I'm so excited already..

No probs asking prices mate All up, including buying, shipping, compliance (labour was free), transport from adelaide to sydney, rego and insurance it'll be around $15,000.

Kristian has a free compliance deal going with a workshop at the moment, just check with him about it. They're offered by workshops who want to compliance the vr4 but haven't got the permission to do so...they have to have a test car first, they don't smash it lol...they just do all the meticulous measuring and testing of power/weight ratio etc. The test cars are always the best complied and the best condition...they HAVE to be perfect and free of all rust otherwise they will be sent back to their country of origin.

Test cars take about twice to three times as long as a normal compliance but it's worth it.

TCL and ASC is evil anyway, it just stops you from having fun

[VR-04-TT]

Hahah I suspected as much I plan on a lot of fun!!!!!

Can anyone direct me to a thread with recommended fluids/filters and maintenance stuff like that?

I will search too...I just thought I'd ask while I was typing. I'm doing this at the front counter at work...it's funny. Customers think I'm working my butt off coz my fingers are going nuts on the keyboard hahahah

Yeah you really don't need the traction control at all, and the stability control basically makes you understeer and lose power. It also kicks in too early.

As far as fluids and things go, there isn't just one thread, but in the members area there are lots of articles about how to change various things and they are well detailed.

Cheers, I found most of the info...I was just being a lazy n00b

So this means mine has AYC, but no TCL or ASC?

That's right. So you've got a 'purer' model.... No nannying TCL or ASC to spoil any arse-out antics! You see, on the Type-S, TCL is switchable, but I'm sure that ASC (stability control) remains active all the time - which if you're on a track or trying to act about isn't really what you want.

[bradc]

Yeah the ASC is on all the time, It is particularly annoying at roundabouts and sharp intersections.
