I've not really started modding it yet as I have only just bought it. I'd like to add a supercharger but I've heard that the JDM spec ECU's are different to the UK ones so I'm not sure if this will work on a UK model. I'm also looking for some alloy wheels - with ultra low profile tyres. I'm pretty lucky - I've got £3000 inheritance to spend on the car and just want to get the most performance for this money.

Hi everyone.
Names Hideo, living in Melbourne, Australia. Current ride is a *cough* VP Holden Commodore, but will be flying in the ST170 below in two weeks - hence my being here at this site.

Can't wait.



Great job on the site Wayne, keep up the good work.

Hideo

The only Modifications I have planned are new shoes (Eagle F1) and am expecting to replace the rear engine mount. My research tells me the rubber used in the factory mount was a little soft and is best replaced with a mount which uses polyurethane instead. This was definitely true in the earlier models, but as mine is a '04 model it may have been sorted already. Not to mention that the previous owner was meticulous, he also may have already sorted it. Other than that, I will be very happy with the stock model.

Cheers,
Hideo

Heya!
Nick (faze_932) told me about this site yesterday at work so I thought I'd come and check out what lies he is telling you!

Looks like a really useful site though so I'm likely to hang around and pester you all.

(My name is Fred, incase you hadn't worked that out for yourself.)
