Those who went to PVS will have seen it, it was a bit dirty.. After working to get it at least ready to go to PVS all the Saturday, getting 1 hour sleep then driving 5 hours to Santa Pod, I really couldn't be arsed to clean it up.
It still has a half roll cage to go in, bodywork needs a tidy in places and engine bay needs tidying up. But here it is.
Its a 2.0 16v Turbo, Stage 3 tuned. Should be running around 280-300bhp (?) Will be getting it on the rollers soon.
Spec:
Engine: C20 LET Engine conversion, Stage 3 Chipped, S/S Head Gasket, Uprated Acctuator, GTR Performance Intercooler
Suspension: Apex -60mm Shocks / Springs all round, Front & Rear Strutbraces
Exterior: Custom GSi Front & Rear bumpers, GSi sideskirts, GSi spoiler, One-off Bonnet, Smooth Tailgate, Aerial smoothed over, Smoothed DTM Cup mirrors
Interior: Stripped out, Half Roll Cage (soon!), Half Leather Recaro Seats, Digi Dash
Did anyone else get any pics of it?

I'm not sure on the wheels either, they're just some 17's we had lying around, so they went on.. I want some 15's or 16's, probs 16's as I'm getting some big brakes for it.

Indeed, It ran fine most of the way there and all the way back (5 hours both ways, and I wasn't taking it easy). But, its not ideal.. lol

not a fan of front bumper with grill smoothed out, surely not the best to aid cooling?
280bhp sounds fun tho

The engines run super hot anyway - i really would sort some cooling because it WONT like that.
I would adress that before anything else - but its your car!

Have had it for 3 months or something, just been sat in a mates garage getting the engine put in and all the interior ripped out. First time I actually got to drive it was Saturday evening.. it is fooking rapid.

Not surprised - i have owned LETs myself (check my garage)
I know what they can do 
My black Calibra was a decent slayer of more exotic machinery

Like that a lot - saw it on the stand and wondered who's it was!
I personally really like the wheels, mate has got them on his Fez in 15's:
What colour is it? As I saw an Astra coupe very similar to that yesterday?

Its a custom colour.. Shines lovely in the sun.
Wheels are alright.. I fancy some lightweight 16's for it tho.
