Yeah, but you have to deal with the Ford workshops and after sales! I've had the door card break twice on me in 9 months, now they tell me they aren't replacing it again as I obviously lean on it! Yeah, cause all of a sudden after driving for 20 years I don't know how to get out of a car! Oh, and when they replaced a pulley last week, they forgot to plug the thermo fan back in!

Should see the one we just got for work! 25 hp Honda twin with I think 1500 psi! Cuts through 17mm ply like butter!

Lol, I was actually talking about the photo a few posts up from mine!

Where do you start peeling from? Probably a couple of cut lines somewhere!

sh*t, customer service is still alive eh? Nice one. If I was closer I'd go there for sure. Nice Kwaka by the way!

Didn't read the threads above, but I know a lot of manufacturers say same motor with a turbo, but there are heaps of differences internally. I've seen photos of Toyota 4WD internals for example. What state are you in also as I'm sure there's an issue in some with motor dates if you know what I mean. Good luck though. Keep everyone posted.

Saw one in the flesh today driving past the local Toyota dealer. Meh. Not terrible, but had the bonnet up. I remember them saying was a "blank canvas" as most guys who'll want more performance will mod it anyway. Might be one of those cars that once you drive it, whoa! Similar to first Type R Integra in Oz a few years back. I drove one 2 days after driving a Lotus Elise and handled almost as well. Would have bought one with the price difference. 86 might not be " fast" but "feel" fast like MX-5. Four wheel drifting one of those when I worked at a Mazda dealership was awesome. Like some of the new bikes. R1 or similar you have to be doing 250 to feel fast but more fun on a motard doing 80 sort of thing in same situation. Could be a "fun" car at lower speeds?

I'm not in the know, but I'm sure I read long ago it was an all new engine, just the same configuration as the Rex. I think there's a slight difference to the firing order so it pulses more like an inline engine and there might be a change to the injection system too. I did see something saying you can't just slap a turbo on it with Rex manifold.

Was lookin at that guy last night myself and would be interested on opinions of quality myself. Would 9.5"s work on front of BF? Not keen on staggered for practicality's sake.

Oldie but still a goodie!

I agree with G6E spoiler, but would wait till you get wheels. As is would look awesome. Nice clean semi-stock looking, would make it look like an M or AMG style version if you know what I mean. Upmarket but sportier than G6E style sort of. If you're gonna go black or dark wheels, wait and see how it looks, could change the overall package if all that makes sense?

Let us know how it goes. What's it worth as a comparison?

[quote name='musicmick' timestamp='1339754283' post='1254623'] How much would it cost to have someone weld the ballistic cat in? Will it go onto the factory exhaust setup? [/quote] I was quoted about 2 hrs give or take 15 @ $60/hr. Plus tuning costs.

Ta mate, I'll give em a bell
