Welcome aboard mate 8) quite a list of previous rides you got there for a 24 year old, I'm 23 and my previous was a V6 Camry! Great purchasing with the build #1 - that sure can't hurt your resale value - but hopefully you will own it longer than the others! Let the modding begin! :twisted:

Okay so the car made 165awkw, on a mainline DYNO (the worlds most accurate rolling road)

And it was a about 27ish here today, the car has a MRT tune and turbo back exh's and like i mentioned a GFB BOV, It is also running completly stock boost and no intake mods (i.e not even a aftermarket panel filter). so all in all happy...but for how long :twisted:

Just got bored! as you can probally tell, i like to change up my cars fairly often

That had an exh and remap, RS4 19"'s and was black (the $1700 option black) and looked pretty nice but you know it just lacked something, for me anyway. i was going to buy a MY08 tuned by, but in my humble opinion it didn't grab as much as the 07 so i went hunting for number 1.

Haha, Adam. However, if you were an assembler wouldn't most of your effort be on the 1st one because you wanted to get it all right? I think by the 100th I'd be like "WTF? Not another one! Screw this I'm gonna do it quickly so I can go watch my soaps!" :D

I think that's why at #287, the workers had had enough. Mine looked hastily assembled and there was even a bag of screws with a note that said "Japan Idol is showing. DIY you lazy bum."
