post of your old car's thread!

[C2K]

First car was a Rover 214 SEi that I had at 7 years old. I put it into a bush and wrote it off after discovering the rock in the bush. Fail.

Replacement was a near identical Rover 214 SEi but in much rustier condition, somewhat neglected in former years I suspect. Drove that for a year til I bought.. No pics of either on the PC.

My Rover 220 GSi Turbo.

Modified just about everything on it. Rebuilt the box with steel caged bearings, forged the engine, fitted a front mount IC, GT28R, custom made 325mm Brembo setup, 2.5" turbo back stainless exhaust, fully polybushed (all 26 of them), 3 strut braces, koni adjustables etc. Adored this car, it was absolutely bulletproof despite its reputation. I had it for 7 years until I foolishly bought an uprated clutch for my forged engine build from a reputable seller on Rover tech, which turned out to be nothing but hassle. Clutch Let go twice, both on track days, rendering the car undriveable. Passion for it was fast waning so I stripped it for parts. I had bought the HDi 2 years after getting the Rover, here she is, 7 years later and on 239,500 miles at the moment.


During stripping the Rover in late 2010 I bought this:


My TVR Cerbera 4.5 V8 in Rolex Blue Pearl. Absolute animal of a car, ferocious noise and unbelievable pull from the throttle. Having bought it though I felt a hole, as I had nothing to tinker with any more and the HDi was mint by this point, despite the mileage.

To fill that hole I bought this French toy, and have ploughed some wedge into it to modify it to my liking.


To this:



Thats it from me.
