Waiting to pick up next week from the dealer... Can't wait! Still got the GQ for the rough stuff! ;)

Just wondering what options are there for these cars?
Like for off roading, power enhancement etc.

I know of http://www.subaxtreme.com.au/

They mainly do bars and skid pads.

Sweet, sounds good nicbeer.

Yeah some of the guys with fozzies are making subs that sit in the spare wheel with great success and totally out of view and you retain your boot space.

Yeah inverter and dry wheel chair type batteries. 26 amps each, they last forever.

Charges off alternator with a 'smart' relay.

I chucked in a CB with remote head and internal grid antenna the other day too:
