Hello, all!

Long time member here, some of you old timers may remember me from back in the day.

I left the UK in 2011 having owned a couple FC's in Europe. I'm now on my 2nd FC on another continent. I live in Colorado now, no regrets.

The current is a 88 GTU. So it started life as a non-turbo, it's primary purpose is my track car but I (just about) keep it street legal.

2025 plans include swapping the turbo drivetrain w/ new clutch & flywheel, vented D-max style hood (needs more cooling on track) IGN1A coils and I've got a bolt in roll bar/cage and OMP harness to fit. I need some more camber and I may try to get some wider rubber out back, front is pretty maxed with the 255/40/17 on the 17x9 +30 wheel.
