Hi Nigel,
Many thanks for the detailed reply which is extremely helpful.
Part of my winter plan is to get a quaife LSD fitted as the gearbox will be coming out to resolve the shifting issue.
I’m also going to invest in a set of BC Racing RM Series Coilovers, unless you or anyone has an alternative recommendation. There is custom suspension on the car now, but it’s a least 15 years old so needs a refresh. Then focus on weights and cambers.
The brakes on the car are actually really good - Alcon callipers all round - it needed some new front discs and, because of the non standard size, the cost me more than I care to remember:
I will have a look through your thread too.
Thanks again!
Andy

Those options are missing when in click through
Under UBBCode enabled the only thing is the button to add to followed threads.
Maybe it’s because my membership hasn’t gone through yet. No you should have full access to these functions...just not the technical sections yet. Have you tried using landscape mode?

Can’t work out how to add pics, the full editor doesn’t have an attachment editor that I can find, does it work on mobile?

Welcome Back BB99.
In January it would be two years since I brought my second coupe. Like you I sold my old scotty many years ago and regretted it.

Welcome back BB99! Looking forward to seeing some pictures of it - press the "use full editor" button in the reply box, and look for "attachment manager" If you were on the forum before things have changed in that in order to access the wealth of technical info, howto's etc you now have to be a fully paid up Club member.

Hi all,
After selling my green 20v turbo 15 years ago and always regretting it I have rejoined the club and have recently purchased a 1999 Portofino Blue 20v turbo on 89k.
It was off the road for a few years so needs a little tlc
This one isn’t being sold!

It would be a Fantastic re make. Although I’m sure it would not have the same heart and they’d give it an electric motor

If a bottle of poison is past it's sell by date,
Is it more poisonous than before ? The label would say 'Use by end of life'

Be aware that the camshaft whilst the same, has a slightly different lift / duration to the coupe 16v camshaft, as that engine developed 148bhp

RELIABILITY - Would it be too extreme to drive her to Spain at some point, I may consider moving there - nothing certain yet. Just wondering if this journey is advisable in a coupe or should I take it easy on her lol? She has been recently serviced and the cam belt has been done. I would be happy to do this again if there were ever a reason to do so and when I asked the seller he said perhaps just get the hoses replaced - I am more than happy to do whatever is needed to ensure she is as strong as possible - I don't want to be frightened to take her out and don't just want to leave her sitting to keep mileage low as this will naturally happen due to being a 2nd car anyway so if there is a job which is advisable but can wait - I will likely have it done anyway so any other advisors to keep her as strong as possible?
Driving in Spain would be no issue for the coupe. Depends where in Spain you would be going as well. Get the ferry from UK to either Bilbao or Santander and then set off from there. Very likely motorways will be used for most of the journey and their motorways are quiet in comparison to the UK (and the drivers know how to use the correct lanes) with only 2 lanes. I've driven from Bilbao to south Spain (Mojacar) and back twice, both times with our daughter, wife and dog on board and it is 8-9 hour drive with a single stop for petrol, albeit, I've been doing this in a 500x not a coupe but the same principal applies. Welcome too
