Isn't that what it's all about, great friends and great memories.

That looks like a nice one Nic, congrats.

Please map my Porsche

I can't grumble CJ, how goes it your end?

In what way chief?

I'm not on here as much these days, but from my brief visits back it generally feels as friendly and helpful as it used to be. As for the lack of responses on the MR2 forums, I wouldn't read too much into that. You have the benefit of being a very popular and likeable member on here which seems to lubricate the reply button. Starting as a newbie on other forums always seems to be slow on the reply front, well for me it does. Hell, I still get threads with no responses on forums I'm popular on.... hmmm maybe I am just a James Hunt then lol. Such is life.

Very nice! Congratulations.

Congrats on the purchase, glad you like it. Plenty of indie's listed over on the owners register that can help you out with servicing.....and temp you onto the mod's slide ;-)

The GTR, it's one of those cars you need to own/experience at least once in your lifetime. Not detracting from the Audi, nice car and all, but the GTR has that little something special. Not quite, the 911 Turbo is cheaper to run and maintain: 20k miles or bi yearly service schedule and far, far better on fuel than the GTR - it just drinks it!. It's all academic anyway as there's so many alternatives for maintenance and replacement parts on the GTR that main dealer prices become a mute point. I don't know about financing one though, that would make my corn-hole itch they way they are shedding money at the mo.

Wouldn't mind him as your taxi driver. Nice soundtrack too.

I've got a head with less than 1500 miles from new with a borked port and valve seat job that 'I think' has all the cam caps if it's any good to you.

Liking the slider work in part 1:thumbs: What lens did you use for the most part in that piece?

Bublebox.com (featured on the gadget show) and Parcel2go.com are two other companies that allow you to rent a US mailing address and forward on.

Has anyone got ay experience with mail forwarding companies like shipito.com ? Might be worth a bash.

I can't grumble bud. What about your good self?

Had mine since 97...no wait, that's my Golf. I'll get my coat:blush:

Best of luck with it all Matt, very envious of you.

16V conversion is apparently easy but not a major power gain As you've mentioned, easiest and cheapest conversion if you like to scream the nuts off an engine to get the best out of it. 20V Turbo engine is very popular and delivers good power? Best all round choice out of all the engine conversions IMO. Light, reliable, easily tuneable and readily available. VR6 is very good power gain but is very heavy and a difficult job? Great engine with a lovely sound and plenty of grunt, but too heavy and totally ruins the handling on a MK1 - It sure ruined it on both the MK2's I converted. G60 Supercharged again seems popular? Again, much like the 16V conversion, the G60 is a relatively easy one and light enough not to spoil the MK1 in the corners department. But the G-Ladder chargers can be 'fussy' at any sort of decent boost if not maintained and built properly, and specialists for them are thin on the ground. Here's a what a 20V turbo looks like in an MK1 that Awesome GTI did. http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/images/mk1tt3.jpg

In for updates. Nice to see more options being worked on, specially by a UK outfit. Really needs a thread over on GTROC though, as I hear there's a few GTR owners over there :-)

Bit of a resurrection. I produced a limited run of 20 headlight intakes back in the Vortex Power days to see how they would sell, very slowly as it turned out. I believe there was talk of some plagiarist copies being made available by a UK trader, so it might be worth having a chat with them. Failing that, there might be a very slim chance that I could locate the tooling or have one sitting spare.

No, but he's probably looking for girls on TV for the same reason Gavin Henson is doing it.

That's a shame, it would have been good to see you put a lot of the exotica to shame

Hope it all goes well CJ, sooner the better too.

What's happening with Vmax?
