Hi All

not exactly a new member or first post since i discovered this forum a long time ago back when my brother bought a brand new sp20 sedan and i was trying to find more info on the car which led me to here. i would occasionally read this forum learning more bout his car in case i had to fix anything one day but fortunately for him, with 180ks on the clock, the only thing that has ever broken is a door lock and intake hose.

pass forward 10yrs later while looking for a cheap daily i came upon a pretty clean 03 astina 1.8 with 210ks. so its when i decided to sign up on the forum.

my first mod was lowering the car but since the shocks were on the way out i decided for cheap set off coilovers. then my intake piping was cracked so i bought a secondhand injen CAI for it. during this time a few mates were out at wsid testing their cars and i thought i would just throw mine down the track just for laughs and see how it goes. not impressed but i was actually surprised it ran 16.2s with 2.3s 60ft on cheap tyres.

couple of months ago i got to do wakefield park for the first time. i added some hankook rs3s and remsa pads. it was very wet most of the day but as it started to dry up i managed a 1min20s with a passenger, then it poured down again and we called it. i recently installed a progress rear bar, so hopefully with dry track, more experience, next time i shave a few seconds off.

as for future mod, i would love abit more power. i haven't searched enough on here yet but if a ZE engine would drop straight into my car without replacing anything else and gain some power i might do that. otherwise might grab a universal turbo kit of ebay or something. i would be happy with just another 15kwatw or so

so that is me and nice meeting you all
