Terve!

(Finnish for "hello")

I just joined the forum as well and decided to drop a couple of lines.

I am a Finn living in Poland. Thanks to certain tuners and the support from a UK based MINI forum, I already built a 270+ BHP R53 MINI (OEM S/C). The project was a lot of fun and I also learned a lot. This car is now sold. I wanted to build a more track oriented car, but with the sunroof & HK stereo etc it was not the ideal starting point. Also, putting all that power down through front wheels was tricky. Though indeed I enjoyed seeing the surprised faces during the track days

I am now planning to start a new track oriented but road legal project early 2012. Currently I am still keeping my options open. These include a 370Z w/ s/c, 996TT and I even saw a nice low mileage 964 3.3 turbo recently. We will see...

As those of you who have tried more exotic builds with limited local support well know, things tend to get "interesting". If I decide to go for a 370z, I know that this forum is probably going to be a frequent visiting place for me

Looking forward to learning more about what the 370z can do.

Cheers,
Sam
