Hey people...

Just picked up the new ride last night and quickly took a shite picture with the phone before the light had completely gone.

It's no gtr, but at least I'm back into the turbo 4x4 arena!

Maybe it can be the SAUWA S&R vehicle!!!

Will post up some better quality pics after a wash and with some decent light.

Pardon the height... Brad will be attending to that issue shortly.

Yeah... i will be washing it every week like the gtr used to get... plus I just spen $80 on a new wash mitt, drying towel and polishing towel... microfibre FTW!

Pimp boy :D I like it... when do I get to drive it? hahaha

Am I ment to take that seriously... I'm worried about the wife driving it let alone anyone else! I worry about those rims like they're my 2nd child!

Damn thats nice.. that turbo version?

Yeah it's the top notch turbo ghia so it has all the fruit

hey that looks good i used to work for ford and drove a few Territory turbos and they hammer pretty hard

Yeah I have already spoken to a performance shop in Midland that have a name for building hypo FPV's and Typhoons, etc... they say with $3.5-4k this thing will do 12sec 1/4's!!!

Don't tell the wife that though!!! :thumbsup:

yep

new turbo (gt3540 or bigger - i think the standard is a gt30)

not sure on the intercooler

3" turbo back zorst

ecu reflash (which alone nets about 25-30rwkw if not more depending on mods)

that looks mint.

can we borrow it for covert missions?

hahahaha... yeah, but only after it gets it's kevlar armor coating and bullet prrof lexin windows... I'm going to drill holes in the sides for shooting out of just for you Dan

They say 4" dump, high flow cat, big unrestrictive exhaust, injectors, typhoon airbox and cold air intake, retune... thats it... she will boogie!

u dont want to make it noisey though? poor donna would get a headache from the exhaust drone when going to get milk n bread from the shops.

I't wont be that noisey!!! There is always the stereo to drown out the drone... trust me there won't be outlandish mods happening to this thing.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
