Ah, that’s Ballast’s old car. Not a bad bus, and yes, it does go very well for a “stock” car. I have owned several T4s, and that car and my silver one are head and shoulders above most.
It is a SuperTouring one, which basically just means that it has the blacked out headlight surrounds and fake carbon fibre on the dash. It also had the ugly straight spoke SuperTouring wheels, but Ballast replaced them with the much better looking BBS T4 wheels.
He bought it from a mate who had inherited it from his parents (?) and then Ballast sold it to some joker who ran the rego out and tried to jack up the price by 50%. Seems that they must have had a long, hard think, because $3k far more realistic.
Your car has Evo 6(?) Bilsteins in it, and Evo3 front brakes. Ballast ran it at the SDMA hillclimb when he lived in Canberra, and it was a fair bit quicker than it “should” be.
It may also have the extended lower control arms from my old race car, to give some negative camber on the front. Rego is gonna hate you if they are still in it.
No thread on the gear lever. The factory knob is pressed on and is supposed to be there forever. You’ll need to track down one of the aftermarket knobs that use grub screws, or cut your own thread onto the shifter.
Did you get any of the spares?
