If you follow us on Instagram (@starlikeuk), you’ll probably have seen there’s a few of the Starlike crew that drive Ford Focus RS MK1’s. We love the platform, they’re light, fun and easily responsive to tuning. One of these cars is owned by James, someone I met when choosing suspension for my RS, since at… Read More Putting some bite into an RS with Sabre
As it seems the season is reaching its close once again, we make the most the last of the decent weather and head to sunny Silverstone again for an event arranged by PistonHeads. A mixture of supercars, modified rides and track tools came out as usual to rub shoulders and flex their muscles. The 991… Read More Goodbye Summer, hello off season
First of all, I’ll readily admit that I’m not normally into the ‘stance’ side of cars, I can appreciate them and how great they look sat still, but I normally favour function over form to some extent. With the show season coming to a close and the autumn colours beginning to show, I thought, what… Read More Here’s one for the Players
We’re living in a time where Porsche’s classic 911 designs are in such high demand that prices have skyrocketed, but what do you do if you have enough money to have what many consider to be a modernised version of a classic 911? You call Singer of course. Singer’s cars aren’t a new thing to… Read More Singer and Williams team up for bespoke engines
If there’s ever a kind of motorsport that embraces the tuner car culture, it’s time attack events. Teams and individuals pushing their beasts to the limit in the name of shaving tenths, hundredths or even thousandths from their lap times. Because of this, it makes perfect sense to twin Tunerfest with UK time attack at… Read More Tuner car heaven at UK Time attack
The British weather has been…interesting to say the least recently so the start of the car season has been a bit stop start for us. I’m happy to say though that my first BoostedUK meet was a brilliant one. The guys have stepped their game up in terms of organisation now, which I was really… Read More 2017’s first real outing with BoostedUK
These days performance cars are very rarely mentioned without some digits in the same sentence. You’d think BHP or torque figures, even 0-60 times. Well, you’d think wrong, more often than not, manufacturers seem to measure their stock against a single lap of the Nurburgring. We’ve seen the controversy over hyper cars such as the… Read More Rising sun vs Green hell – Honda reign at the ‘ring
The last Pistonheads Sunday service was such a great day with a wide variation of cars, when we saw 2017’s first one pop up, we had to go! Unfortunately the weather wasn’t so great, but regardless of this, lots of interesting cars made the trip out. I’m a fan of the M2, but sometimes in… Read More Coverage: Pistonheads Sunday Service March 2017
Normally we don’t post news as such, so I’ll try and keep it biased and opinionated. RUF have failed to build a car, but succeeded in building a fighter jet. It’s being shown off at the Geneva motor show today, 30 years after the legendary CTR ‘Yellow Bird’. On the outside, it looks like a restored… Read More RUF CTR is just a little bit mental
After hearing that the London classic car show was on just 30 minute from me at the Excel centre in London, I decided to kill some time on a Saturday morning. I thought it would be a good idea to head up there early as the weekends at these kinds of shows are always busy,… Read More London Classic Car Show 2017
