    Hash ra23 it is a gt as it has 18rg on the vin, it was green to start with then painted when it came to the uk.

    Alchemist should be starting work on it in a few weeks and il start a thread with the mods

    Snyper first class mate the car is a credit to you and the guys at foursnmore, you have obviously spent a lot of time and money on it . i really liked the colour you painted it and it must have looked shit hot when it was done! It must have been a sore one when you parted with it. Brenton emailed the dynos to me . are they accurate? Im still deciding on the mods but you have done most of the hard graft(thanks) its getting painted, new leather interior and a new turbo .. i want to get 11 s in the 1/4 but that will depend on how deep my pockets are! Any info or pics would be great as i would love to see it when you finished it .


    Sillycar Its good to know there are other guys around with these cars in fact it seems a common conversion in Oz. Its good site with lots of useful info and loads of topics.



    cheers davie

    pm me an email address mate and I'll send you more info
    170kw was the real figure.
    13.1@111mph was the 1/4 mile time, with standard open diff and alot of wheelspin, it should have seen mid 12's.

    You've obviously bought it from the guy I sold it to in England I'm assuming..

    Start a member's ride thread like other's have said mate..

    as it being a common conversion, I'm doing it again to a RA23
