G'day from New Zealand

[Reuben]

Hi all, thought it was about time to join SLI! I frequent legacyGT.com and NASIOC just about every other day, thought this would be another good place to hang out.

I live in New Zealand, a JDM paradise, and own a black, manual 1998 GTB Limited. I've had the car for over 6 months now, bought it back in november. I promptly blew a big end bearing 4 months later, as the good ol TT EJ20R's apparently love to do. And 3 months later it was running again with a 89GT closed deck 2L block, forged this, STi that, and a VF39 of all things. So yeah, STi single turbo GTB FTW!

And no indroduction is complete without pics! (yeah, bit of a picture whore :p)

HOLYSH*T welcome!! your car made me... well it moved.. please PM me some pointers on some things to do to my LGT wagon..

[Reuben]

Like? That car is 100% stock on the outside. Engine conversion was fairly easy, take two turbo's off, put one on, ta-da! STi engine! This is why JDM is win :grin:

And thank you :smile:

Welcome along bro... nice to see someone else from the long white cloud.

How is the 09?

[Reuben]

Bah, i'm getting so pissed off with auckland drivers it's not funny! :mad: But i live at the north end of the north shore, right next to some lovely deserted windy back roads which are fantastic for venting some of that frustration on :wink:

And there's a clubsub dyno day tomorrow, finally getting a post rebuild/single conversion dyno done!

Welcome to our little nook. You'll recognize alot of names here, but this is a good consolidated source of information.

[Reuben]

Yeah, i'm liking it already, and there's some good discussion on the TT's which you don't see much of on lgt and nasioc.. Thanks for the welcome guys!

Oh and, fresh as of this morning...

236whp eh?

[Reuben]

was expecting more, but then i did pull 20HP more than a stock V6 STi RA, so aren't complaining :P

I've posted this in the my-rides section anyway, thought it more apropriate there.
