It's been for sale heaps of times, I personally wouldn't buy it for that much but I can see why the owner wants that amount for it.

Front bar is more heinously ugly than an abortion with a coat hanger. Respect for the power figures, and the obvious metric arseload of the cash the guy has blown, but ****, that front bar just takes the whole car to another level... Love to see it with something a bit less "sick supra bar bro".

Fk no - rocker cover poking through FTMFW! Leaves no doubt as to what is underneath! If he put a bulge on people would just go 'oh look, another try hard with a BA bulge' (I've seen NA V6 commodores up here with them, that kinda ruined it for me)

Agreed. There's a blue VS down here with one... and a VY HSV kit slapped on it. Looks terrible.

Mate You must be really fucked up. I think you have more issues than that car will ever have.

Probably, but if I actually gave a **** then I'd probably be embracing some mythical/religious figure for enlightenment or solace.

Yeah I don't mind the car. The guy didn't go wrong anywhere on the car IMO. He made a package that all works well together.
Hole in bonnet > bulge.
Reminds me of those tuff VN's with those funky manifolds that you need to cut the bonnet to fit. They are sick shit.

Not a massive fan of the front bar or skirts, too Veilside. Not even jap car guys like Veilside
Orange looks nuts tho, wheels look nuts, 2 cams > 1, bonnet hole looks good too!
Anyone got any more pics of the respray?

The whole car is sex on wheels (esp those wheels, OMFG!) the only thing I don't like is that the front bar kicks up where it runs across in front of the intercooler - if the bottom of the front bar was just a flat lip the whole way along (like a v8 supercar) it would be perfect.

Aaah, thats what it is! I agree, it's the veilside supra-style kickup in the middle that really disagrees with me i think! If it was straight across, then yeah, I think it'd be pretty awesome actually. But meh, it's not my car and each to their own, I just personally dislike the front bar. The rest of the car is fucking nuts in every way though.

He should drill speed holes in the piping for more cooling

the orange looks heaps better than the old colour IMO. I don't mind the front bar, I'm just used to it I guess. The only thing he needs to do is put in some EF tail-lights. Those orange indicators look like poo.
