hi folks, i finally got my 205 gti6 fully road legal today and already i havent smiled this much since God knows when! the best all round car ive ever owned was my dc2 integra type r and it seriously shocked me just how good a car could be, but in the end it always felt like it was missing something, and today after a good drive in my 205 i found that missing feeling again! you know that tingly feeling where you feel so excited!

sorry about the randomness, i just feel like im 18 again hehe!

They are a rewarding car to drive. What 'box are you running? I opted for the 1.6 box but i'm still in two minds whether to pop a VTS one in.

Enjoy it Thumbs up

    No sign posts or anything to suggest it isn;t :p
    Although it probably didn't break the speed limit, it only does about 90mph on the limiter in 5th.
