Couple of issues to address, but no dramas. Now to get RWC, book it in with Vicroads getting transferred and regoed and off we go.
    As soon as that is done first thing shes going in for a Snorkel and 3" pipe to let her breathe a bit better.

    Oh yeah no more to say, well done
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    I picked mine up in Melbourne and drove it home to Sydney. Got on the freeway, set cruise for 110 in 5th and never touched it until I got to Sydney (or a nature stop). Before this I drove my CRD auto down for a High Country weekend and while it got me there and back with no problems what so ever, it was hunting through gears on the hills and dropping back to 90-95 a number of times. I have not regretted getting the 4.2 at all and I'm sure you'll also be suitably impressed with yours. How many kms on it?
    Cheers Rod

    90,000 mate. Very low compared to most 2005 4.2s out there.
    And yeah you are right my 3L got me everywhere no dramas, but this on the freeway wins hands down. It ate dukes highway and western freeway for breakfast.

    Just gotta jump through the SA to VIC rego hoops. A lot of conflicting info out there. Anybody went from SA to VIC in regards to rego before ?
