Thanks guys, im so happy with it!

I think the first mod will be tinted windows. Because its cheap and makes a huge difference.

Then the exhaust to get the rex growl! It sounds like a turbo diesel at the moment, its kinda cute though.

Nice to know I cant get defected! No fear of the Po Po for once! :P

Go and join rexnet before you do many mods, with anything past the classic range the ecu's don't learn big mods (like exhuasts and the like) so if you do a full exhaust budget a ecutek tune....Rexnet is ur friend

Cheers,

That is really good to hear! I was after something reliable with performance and im hoping that is exactly what I get. From what I have heard they are pretty hardy things and the performance and handling is speaking for itself!

I havnt ventured onto Rexnet yet. I have looked at S&J Automotive and they seem to be the Go to place for Rex's. They have some performance packages that look alright, as do Exhaust Technology.

First mod to do to it you can do at home...Get rid of the intake resonator and replace it with a cold air feed straight into the airbox from the guard! Makes massive difference! Just take the inner guard lining off from the RH side of the car and you'll see what i mean!

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
