced the Carlton with this, it lasted 5 weeks because it was so boring.
I replaced that with a 24 valve GSI
Time for a new company car
The 24 valve replaced by my first Subaru, it started out like this
and ended up like this
I decided to have a break from modifying cars and had this for 2 months
Before I bought this
Which became this, stage 3 at 350bhp
I decided to hand back the company car and bought a Focus ST225 as a daily drive
15 months later I replaced the Focus with an M3, I still have this
I then decided to sell the Cosworth and get my bike license and a bike but 2 hours after selling the Cosworth I broke my ankle and as I wanted something to do whilst I was recovering I bought this
When I broke that I bought my 555 that I also still own, it was a standard car when I bought it
It's now looking like this it's running 420bhp
