Read about this a couple of months ago. Great stats! :clap: Kinda copied the Imprezza 555 war paint.

Now that's something HSV could easily do, too. Why don't they? I'd sign for one of those right now :)

[dieselhead]

Um, what's wrong with having a car that looks (and hopefully drives) like a rally car?! :D

Figures for the oilers are 'beginning' to sound good :)

147kw stock - does that mean up to around 170+ with a greenbox or similar, would be more desirable once 4 pot oilers can at least get to the 200kw mark, despite the high torque, they always lag behind petrol turbos in performance...they need more kw capability to put that torque to work ;)

[EL BURITO]

thats cool

[Wraith]

(and hopefully drives) like a rally car?! :D

I don't think that one will ever happen for an Opel :(

[USC]

if its not a rear wheel drive or 4WD, then its not too cool I guess...
imagine pumping 460nm of torque through the front wheels...:eek:

Ahhhh a man after my own heart - live life by the 'green box code' and you cant go far wrong !!!! :D

Life without my tuning box would be conducted at a slower pace....hahah

You gotta love VX / Thurlby for producing such a beast :D !!!
