About me: Im Chris Findlay, im 18 years old from Noosa Queensland, yep that makes me a P-Plater... I have an unfinished project car currently sitting in my shed awaiting its finish.. Its a 1982 Ke70 Corolla.. It has been built with the purpose and intentions to be used for drifting, I have spent roughly 25k on it to date, and it is pretty highly modified, with everything from brand new leather bucket seats, momo steering wheel, 4age 16v Quad throttle engine conversion with 250hp at the flywheel, coilovers strut braces, sway bars, sunroof, ae86 break upgrade all the way to 4 link trailing arms etc..

Hey guys, im new here so first thing I thought I would to was post a thread on my new car.. As you have read above its a 2011 XR6T, im yet to see it in the flesh as I work away and I purchased it from Victoria, had it shipped over here to Queensland, where it has been parked in my garage until I get home tomorrow night (Sunday 14/10/11), I bought the car from Hillis Motor Group, they were awesome to deal with, and the offer 100% perfect customer service.

This ute has been purchased for the intention of use as a daily driver, but due to me only being home 9 days, 12 times a year (I work a 28 on 9 off rotation) Im extremely keen to take it to Queensland Raceway when I can for the occasional drift night..

I have the car booked in for this coming Thursday at Tint-A-Car to receive the darkest legal Octane tint, which should look awesome. First thing Monday morning I am debadging the boot and side skirts of the car, although it is still registered as a turbo vehicle, and insured with Just Car insurance as turbo.. I have a cunning plan which has worked for mates with high powered turbo vehicles on their Provisional licence to allow me to drive this vehicle without any hassle from the Police and its simple.. My local mechanic gave me a full receipt for labor and necessary parts for a "TURBO REMOVAL" back dated to the afternoon the vehicle was delivered to my house.. I will simply place this receipt in the glove box for use when needed.. Also I am going to do my best to hide the turbo (Although it is lower-mounted which is pretty hidden already) with metal heat shielding..

So far I have purchased a few bits and bobs to give this car some hidden potential.. Below is a list of what I have purchased so to date..

Flag this might just remove the turbo all together..

Sounds like you make too much money and not much brains. If you remove the turbo altogether the vehicle will be slower then a normal NA xr6. If you dont remove what happens when a copper pops the bonnet and says but I can clearly see there is still a turbo on this vehicle, he then fines you and then tracks down your local mechanic and starts looking into his dodgy work...not to mention if you crash you will probably not get insurance. I am aware you wont drive it much casue your away but I will put money on when you do drive it you will dive it like a Drift King on the street, trust me I did the same thing when I got my first 300rwkw xr6t LEGALLY at 18. IMO your asking for trouble...

If I was you I would have bought a nice fg xr6 ute drove it till you hit your opens then went for the turbo...

Sell it, by an NA. Make it look smick, then when your on your blacks build your engine for big boost and start small... Saves alot of hassles.
