Arabas, welcome to the forum.  It's great to see other people with Opel GTs joining.  There are two ways to upload pics to the forum.  As a supporting member or in the Gallery.  You can also use a photo hosting site such as Photobucket.com and then paste the [img] code here.

I don't normally bring back a quote from a new member but this forum until now has never had a member from Athens, Greece who owns an '07 Opel GT 2.0L that is modded to the hilts and since one of my sons took his bride to be, to Italy to propose to her and Italy is close to Athens Greece I decided that I had reason to break one of my rules.  Thank you for accepting the invitation from Kelu and joining this forum.  We are most pleased to have you hear as a member.  We all look forward to your posts and remarks in the future.  Thanks for joining this great forum Arabas.

Also Arabas you have pictures with the car before and after H&R springs? The guys are saying the H&R ones will lower the car most of all springs.
How much they were and from where?  :idk:

P.S. You thought you gonna be the one which post questions?  :lol:

Arabas, welcome to the Kappa Performance forum! Great to have you here and our first member from Greece to boot!  :gf:

My son is getting married in a few weeks and is going to Athens on their honeymoon. They are really looking forward to the trip. I was there a last year and it was a beautiful city. We enjoyed it immensely.

Again, welcome. We're glad that you could join us.  :cheers:

 Welcome  
Here's to many rides with the top down, wind in your hair & the  hammer down.  :drag: :brnout: :drive:

Nice vid.  :cheers: That tarmac seem to be, almost slick as ice. A lot of wheel spin & sliding, but no smoke.

Great video's Arabas!  Nice job around the cones.  Really enjoyed your beautiful and scenic mountains in your videos.  The drifting was first class.  I have never seen such touch in the gliding around the cones, looked like you were doing it in slow motion.  Well done indeed!  As Joe said in a prior post on this topic, I as well hope you can talk your buddies into joining the forum.  It is a fun place.
