I originally hail from Kuranda, at the top of the range above Cairns. I got my 'line about 3 months before I moved to the sunny coast about 2 years ago and they were rare as then. There were less than 10 in Cairns. I had such a ball driving the Kuranda range everyday for work. My dad bought a 2-door STi for the same reason. I used to go sub 5-minute top-bottom or bottom-top. Going up was always the most fun. Overtaking drift style in 3rd gear sticks in my mind! I am going back next winter for an extended holiday so I am trying to get my cat up there as well to have another crack at those twisties

hehe, that sounds alike a blast (going up and down the kuranda range)

i must have done that trip about a gazillion times in my old girls corolla (it took us about half an hour :P )

would love to take my skyilne up there and have another crack at it!

Yeah, more fun than the gillies. Has less corners and is faster. Port road is sweet as is the rex range too. Going up in the old man's STi was ballistic! That thing is like a go-kart. He regularly eats road bikes up. An R34 GTR is next for him I wonder if that will be quicker again

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
    • Yeap, was me and the daughter getting coffee before heading to the new joint to measure up the fridge space and taking some pics that the solar installer wanted of the switch board
