Hello everyone!
I'm a 41 years old newbie from Finland and here is a short introduction of myself. I have been a happy owner of a Opel Speedster almost a year now. I live in the central part of my home country, where winters are rough and cold. That's why my speedy stays in garage some four months during the snowy season. That part of the year is good for tuning and maintaining the car.
I have had Opel cars more or less as a hobby for about ten years now. My other project car at the moment is a black 1997 V6 Calibra, with MV6 engine and some other tuning. Speedster is my firs real sportscar, although i have been car enthustiastic for decades. I will send some pics about those in case someone is interested.
I have already tuned up the performance and looks of my speedy, but there is still lots to do. Z20LET gives nowdays about 310 Hp and the torque is around 450Nm. As You know there is newer enough pover ;-). I registered to find out some new ideas and Your experiences also from this forum.
Only one trackday behind, and some adjustments to suspension will be done during this winter. Testing will take place when the springtime arriwes here.
Now I will dive inside this forum and check what's up.
Greetings Janne (lowcali)

Thanks for the offer, but I think that we have enough snow already (about three feet and more to come)
Rims are gloss black with carbon hubs.
