Why do you want a car that costs more to run than it is worth? Horses for courses.

Yep, my wife has one. A 2005 GT. It has everything except a reversing camera (has sensors). Enough power although it is strangled a little by the intake scoop and the rear muffler (easy replacements). Car is a very nice cruiser and has pretty good economy for a big 3.8L sedan. They are quite large though (bigger than a VE). Don't get anything less than an VRX, there is a big difference between the bottom two (ES, SX) and the top two (VRX, GT) spec cars. Forget about tuning though, the ECU is so far unchippable/flashable and only one piggyback "works". Nice car, just need to chuck a transmission cooler on it

Sorry to keep you waiting Dale, it must be frustrating for you

Aaron, is that a reference to the Subies? Or something I am missing?

mmmm.... Cosworth

I do.. Only Apple item I own/have ever owned and I still use it because it works nicely in the car and gym and has 160GB of music. Certainly more music than my One X can handle lol

Looks rubbish. "Free" or not, it will still cost me my time which I can't get back.

Marine carpet in the back is good for dogs. If they happen to spew on it - say after drinking half the ocean - it will hold it and you can just hose it off

Custom metal gaskets as a replacement when needed?

No, not at all.... I just find it funny hearing that it will go pop running that kind of power when the only basis for comparison is either the RB25det or the VQ35de. I know of none running 350kw at the wheels... but how many have tried? I've read about the 2.8L VQ25det in Japan running 315awkw but that is running a VQ35de crank and TEPS rods/pistons. I'd love to see and reckon it would be golden at around 350-360 with the 3076 as a reliable daily but it ain't my car nor money and I am only going on what I "feel" the engine could do. All speculation of course

He didn't think the GB would last at 300 if I recall correctly... but then neither did the GB rebuild place!

... and how exactly would he know this? Where has he seen the power limits of a VQ25det? I certainly haven't seen or read of one popping due to reaching it's limit.

^ RWD manual I love the Momentum kit, but 30kw more than Scott's setup on a built 3.5?

It amazes me how he as enabled the breeding process as there is neither a hoist nor a set of ramps at his disposal...

Had a similar thing with my wife's car, would tick damn loud when accelerating. First thing I did was an engine flush and put some GOOD oil in it along with a filter of course. I'd personally grab some Motul 300V 10w40 and put it in after flushing the previous oil. Might cost you $140 in oil + filter. Best case = engine back to running well Worst case = no change (but at least you ruled out poor oil)

Just imagine of Scott still had his Legals as well! lol

At least you have public transport I have to walk to work 65kms each way... in the snow... uphill...

Go to G35driver for first hand experiences with these exhausts. I don't have one, nor will I ever... I own a Stagea

You can get all error codes with Consult 3

It's GOLD!!!!

Might be -1 due to the fuel being used (98 instead of 100)?

Colour code those flares and skirts!

Why wouldn't it? Same car. It is only the exhaust manifold (extractors/headers) that you need to worry about due to the steering rack being on the other side for the yanks. Obviously you can't use a Coupe exhaust on a Sedan due to the spare wheel well.

I never thought I'd say it Craig, but that is going to be one nice looking ARX
