    Bit of an update. Got my GT stripes fitted on Tuesday (yeah I know they will get some hate, but I like them and reckon they tie in really nicely) and got my tints done yesterday (Got 20% sides, 5% on the rear). So happy with how much better its looking! :)

    I don't mind the stripes. Looks good with the tinted windows. Not too sure if I'd have put the "turbo 240" text on though.

    Cheers guys. Im so much happier with how its looking now. Yeah the Turbo 240 was a last minute decision. They just came with the bonnet stripes as the same decal so I just got the people I got to fit them for me to put everything on instead of cutting decals in half. Figured I could always take them off if I wanted to but they have kind of grown on me. lol
    Next step is to get my 12" sub and amp put in.

    Unless your getting it tuned don't bother with any other mods, fitting a new cooler will make next to no difference on a stock car. If anything just hunt down a cheap second hand F6 unit.
    As for an intake just use the F6 unit unless your going a turbo side setup.

    Yeah wasnt expecting much if any gain from a different cooler, moreso just the look thing. Will keep a lookout for a cheap F6 unit going or go ebay cheapie.
    Is the F6 air intake better then the SS inductions one? Cant seem to find many 2nd hand F6 ones about that arnt missing certain parts.

    The ute got some new rear rotors and pads on the weekend to get rid of the nasty shudder Ive been putting up with. Such smooth braking now. lol. Tossed up for ages whether to get slotted or not but decided to keep my cost down and just got standard RDA rotors and some TRW pads. Also removed the front and rear dust covers as they have got quite an 'aged' appearance so will respray them black when I have the time and re-fit them.
