Mildly excited! :)

Well I'm coming back for a 3rd time running but this time 20vt style!

I went to see Blue20vt's Sprinty today and I loved it so grabbed at it there and then and hopefully pick it up this weekend or early next week.

So that's 2 16vt's and now a 20vt, can't wait to see what the difference is liking finally owning one as I've always wanted a Sprinty 20vt just never been able to insure one!

Roll on the weekend

Good work

A 20vt in the best colour

Am sure you will have a huge amount of enjoyment from it.

Even being taken up and down the road this unstoppable grin appeared when I felt the surge of power and that 5 cylinder howl in full swing...ergh *dribbles*

Welcome to Club 20vt.

Welcome back

Ah Theresa it was your sig that made me want a Sprinty 20vt with black wheels in the first place!

Our cars are going to look somewhat similar!

Thanks for the welcome backs all

Blimey, a blast from the past

Welcome back, again

Oh shhh yourself

Hehe sorry Truffle if it's any good to you there's another nice cheap silver 20vt with the same mileage on Pistonheads in Herts?

Oh and Hello Joe lol!

it was a steal at that price mate, its looking lovely. I some times wish i had wated a little longer for something like that to come along!
Any how welcome back!! (what happened to the mondeo?)

Mondeo was short-lived like the job and I got back into doing design so can afford something a little nicer!

Notice you're back in the fort now too and with a 20vt

Thanks and yes, I think they do look similar, according to what Dave told me he was doing to the car previously

He used to ask me loads of questions about mine

Glad your back doing something you enjoy (and your clearly very good at it)

Yeh, i have been in 20vt land for some time now, i had a break and tried on some other cars for size, but i found my self looking back at 20vt's again

nowt wrong with the 16vt, but take it from me, you will love just how effortless the 20vt is to drive

They seem to put the power down so much differently from what I've seen and felt for myself.

Can't wait to see what ownership is actually like.

Theresa, Dave's a lovely bloke and I really look forward to finally having it in my possession

arr ent he sweet

yeah its true the coops finally leaving my possesion.

i now have a supra Rz Twin turbo in silver to play with for a while. then thats goin and il have just a bravo for a few months then maybe back with a coupe one day... nobody ever stays away

il be really sad when she finally goes

Dave

Welcome back mate! And sprint blue is my favourite colour! Mr C

il still come to meets but il be in the supra..

You could always spray the supra sprinty if you miss the coupe!

Hehe yeah Dave paint the Supra!

Thanks buddy cannot wait for the weekend and I'm holding you to the "don't worry I'll polish her to give her a good send-off" comment lol!

Welcome back Didcoop

Ben

welcome back!!!!
now sort out your avatar from porto!!!

God I can't find the right colour lol! My bad!

LOL I'm on my third coupe now too!! all mine have been 20VT's though

Well I've been waiting to be able to insure 1 for ever and now I finally can and full comp so I'm mega excited.

Trying to get rid of my mk2 CRX VTEC is proving difficult though

Ok NOW the excitement is mounting, 2 buyers coming to look at my Honda this weekend, if all goes well I should be all Coupe'd up very soon.

Aaaah lol

didnt take me long to spot your photography David!

by all accounts, nice car mate, i love them old v-tecs

Thanks Sam, I hope to get some cracking pics of the Coupe when she's in my ownership.

Cheers though, the CRX is a fun little car but doesn't have that "Coupe-esque" plus every bugger who lives round near me drives a Honda or Jap car.

I want to be a break from the norm

CRX has gone, by end of play tomorrow I should have my Coupe

Welcome to the land of sprinty......enjoy

She's MINE 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

congratulations mate

we have another converted 16vt amongst our group!

welcome back again,
oil drip,check oil filter can leak from there and check oil cooler and pipes.That will drip on the driver side.

Congratulations

im expecting your legendary signature skills to come in to action

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!

well done mate i also have had a few 3 portos and 1 silver
all 20vt's as i test drove the 16vt before buying my first and it just wasnt as quick.. plus i love the 5 cylinder growl more.. hope its a good un... enjoy!!

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 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

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

Looking very nice Diddy. Welcome back

I am well happy, took it down the link road on the way to work this morning and really stretched her legs....scary stuff! lol!

Absolutely love it, Coupe paranoia is back too, already I'm hearing things lol!

glad your happy dude.

the oil leak thing suprises me?, didnt have anything on me drive ? when she was there for ages??

sorry about that fella.

but im glad u like her and take care of her.

her repacement is a supra twin turbo, shes currently up for sale too as im not getting on with it too well (after a few weeks of ownership not my kind of car)


Dave

Need to change your sig too hehe!

Cheers though Dave, she will be loved and if you're at the Essex meet on the 30th you'll see her again!
