There is no such thing as "only" an ES! :D

good stuff, i'd love a 380...

and if your lil old 3.0 ran dead 15's you have to get a 14 outta it.... you must!

even though 16's are the best tested times so far :confused:

and you have spare wheels already for the track and some tyre smoking ;)

Well its an ES with lots of extras. :cool: :cool: Which is extra toasty special - but I said only because old mate said that he had a flash model lol

I'm in the same boat. I've had mine for just a little over 3 weeks now, and only done 1300kms. Must be a living close to work thing! lol rofl...

You know you love your car when you choose to drive to work in 10 mins, whereas you can walk there in just 5!

Well everyone... I picked her up yesterday and all i can say is im stoked! Absolutely one of the best cars i have driven. The refinement, handling and performance are exceptional! Who says that 175 kw isnt enough? The main thing i noticed between going from a 3.0 in a TF to the 3.8 is the off idle torque. Its almost like a bloody V8! 40 kms in 5th and floor it and feel it pull.... lol

Take it up into the hills (don't know where you are) and check out how good the handling is.

I used to holiday at Lorne when I was a teenager and remember spinning mum's Datsun 1200 on the dirt roads in the Otway's :badgrin:

I believe it was 50 mm at the front and 35 for the back using Kings springs. Im looking into rims at the moment but i might wait till the tyres are shagged before i do anything.

looks hot dave

will look even hotter with black 19's

u know it will :P

dont waste your good tyres now, though when its time for new tyres... 19's ftw :)

Jeez, dave,

Just trying to upstage me :P

Looks great mate, well done.

Same here, wait for next tyre replacement then 19's.

Race you to 200KW :badgrin:
