An old running buddy of mine got married to a Japanese laday a few years ago and I went to Japan for his wedding. Toured the country armed with a backback and a JR Rail Pass for about 1 month (from the top to the bottom) what adventures I had -seems like a distant memory now. Anyway, if I remember r...

The results might surprise you..

Yeah, fun roads is what it is all about for sure.

BTW I won't be putting those plates on the Turbo, I have another set that has been sitting in storage (QUIDAM) -they will be going on the new car, and my LIMBER plates will be...

Thanks Jim Well, not that I'm any expert or anything (far from it in fact) but from the test drive the big things I noticed were: 1) Quiet! I was not expecting this, but there was much less engine noise -I wonder if this is something to do with the turbo mechanism. My very basic understanding of tur...

Just a quick post to say Hi (first post on forum) and to mention I have purchased the Factory Turbo mentioned in this thread. In fact they recently moved it to Wellington as it wasn't selling in Kapiti. I don't have posession yet, will hopefully have the deal all sorted out next week. I'm attaching ...
