Will have pic's up tomorrow, Just got it home then. The difference in build quality between attesa and local cars is amazing the attesa is great build quality where the local is not bad but not even close the the attesa. The attesa feels slower to drive even when your going faster. All in all the cars good very clean quality.

Ill take some photos tomorrow after i transfer the rego and get new tyres.

I'm guessing this is a HNU13?

ATTESA is quite general champ.

Welcome to the 50/50 torque split club :P :)

The reason why there is such a huge difference between the attesa and the LX is becuase the LX is the most basic model, if you had bought a SSS U13 you wouldnt be saying that.

HNU13 Attesa yes, as I'm posting in the U13 forum.

Cars great been driving it all weekend very fun to drive, It has a few small issues that I should be getting sorted out soon (gear selector dust boot needs to be replace, clutch needs to be adjusted, belts need replacing, and 1 of the after market wheels it came with has a slight buckle) these will be all worked out soon. But 1st I'm attempting to install my D2 coilovers (hoping they fit the Attesa) from my Lx and the whiteline kit from my Lx. After that ill be dropping it onto the mechanic to get the things fixed thats wrong with it and to get the suspension setup well.

I bought some Goodyear GS-D3 (215 40 17) tyres on the weekend as the tyres I bought it with were worn. As I said in an earlier post the Attesa feels slow in comparison to the Lx, I found out the speedo is off by about 10kmph partly is because the tyres being 40 profiles. This is a little hassle but I'm going to look into getting the speedo re-calibrated.

All in all it has its issues but its not like there major and they will be fixed in the near future. The GS-D3 tyres seem a good match to the attesa they glue to the road and what can I say boost rocks even at the stock mark.

When I save the money I plan on upgrading to a s15 t28 turbo (which my Friend is selling to me cheep, as hes upgrading) and a 3inch turbo back exhaust.

Heres some pics. (taken at night so bad quality, will get some better ones soon)

Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.

Yer its a bit of a co-incidence and hell yeah there awesome. Overtaking is especialy fun when the car your overtaking is some wanker in a commodore who thinks he owns the road.

the torque split is 50/50, get your car on a dyno and it will show it for sure!!

and get yours on there before you mod it nick, would be interested to see what your baseline power figure is. mine was 110kw's at all 4's when it was stock, not bad for a U12

but a very nice pickup

Yer id tend agree its 50/50, most AWD cars will understeer in stock form even when there 70/30 rear bias.

Ill be sure to get it in a dyno before any mods, but I wont be doing that for a while. Its not compleatly stock its got a pod and FMI but I doubt that bumps the figure up by much anyway.

But first call of duty is getting the issues fixed and installing sound system.
