this was a car i bought 5 years ago, i cosmetically modified the car as it was my day to day car, and i always had the desire to fit a 20vt turbo coupe engine. For the last 2 1/2 years the car has been stored while i bought drove and modifed my coupe. Now with more experience, space, time, and money i can finally begin to see the dream come true. Primarily the car is going to be used as a weekend/track car.
As the car is being converted from the subframe up i want to ensure the backbone of the car is suitable for the task intended, i'm going for a good balance between handing, brakes and of course power
its taken 12 months of evenings and weekends, but parts sourcing was the biggest time factor.
All the hard work is done, time to get it on a track
Big thanks to NB Autos, FC performance, Midland Car Servicing, and many people on FCCUK
