Japanese Cars and Car Modifications

Mike Brewer There’s something about fast Japanese cars that really turns me on! Don’t get me wrong I’m not about to start wearing my baseball cap backwards and listening to Snoop Dawg sing the virtues of the fast and the furious, but a saloon car with big bolt on bits and massive alloys sitting on rubber band tires floats my boat.

Xenon Headlamp Conversion - A Very Easy Car Modification

HID-lamps This week I’m fitting something that is not only a good style modification, it’s also a good safety modification.

The thing I’m talking about is a xenon headlamp or HID lamps as they are also known.

If you're wondering what they are they are the bluey-white headlights you see on the likes of BMWs and Mercedes coming towards you.

There are kits that allow you to fit these to any car so you can have that look of a more expensive car on older or cheaper cars. And they really are better, too.

A Unique Conversion - an RS Turbo Mini

Mini I’m thinking of building a small car with a big engine and I’m trying to think of something that hasn’t been done before. Mini V8s have been done many times, along with Smart Cars with motorbike engines. But one thing I haven’t seen is a Geewiz with a huge engine yet. Mind you, if I was to put a V8 in one, I bet there'd be a few complaints from people: this is meant to be a ‘green car’, after all, I suppose!
