Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 11y 10m 24d Posted 28/10/12 08:08 AM Author Share Posted 28/10/12 08:08 AM (edited) Yep, only thing is Tune cost about $1700 at a reputable place here in Perth, not sure if it's worth it I'm not going to say anythingas I don't know all the ins and outs e.g it might take a whole 9-5 day to tune if that's the case then $1700 justifies it if its around $200 or so per hour for tuning.Just not sure who to take the car to I've been thinking about Flash Tune Vs On Dyno.... or load flash tune on, then take it to dyno to get it checked out and fine tuned.But if anything once I decide, the first mods I'm thinking are either :1 - Dump/Cat + Tune2 - Cooler + Tune3 - or Injectors + Tune4 - Intake + Tune.Which of these do you guys reckon would be the best bang for the buck as the first mod Edited 28/10/12 08:19 AM by Z2TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill never do the Kms as ill be lucky to 15k by then, if that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF I was to get one with silver trim can the black trim be bought reasonably cheap and changed over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 18y 11m Posted 28/10/12 10:43 PM Share Posted 28/10/12 10:43 PM The car is mostly likely an ex chaser epsecially if it has the brembos and FPV wheels.That car would go for around 19K at the governement auctions.If you your going to buy an ex chaser you might as well pay the cheapest possible price for it and get it staight from the auctions...With the 5K you save from by passing the dealer...get your factory warranty extended for another 3 years or 100,000km, get any little dings etc fixed up, and you should have no headaches...
