*UPDATE*
Chris from BluePower visited Karratha in October and had a look at the beast for me. After a new tune and some minor tweaks she now puts out 316.4 rwkw or 424HP. needless to say...I'm STOKED!!!

I purchased the car in March 2008

Written by original owner Jamie who did all the work!:

"I bought this car brand new in 2002- after the release I knew I had to have one. I worked hard to buy it and even harder to keep it.

This has been hands down the best thing I have ever owned. It gives me utter pleasure to drive and a gratification from being admired the way it is. It is a dead set head turner and it is very, very quick. After modifying the engine, we got alot more power out it than we had expected and it will only get better. Stay tuned over the coming months for the final weigh in- it will go well over 300kw or 400hp in the old money and be capable of some very respectable 1/4 and even more importantly lap times.........

No blower. No gas. All motor. And it's a T3. How tough is that?"
