She's MINE smile Took collection of her today from Dave, after a few funny issues (long story) and I love it!

SO much different the way it drives compared to a 16vt, feels newer, more refined and even faster, the power seems to be there for longer and later in the rev range, it's so exciting and that engine note.....I think god made this engine! It's quite simply superb.

One or 2 little nitpicks, I've found a small oil drip where I park her, just my luck, will have to go on the hunt for what that is and I've noticed between gear changes it's a little laggy to pick back up, is this just me or is there a technique in keeping the power on?

Overall though, well pleased, Dave's a very genuine bloke and the car's outstanding!

Happy times smile

Oh give them time Sam there will be another sig soon!

It's incredible how much "newer" the 20vt feels on the road, totally different car!

Thanks for the tips on the oil leaks, I think it is on the driver's side, I'll have to get her in the air asap!

The sig is now done Sam, I had to lol!

Oh and here's a few quick pics I took of her today on my day of collection smile I know most of you probably know Daves old Coupe but this was after I'd touched up the stone-chipped front bumper and given her a quick once over inbetween showers.

Happy days smile

I think Dave took some too but not sure if they're up anywhere yet of me driving her away
