  • Newbie from the UK

    Hi all, I'm Greg, im 19 and a new member to the Stance|Works forum! I live near Brighton in the UK and I'm currently doing an apprenticeship in engine design.

    Introduction out the way, we'll move onto cars!

    Passed my test aged 17 and drove a boring Peugeot 106 for a year to keep insurance cheap whilst I was at college.
    Once I earnt my first years no claims bonus and landed myself an excellent apprenticeship I could finally afford to buy and insure a car that I had longed to own. A Mk2 Golf I lowered it on coilovers, with Static+ air setup upfront to help it over the speed bumps on my daily commutes. Steffan BCW wheels, 14" x 8j with staggered offsets, wooden omp steering wheel and chrome strip type19 bumpers etc.. Anyway I'll let the pics do the talking;


    It wasn't the cleanest mk2, but it was mine and I loved it all the same. I learnt a lot owning it, but after a year I felt it was time for a change so my beloved mk2 golf had to be sold to make way for my new project.
    A 1990 Eunos Roadster V-Spec (the Jap equivalent to the Miata)

    I brought it completely standard, and for a good reason. Its a blank canvas, ready for me to put my stamp on it. Yesterday I ordered a set of MeisterR Zeta-s coilovers. Wheels will be next then i'll go from there. Once I've got some parts together I'll get a proper build thread up to share progress.

    I look forward to being an active member of the forum and community that love stance!

      Thanks man, the mk2 photographed well, but was a bit rough round the edges in reality, maybe im just being picky lol.
      I'm going to get the stance sorted first, decent coilovers are on there way, wheels wise, i'm thinking anything around 15", 8j & et0, but my get tempted to go wider!
      Then naturally move towards the engine. I think forced induction will be on the cards without a doubt. I just have to find a way round the insurance as it will cost thousands to insure it with a turbo build as i'm only 19
