Alice Hewson - 1996 Mitsubishi Evolution iv

---

I'm Alice from Manchester and this is my 1996 Mitsubishi Evolution IV. I've owned the car for roughly three years now but it was imported in 2008. Evo IV has always been my dream car and after finding it during COVID I couldn't resist! Slowly making my way through the car making it my own and loving every moment and can't wait to get stuck in properly with the underside protection. Can't wait for car season this year with my ExtremeBHP family and get the camera out to events to continue taking pictures of all your pride and joys at extreme meets and shows.

 I’m Matt from Cheshire and Here’s my focus st225, currently running 340bhp, long list of mods including 

- Fully powder coated and polybushed underside

- 356mm big brake kit

- Roll cage with 5 point harnesses 

this car was completely standard when I purchased it 6 years ago and has been a long slow process to get it where it is today, mainly because I always change my mind on what I want! Projects are never finished anyway, are they?! 

RICK CROSS FABIA VRS 1.4TSI

I bought the car in 2015 and immediately set about the modifications, swapping a lot over from my old car that i had to upgrade due to needing a bigger boot. The idea was always to build the car for straight lines and ultimately to succeed at Santa Pod, the car has currently won the last 4 classes at the events it has attended and now I have moved up a class due to the stroker kit and hope to do well there again. The current fastest time it has achieved is 12.02 at pod. 

Forged engine

- 1.6 stroker kit

- port and polished head

- Rtmg upgraded injectors

- Rtmg 380rs turbo with external wastegate and screamer pipe. 

- Rtmg kevlar clutch. 

- Rtmg intake

Originally handed down in bone stock and ropey form From my mum. I got this A3 on the road in late 2019 after my Corsa (you've all seen and laughed at it I did too) finally fell apart for the last time. Since then. I've lowered Earl on 60mm springs all-round. For a while it had some 17" Toyota TTE grandstands on (really enjoyed this look) it then got a full respray in its factory colour (so many choices of colours. But it's called earl cause it's grey (blame my tism for the lack of adventure here ) had an S3 rear bumper (£20 bargain) fitted. Then over time got new hubs when the wheel bearings went. It came with the brake setup free. So on they with a freshen up of the callipers and new pads. Then some misfortune happened to the car. But not long after my dream set of wheels in a spec I didn't know existed appeared for sale. Snapped them up got them on the car. And now here we are. Earl is almost exactly where I want him.

Future planned mods?

-A Projectztwo front bumper and rear bumper.

-Restore the interior (everything's abit tatty now) 

-Maybe a 2piece sump

-Possibly ABIT  for more power

Spec

-1.9tdi 110 ve (none pd)

-Full Alcantara interior.

-Factory Double din with factory hidden subwoofer

-Mineral grey (Ly7k)

-Factory Privacy Glass.

Modifications

-Coilovers (60mm lowered for now)

-18x8 Tsw venoms fitted

-312mm front brake setup.

-TT hubs (to allow the car to have less bumpsteer)

Hi I'm Laura, 33 from Morecambe. 

Mum of a little car crazy 5 year old.

This is my 2013 ford focus St3, I've owned her since July 2024. Always owned German cars, so this is my first ever ford... so far she's done me well. Currents mods she's had is

▪︎ Stage 2 map at dreamscience 285bhp

▪︎ KMS turbo back exhaust system

▪︎ Airtec Stage 3 intercooler

▪︎ Mishimoto cross over pipe and filter with RS air box

▪︎ RS clutch & flywheel 

▪︎ Power flex engine and gear box mounts 

▪︎ Lowered 35mm

Future plans would be to upgrade my current alloys, potentially add splitter and side skirts. 

Can't wait to be part of the ExtremeBHP family, making memories within the car scene 

  My name is Rob Porter. This is my Vauxhall Corsa VXR E in red. I've owned the car for 8 years. I'm hoping to get it wrapped in the near future. I've just had the alloys sprayed in white from being gunmetal grey. It's stage 1 tuned at 240BHP and planning on getting bigger intercooler, better induction kit etc then planning on getting it tuned more. Straight through exhaust decatted. Fitted  a Maxton front splitter, Maxton side splitters and Maxton spoiler extension. Then hopefully many more upgrades to come.

 I'm Mick the BHP nun and this is my Cupra leon mk4. I've had this from new it's pushing over 300bhp and over 400nm I've had a custom exhaust put on and a full maxton kit on my future plans is to get it mapped, air intake and a full wrap possible new wheels 

 Oh Hi, I’m James (ThatVXRGuy) you may have seen through social media , I’m based in the north west and have a passion for old Vauxhalls - pretty much anything that’s loud,fast and clean I’m game!! I have an obsession with detailing my car on weekends! So if you see my burg on the road during the week and it’s dirty It’s because it’s been raining

The good the bad and the ugly.

