Hey Alex,

Yeh I have a very big smile.

It went like a dream on the 1800km trip home and averaged just over 10L per 100kms sitting on a an average 115kmh. How nice is turbo whistle as it starts to spool up.

It gets registered on Wednesday (first available appointment) RW is done, so im just waiting for this so i can drive it to a car wash and clean it and then throw up some pics.

So you holding onto yours?

Cheers

Mark

So, what are some of the differences that you have noticed between the AUDM Lib, and the JDM Leg?

Ummm the GT has heaps more power then the LX.

The GT feels more solid on the road, more weighted down. Although obviously it is a heavier vehicle.Tthe variable steering has alot better feedback, the LX feels a bit vague.

Seats are firmer, a big difference in spec though, plus the electrics and climate control are a nice edition, back to my previous ride specs now.

One thing i found curious was that when i fitted my rear strut brace from the LX, The GT's strut tops are closer together by a noticeable margin.

Good to hear your keeping yours.

You forgot to mention roof bars

Fastastic economy by the sounds of it too. But that could be attributed to the fact that its a single!

Hoping that your missus isn't reading the forums, what have you got planned for this wagon? And don't say you don't have anything planned....!

Haha yeh roof bars, unfortunately i have paid for and waiting on a set from IM for the LX which i now dont need. Oh well.

My missus already read a PM i was writing to Paul about intended plans to which i was grilled about after a number of modded cars im used to it

First two things will be a turbo back exhaust, as the current setup is only catback and press bent 2.5". Then get the few "car park" dents taken out and a polish and detail.

Later, respray the front bumper, replace the badly scored drivers window and strip the mirror tint and retint black.

Have just finished the first stage of the custom grille at work today. Now just for paint and mesh.

HAWT DIGGITY DAYAMMMMMMN!!

Projectors + 6000k HID = EPIC WIN.

Now that you have a single turbo car, there's lots of reading to be done at RSLC regarding modifications. The original thread where Al and Miles ripped out the twins (to get me going!) can be found there too!

What muffler is on your ride at the moment?

IM also has many styling bits for the S1 Gen2's that look mighty tempting!!

Have you figured out the JDM door handle pin code thing yet?

Yeh i signed up to RSLC for some ideas

Atm the muffler is only a mild steel Lukey one. I think there will be definite gains to be had with a full system.

Im looking at IM on a daily basis, but trying hard to resist. I do want the slimline full length weather shields though, due the them being removed from the wagon originally buy someone who seemed over enthusiastic with a screwdriver, so a set will cover the marks.

Door pin code?

Manual would be so far at the bottom of the list atm.

More pics when clean

Im at work atm.

But i have noticed some beeping before, very soft?

whats the go?

PM sent.

Thanks, something i didnt know before.

Please, please, PLEASE! Do not buy a cannon!

Speaking of which, what kind of muff you after?

alan has a magnaflow at the shop. its off a GC8, but he'll mod it to suit the GT. looks awesome, its about a week old i think.

Dunno about the xForce though mate, they make the rexxies sound a bit tinnie, so it'd be the same story for your car

I wouldn't say tinnie, but I'd say quite loud. Once they build up the carbon, not tinnie.
Congrats on the car looks great, I would have loved to see it but you drove right past you rude mongrel.

on a lib... i mean legacy, i'd go the single big tip. dunno if the twin 3" would sit properly

I'll be the echo here.
Personally i think they look great with the gen1 bars. But the shape of the exhaust opening on the Gen2 really lends itself to the big single tip.



Thats a 3" tip i believe.
