Nice ride . I love the rims .. Probably the best colour to get (car ie) .Used to have Black rolla but now 2 silvers and there is no going back.

The only thing that has me puzzled is the 2in Exhaust ..Thats smaller diameter than stock ??

What do you mean by Upgrade Braking System ? Better pads or something bigger in mind ?

I feel the same I think there hot they were one of the closing deals when buying it. The colour is easy to clean I dont think I could ever go black.

I must have miss measured the exhaust, Ill get back to you on that.

I would love a set of Slotted Rotors, Braided Brake Lines and larger Brake Calipers.

Well there are some very Wise people here who give the right advise .. I had a thing for Slotted Rotors when i 1st got my sportivo but after months of Window shopping i havent done anything about them. DBA make the front Slotted Rotors but sadly not the rears ..

I think the general advice you will get is unless you are going on the track the Stock brakes do the job well enough for street application.Pad upgrade , Yes.

Track days @ Queensland raceway are part of the cars dutys, so I might have to do some looking around.

Car looks good. I remember when my car used to look like this. Looks a bit different now :ph34r:

Hey Justa,

did you by any chance, purchase this car from a private sale, or a dealer?

those rims are VERY hard to obtain, if this is the car i know of...

Also, WElcomE! :D

Very nice! Quite like the silver Sportivo's, certain character about them :) Best of luck with all the future mods, certainly got a great base to work with :clap:

Price was one thing in the choice but mainly the fuel consumption, one lap around Mt Cootha used over half a tank. 56L/100kms is alot of fuel when playing.

Very Very similar in fact . . . .

Glad to see it finally found a good home with another enthusiast. I will be watching this thread closely.

Re: Upgrading the braking system, last time I saw it there were slotted rotors all round, QFM HPX pads and race fluid, so unless they fell off somewhere along the way, I would leave the braking system as is.

Your headers are the stock items ported by CES, Your exhaust is also CES. The cruise control isn't stock (but Donna has already told you about that no doubt). The springs are whiteline and shocks are Koni (the adjuster should be in the centre console, lol) You should already have a whiteline rear swaybar too.

I can't think of anything else right now, but there is more in that car, a very reliable little birdy told me.

I was scared that I would find is old owner, even more scared that I have. Ive been told that it was good buy and was treated well. I was told by then guys at the dealership where I got it that they put it in 4 diffrent locations but it wouldnt sell then to see it at on the ramps at the dealership it must have been fate. And dont worry I will treat it well.

excuse me but why dont all of you guys have such clean engine bays? mine looks like it went thru WWIII :lol:

P.S. nice car btw ;)
