My Cars + Introduction
My name is Nathan and I am from England. I am a Mechanic and a Gearbox Technician (I mainly specialise in Automatics but can rebuild Manuals too!). I thought I would put a little introduction here as well as showing you guys my cars.
Honda Accord 2.0 SE Sport. 170hp, Limited Slip Diff, Adaptive Suspension, Electric Everything. This car makes for a fantastic long distance cruiser with all it's electronic gizmos, but with it's handling upgrades and light weight, it also makes for a very well handling car. I have been hard pushed to find a FWD family hatchback that handles as well as this! Currently off the road awaiting a respray and some other desperately needed cosmetic repairs. I love the engine in this car too. VTEC kicks in at 4500rpm and hangs on right until 8650RPM. She is a proper screamer.
Lexus GS300. This is my other daily to use while the Honda gets worked on. Fantastic car and lovely to drive. A little heavy on the fuel though, but people who buy cars like this do not care about fuel economy.
1995 Ford Mondeo Mk1 Saloon. No pictures as of yet. Car has been modified. It's party piece is the engine. The original 2.5 V6 was swapped with a 3.0 V6 from the later ST220 model, and was then supercharged a year later. The car was putting out over 400HP at the crank, which then went through the front wheels (!). The car is currently in parts, with no floorpan...A RWD conversion awaits it.
Thanks for reading guys. I will try to remember to take some snaps of the Mondeo next time I am at the yard. I cannot promise that seeing a rusty Mondeo with a missing floor will prove too exciting though.
