Now the proud owner of proccys(also patch's too?) ex yellow turbo as of yesterday.
i did get abit of a bargain if i must say so, it drove perfect on the way back for the 80 mile journey home.
It currently has the gtec chip installed which probably puts it out around 230-240bhp, but id prefer to put the original chip back in it, run it standard for the time being, until flea gets his hands on it.
oil pressure is also good, so the paranoia wont kick in just yet wink.
Suprisingly it rides rather well on the 18" wheels, but that could be down to the FCSS springs
havent really got many day light photos of it just yet, but im sure you all know what it looks.
ill certainly be up to some meets with the coop, its also nice to know its more a forum car than anything else.

Sat on the drive last night.

That's a nice example, yes I did own it, it looked great with 20VT alloys in satin black! Enjoy and congratulations smile

When I owned it the engine bay was a lot cleaner - Proccy!!! Hahaha

Well done Chris, take it easy on those new discs and pads rolleyes

I even left the chrome dial rings on, i'm far too generous for my own good. I hope you have as much pleasure and excitement out of Coupés that i have, but without the dramas...........

Nice comment about the oil pressure too, there are always disbelievers and people who know best but the oil and filter change last week did it good too.

Enjoy mate.......... cool

This is a seriously nice car to drive - he let me drive it when we got home from picking it up!

The clutch is as light as a feather, gears smooth and the ride was lovely (FCSS springs)

I've now decided I need to get my clutch replaced and gearbox oil changed!!

Proccy/Steve - you left a lot of fuel in the car wink

Welcome to the 20vt club brother! laugh


P.S the idle is normal resulting in even higher oil pressure now it has the original chip in it.
