'75 MGB GT Factory V8: Car number 2358 of 2591

If you ever plan to mod' it I recommend looking into fitting a 325 inlet manifold, apparently it gives a decent performance boost on the 328. Team that up with a cold air intake and a properly designed exhaust and you could have yourself a really nice engine set-up.

Not to try and get the argument going again but Badboy (or whatever the name was): which Civic Type-R is it; EK9, EP3 or FN2? I was lusting over the JDM EP3 last night, really like the look of them especially the Japanese ones which have shorter gearing and an LSD. Shame they cost ~£8,000 which is S2000 and Integra Type-R money! They'll still be top of the list if I'm ever after a hot hatch though.

Have you changed the Mazda? I remember seeing something about some other car on Facebook !

also, there seems to be a lot of discussion about the BMW 6-series.

A lot of people question the styling, but I think its fantastic. It somewhat captures that GT-like styling, separating itself somewhat from the Mercedes SL, and the rather more hardcore Porsche 911, whilst not being a 2-door fluffy carpet like Mercedes CL.

I recently had one, sport model, and it had a 3-liter twin turbo diesel engine, which was absolutely fantastic. It gave brilliant MPG whilst giving you that throw-you-back-in-your-seat effect, thanks to its 580Nm torque which kicks in at a rather early 1750rpm (is it sad that I remember all these figures?!)

I have driven a BMW 3-series coupe before (325d M-sport) but it feels a bit more harder... not to my taste.

Don't get me started on the 1-series....

The ep3 is so much easier to drive fast though being fwd against the twitchy and less than confidence inspiring s2k rear end. But then again, when you get it right in the S you know it was all you. Shame you can only do that on the track.

In short, get a ep3, more fun day to day, more accessible power, easier to find a goodun and cheaper to run as well.

That second MGB is so Dads owned several MGB's (his favourite being convertible with hard top roof and soft top, think that was the Roadster, not his GT) and they've always been one of his favourite cars he's owned, alongside his Jaguar XJRs, He's always wanted a Jaguar E-Type with a V12 though...

Personally would love to own a Porsche 924...

I kind of thought that might be the case, but the fact the S2000 is a convertible is a big plus in my books. If I got the EP3 I'd only want the JDM version with the LSD and shorter ratios and in sexy Championship White but you pay a MASSIVE premium for them.

Yeh, I mean don't get me wrong, the S2k is no lay about and is faster on paper than the ep3, but you only have to be mediocre to drive a ep3 fast, you have to have pretty adept driving skills to drive the S2k at the same pace as an ep3 on the public roads through B roads. Largely because the roads are **** and full of pot holes just waiting there to bump steer you of the roads. This is easily (but expensively) solved with J's or Cusco anti roll bars front and rear though...and a good geometry setup!

Yep you do! But try a UKDM one, you might be surprised. I have never driven a JDM EP3, but the UKDM EP3 really impressed me. It certainly felt faster than the S2k, even though it probably wasn't.

But yeh, the soft top is good in the summer and on those bright winter days! Just gotta look after it and be sure to check for rips just above the bodywork behind the door and immediately above the drivers shoulder.

The S2k is also much rarer than a EP3 and driven by true petrolheads.

If I could get hold of a DC5 'teg I'd be quite tempted, although I could see myself still picking the EP3 over it.

Get a grip man! DC2!!!

The boyfriend really wants one of these but I won't let him (we can't afford it)

Alas I have no car, as I can't drive yet

Cheers for the kind words! Not owned a 924 myself - had a couple of 944's and a 911, though?

Few more pics of the red V8 if you're interested?

It's only got 38k on the clock from new, so it's pretty clean for a 'B let alone a factory V8?
I've tried to modify it in a 70's style. Although, I stopped short of a fur interior and a fog light mounted on the axle!
It's a long term work in progress really. Not to everyone's taste for sure, but I only set out to amuse myself in the first place.



I've got a Hilborne bug catcher scoop to go on when I can find a suitable bonnet to cut a hole in to clear the scoop and I'm currently on the look out for some 70's style rear window louvres.
The ultimate goal would be to have a great big GMC supercharger poking through the bonnet, but that'll have to wait until I've got a spare 3 grand to throw at the car so it won't be happening this year
