Calling All Petrol heads!
Jump to: Newest in thread
As a self confessed petrol head and lover of both two and four wheels i thought I'd see who here also has a passion for their cars and bikes, so come on all you boy and girl racers, you car connoisseurs, wheelie warriors and knee down nut jobs let's see if we can get more people to connect through our shared passion of petrol ( dirty diesels also welcome) lol

Dirty diesel here, and it can beat most of the modern petrol cars on a 1/4 run.
Love jap cars, my old scoob was fun, but I didn't like spending upwards of £120 a week on petrol

Currently Subaru WRX remapped and few mods to 295bhp. Have owned four BMW's as well which 2x were used for drifting peaking at 370bhp.
As for two wheels I've had a few 400cc pocket rockets but got my eyes set on a nice Husky Nuda, or if one becomes available at a very cheap price, a H2  (yes I seem to have a death wish haha) |

Had a 1.8 Honda Civic with a sound system capable of around 150dB
Would blur your vision it was that loud 
Currently got a civic type R which will be going this year probably. Need something more sensible/practical now |

Most diesels will outrun a petrol on a 1/4 mile, it’s the simple fact they have a turbo and most petrols dont. They are so easy to get extra power out of. You could spend less than £500 on mapping a diesel with dpf deletes etc and they’ll be pretty fast.
It’s when you come up against a proper petrols that’s been tuned that diesel can’t compete.
Turbo a type R or tune a Subaru up and they’ll outrun all but the biggest diesels |

"BMW 335D mapped to 330hp
Renault Megane Renaultsport RS 250 mapped to 342hp
Also have 2 go karts both of which are faster than my Renault to 60. "

Petrol head and love anything with a V. Car's a V6 Vectra VXR and the truck is a V8.
900 thundering horses between them. Firm believer that loud pipes save lives. |

Sierra Sapphire Cosworth, Cortina 1600E and a Ford Capri 3.0 Ghia which I owned/sold back in the 80’s but last year I traced it down as it was living in Ireland and bought it back for a lot more than I sold it for. |

One of my passions is cars and anything automotive. I'm a proud owner of a car race license. Love racing around tracks! Done track days before. Done a few 24 hr races and doing one again this year.
Once owned the Mark 1 Fabia VRS which was an amazing motor! Now have a Smart ForTwo which I push to the limit on the roads on a daily basis. It's a Go-Kart and incredibly fun to drive. Looking at the Polo or UP GTI as a potential next motor.
Last night I booked tickets to American Speedfest at Brands next weekend. Love American Muscle. Also considering going to the Eureka party on Saturday night. |

Used to have a Mazda RX7 with the Wankel Engine which I loved.
My current car is fast too.
Back in the day used to always go to the Lombard RAC Rally at stupid o clock on a dark winters day with my then boyfriend. |
