Hi, just joint up but been reading PistonHeads and this forum for years. Never joint up before as the best car I had owned before yesterday was a 1.8 Si Ford Escort (its was partially stripped out inside with a good braking and suspension upgrades though). Anyway, I picked this up yesterday and smiled all the way home. Have been in Australia driving an automatic Commodore for the past 9 months so got to get back used to using a clutch, especially because this car has a new one and a lighten flywheel).  I will get some more photos up once I have had time to give it a good clean, polish and wax. I will also get some details up soon about whats been done to it.

Looks cool on those wheels, are they Speedlines? Gives it a nice, business-like stance, and I agree they go like stink and handle nicely too! Welcome

Absolutely lovely I saw this on 306gti6.com - looks brilliant with the comps. Even makes the manstone paint look almost manly.

Avo coilovers
Upper OMP strut brace
Lower custom strut brace
Lightened flywheel and full pully kit
Roller bearing wishbone bush
Custom droplinks
Hybrid rear ARB

Goodridge rear braided lines
Willwood 4 pots with modified rallydesign brackets to accept standard discs with dDS2500 and exact braided lines

Previous owner had it rolling roaded about a month ago and it made 171bhp, so just up from when new. Always refereshing to see someone who has concentrated on the handling/brakes rather than just throwing money at the engine and then worrying about the stopping and going round corners later Nice looking Pug btw

Coopers old car? I made the droplinks and strut brace for that a few months back, that's the first prototype low-profile one - might be a collectable that

Aye, it nearly had my brake brackets on too but I'd only got one spare (bit of an oversight there, not sure what I was intending to do with one...)

Wheels and brakes really make this car. Although going to repaint the red rear callipers to something darker. Engine bay needs a hell of a clean and hopefully some paint and colour coding.
