Re: Miguelones Australian Delivered RS Turbos
I like the early heads. Might not make as much power but nothing can compare to that growl.

Re: Miguelones Australian Delivered RS Turbos
Long time since I updated on here again. So bulk copypasta. Bits from the first car moved onto the second and now all the best bits of all 3 are on the red one. With which I guess I should update this thread, been busy over the last month or so. As much as I'd been enjoying the new RS there was ...

Small update, new gearknob arrived.

Re: Miguelones Australian Delivered RS Turbos
Haha cheers guys, I guess there is quite a few tidy examples but there's also a lot of neglected cars around. I've been lucky with the cars I've had all having had extensive aint work at some point although the first car was very much a poorly looked after car by previous owners. I guess lack of sno...

Re: Miguelones Australian Delivered RS Turbos
Minor up update. Swapped the 4 pots over from the grey car and a wheel swap ménage à trois ended up with me trading my MY00 GC8 stockies for some GD 5 spokes with meaty Pirelli P7s on em. I still think 16s are the perfect size for a first gen but these are growing on me. I'll probably just move onto...

Re: Miguelones Australian Delivered RS Turbos
So a few weeks back I parked the car, came back to find this. http://i.imgur.com/qmFNBMw.jpg No note or anything, pretty annoyed. Figured it would've cost me less to repair it myself than I'd pay in insurance excess. Started talking to people in NZ looking for a Jap spec Legacy bumper and garnish. G...

Re: Miguelones Australian Delivered RS Turbos
Now finding a replacement car... I was already on a fairly tight budget getting the first car sorted and now I needed to find another, whilst I'd thought about repairing it to get it to an acceptable standard just wasn't going to be viable no matter how I swung it so I hit FS sections, facebook page...
