    hostagekilla's rover turbo.

    I got bored, so I thought I'd start a thread about my 600turbo and what I've done to it so far.

    It's a lot faster than it looks and will show a clean pair of heels to a lot of " so called " fast cars!.

    I know what your thinking, " it's still a boring old mans car " but just humour me ok Stick out tongue.

    So here we go with a few pics of the old girl.

    I've left it more or less standard on the outside cos I love the whole street sleeper thing!!. Since those pics were taken I've added a few touches to it for now,like a boost gauge/ some led washer jets/ some powerful led lights hidden in the grill/ meshed the grill/ tinted the tail lights/ had the wheels refurbed/ had a powerflow exhaust and cat bypass pipe fitted/  fitted a shroom filter and relocated it down by the front bumper for max cold air/ fitted a cold air feed in the front bumper/ fitted a novelty Arooogah horn lol/ fitted black neons in the footwells and finally fitted a half decent sterio n sub setup.

     here's a few pics of some of those.

    Since then I've upgraded me sub and blown two of those FLI amps to bits lol. They light up and look really smart, but they're SHIT " trust me don't get one!!! ". So since then, as well as fitting  power capacitor I've gone for an Alpine mono amp to power the sub and a mac amp to power me kenwoods on the back shelf.

    And thats just about it for now. In the pipeline for the future, I'm gonna get her lowered, cos she's crying out for it innit lol. Fit some clear side repeaters, get the cloth half of me seats retrimmed in white leather and turn the boost up a bit.

    And thats it really.

    Feel free to take the piss lol.

    Cheers for looking

    Dave.

    Re: hostagekilla's rover turbo.

    LOL, I'm gonna wait til it gets rusty before I rat it.

    I know I could have done better, but I'm only a novice at this modding mullarky and everyone has to start somewhere innit.

    Anyway thanks for being honest mateYes.

    I'll have a decent ride one day lol, but until then 200+ bhp puts a smile on my face everytime, old sheds FTWYes

    guernsey mate, it's a good island with  a fairly big modifying scene trouble is body shops an that aren't too good so we have to send cars  to england alot or buy em from over your end, bit annoying but there's not much else to do over here so it's all cool.

    Re: hostagekilla's rover turbo.

    Quick little update on me land barge lol.

    Got bored of 8 psi, so I've fitted a manual boost controller and wapped the boost up to 12 psi.

    It pulled like a train anyway, but now it takes off like a scalded cat lol. Mmmmm torque steerBig Smile

    I've been warned not to spank it in first and second though!!, something about melting pistons and steel caged bearings in me gearbox getting poorly lol.

    And thats it for the noo ; )

    I know, it has no bearing on the topic at hand, but who cares? It needed to be said
