Mate check out the specs, age and mileage of mine in the cars for sale thread (2004 BA Mk1 4 speed auto) and I ended up with several folk all trying to climb over each other to part with $30k to own it. Probably a better all round package due Nizpro Stage 2+, suspension and brakes but yours is newer, stronger rods and ZF auto. I managed to sell mine before the new model came onto the blocks and that may have an impact. I'd expect nothing less than $35k. Best of luck with the sale Cheers, Dingah

I'll try and alert the new owner of my T to this thread and the potential for a Canberra run . Dave C will be in it providing there's a dyno at the end of the run! Dingah

Probably terrified of getting a Wog ping..ooops I mean tune! Dingah :wacko:

Go for the even larger front sway bar (32mm??) and leave the rear one alone so that the rear suspension can flex and work as designed in order to keep the power down is my advice. Dingah

I guess I didn't complete the story and also had the suspension, brakes and transmission suitably re-engineered in order to retain a safe driveable balanced car that can not only go in straight lines but around the twisty bits and stop appropriately. Aspects too often forgotten by too much focus on dyno graphs and numbers. Remember also that despite their best attempts to tell you otherwise there is neither one tuner nor any one system that is the RIGHT solution; horses for courses. A really good point raised by big Mick (MS700) some time ago is also relevant - you can have all sorts of power figures but how many other 'features' have come along from those tunes. For my money I have a conservative looking, extremely capable 'GT' with no unwanted 'features'. Enjoy! - the journey can be as much fun as the destination! Dingah

A good choice by my judgement - see my comments on that set up and a little more New suspension - form and smooth

Read this first Cobra State 2 - a sting in this tale Any questions - pm me. Cheers, Dingah

One of the simplest and cheapest initial handling mods that you can undertake. Only benefit is on corners (roundabouts!!) but it gives the impression that the car has shrunk a little with a good one fitted on the front. THe rear is best left alone in order to keep the wheels in contact but put the biggest Whiteline on the front you can source - 31mm(?) I think is the fatest. From there, shox and springs can follow as a complimentary series of mods. Dingah

Fully agree. Have gone down the Billstein/King SL path and am very happy with the set-up = not too harsh and very stable but nimble too. However, part of this equation was the thickest swaybar you can find on the front (31mm?) not very expensive addition but a huge diffrence to handling together with re-bushing throughout. Dingah

Glen at ESP has the credentials to match any Canberra or Sydney tuners and at last has his dyno set up and Flash tuning capability. Dingah
