Expert Carbon heater panel
posted by AddictEDITOR, 26-Sep-08
  I thought it was about time to add some carbon goodness to my project MR2.   So I decided to ignore the important things, like the gearbox whine and clutch issues, and instead spunked some cash on making the interior look a little bit faster. I sit in the car for at least a few hours each day, so how could I not buy a carbon heater panel – surely this will keep me happy before shelling out for the big repair bills!         I ordered this real...


Expert Race Driver:GRID - Nintendo DS Review
posted by GameAddict, 25-Sep-08
It’s no secret that we love our games here at Motoraddicts. But sometimes finding the time to squeeze a Forza marathon into a weekend of carshows and cruising can be difficult. The solution? Take the games with you of course… Luckily for us, Firebrand Games have developed a version of Race Driver:GRID for the portable Nintendo DS. So now you won’t have to pack an Xbox and TV into your car next time you fancy a blast around Tokyo in a Supra when you’re away from...


Expert Floyd Mayweather's armoured truck
posted by LifestyleAddict, 25-Sep-08
  When you’re packing as much money as flamboyant boxer, Floyd Mayweather nothing is considered too crazy.   Check out the ride he's having built. A limo style armoured truck – can his outspoken ways have made him a little nervous? Or perhaps Manchester City fans have got him rattled after he defeated Ricky Hatton.   Speculation aside, the truck looks as if it’s going to be bigger and more luxurious than my apartment. Already in these sneak-peek shots from...


Expert Vibe Black Air 12-inch Sub
posted by ProductAddict, 24-Sep-08
  While the roar and burble from an exhaust is enough to give you tingles, you can’t help but get excited over cranking up the volume and getting that big-bass kick from your ICE install.   Here, we check out the must have sub from the audio daddies, Vibe – the Black Air 12.       The new Black Air series from Vibe is frankly tip-top. The first thing you notice is the bright yellow cone. Running a fibreglass cone gives the subwoofer a lot more...


Expert The Godfather: Honda NSX
posted by NewCarAddict, 23-Sep-08
  The Honda NSX is the daddy. In standard form it’s enough to give you motoring wood, but add a few aftermarket tweeks and you get something so damn-good it should be illegal.   Nothing comes hotter than this custom J Racing widebody version. The red and carbon Honda is traffic stopping, just check out those huge arches sitting over those staggered 18-19-inch Top Secret Gold rims. The car being held firmly in place by a set of Tein RA coilovers.     If...


Expert Tiff Needell’s Sudden Impact
posted by LifestyleAddict, 23-Sep-08
  High-speed spills are what make watching motor racing so damn exciting. Be honest, we all love seeing a Hamilton prang or Le Mans class spin out. Any slight break in concentration or minor driver error can result in some spectacular offs.   Former racing driver Tiff Needell and his fellow Fifth Gear presenter Vicki Butler-Henderson take you through some of the most spectacular motorsport wipe outs caught on tape.     Don’t just think that this DVD is limited...


Expert Death Race Review
posted by GameAddict, 22-Sep-08
Last week, Addict Editor and I took a trip to the bright lights of Central London to check out a sneak preview of the latest action film from Resident Evil director Paul Anderson: Death Race. After a frantic rush from Motoraddicts HQ into Central London, and some "specialist" map reading, we made it to a smart press-only cinema on the edge of Soho with just minutes to spare. The idea behind the new Death Race movie is as simple and brutal as the 1975 original. Set in the near...


Expert Road trippin’ JDM Allstars to Wales
posted by AddictEDITOR, 22-Sep-08
  Another weekend has rolled by and this one involved a car show, long drives and drinking as much energy drink as possible.   This time the event was JDM Allstars at Lydden Hill race circuit in Kent. The last round at Wembley stadium was insane and wet - I was expecting big things from the next instalment…     After a delayed start to the day, we finally arrived at Lydden Hill. It’s the first time I’d been there and the circuit was neat and tidy...


Expert Volvo C30 Rocks
posted by NewCarAddict, 19-Sep-08
  I can’t believe that I’ve written a headline saying that a Volvo rocks. The boxes on wheels from Sweden are more in tune with the suburbs, Labradors and those who prefer sensible motoring…A far cry from the world of Motoraddicts and everything we stand for.     That is until we spotted this ice-cold C30 on the Britishmods site. The car is owned by Sam, who lives in Belgium and this is his second C30 - his first project was sadly wiped out by a...


Expert Top Fuel S2000
posted by MotorsportAddict, 17-Sep-08
  Could this be the baddest Honda S2000 in the tuning scene?       We’ll let you be the final judge, but, the car is sitting pretty high on our wish list. As you may be aware we really dig the Honda two-seater and examples don’t come much meaner than this Time Attack ready version from the Top Fuel tuning company.       Early on in 2008, this carbon-clad S2k set a new front-engined, rear wheel-drive (FR) record on the Tsukuba Circuit,...
