As the owner of a 45 I would love to see this

[fathead431]

In my eyes, a V12 roof chopped rover 45 2 door coupe is a perfectly sensible daily driver for a university student.

Thanks for the information, see you in about 2 years and six to eight payday and logbook loans.

LexSpace - firstly, your project is bonkers but highly impressive.

Secondly, I own an LS400 and would like to install a nitrous kit. Looking at some basic videos online it looks like a single nozzle dry fogger will be the simplest option to fit. However from looking at your photos from earlier it appears you have used a wet fogger system, I'm guessing this is more practical because the ECM should not need reprogramming to supply the extra fuel? Any pointers/tips on your setup and details of the kit purchased would be much appreciated.

Hi, thanks , I chose the Wizards of nos wet single injector kit (150i if I remember correctly) because of the very good value and simplicity of fit compared to multipoint and as you say doesn't need reprogramming as its a standalone kit . I purchased my kit from powerhouse in Sheffield - who I now believe have moved to Chesterfield and we're very helpful

Laughing out loud at this sentence- , my advice from personal experience would be - don't start it in the first place !!
But seriously - I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to read about it .

Been here over the past week with work .....



Sadly not in my car but it has re-inspired me to get cracking on so in 12 months time I can be there again , but this time driving it .

I've been to Le Mans a couple of times before with work but never around 24h time of year - WOW , what an enormous event it is going to be , in my opinion it is a far superior spectacle and set-up compared to F1 and undeniably far better racing

Whilst driving though Le Mans I noticed a lexus dealer and then on the same road no more than 1 km away was a Renault dealer - surely that's a sign that it's meant to go there and I should be covered if I have any issues !!

And some typically unkind, negative and dismissive comments from some people. I'd like to see them do better.

James, it'll probably have to go through IVA and some points-based thing, but I'd think it'll go down as what the chassis is - an LS400. Should confuse the hell out of more than a few of Her Majesty's traffic police...

[catfood12]

Was the Lexspace being ragged along the A35 west this morning past Bridport and Honiton ? There was a pimped looking silver Espace just too many cars ahead, and I couldn't catch it... In a Cayenne Diesel S...
