I've been lurking for a while, should have got round to saying hello earlier. So HI everyone. My name is Rich and I'm a nerd. Spend most of the day sat in front of a PC writing software and looking after PC's and nerdy stuff. I purchased a beautiful Red 6 last year and have been enjoying every minute behind the wheel since. So far I've got a hypertech tuner and a CS intake kit and box. And have some springs and forge recirc on order from FR&R. Wish they had the CS range in before I bought my intake. Next things will probably be ebc discs and pads and mounts, then next year maybe look at tmi and exhaust. I've got a bit of a problem at the mo with my timing chain/tensioner and pulleys, but im sure she'll be running sweet once there sorted.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Maestro wrote: :welcome: and congrats on buying the right car ... albeit you could have had a special lavender silver one which would have been betterererer When I was shopping to buy there was only a Grey one and a Red one within about 100 miles of me, and I didn't trust my old car to get me any further (luckily when it came to part enchange time, it started ok). I did want a silver or black 6 before settling getting my beauty, but now I'm convinced that Red ones are the fastest.
