    As much as I love it too, it's harder to break traction lol with those big wide heavy wheels in the rear. I want VY GTSs now.

    know the feeling lol, but its great for handling and grip in a straight line

    After feeling 10.5s on the rear of mine i dont think i could handle driving another car with 8's or 8.5's lol

    PLease dont swap out those wheels for GTS's :( Why do you want to break traction for? No need to flog out such a nice car

    I get over wheels very quick. I've always loved the VY GTSs. I need a change lmao.....as you said it is good for handling and taking off, even cornering hard seems to grip nicely even in the wet. We will see what happens.

    Had some problems with my gearbox, so I'm doing a full reco with HD parts and stage II shift kit.

    $2500 later, I guess my funds I had saved for my cam swap won't be happening any time soon. :(

    Got some Philips diamond visions for the headlights and foglights.

    I'm actually thinking of leaving the foggies as is. Thoughts???

    Check out some Narva Arctic +50's. You can get them in SCA stores and should have a display where you can compare the colour/brightness of the different models.

    I already have H3 in the same colour as the headlights, I don't want to go too much the same as them.

    Just need them a little less yellow.

    Try extreme vision +100's? I was told they look more white than yellow.

    The diamond visions weren't up to scratch, pretty dull and dreadful in the rain.

    There just more of a wank factor, I've swapped them out for HIDs in the low beams and Xtreme visions in the foggies and its a huge difference. Don't need to use my high beams anymore lol

    Now that you have sorted your headlights, you look like a man in need of some spare clubsport badges. :p
