Expert Extraordinary Impreza build - pt 1
posted by AddictEDITOR, Wednesday
  By now you're probably familiar with the Project Fat Boy blogs, in which MA user Carl is modding his Nissan Pulsar. Well we've lined up another home-grown racer conversion, and it's an epic WRX Sti build. Started over six years ago and finally nearing completion it's been a labour of love that will produce an insane 650bhp track monster.   As RandyandMichelle has been doing with his Mustang overhaul I’m going to bring you the updates through a series of blogs as it’s...


Expert McLaren Dodge Viper
posted by NewCarAddict, Wednesday
  If you fancy something truly unique sitting in your garage, then get your credit card out for the McLaren tuned Dodge Viper Diamonback that’s up for grabs at a mere $295,000.   This venom producing ride has a bite that would knock down a concrete rhino. It produces a massive 615hp from its McLaren engine and decimates the 60mph boundary in 3.5 seconds – that's 0.4 seconds faster than the Dodge Viper SRT-10.   Driving this car would be the filthiest fun you can...


Expert N-Spec Evo X
posted by ProductAddict, Tuesday
  It’s no secret that I’m a bigger fan of Mitsubishi’s Evo X than the new Impreza. However, the debate on which of the two cars is better will continue to rage on car forums across the superhighway.   But if you do favour the new Evo, then the following images will no doubt confirm your opinion, and sock it to those Impreza fans.   Japanese tuner Ings+1 has made an aero kit for the X inspired by its own racing version.   Finished in JDM white, it...


Expert Wheely good D1R
posted by ProductAddict, Tuesday
  These latest rims look fresher than a Girls Aloud bubble bath, but that's not all they have going for them. Fasten your seat belts and hold tight as we check out the D1R by Lenso.   At 7.9kg per-corner, these motorsport derived rims are lighter than a prawn cracker and having been designed for the Japanese drift series, these five-spokes should take any abuse street or track day fun can throw at them.   The latest Lenso rims are available in white and black, 8 x 17, 8 x...


Expert Project fat boy continues to expand
posted by AddictEDITOR, Monday
  Since Carl’s wide arch pulsar arrived back from the bodyshop, it has been all-hands-to-the-deck as the project gains momentum and the curves start to fill out in all the right places.   The car's girth would give Rick Waller a run for his money and has really taken shape, unlike the tubby popstar. The last time we visited the Nissan, the carbon bonnet had just been fitted and it was waiting for the front wings to be bolted on.   Wings in place, the car is looking...


Expert Back in the saddle
posted by EventAddict, Monday
  With the festive holidays over you may, like me, feel slightly happier now that the hangovers have worn off and the endless wrapping and unwrapping of presents has drawn to a close.   It’s the first day back in the grind for us here at Motoraddicts, and while we’re itching to unleash a thousand words onto your screens, the following pictures speak for themselves.   This all-white car meet in Japan is cooler than a bikini party at the Playboy mansion. I’d...


Expert Will I Am rolls out his Tesla
posted by AddictEDITOR, 02-Jan-09
  The daddies of celebrity whips, Platinum Motorsport had their pop-tastic mate Will I Am from the Black Eyed Peas drop by and deliver his mega green, zero emissions, fast as feck Project Tesla.   One of only 100 ever made, it’s a big deal for any tuning firm to get to grips with one of these badboys. While it’s an honour for Platinum I’m really interested in seeing the end result and what the firm has in store for this Lotus based...


Expert Wangan run movie remake (again)
posted by AddictEDITOR, 26-Dec-08
  If you dig anime then you’ll know all about Wangan run, if you don’t, think fast cars and underground street racing on Tokyo’s Shuto Expressway.   Starting life as an anime series, the popularity that followed saw several film remakes and even video games. Now there is another remake that is set to accelerate onto the silver screens.   The lead car, as in the anime version, is a slick midnight blue 240Z and these sneak shots are getting car forums lit up...


Expert Merry Christmas
posted by AddictEDITOR, 24-Dec-08
A massive Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from every one on the Motoraddicts team. This year has seen our membership levels rise to great new heights and we’ve seen some great new addicts appearing on the site making it an exciting place for us to return to in 2009. Not forgetting the regular guys who we’ve also got to thank for making all the newbies feel welcome.   I hope to see Randy’s Mustang on the road in the New Year and hear more stories from our regular...


Expert Wii know no limits
posted by AddictEDITOR, 23-Dec-08
  It seems the Nintendo Wii is taking over the world. Not only is the console entertaining kids around the globe, it’s also helping the chubby crowd get into shape with its Wii Fit game.   Now the world of Wii is getting used in the car tuning circles. Some clever boffin has made a programme that will allow you to measure your car's performance using the 3-axis accelerometers in your bulk-standard Wii remote.   Strap a Wii remote to your whip and the homemade computer...
