First up is the Integra type R Dc2 Had this nearly 2 years.
Imported it from Japan in near stock form since then it has:

Exedy stage 1 racing clutch
Dixcel type Z pads
Toyo r888s
Eibach pro springs
Blitz power meter
Spoon n1 exhaust and decat.



I love the handling its so easy to control, so much fun on the track.

Next car is my BMW M Coupe, bought this one last year and loving M power lol. Only thing that has annoyed me is the vanos seals went a couple of weeks ago, a common fault apparantly rolleyes
Would like to get the coupe on track sometime aswell.



And some pics from a blast over the moors taken last saturday





Just need some pistonhead stickers to finish them off smile
Cheers smile

What next? Are you going to tell us you are married to a nymphomaniac Swedish supermodel?

That would be the icing on the cake!

You are very lucky to have such a pair of lovely cars. I'm hyper envious thumbup

My mortgage saw the end of my 2nd toy car too. Its catch 22. I paid more for my house so that I could afford to have a garage and fill it with a project car, however never have a penny left over to spend on it.

It'll all come good in the end though ..... If the M has to go, don't let it leave without going for a track outing first thumbup

Love the M Coupe (best colour too smile ) - plan to chop my M roadster in for one after enjoying this summer hairdresser style. Out of interest how much did the Vanos seals set you back?

I think i will make the most of it this coming summer before im stuck with a mortgage to pay, no spare cash and a whining gf.
A trackday in the MC is defenitly on the cards this year, ive got one booked at croft but the plan was to use the teg as usual but i might just change my mind wink

I bought a vanos seal kit from mrvanos.com for £55, it was easy enough to do.

BMW quoted me over 2000 and said they would just replace the whole vanos unit. Bunch of cocks ranting
Also got a quote of a well known BMW specialist who told me the big end bearings would also need replacing without even looking at my car rolleyes
