I have my own business mate, so I just use my van or my girlfriends car. Liked the wheels on your car!

They are great fun to drive and work on in my opinion!! Get yourself a turbo engine banged in it! 8)

If anything goes wrong, theres always plenty of people around to help, and your in the area so contacting JJ or myself is always easy!

Long story here lol. I had an NA H reg one originally almost 3 years ago, did a turbo conversion, then driving to work 2 years ago gone december i came off the road in the bad weather and damaged the side.

I picked up a shell from bath and rebuilt the full car to what it is now.

It wasnt cost effective to repair the other one, i just broke it for spares.

I have a few bits of cosmetic work that need touching up. Engine wise I have nothing planned, I might put a different intake manifold on and do some alterations to the wastegate setup.

To be honest im really pleased with the cars performance, I have what I set out to get power wise, I have a set of braided brake lines waiting to be fitted, but apart from that no major plans for the car :D

What you got in mind for yours?
