Cool Name's Matt...

... Nice to meet you all !

Been lurking here for a while, SP20s being one of my favourite cars.
Just bought one for myself a few days ago.

There's mods planned .. nothing too fancy. There'll be a fairly big emphasis on audio.

Hope to be meeting / cruising will you all at some point down the track

Oh.. and here she is !

Thanks for the welcomes gents.

Yeah my baby is silver, the black and white shot just took some emphasis off the ugly plates and green Ps !

first up, mod-wise .. letting the engine get some good deep breaths. I've been looking at AEMs short air ram. I really like the idea of a good exhaust setup aswell. Extractors to cat.

I'm from up Blacktown direction. If anybody knows where Parklea markets is, I'm literally only a few hundred metres from there ! I don't consider any part of the city to be 'out of my area'. I enjoy a drive whatever the situation, so distance doesn't ever bother me !

Thanks for the tip on the sales area, I'm going to pop over now and take a peek ..
