History

Purchased the car in April 2008 and 4 weeks later the turbo’s blew. Not a good start! Rebuilt turbos with standard ceramic wheels as I needed it back on the road. Only had 116,000km and I believe about 3 owners since being imported from Japan in early 2000’s.

When I bought the car it had terribly low suspension - even on the test drive it was scraping on normal roads. As a result most of the bushes were trashed and the camber was so bad it ate the tyres in about 5000km. Promptly lifted it to just a 2" drop from stock, comfortable and functional, then got the bushes sorted so it rides smoothly and, most importantly, straight. Tyres last a lot longer now.

Since 2010 the paint has been peeling under the sun, and I lost interest in modifying it until the paint was done. This was not rectified until May of 2013, when it was resprayed in Chlorophyll, a current Holden colour.

Now I have the bug again am planning more modifications, like front mount intercooler, piggyback ECU and tune & boost controller. Currently it naturally boosts to about 15psi, and a recent dyno run saw 280rwhp. The last drag run was a few years ago, resulting in a 13.88 @ 100mph, with boost cut, which has since been fixed, so I plan on another run when the 2013/14 season starts before I start modifying more.

Modifications

Cypher CAI, HKS SSQV BOV, Custom Dump Piping, 3" Custom Exhaust to Twin 4" Outlets, FCD, Kings Low Springs, 18" Vork Ravs Rims, Silver Mirror Tint, re-spray in Holden Chlorophyll, smoked aftermarket tail lights, interior slowly getting blackened, HKS Turbo Timer, Apexi Boost Gauge, Pioneer head unit, Rockford Fosgate Amplifier with 2 x 12" Rockford Fosgate "Punch" subwoofers & 1 Farad Capacitor.
