Looks like I'm picking it up tomorrow, I'll post picks when done.

Really wants a tune when you get an OTR done. If you're planning headers and exhaust later, you'll be better off getting it all done at once.

It has a Catback already and i wasn't planning on doing the headers as i think I'm already annoying the neighbours:( I've never been a tuner so roughly how much do joint's charge for a tune?

Nice find on the headrests mate!
As far a tune goes GM MOTORSPORT here in Melton offer an intake and tune package for $1590.
Tune alone I am not sure though.
Give a few places a call.

Mine came with a new set of breather pipes to make it all work with the OTR, although I went MAFless. You want to get behind the MAF so that hole is lookin' likely.

My tune was $800, done remote, on the road. No cam so pretty straightforward business.

So i finally figured out that the breather pipe was around the wrong way and its now up and running, She sounds awesome and looks a heap better as well, Ill probably look into a tune in a month or so (save up some coin first) also have to look at an aircon service to make sure I'm properly set for summer.

So i haven't been here in a while as not much has been going on with the car up until now, i will be getting my car back tomorrow as I'm currently getting the top end rebuilt with a new cam installed and it's getting tuned to suit as well. I don't normally mod my cars as it's not really my thing but there was a noise coming from one of the lifters so i thought stuff it Cam it is lol, i still have a few things i want to get done soon as i will be getting the headlining done in a black suede and i will be replacing the starter motor as well as it's getting a bit weak. I'll let you all know tomorrow how it turned out.

Well i got the car back and it seems to have made more power than i was thinking with stock headers, I'm thinking new engine mounts shortly as well but pretty happy overall.

So I ordered a new steering wheel from Holden and it's so much nicer as the old one get's sticky every now and then, if it wasn't for the lockdown I was going to get the headlining redone in black suede. Also now the cam is in it surges when stopped at lights and so on does that mean I need an upgraded converter? I'm new to modding cars so I have no idea with these things.
