Atlast some hope haha. I think the M will have to go as even the owner of the vehicle is keen to see the G go in there. He personally imported it and is the only nz owner, he has told me that it really deserves a bit more power.
I've been reading up on the subject and I think the 1g-gte is the best option seeing as I've got the motor incl. gearbox and loom box etc... its a gen 3 motor so its the 210hp version.
I think i'd just need to do a few little bits and pieces, as to my knowledge the car is in pretty good condition. its all rather exciting, looking forward to having a car that suprises a few unsuspecting people.
