hi bogstocka, i live in Canberra and recently was stopped at an intersection when i looked in my rear vision mirror to see the bonnet of a red TA22. It had a chip in the paint and i didn't think much of it so i just drove through the intersection with the intent to have a look at it as it overtook me. However after doing the usual cancelling my indicator (the boss kits gay) and having another look in my mirror, i couldnt see it! Then from my right i heard what must have been atleast 100db of 'supersonic type 3 BOV' expelling 15psi of boost. It had 17 inch DTM merc style rims on it, and it was dumped on it's arse, and i mean dumped. The reason i didn't notice the big intercooler when stopped at the intersection was due to the fact that it was too low to see! So of course i followed it until he stopped, before hastily ramming him with millions of questions. It ran a 3T with i reasonable sized turbo (can't remmember excactly what) but he said he had a T04E lined up for it. It had the works done to it, pretty much everything Jamie (MRTA22) has done to his. It had the full Autometer equipped interior in it, and the engine bay was very neat. Ohh and the i asked him how he got it so low, because i KNOW TA22's can't get that low without something being chopped, mine on the bumpstops can't even get that low (no i don't drive it around on the bumpstops). He informed me that he removed his bumpstops and had new shorter ones made up, so it can go lower than with bumpstops, but still retain all suspention travel. I didn't question him, he seemed to know what he was talking about. Anyway, he said he will sell it if the right price came along. I have some pics of it, and even a short bit of footage of him ripping it out of a mall's carpark. ohh it has run an 12.5ET. If you want pics of it i can e-mail them to you. Unfortunately i lost is number, but i know where he gets work done on it, so i usually stop by to see if it's there. Next time i see it i'll make sure i get his number for you.
