looks nice mate. well done. have you got any plans for it yet ?? id highly reccomend a strut brace and swaybars... i picked a strut brace up last night for my gsi (thanks sami) and fitted it and i cant belive how much difference it makes. im able to take some corners at 60kmh now and i would strugle to take at 40kmh before i fitted it.

well strut brace would be an awsome idea
i want some more perofmance in it to, its got 60hp so like what 40 or so kw as you all know under the new laws i can have 200kw ehhe
so plenty of room to play with

if you want to go down the big performance route then either go with a x18xe engine from the xc sri or a c20xe/redtop from a calibra.

dont doubt the power of these, im sure when you come on a cruise you can have a chat with auzvectra (aka matt) and he'll give you a few ideas to go with

[adam_92]

didnt matt drop the sri lump into his gsi ?

Dont use magnetic plates! They will scratch the crap out of the paint. No point in swirl marking a fresh finish!

Welcome to the forum.

What are your aims with the car?
Easy to say "I want power" but you won't get much out of them unless you a) engine transplant, b) supercharge or c) turbo it.
Suspension wise, there is a bit you can do.
Shocks and springs really are your choice as to what you want, but try get the right shock/spring combo so that they are matched.
Whiteline front and rear sway bars are great, as is a front strut brace.
I think with a fresh paint job, lower it with some black 16's... it'll look great.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
