Hi All

 

Was scrolling thru gumtree a few weeks ago and found this Starwagon that had been listed on there for a year. Its a unfinished project with a DOCH 4g63t 90% finished, Microtech LT8, external waste gate, Turbo smart blow off valve.  I thought I'd take a chance and see if they guy still had it and he did. I asked what was his price and $4000 was the awnser i offerer $2000 and no deal was made. But 9 days later he had seen the light he rang me and said if i could pick it up the next day he would take $2000 so i went and picked it up.

 

So as is

 

EVO 3 4g63t  ( According to the recipts )

Microtech LT8

intercooler

blow off valve

surge tank

low pressure and high pressure fuel pump

new 17" wheels

2 year old paint

mandrel bent exhaust

 

Not a bad score i thought

Steal!

The fact that it's such a ridiculous colour makes it so much more awesome.

I saw this and tried to convince my mate to buy it but he catted it. Looks like fun to be had.

Can you get a dual wheel setup for the back, so it leaves 4 skids at a time...

The exhaust housing on the turbo is fkn massive. Looks at least 1.04A/R. Full boost at 6000 lol.
 

Injectors look like Indy Blues?? (1600cc)
