I bought a HSGR last week.........not really a fan of the body kit look, but it's growing on me. It's as rough as hell, full of human slime and missing most of the interior, pod filter just dangling in mid air and
gasket leaks about the place, stuffed front shocks, tie rods ends and steering rack boot. All of which I have spares so no biggie. It has a crush bend exhaust system with a cannon, there is enough drone
to make the US army jealous. Torn apart stereo remains and an "autotechnica" boost gauge with the wiring and hose run on the outside of the dash, so it has to be wrapped over the key to avoid getting
tangled in my feet. It has a "look at my car idling with no one around! I'm easy to steal" timer, which will have to go.
Plan was to rego and sell it, but thinking about keeping it, fixing it, and slowly swapping the parts from the SG over to it.
OK, so the good parts. Oil filter relocation with front mounted cooler and 324mm front brakes with 4 pot calipers. Hot compression test is 178, 180, 180, 182, the head has been off and looks brand new,
oil smells good and healthy. It's a manual running stock boost, freezing cold A/C, alarm and OK looking wheels.
I'll post up the progress pics if I end up keeping it.
EDIT: front rotors are 324mm
