First post!

Hi to all!! I'm new to the world of the turbo and performance cars so expect some noob'y comments and questions. I'v liked performance cars for quite a few year and finally got round to geting one. I recently, spur of the moment, bought my mates moded r5 gt turbo, so i figured this is the place to be. The main idea is to tidy it up, get it running(including an engine re-build with uprated head, valves, valve springs, piper cam, new standard pistons and sleaves, baffled sump..) as well as possible and also add a few extra's to the rest of the car. I'm undecided, but think i may steer towrds the trace/drag goin road car rather than a fast, practical, comftable road car (Maybe instaling a weld in roll cage) Hope to recive (and eventuly give) help, guidance and advice. I'll try to attend as many events as i possibly can and looking forward to seeing other members out on the road, track and drag strip
