hi all,im new.

[sussex_gti]

just thought id introduce myself,im chris,22,from hastings.currently driving an almera gti,am hoping to get more information on here about cams/throttle bodies etc.and talk to people who dont go on about bodykits,massive wheels and speakers all the time. i like things that make me go faster,handle better,and stop better.heres a brief rundown of spec,and a few pics. ive also got an ax gti as a toy,gonna be stripped,lowered,and maybe a vts engine....excuse all the pics,im sure most of you wont like an old grandad almera,but im really happy with how its become,and is a hoot to drive!

greenstuff are quite highly rated on the owners club,havent found them to be a problem,but there getting low now,and arnt as good,so will be upgrading to redstuff.unless anyone has a spare set of fto calipers,and clio cup discs......steering wheel was free,and is great to use,although id rather it black.oh well!

[sussex_gti]

good pads? any good dealers you know of? was thinking maybe mintex.choices choices!

[sussex_gti]

not understanding where everyones going on this sleeper business!

[sussex_gti]

yes,my exact definition of a sleeper. i love the fact that people have no idea what my car is,what engine it has etc.i must admit i have my eye on a bit of 'show' at the moment.but who can say no to a nissan motorsport europe magnesium cam cover?
