Default Hi- another newbie!

Hi all, I've been reading the forum posts for months now and finally thought i'd say hello!
My names Danny, as you might have guessed, and I live in Norwich. I'm a mechanic working for the local FIAT/ Alfa dealership but i've always had a soft spot for Fords.
I drive an RST converted XR3i (when it decides to play) which Christian and Gary @ APT know all too well (it's the one used to test VEMS management which Christian posted about a month back). When I finally have a spare minute I'll get some pics done, only its looking a bit sorry for itself at the mo.

I'm looking forward to joining in on here!

You'd have thought that owning the car 5 years i would've got round to taking a pic by now!
If it's not chucking it down tomorrow when I get home I'll finally dig the camera out- if you don't mind the rusty brake discs...

As Danny mentioned above, his is the car to which we fitted VEMS management and squeezed a genuine 215bhp from a Stage 2 turbo, at around 18psi dropping to 14psi (from memory).

His car is VERY strong and once we have over-come the one-or-two minor remaining issues, it will be a great fun car.

Hi people! Here's the pics you've all been hassling me for... if its worked right!

Here's a before shot (alright it's not mine, and its '89 spec, and it hasn't got the lattice wheels mine came with, but you get the idea...)


And here it is 5 years later...



Excuse the blurriness!


And finally, for those who missed the VEMS thread-
