@nick_d: So fresh, so nice!!!
And 368 bhp!! How the h*ll did you get so much??

Thanks buddy!!
368 was achieved down to Fleas perciverance and my Wallet... Lol !
Not bad for little old 16vt!!
Car still needs loads of work, body work wise, it just looks good from a few angles..

Love the Steel Grey LE '20vt_alex'. It looks mint.

Looking good pegasus. May I suggest a little lowering - circa 30mm?

Its tempting but I'm going to let this one be as original as possible.

Your pics are only showing in miniature for me..

Hi, sorry about that, just conscious of the upload limit. I have added links to my Flickr account where the images are embedded. Looks like I may need to set up a photo bucket account for ease of use though.

I too like the wheels nismo and the car
Where did you get your window wind deflectors from ?

Off eBay made by climair in Germany. Was sick and tired of getting a wet arm when the window was only a inch open .

Thanks nismo same problem with me i now have gills on my arm

@iwantcandy that's my old Porto you had there R481UBT, you may have bought it from me? loved that car!

hi jasgol bought that porto in 2009 it had lots of history lots of upgrades momo wheels but suspension too crashy for rds in wales at time! i literally drove it half a mile after buying and aux belt snapped! i then had to leave it on sellers drive till it was arranged to be collected and dropped back at mine following day.. then had new belt fitted. used it for a few months but my then partner and i split so then sold to a young couple from donnington i think
i know the guy had a highly tuned celica i think and the coupe was for his partner.. was a very long drive for them i know that! was wondering if its still in use t.b.h

Looking good Ronnie

Have you had the wheels refurbed? I don't remember them being as dark, really suit the car now.

You must "NOT" sell!

Hope your well mate.

loving the sprinty sparkyman! nice mods one to keep me thinks!!

Nismo,sparky man,and f1ang your cars are awsome!

F1ang think you should keep the plus wheels for winter,I think your standard wheels look so much better!

Sparky you should keep the coupe!

Freddan72 your car is one of my top favourites amazing!

Cheers for the comments guys

Great job Angelo on your porty inside and out, looks better every time! And those seats are they just elbow grease or did you get them redone?

Ronnie how could you even contemplate it?? I know, we've all done it...then reason kicks back in. The rear bumper is a beautiful job, really good lines, also are the mirrors grey and coded in with anything else? I see the seats, is it an LE?

Angelo ( F1 ANG ) your coupe is looking superb.

Tell your dad and sophia I was asking for them.

Catcha soon mate

Ps.

I liked the wheels more when they were silver but was advised by a least three styling guru's to match them with the rest of the grey parts, still think they look bigger when in silver

I sold it in 2002, I only had it a couple of years after getting a dealer in Exeter to find one for me (they brought it across from Germany) it was lowered with the Momos on when I got it, and yes it was a crashy ride but it had a mental 3rd gear! I know Rusper on here had it, it's the very first post on the 'your coupe pictures' thread….alas I think it's probably down the scrappies by now RIP.
it's funny how you get excited when you see photos of your old car…..or is it just me

Just feel it's keeping me back and still costing me money and space.

Thanks for the comments Simon.

The side mirrors , front plus grill , rear bumper diffuser/valance , rear light cups , hubby rear brace , front lights , bottom part of front bumper and wheels are all grey (sparkly up close) may have missed something, pretty sure the only thing I left alone was the fuel cap because I love that.

Just Le seats Simon, I had a plan to do the middle section grey to match the rest, then thought enough is enough, I've also had 5 different style front bumpers fitted at one time or another..

I know it's not one for the purists but hopefully not to far out there.

Thanks for the comments guys

Thanks simon, the seats haven't being redone, they just came up really well, after a few treatments. I try to clean/condition them once a month. Seems to keep them looking good

Thanks Ronnie. I'll pass the message on

No you definitely made the right choice. They do look bigger in silver, but IMO much better colour coded. Thats exactly how they'd be if it was my car anyway.

No doubt see you soon mate

Sparkyman: Contemplating on selling???? Wheres my cane ...
Seriously mate...maybe you need to be reminded of the good ol' times with these pics..stunning sprinty..



P.S. Sparkyman is the fat one on the left
