What is the ideal specification of a coupe for club members?
What's your ideal wish list? What is your perfect coupe?
Standard, mostly non-standard, a hybrid mix of both?
I'll start .....
Model - 20VT Plus or LE
Interior/Dash - Silver strip, Plus seats and flocked dash (black) throughout the centre. Dash rings
Turbo - Something capable of allowing 300 and a bit bhp without too much sweat. Fast spooling.
Engine mods - Larger diameter downpipe, Strut brace, FMIC (none cutting into bumper), Uprated fuel pump, map, and widget.
Paint colour - Pearl white or Crono, though in truth I like all the colours!
Wheels - Standard 20VT pushed out a bit
Tyres - Pilots
Body modifications - LE kit (full)
Chassis modifications - Rear ARB and welded front subframe
Exhaust - Blue flame with 200 cell cat
Entertainment - Something that allows iPhone connectivity and looks period. I really like 'becker' for this. And slightly upgraded speakers
Lights - 55W 6000K Hid, plus LED bulbs all around
Bling - Let the condition of the paint and engine bay do this. Nothing else.
For ease of copying...

Model = 20vt plus.
Interior= plus but cream leather red stitching.
Turbo= Fc performance hybrid plus giving about 300 horses
Engine mods= Guy croft prepared head and manifold.3 inch down pipe and straight through exhaust. Updated parts to compliment raised performance.
Handling= 22mm rear arb, front upper strut brace, Slightly lower front and rear spring with Osrav sports shocks. Then use professional out fit to install and calibrate.
Paint= yellow with seals painted also in new condition.
Chassis= completely seam welded floor pan and sub frames.
Wheels= compomotive 17inch.
Not worried about bling but a deeper sun visor would be nice if possible and refurbished centre consul etc.
Engine bay= Patch standard but also underneath and wheel arches and components.

One that's just has a nut n bolt restoration. Engine, tough one. I like barnacles purist car, one you can work out and use all of its legs without pushing the boundaries of public decency so far, but then a 600 bhp turbo would also be a great car.....
As a weekend car 16v Cloth Red or blitz blue Rear arb, front nigel brace and strut brace 20vt wheels (15's just don't look right imo) Flea map Free flowing exhaust (tuned, not a bean tin that farts) Improved induction to make use of every bit of throttle response. Fast Road pads. Not bothered about a stereo as it would sound brilliant!
As a daily / only car. 500hp plus in electric blue or ink. Same handling mods as 16v. Ditch the stereo for all the turbo noises.
An LE shouldn't ever be modified.

Model: Limited Edition or a Plus w/ sunroof Interior / Dash: stock LE interior; seats like the Millenium Edition Coupé (waffled leather) perhaps alcantara dash and others styled with some red stitching, and the airbag seats. White Plus gauges and a turbopressure gauge is cool! Chrome gaugerings and so on, all the bits 'n pieces. Black headlining. Turbo: Like John's Engine mods: Like John Wallace' Portofino baby Paint colour: don't matter, I think an uni-white LE would be damn awesome with the titanium accents. Wheels: RH ZW3 in 18 inch if that fits, color coded in the LE spec Tyres: Toyo T1R Body modifications: LE kit, Zender rearbumperlip, Plus grill in LE color. Chassis modifications: everything what is need for huge HP's.. perhaps a 4x4 system for extreme launches. Exhaust: straight piped, with a sort of "Supra" style exhaust tip. Entertainment: Ground Zero Lights: 4x red at the back, reverse-/foglight delete, LED everywhere (as well front and back) US-lights with additional lightning Bling: should be my big ass sunglasses Other: the money!! And: I would love to have our Dutch 18.2 size USA licenseplates...
...and then I woke up.

So my 2nd dream Coupé: an fully original 1993 (thought there were a few made in that year) 16v or 16vt with the cloth interior, as stock as stock can be!
