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?)

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 ..

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

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!
