I think I'll just take my time deciding on this one, no need to rush :) Pics for comparison!

Duckbill is awesome!  So is the new mr2, I personally wouldn't play with its looks, I think it great as it is.
 
What CF specialist did you use, I have some work that needs to be done?




Try Lightning Composites in Molendinar. http://www.lightningcomposites.com.au/about/
 
They come highly recommended by the guy that did my cowl for me, I'd put you on to him but hes no longer in Aus

Wouldn't remove the equips. Surely the rubbing can be fixed. Suited the car well & it looked perfect. Stock wing was fine too. Would only invest in some go fast bits.

I agree the equips look great but I'm not sure what can be done except raise the car right up. They need spacers to clear the suspension and scrub badly even with rolled fenders.

As far as go fast bits Aquamist water injection kit is on its way and will be installed with a boost controller, and larger fuel pump/injectors etc. New tune to go along with those bits and also take advantage of the 3 inch Berk dp which was installed after the current tune by Purple5ive.

But I'll driving just as it is now for a while first so I can get to know car properly :)

Ive got to say I'm i little happy this thing is now in Qld, I hope to see it sometime in the near future.  Who do you use for your tuning?

Registration was finalised today! Only went for a short drive to the transport office but it put a big smile on my face :)

#1 priority at this point is to remove the RCA's as they make the car feel very strange on corner exit especially when you get on or off the throttle!

Also sometimes the throttle sticks closed but I believe this can be easily by adjusting it's close point. Someone had a similar issue with a 3sgte in a celica that fixed it so fingers crossed!

Apart from that everything is great, so good to be on the road again.

I haven't decided on a tuner yet, got a couple of options I'm looking at but I'm open to suggestions. Hopefully someone who's played with 3sgte's and water/meth injection and is good with an Apexi Power Fc.

Do a little research into Matty Spry at PITS (Performance Injection Tuning).

Do you still have the tabs in the rear? Many of us have shaved it off which eliminated most if not all rubbing.

Where are the tabs located? I'll have to have a look and check
 
Had a look and the tabs are still there, removing them wouldn't be enough unfortunately, the rubbing extends past the tab to the top inside of the phoenix rear addons!
