I doubt the car will make it there this year unfortunately. More aiming for this year. I need to learn how to drive it again first. Heaps of mods surrounding the motor too so it will be a different beast.
Proper fixed back seats, wider rubber and more power should prove to be interesting for me.

Shipping to NZ?

Might just update it since I am here. Car is now driving and has done just over 500kms. Slowly ironing out small issues, but nothing major. Hopefully it stays that way. We made a custom strut brace for it and the engine bay is complete except for an airbox.

Well car is now driving and I finally got it out to the track for some happy laps last weekend.
Still tuning it, currently running 30psi with no timing. Timing will be added once we are happy with boost and afr's. So far so good.
Also I have started fabricating my own RS diff kits. I have been buying diffs from the US and bringin them over. Here are some pics of the kit installed.
I have done a few thousand km now on it and it has been great, also recently fitted one into an evo 9 to see how t goes on the later models. Hoping to sell these sometime in the next few months. Mustache and front bars weigh around 50% left than the stock items.
Thanks for reading.
