You can use some translate tool in order to find some more information for the project or to get in touch with the car's owner.

griffster Unregistered G	cheers guys thats exactly what i dream of - even the paint colour and wheels -- shame she is a lefty! Wonder how much is involved and if their is a skilled enthusiast interested in using my car as a development mule to achieve a c.300 hp conversion... V6 is lovely but perhaps a little lacking in accelerative feel - too linear - the 20vt provides the extra oomph and turbo rush + the sound kinda suits it well love to have a copy of the Bulgarian car in rhd..

You're right the V6 does feel linear but has torque almost everywhere. Reckon the GTV would be awesome with the 20vt lump in it. I like the oomph of a turbo but NA or a Supercharger is just so driveable.

griffster Unregistered G	tried to buy a couple, however got bad vibes and pulled out (still for sale weeks later), so bought a GTV whilst lookin for the right one - I love the GTV and may well eventually get a V6 and 20VT
