My Cars

[Ricky_111R]

Been browsing PH for a good while now, so thought i may aswell post pictures of some of my cars.

1st off is my Elise 111R, bought this last year as i felt like treating myself :-D
Mod wise it was fitted with a PiperX filter and an Ultralight titanium exhaust system.

Pics:






Sadly tho, i wrote the car off 1 day before my 23rd b'day, so it now looks like this:






Next up is my R32 Skyline GTR...slightly modified ;-)

Spec is too long too list for this, and is currently away getting another forged rebuild as i popped it by accident :-(

Anyway, pics:






And last but not least, the track weapon :-D

My FC3S Mazda RX7...Pics:

Here it is still in Japan waiting to be shipped:









And here it is in my garage, feeling sorry for itself as it never gets used:





Thats all for now, have owned tons of cars since being 17 including GT4's, GTi-R's etc.

Lotus crash looks very nasty, what happened ?

Set of great cars tho ! Skyline and RX7 must be pushing a few horses !

[Ricky_111R]

Eh was heading along a B road in hurrendous weather, rain was really heavy, wasnt too bad tho as the roads didnt feel too bad, about 15 minutes into the journey however the car hit a huge amount of standing water (both lanes severely water logged, arctic lorry and a half long roughly), car pulled sharply into the oncoming lane, so i tried to turn back into my own lane, car just aquaplaned, after that i bacame a passenger on a ver very scary ride, car slid both ways, then eventually decided it was going to aim for the near side verge, which it hit at about 40ish, rolled over and crashed back onto the road upside down. Not the best experience ive ever had in my life, but walked away without any major injuries so was pretty pleased about that.

Yeah GTR was supposedly 500hp, but it broke due to a shoddy ecu map, so its now away getting a full rebuild, stand alone ecu and a few other bits then im hoping for well over 600hp.

And the RX is just over 500bhp according to the guy in Japan that i bought it from, hasnt been on the rollers yet as it needs a remap, getting this done very soon so i can have some summer track day fun with it.

OUCH @ the Elise! I'm liking the RX7.

[Ricky_111R]

Yeah the Elise pics are pretty sore.

Alot of ppl like the RX over the GTR, a dunno at times what 1 i prefer tho.

[flattotheboards]

Sorry to see the Elise like that, looks nasty. The GTR and RX7 are very tidy.

[Jderh]

Sorry to hear about your accident, that Elise looks well and truly dead. Nice Skyline and RX7 though!

[Ricky_111R]

Yeah the Elise is well and truely dead, been confirmed as a Cat B write off. Thanks for the comments on the other 2 cars tho

Shame about your Elise, you did very well to be able to afford that at age 22.

[LotusExcelSA]

little tip.....never drive a lotus in the rain

[MrFlibbles]

Maybe I'm being an optimist but I reckon that might have polished out?

(An oldie but a goldie....)

I LOVE the RX7 - frankly, its awesome.

Was going to say it looks a dead straight bit of road. At least you're ok.

Cheers bud. Yeah GTR shifts along pretty well(well did), was circa 500bhp, however a dodgy remap resulted in boom time for the engine, so its away getting a proper forged rebuild, race grade bearings, race oil pump, few other little toys, then dial in some more boost and crank the pup to hopefully well over 600bhp.

Cheers mate. Yeah alot of people have asked how i managed it on a pretty much straight piece of road so have had to explain it a fair few times lol.
