Hey, Ive been using the forum for a while now and had a lot of help off you guys.
Thought it would be nice to introduce myself properly so here goes: Im Nathan and I live in grantham (midlands) ive owned my red 20vt for about 5 months

Brought her quite cheap as the turbo was knackered.

So far I have:

Fitted a re-con turbo with 360 thrust from midland turbos.
Cleaned all pipework, intercooler.
Replaced a few pipes that had seen better days.
Replaced nearly every hose clip.
Full service (everything apart from belts).
Cat-back powerflow exhaust
K&N filter
Gtec1
And spent hours cleaning her back to the way she should look.
Got a couple of pics but only had the phone so they are crap quality (sorry).

So anyways enough essay and er....hi smile

Now that looks nice.....
Just how I like them,spicy underneith standard on top. smile
If your not braced (top and bottom) do it sooner rather than later.It makes the handling so much better for little cash.I left it late and wasted years. cry
Do you intend to keep the body standard ?

Nathan, great looking coupe! G


It is hard to understand how a cemetery can raise burial rates and blame it on the cost of living
