Nice car, except for dodgy cooler pipe hanging out of front bumper on the drivers side!

So you bought this in the end, been watching it on carsales for a while now. Was it your friend that posted up about buying this on Antilag, quite a discussion over it. I believe there is a photo of it on there from one of the previous owners.

Nice ride

It already had all the mods on it except for the wheels and the front bar that's on at the moment, as the guy who bought it from us didn't know what to do with the antilag and ran it into a curb, but not at a great speed... It was then sold to the current owner I think.

It's an amazing example of the car, interior is in awesome condition and as you can see the k's are low. Was a lot of fun to drive, pulls hard, although it was the first performance car I drove so I could be dreaming...

This is what it looked like back when we owned it:

Hope that's of some assistance, any more questions just ask.

Nice car mate, plate's will definitely attract unwanted attention. As what BALISTC said get that piping fixed, looks half arsed.

Nice car... I like

Enjoy!

Great purchase mate, saw the car a few weeks ago looked very nice. Plates wise i think they currently have the state plates on already.

In the carsales ad, 56,000kms.

And it's definately the car from all those years back, it was doing the rounds
at the dealerships too as I went and looked at it when it was at Brian Gardeners way back.

Nice cheers for the background balistic! Yeah state plates are now on and I got her for 22 (bargain I thought) because someone recently put a dent in the front LHS panel. I was wondering where would be a good place to get this fixed? It looks like it would just pop out but as its aluminium so I don’t know. Yeah I also agree about the cooler pipe and is on my long list.
Was it you nice 05 that had a look and got it checked by subaru?
As with my last rex I will tinker away and keep her for events and rainy days as I ride my motorbike to work most days to save fuel and getting pulled over

I also would like to take it to a few track days to learn its capabilities.
Thanks for all your feedback and info! I will no doubt have allot more questions on the way so I'll probably dig up allot of old threads and I'm still fairly new to Perth so any recommendations on garages and dyno tuners will help immensely.

Very nice purchase.

IMO the eyelids need to go though.

XT7's FTW!
