Hey Everyone!!

Just a quick introduction and some pics

Name - Nick Turner
Vehicle - MY08 2.5i with 100,000km
Previous Vehicles - nothing but road bikes...soon to change!!
Occupation/Interests - I work for Queensland Health at the Toowoomba Base Hospital. Always had an interest in all forms of engineering e.g. civil, mechanical, aeronautical, etc.

Mods: Just had the car tuned by Master XRT Tuner Edward Millington, Front/rear strut bars, a cheap-o XFORCE 2.25 inch cat-back exhaust and high flow cat (some custom bends), lightweight/underdrive crank pulley kit, Cosmo Racing air intake with K&N filter (still need to work on heat shield).

Planned mods: Front/rear whiteline sway bars and some other suspension upgrades (still thinking), annnnnnnnd maybe a low pressure supercharger if I win $5,000 or something.

Welcome to Team QLD mate. I read something about HiClones in there, what's the go there? Do you reckon they actually do something..?

Reckon you'll lower it at all? Should look mint.

Hey, sorry I stuffed up, hiclones are NOT in yet but are on their way. I remain extreemly doubtful but the sales rep was big on the money-back-guarantee so I will try them, log the results, see if there's a gain to be had and if not, I'll just send them back

I'll probably lower with suspension upgrade, and a functional splitter/spoiler/diffuser

Hi Nick - glad to see you're here!

The swaybars will make a big difference in general handling, and I'd recommend getting those before any suspension changes if you're on a budget.

Hey, thanks for the kind replies

I have now ordered a supercharger (with intercooler) from Raptor SC http://www.raptorsc.com.au I have Edward Millington http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum who is lending some much needed technical advice.

He did some incredable work tuning my car http://forum.liberty.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=17624 and now he's going to help me get the supercharger dialed in.

If all goes well and I don't blow something up, then in a few weeks time I'll be doing a whole lot of driving and would definitely enjoy the company of anyone who is keen.
