HAHA, does your car have the same wheels too?
Your right about the condition, stock cars are much fresher. Havn't had a compresion test yet but i don't think i need one, the engine feels strong and is very smooth. Engine bay looks very tidy, the interior is fairly nice for a 13 year old (the dash has a few bubles) and the body is excellent.
Toke it around yarra blv today. OMG, it just pulls & pulls and the car is just so solid on the bends.
The stock setup is pretty good, very communicative. Going into a corner with hard braking will push the tail out & go hard on the gas, little opposite lock and the 4WD just pulls the car straight.
I don't know why people complain about the 4wd lag, its very quick to respond. I was told that the Vspecs had the 33 computer in it so that might be the reason.
Can't wait to go for a cruise to the G.O.B
