thats ****ing mint

Cheers guys. Yeah usually if things are to good to be true they normaly are, but this thing seems to have proven me wrong lol.

are you for real? this is one of, if not the hottest car on jc. i'm sooooooooo jealous!

yeah definitely go SVI over a mixer setup. i've got the mixer, and i mean it's ok and it runs, but it has robbed me of some power even on petrol due to the mixer being a massive restriction on the intake. and the gas plays up when i floor it (cuts out?!). for the extra $1500-$2000 it would have cost... SVI would have been way better...

I was tempted to take the gas off for the time being but have kept it in due to being sick of the bloody melbourne train system and decided to drive. The mixers a such are bottle neck.
Throttle Body = 65mm
Mixer = 40mm
Mixer = choke

[levymetal]

oh so it's already on gas? that's not too bad. yeah when i took my throttle body off i almost crapped my pants... i reckon the gas ring is even smaller than 40mm lol

love your car anyway though

[INNAWE]

yeah it can on gas. The SVI will be in the furture probably when the tax man comes around again.
And cheers for the comments on the car. It's good to hear others comments.

[binney]

New car mate. Like your wheels.

[VjamesY]

congrats on the clean interior! very nice ha ha

The rims suit nice to, The car sits well

Remove the tow bar if you don't need it, would make the car look so much cleaner

[INNAWE]

yeah have thought of that after looking at the pics lol

[reids22]

so nice mate, did you pick it up for 4k with the rims?

[INNAWE]

$4000 with the rims and 90% tread.
The issues that cam with it were a leaking sump gasket, suspention issues, brake ware.
