I've always wanted one of these so I decided the smart thing to do would be to buy one.I recently bolted on a Custom Stainless Steel Manifold and a Garrett GT2871RS Turbocharger with a massive Front Mount Intercooler and 3" turbo back exhaust system with a split dump pipe.I will be getting a Vipec computer system in the future so that it can get tuned.It's very different from the FPV. AWD is awesome but RWD is better Enjoy !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had pics of it on all my text book covers lolIt's a funny car. I actually laugh when I start it and drive it. It's a bomb compared to my ute. Mad around corners though and being a light car it is quick 0-100. Just doesnt have the grunt like a Straight 6 motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
