Hi everyone. I hope this is an appropriate place to post in! I am looking at buying an XR6T real soon and was wondering if anyone in the Newcastle, NSW area would like to do me a favour. I currently drive a late model modified WRX and have been looking to change over to the XR6T. I went and test drove a few stock ones and was impressed but it just felt so heavy. I'm not trashing - I really like the 6T but coming from a light weight vehicle to a stock 6T.. well it just felt heavy and not comparable. Anyway, my problem is this. When I buy a 6T I want to modify it and I would like to have a drive (as a passenger) in a modified one to see what they feel like and how they go. Like a lot of you I guess, I enjoy the rush and the kick in the guts as the turbo spools and I dont want to change over if I cant get to that comparable point in the 6T. So I'm calling out to any one in the Newcastle area that would like to help me out by taking me for a quick drive in their modified 6T. Preferrably to the APS Phase II kit level or equivalent. that's where I plan on getting mine to. If you like we can meet in a mutually public place and I would even throw say $20 or so, your way for your trouble. I'm just looking for a couple of take offs from rest and a few rolling pulls from 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I am looking for a manual but if you have auto I guess that's near enough. So if you want to help convert someone and you have the time and willing to help me out. Please private msg me and we can organise a time that is convenient to you. Many thanks in adavance Nick

All, Thankyou for your comments so far. Please see, I have allready decided to buy a 6T. I am not trying to compare my current car with the 6t. I simply want a drive in a modded one so that I know I can mod it to a point that will keep me excited before I spend any cashola. For me, excitement is in the brisk acceleration. The wrx and the 6T are just as good as each other and each have their perks. When it comes down to it you can spend money on either to make it faster. I just want to know what x$ (e.g an APS phase 2 kit or equivalent) will make the car feel like in throttle response and acceleration reaction on the body. So is there anyone around Newy that can help me out please. Like I said Ill compensate you for your time. Nick

Hi and thanks. Yeah I would probably research it and go another way than the APS kits. But I guess I'm looking to see how about 280rwkw feels in the 6T. I would do as a minimum, exhaust, intake, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump and custom tune
