Default Hi there

Hi there, seen a link to this website and thought I'd drop by and say hi. I'm living in Portsmouth (but I'm scottish ) and I'm a bit car mad! More into performance and handling than fancy bodykits (but each to their own!) and I drive a tweaked vx220 turbo. Anybody else on the south coast ?

Hi Colgy - really nice to have you along. I think most of us here prefer Power over Style although it is nice to have both. Your car looks good - what you done to it?

Thanks, so far its just been a few bits and bobs, like blacking out the windscreen surround, wheels and fuel cap. I've got new pads (as the oe were near suicidal!). Power wise, its a Thorney stage 2 giving 240bhp/240lbft at the flywheel, giving about 260bhp/ton. Fitting new suspension this week too! Next Modifications after that will be harnesses hopefully

I bet that is a monster - have you got any drag times/track stats with it yet?

Its nippy - I haven't taken it up the strip yet, maybe high 12's? I think thats what other people have achieved although that may have been with semi-slicks.
