Damn, i wish my blue would shine like that. I need to wax it, but even then it doesn't even come close. Real clean cars.

Hey, great looking cars!

An easy and nice upgrade is to replace your S4 shift rod with one from an S5. You get a nice leather grip and a shorter rod for shorter throws and nicer ergonomics...I feel the S4 places one's hand too high.

Congrats on the TII!! (Or should I say Savanna?)

Both exhausts are custom. You don't really get name brand exhuast kits in Aus, the majority of cars get exhausts done at local performance exhaust shops.

Nope, which is perfect! Plenty of headroom for me with my helmet on, for track days. The owner of the white car isn't too happy about it. He has to put his seat back to fit properly!

AFAIK, not many Japanese FCs had sunroofs fitted. There are quite a lot of imported FCs in Aus, and most don't have them.

if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for your fc ? Here in the usa to get a clean FC like that youre looking at anywhere from 5,000-10,0000 $ and it is very rare to find one with less than 90,000 miles ...

i bought mine for $1,000 with 146,000 miles and had to put alot of work into it...($2500 or more) , makes me want to move somewhere where i can just get a whole car imported that looks that clean and has low mileage... im sure there alot easier to come by and alot cheaper there too

but anyways, very nice FC's its something for me to look up to and hope mine will look that good in the future ... although mine is a non turbo ..

Mine was about $10k AUS. The white one was $16k Aus, but as I said before it's immaculate, and is rebuilt, has aftermarket ecu etc. I got a good deal, though as similar cars usually go around $12 to $14 thousand.

I'm not too much of a fan of the blue wheels.... but damn, those gold wheels on the white car are fancy lookin!
Also, both cars look very clean both outside and in. Very sharp. Very much how i'd like ANY of my cars to look. Very shagadelic

No idea for the blue one, other than it's got 4 way adjustable struts, that are black in colour. I haven't had them out to look yet. It's getting Ohlins struts and RS*R springs installed as soon as I get some time. This is because it's too low, so the tyre scrapes the inside top of the guard liners. I suspect the springs are cut stockers! I hope the new combo will keep a similar stance, but I'm sure it'll be a bit higher. It'll do until coilovers go in.

The white one has stock struts, but lowered King springs (www.kingsprings.com.au), which are made locally. It's not quite as low as the blue one, but sits very nicely! It also has 3mm wheel spacers in the front, just for a little more clearance to the strut. It will be getting Teins as soon as the owner gets the cash together!
