The car looks insane Tristan!! Have you thought about some kind of bonnet vents, maybe like that DRIFT F6 car? Might look alright being a black car.

Hmm well the exhaust and the wastegate needs to be done still... should be looking at around 350's in power...

Probably also do the swaybars and might start looking at doing the interior.. hmm

manythoughts....

Dunno if you'd like the idea, but have you thought about smoothing the boot garnish plastic and then painting it with gloss black instead of that grey metallic colour. Just an idea.

Bloody great car by the way. Nothing I hate more than seeing someone with a great car and then wreck it by putting on all these tacky things from Ebay, but your've done very well and kept it neat and tidy.
If only I coulda just stretch my last personal loan out by another $25,000-$30,000!!
Woulda bought a BF GT or Typhoon.

I was talking bout the plastic area under the number plate. It's either a dark grey or black sorta colour.

Yes, it is sorta like a snowball!! one thing leads to another, and another. But like others have commented, all classy things you have done. Well done mate.

And i agree, the painted surround for the number plate looks the goods

DEVL-XR · 23-07-2008, 10:13 PM

And centre the number plate! Good idea with the black centre.

Not good to hear about the way they treated your car. I know the place your talking about.

I had my first set of bolt ons done there, but when it came to further mods and tuning they didn't make me feel secure in there abilities.

To dampen your experience a little more, when I had my car on G&D's dyno for the first time it was actually alot less than the the place I had all my bolt on's done.

I've heard there Dyno is a bit out, so you may actually have less then you think.

Take it down to G&D and see what the boys think. I'm sure they could get a bit more out of it.
