Hi from the Isle of Wight

Featured Replies

Hi guys, my name is Sam, I'm 22 years old and live on the Isle of Wight.

I currently have two cars, a 2.2 Pulsar GTi-R and a '98 Spec JDM DC2 Integra Type-R as my daily. I'm looking to sell my Integra in favour of an Octavia vRS as I had a quick go in a mate's and was pleasantly impressed. Here's a brief overview of my Pulsar which is my pride and joy;

She's got a Tomei 2.2 Stroker Kit running 395bhp and 411ft/lbs @ 1.7BAR on a GT28RS turbo. I have since decided to go forward with a complete respray in W83 Scotia White with new rear arches and am going for a 500+bhp build using a Garrett GT3076R-EWG. Below is a quick spec of the car and a couple of photos before she went in for her respray;
