I purchased this GTiR in 2022, from Queensland. It was a rolling shell with a laundry list of parts including:

- Spool 2.2L Stroker Kit
- Garrett GTW3884R
- Twin Turbosmart 38mm external wastegates
- Custom ceramic coated exhaust manifold, dump, and full exhaust
- Custom intake/intercooler piping
- Autronic SM-4
- Camtech 280 degree 12.5mm lift cams
- Brian Crower valves
- Brian Crower twin spring set with titanium retainers
- LS coils/distributor delete
- Built gearbox with PPG straight cut 1-4, PPG final, and Stracher Motorsport bracing
- Competition Clutch
- JGY Custom fuel rail
- Bosch motorsport 1600cc injectors
- Turbosmart Fuel Pressure Regulator
- Aftermarket Industries SP800 surge tank + pumps
- Tein coilovers
- Whiteline handling kit
& a whole bunch of other fun bits!

The car had been used for hillclimbs, and put out 350 awkw, but the motor slipped a sleeve and so was in pieces.

I was living in NSW at the time, but moved to New Zealand, and took the car with me...in pieces, and have since started the build process.

...and we are about to get it rolling within the next month.

I'm sure the journey will be another few years...and I will post more pictures as the build progresses.
