RYAN TOVEY’SMAZDA3 MPS

FC says:6JKUKUQPGJKIJN[URGEEoF/C\FC
MPS – so much so that we only had room
for half the spec! Although the whole car has

carbon centre console, Ryan has spent most
of his time and money under the bonnet.
It’s now boasting some seriously impressive

and BNR4 blower that helps deliver 420bhp

that’s what’s known as, a lot.

performance in mind; everything has been

ditched in an effort to save weight, he’s even

swapped out the original seats for a set of

Corbeau buckets. We can only see this car

developing further and Ryan reckons it won’t

be long until he breaks the 500bhp barrier.

ATTILA NAGY’SBMW E30

FC says: We think you’ll agree that loving the E30-

shape BMW 3-Series is embedded in every petrolhead’s

DNA. It’s why it’s always a pleasure to see a well-treated

lines in 2019.

“It’s a Nautic Grun colour, which I think is pretty rare

these days in the UK,” Attila ponders as we ogle over

his stunning coupé that’s been treated to a few reserved

upgrades over the years.

The body mods revolve around that M3 Evo-style

TGCTURQKNGTEQORNGVGYKVJKVUWRYCTFHCEKPI)WTPG[ƃCR

that adds a little more aggression to the whole package.

There’s also a set of period-perfect Japan Racing multi-

spoke alloys, with the car sitting slightly lower on some

new springs to offer up a tidy stance.

Inside, some black leather Honda S2000 seats take

pride of place up front due to the original cloth jobbies

falling beyond repair over time. “I’d love to show

everyone how clean she is!” Attila smiles.

Well, you don’t need to ask us twice, mate!

Ryan’s MPS boasts 420bhp

Attila loves to keep his E30 cleaner than
