For those that remember the gold mid/late 90's 3.0L V6 Magna (rego: BOOYA) from the 4, 6 and Rotary Nationals... it looks like he decided to get serious! He was on the SA part of our forum for a short while too.

looks like the photos were taken here at Wayville Showgrounds, with the Truckworks tow truck in the background of one pics, and a GTS Monaro with SA plates in another pic. Wasn't there a Street Machine show or something the other week at Wayville? Methinks he was down here for that. He is from Alice Springs fyi, and seemed like a nice enough bloke to talk to, but got mighty defensive (as I would too) when some of us bagged him on the forums for having a Magna :D

By the 'looks' of the modifications this thing has big hp potential! It's got a pretty big turbo, huge FMIC, serious fuel system (custom rail and just look at the hardware in the boot!) it even has a custom plenum. If the internals have been upgraded then it would be very interesting to see just how much grunt this engine makes? A turbocharged 3.0L V6 would have a bucketload of torque too.

Yeah, big HP and FWD are a scary combination.

Remember Nightcrawler test driving a hotted up turbo cordia many moons ago, me in the passenger seat, and this thing hitting boost and swapping lanes on us in the blink of an eye!

Never again I said.

yes that was certainly one of the scaries moments I have had in a car ..... luckily we were on MacIntyre Road and there was a lane to spare, otherwise we'd have been toast. I obviously didn't buy it after that experience.

hey i saw that car here quite a while ago ... he used to have a huuuuge wing ... LOL i guess all the baggin on this forum made him take it off ... but how much would all those mods cost to do?? and only 240fwhp .... thats like 180fwkw ... hardly seems worth it??

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
