All I can say is..............Damn it looks ugly.

Suzuki prolly won't get these, as they actually price out a little higher than the 4 door, and may be hard to sell.

Time will tell though.

If its about 30degree it could be a RTI Ramp

Nah mate!!

This is for the GF to drive. Bit of a waste really, but it'll keep her off my back so I can mod the sierras a bit more. :armsup:

I just ordered some leather race seats for the coily, and the stereo and konis go in in the next few weeks.

Then the LINK ecu, and sc12 which is sitting in my garage. I have started fabbing up mounts and pipework for the charger and WRX intercooler :twisted:

Nice super 1600. That thing pumps out 160kws not bad for a car weighting around the tone mark.

Dunno.

I've had this on order for 4 months and picked up the car after the official media launch day, so I guess thats possible....

Looked at a Swift Sport on the weekend, might trade the Baleno GTX in on one.
Love the spare tyre :roll:
