I'm off to Japan and Australia soon and I wondered if anyone knows of any scoob tuning comp in and around the Sydney and Cairns / Barrier Reef area, I've heard of MRT but have no idea where abouts in Aus they are.
Would be good to check out main dealers too , just to see the differences ( if any ).

Any feed back would be appreciated as I want to bring lots of bits back for my car.

P.s I've got a very big suit case.

Arron.

I was in Aus recently and was suprised at the number of Aus WRX's around. Saw about 15 before I got to the Paramatter Highway from the airport! Some had really nice mods as well. The cost of stuff in Aus is about 1/3 of what it is here! So, you might wanna take two suit cases!!

I can't imagine there not being places to get stuff done, just better hope that Subaru Aus don't have the same bee up their **** that Subaru UK have about imports!

If you want to talk to Sydney shops that do road cars, then try:

NRG, see www.nrgauto.com.au

or

MRT, see www.mrtrally.com.au

Riglio's work has concentrated on producing drag cars - not much use on the road.

Pick up Hot 4s and Fast 4s at newsagents and they a re full of WRXs.

Not sure if we are allowed to post workshop addresses on here. I'll post two, but if they have to be removed I understand.

MRT's address is,

82 Belmore St,
Ryde, NSW, 2112.

Their workshop is directly behind a shop, so you have to walk up the driveway to the right of that shop, (looking at it from the front), to get to MRT's workshop.

If you are interested in APS products and seeing you are not going to be in Melbourne, which is where APS is based, my friend is an APS dealer in Sydney. If you are interested, the address is,

Croydon Autosports,
9 Blaxland St,
Silverwater, NSW, 2128.

Cheers,

Wrexy.
