Whatever the eventual diagnosis & reasonable $$$ spent on upgrades/mods etc (please don't go bling!)... dude, that aint a bad price at all, yeh even for a GC8... spend wisely on the savings & you'll have a pretty cool ride.

The only 4-wheel dyno in Darwin is in a 4x4 workshop, who don't tune performance cars like wrx's, so unless the last owner flew a tuner up & borrowed that dyno or had the car trucked somewhere to be tuned I very much doubt it has been done anywhere near properly. Which then brings the quality of work & knowledge behind the modifications done on the motor into question...
GC8 ECU's can be Ecutek'd, but the only ones who do it are MRT as far as I know.
Which doesnt do anyone in WA much good.

yeh rims with tyres that have atleast 80% want $1100 or make me a close offer..

yeh i understand the money thing.. i bought the cooling silicone because it was old and one had split cost me $180 for the kit and the powdercoating for intercooling piping cost me $20 so pretty cheap. also did the break pads oil change and filter.. im just doing the basics so its safe to drive then heading straight to get a tune and advice on how to make engine 100%. thanks for the advice.

Power Fc is the best bang for buck.

I noticed it's had the widebody treatment, never seen it done like that on a sedan before - pretty unique!
