Taking the car for a test drive this weekend. If all goes well I will grab it. 13k with 70k on the clock, with compliance, new timing belt and rego. I think thats a pretty good deal from what I have been seeing. Already having hks coil overs and tk strut braces, circuit tyres 255wide. I think it will grip and handle pretty well. Like i said its a fun car. it will see the track, drag, drift, circuit.. but only for fun, nothing serious. All the things I want to do, will happen not too long after picking up the car. sort of a round 1 stage of mods.. then will look into forged internals if needed. Was up all night searching the net looking up inlet plenums, exhaust manifolds, exhaust systems, intercooler kits, fuel set ups.. etc etc. bolt on bits. So will see how I go I guess.. Oh and im from sydney.

thanks for the quick replies guys. Main reason I want high mount manifold and big turbo apart from making good power was the wow factor.. you know open the bonnet and wow nice big turbo and shiney manifold. Also want to add a polished inlet plenum. apart from power its a wow factor thing to. The car doesnt have to be overly street friendly, as its a weekend/fun/thrash car.. Am keeping the XR8 as a daily. Im choosing the tommy kaira because it looks fantastic and its at a really really good price. and already having a few nice modifications i find it a good basis to start with. Thanks for the link JKR will have a look see and go from there. Will do a little more research. Any links to websites that sell aftermarket parts? thanks again

Hey all, Im new, only type of import ive had was a RX7 series 2 with a 13b turbo many years ago. Up until now i've only had falcons. (currently have a 400rwhp BA XR8). My girlfriend used to have an R33 Gtst which has been sold a couple of years ago. Now we are buying a Tommy Kaira R33 m25 Gtst. As for modifications, it has a HKS cat-back HKS pod. oil filter relocation kit and oil cooler. HKS coil overs HKS SSQ bov and running 15-16psi turbo timer and boost controller. plus all the tommy kaira add-ons. bodykit. strut brace. gauges. 300kph dash. body tag. skickers etc etc. Things I want to do. (this is the part i need advice on). I have searched on here for a couple of hrs and not really getting what I need. high mount turbo manifold? bigger turbo (thinking T04z)? dump pipe? definately want a screamer. what exhaust? fuel system? computer and tune? Cams and cam gears? front mount and pipe work. Anyone in Sydney I can get these parts from, i'll do most of the work myself. Not lookin to spend millions doing it either. hello ebay? lol. Sorry for all the questions this is uncharted terriorty for me. I'd like to see over 400rwhp from it Any links and shops I can speak to would be hugely appreciated it. Thanks Mat
