Well, after months possibly years of harassment :shoot: from one of the mighty Admin on here (Hello Franza :p ) I've finally given in and gotten myself an account on here. Maybe it was payback for me (apparently) harassing him to buy a Glanza? :haha:

Currently driving a sensible Laguna Estate for practicality and economy, but don't worry, there's some lunacy on the driveway too in the shape of my wife's Sunny GTI-R and our Sunny GTI-R too. Oh and in case you're confused, no they're not the same car - hers is Black and ours is Ivory. :rockon: We also have a yellow Golf GTI, but thats the wife's previous car so is now up for sale.

Both the Laguna and Black GTI-R are only recent additions in the past few weeks. Have a little work to do on the Sunny to get it ready for its NCT, and then will probably transfer some of the tastier parts from the Ivory car to the Black one since its going to be her daily driver.

Dunno what else to say really. Know Franza a few years from having worked with him.

I'll do a spec in a bit alright, puppy is beginning to slow at this stage after an hours madness. To summarise before though - Ivory 0bhp. Currently not running. Long long story but in brief - rebuilt engine and only made 234bhp. Black one - pretty standard so probably around the standard 220bhp. Give me a month or so though and I hope to have about 250-260bhp out of the Black one.
