Post by: Spinalguy on November 27, 2007, 01:12:02 PM: Dom,
i got the Pajero for my wife but... :lol: i liked it so much i kept it for me 8)
i will show the before and after pics next week.

So, now i had to get my wife a car...and this is it :P

Of course i will be driving it for the next week while she drives the Pajero to get used to RHD before she jumps into the 5 speed.

i got both off private sales.
Let me know what you are thinking and i can hook you up as i have spent the last month researching and speaking with Import dealers (lots of them)

Oh yeah...IT IS FAST :twisted:

From my understanding you can have a switch installed to turn the AWD on and off having all power to the rear wheels.

The 3 position switch is going in Saturday. But not to DRIFT :twisted:
And Greg, this car is almost there. $1000 will get me a different turbo and ECU/Booster controller that will net me close to 400hp :shock:

What motor does it have in it now? rb20det? Just make sure you get it tuned right once you go with a bigger snail and make sure the injectors etc are flowing enough for 400hp! :)
