The old nail....
Discussion
This here's my GTO Twin Turbo....
It's a 1991 Mk.1, and externally has been treated to a set of 18" Mania Vortex's, '99 spec sail panels and rear centre panel. Don't believe the picture - the paint (original, just heavily 'weathered') is a 10 foot job - looks good (ish) from 10ft away, just don't go any closer......
More importantly.....
Dyno'd Dec '06 at 288bhp & 312lb.ft/t, since then it has been treated to an Evil Empire high-flow fuel rail link, Evil Empire short-shift kit, Forge atmospheric BOV, Magnecor KV85 leads, NGK copper plugs, and most recently a custom decat stainless exhaust built by GTO/3000GT specialists Sumiyaka:
It's a straight-through system built from T316L stainless (pipework) and T308 (silencer), TiG welded together. No crappy Powerloss exhausts here!
Future plans revolve around a MAP-ECU2 to get rid of the old MAF system and to be able to tune the car for any future modifications. A '99 spec conversion like the car below is also in the pipeline:
Some more pictures - I also like photography so the car is a good practice object....
How it originally looked.
An empty M5, 7.30am on a Sunday morning..... the ideal time to have a blat with a couple of mates.... 8-)
At the rolling road last year... must beat the numbers when I visit again....
My two previous GTO's:
1991 N/A auto:
1992 Twin Turbo:
Cheers
Some much better pics on the way soon, got some more little mods to add then i'll find a nice location to take some decent pics!

Thanks for the comments chaps 
Vixpy - i'll be getting mine from Sumiyaka ( www.sumiyaka.co.uk )- it's great living half an hour away from them. Not so great for the state of my bank account though.....
