Hey Guys.

Hi guys,
Great forum. Thought it was time I introduced myself as I have been perving on your posts for long enough. I live in Brisbane own a silver 2003 SP20 (JEB 82). Have had it for almost a year and am fed up with it's performance. Been trolling the car yards for something to replace it with. Test drove a 206GTi 180 and a Renaultsport Clio and I have come to the conclusion that all these cars have on the SP is straight line speed (and less tinny interior). Given that the best Trade in price I could find was $14000 I have decided to go all out and modify the hell out of the Astina. Rest assured I will have heaps of stupid questions for you guys in the near future.

Peace Out.

hiya ! and welcome

great idea - the SP20 has heaps of potential.
are you more interested in a big straight line or shorter twisty roads ?

there are quite a few brissy members around - hopefully you can come to an event sometime.

GucciPiggy · 29-12-2005, 03:27 PM

I prefer the short twisty bits...... but I want to get between them quicker too.

Hey Pig, come on a cruise some time. Good to see new cars come along.

And don't worry, there is lots of power to be extracted from these cars.

Cheers,
Gav.