Just under 2 years ago after a long time looking for the right one I managed to purchase an Astra H Vxr Nürburgring edition 1 of 835 made in the world and currently only around 290 left (a future classic maybe?)

I knew when I looked at the car it wasn’t in the best shape! As I this is what I wanted so I could make it feel and look how I needed, I drove 250miles home with snapped suspension, missing gearbox mount, loose exhaust brackets, snapped engine mounts and heavily scratched and misaligned body panels and Under 1mm tread on tires in -2 weather in pitch black (honestly what could of gone wrong) But I knew it had potential after RnD motorsport had there hands on with some mapping an engine work I had seen the light!

Fast forward two years, with 90% of the cosmetic work and most mechanically work done myself with help from family and friends too! It’s now looking even better than it came from the show room with me cutting back the paint work and re-polishing to get the finish I wanted with out damaging the paint this is how it currently stands and the paint work really does pop in the glorious uk weather! It’s not just a good looking car either I’ve been the Nürburgring this year and gets drove quite a bit (they are there to be enjoyed)

Mod list
I know a few Vauxhall heads will appreciate the car and some upgrades which currently stand on the burg!

•300HP & 350 IB-FT
•quifee Limited Slip Differential
•3 inch piper down-pipe and midsection
•Remus back box
•Airtec Stage 2 Intercooler
•uprated idler pullers
•short shifter
•mtech grilled and grooved pads
•Airtec full hard pipes
•Eds Top hat
•custom halo RGB lights

•white line anti roll bar
•full JS performance coolant hoses
•Courtney motorsport air box shield
•forge recirculation valve
And all the other fun stuff like launch control flame maps and bang on the gear shifts to make you feel like you’re 18 again!

What’s the future hold for the burg you say?

A few things come to mind next year that I am looking into currently for the burg, which will most likely be to forge the engine with a nice krs stage 3 turbo and also be putting on air ride with a custom sound system to pair with the tank in the boot.

Thanks for reading my bio and hope to see you at the shows in future 

Callum 29 from Morecambe. This is my st2 which I've owned nearly 3 years (yes, I'm on first name terms with the fuel station attendants). I work on big gas generator engines to fund this money pit and Love competing in night rally events in my French tin 106 quicksilver.

 Hi, I’m Matthew “Loud” Hicks, and this is my Audi 4.2 Litre B8 V8.
I’ve had an affinity for cars ever since I was a child, with the likes of the Toyota MR2 and Peugeot 205GTI posters plastered all over my bedroom walls. Maybe the odd Cindy Crawford one too, but mostly just cars!!

Have always wanted a naturally aspirated V8 and found the S5 to be not as common as your typical V8’s (I.e. C63 AMG), with the added benefit of all wheel drive and this model in particular an “Audi Exclusive” range so 1 of 1, in Merlaggo Blue.

These cars aren’t overly mappable however I’ve done the following since purchase:

- Full RS body kit (splitter, side skirts, steering wheel and gearstick with a Maxton Design diffuser)
- 034Motorsport upgraded inlet hose
- K&N Air Filter
- Straight piped
- Lowered on coilovers with 20” Le Mans alloys
- Upgraded ignition coils and spark plugs

I really enjoy tinkering with cars, understanding how they work, and maintain the servicing predominantly myself

Recently dyno’d at 330BHP (factory was 354) and 450NM torque, which is the perfect balance between performance, and comfort for me..
Besides, it’s a Quattro so it shifts!  

I'm Reece from Manchester and here is my 2014 Fiesta ST. I bought it in November 2023 after going for something a bit easier to run as I previously ran an M235i. 

Some people may recognise my private plate, its now made it onto its 5th Fiesta ST believe it or not……some people say I have a problem ha! 

I don't really plan on doing much to it for a while just aesthetics and maintenance bits instead before pushing power etc. Eventually, id like to put the turbo on it that I previously ran on one of my old ST’s pushing it up to 300hp, AET’s V1 Hybrid or go for Revo’s RT330R to make it a perfect all round daily. Safe to say this one is here to stay!

 Hi my names Martyn 35 from Skelmersdale (someone has to be). I have a 2006 BMW 320d e91 se touring I have had this car 9 months now not really done much performance mods as of yet looking too get the visualisation the car done first and be happy with that then on too the performance mods I don't like to stick with  the usual I like to be different. 

Mk1 fabia vrs 1.9tdi   At the moment is a pretty standard pd130 fabia vrs, has a stage 1 remap which makes 175bhp lowered on 40mm vogtland springs  Future plans with it will be to get a hybrid turbo, front mount intercooler all the usual jazz with these engines which will hopefully take it to the 250bhp mark.
