2.1 litre V8...

 

:eyebrow:

 

Ferrari made a 2.0 V8. ;) Was in the 208 GT4 & 208 GTB/S True story. :nods:

 

Also I'm going to up the engine size in whatever car I get next, Im used to 2.0 saloons(99 Mondeo, 75, 406) so wanting a bit of ooomph back! :lol:

That said I'll maybe be downsizing to a 0.6 if insurance is right! not for eco reasons, but for coffee! ;)

Put your hand up if you'd install these on your car:

 

Looks cool but I'd probably be too embarrassed to have them on mine (not to mention drilling through my door trim)

and you'll look like a cock

Looks like new! :)

 

I wish it did. Lots of scratches, stone chips, curbed wheels and swirls. Need to convince my dad into a professional detail next year and then new wheels, black grills, Performance diffuser and a 330 exhaust tip, but that will never happen. :lol:

 

 

Autoglym *thumbs down* (Meguiars fanboy, sorry)

Chemical Guys *thumbs up*

 

Autoglym had the cheapest products, yet good enough for me as an amateur. I'm going to use the SRP and EGP for minor parts like wheels or metal parts. Tried it on the wheels and I'm pleased with the finish!

You should really only need to wax your car twice a year and clay bars aren't really at all necessary on new cars, unless they get driven, a lot. Over use of those products or anything similar can be just as bad for your paint, or worse, than not washing it at all.

Am I the only one who doesn't wash my car? Or if I do I use a jet washer at work? :lol:

It hasn't been waxed for three years, washed only with a noname shampoo. I clayed it this summer and waxed it twice last month. I want to protect the car as much as possible, because winter seasons are getting tough here and it is daily driven.

[Guest MrLolololXD]

What kind of wax do you use? Synthetic or natural?

[The Compensator]

Synthetic. AG EGP.

[TIMELESS]

Twice a year? :hmmm: I'd go for 6 times a year :hmmm:

[Fear Deer]

Ryzza that seems cool, but as said, it would make you look like a cock xD Thus, you'd get bored fast.

 

Apu, dont worry, our car is brand new and some idiot made sure to scratch our rear bumper >.< Probably repairing it next month. Just needs paint, it's not dented.

:hi5: Previous owner or dealer managed to reverse into a curb or something. Good job it's right at the bottom, you'd never notice :lol: Celica on the other hand has been key'd by a Toyota hater (Merc owner), and could do with a full respray. *shrug*

[Fear Deer]

Do you guys have proof it was him? You could file something against him in that case...

We on the other hand, have no idea, as it was on a parking lot.

If we had proof he'd be paying for a respray. :/

[The Compensator]

Apu, dont worry

 

I wouldn't be worried if my dad wasn't stupid and didn't want to repair the damage. :fuming:

[Fear Deer]

Because calling him stupid will fix it :p

[The Compensator]

I called him stupid only once when he curbed a wheel after two months of owning the car.

 

I'm just telling him he should spend more on cars than on bikes. :cheeky:

[Fear Deer]

Hah! My dad wouldn't allow me to call him stupid xD. Respect is a very pretty thing x)

We're talking about our (parent's in my case) cars, so what's so off-topic about it? :rolleyes:

[Dan G]

I took some more of (a dirty version of) mine for you to keep on topic :cheeky:
