F1ACK Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Not had many as I have never been able to sell a car. Started with this one an Orion 1.6 Encore that I got aged 17 on the day of passing my test.http://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other/F1ACK1.jpg Didn't take long before I started modifying it and ended up with thishttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other/F1ACK4.jpghttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/f1ack/4.jpghttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/f1ack/5.jpg After 130k miles the engine and chasis both needed replacing, so I decided to scrap the car and start again, so I bought this,http://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/day11.jpg a 1996 Escort Saloon 1.8i Ghia which now looks like this:http://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/orion/wheels185.jpghttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/orion/wheels183.jpghttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/orion/installVoodoo.jpghttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/orion/enginetouchup10.jpg I also bought as a project car an MR2 2.0l Turbohttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/projectferrari/car1.jpg Which after a bit of a polish now looks like thishttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/mr355/road/road1.jpghttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/mr355/road/grass1.jpghttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/mr355/road/grass2.jpghttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/mr355/road/grass4.jpg I also found I needed a sensible car for trawling up the motorways so I bought a 1997 BMW 528i with a 2.8l straight 6 engine. http://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/bmw/bmw2.jpghttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/bmw/bmw5.jpg And finally I bought an escort rs2000 2WD, as I wanted the engine for my escorthttp://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/rs2000/DSC06417.JPG not much left of it nowhttp://modworld.co.uk/images/other/engineout5.jpghttp://modworld.co.uk/images/other/engineout6.jpg And that just about wraps up my car history, well I say history, I still own 4 of them so it's more present. Also own a big red van which can be seen in the background of this picturehttp://modworld.co.uk/images/other/modded5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meekstaaa Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 very nice set of car's although if i'm honest i'm not keen on teh front bumpers, just don't look right.I love your mr355 its lovely Very good work, at least you'll be able to sell that one! Oh and i can't see a red van in the background my eye's can't stray far from the front!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortgti98 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) it obvious the mr355 is stunning but i really love this front bumper, and the car as a whole, what bumper is it? i never seen it before. http://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/orion/wheels185.jpg nice van too, 6 air bags Edited September 30, 2007 by escortgti98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1ACK Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 The bumper is off a Nissan 200sx, cut down a bit in places, and extended a bit in other places to fit. I'm going to get a smaller numberplate like al had on his, looks much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattius Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 What polish do you use, if it transforms the look of your car like that i think i want some lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tez162003 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 wow not offen i like all the cars in someone history, but i think i do in your case! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt86 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 The airbags are on the girls not the van!Cars al look good, you did a much better job on the second saloon though and the front bumper looks great. Shame the RS2000 got ripped apart but Im guessing there was something wrong with it? Where do you live by the way F1ack as I saw a F355 rep in Upton Upon Severn (Worcestershire) the other day.

F1ACK Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Wasn't me, I live in hampshire. The RS2k had been front ended (plus big holes in the chasis...) http://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/rs2000/DSC06415.JPG The install is a 5kW RMS system build with Voodoo Car Audio components, considering loosing the back seats next year to make it even bigger http://www.mod-madness.co.uk/other2/orion/installVoodoo/voodoo2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robexor Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 didnt Ferrair Sue the compnay that made those replica kits for the MR2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1ACK Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 There are several different companies and several different kits, ranging from good to bloody terrible. The company that made this one has been shut down, apparently the owner was tailed by some big blokes in alfa romeos, then their moulds where set of fire and thrown in a skip. As they were charging nearly 20k to build each car I think they probably figured they had made enough money and retired to some sunny country.
