hey guys, bought this car late 08,been a bit of a work in progress, thought id might aswel post her up. Bought the car dead stock besides a cat back in 08, but started modding straight away, got pacemakers and cats first up, then otr, mafless tune and 3.9's. took the spoiler off, painted the wheels black, did the stereo lowered it on sl's, did the gear shifter. had it tuned at 330rwhp, this lasted me for a year and a bit, before i wanted abit more poke. decided to go for a little bit more go than show.. tossed up between a big dardy cam n heads, blower, or turbo. decided against the cam as i wanted to retain a little bit of fuel econ as its my daily boat, didnt wanna crack the budget or sell a kidney, and was after something a little bit diffeent, so i bought a second hand single turbo kit with a garrett t04z. been slowly putting the kit on myself over the last couple months, hit a few snags as you do but its nearing completion..
