Man it's looking nice. Did the growler kit really add that much power. On my VT wagon I did see a great fuel saving but those figures are pretty amazing.

hey mate..the growler kit claims to add 10-15 rwkw on the website. and going off the amount of sound the thing makes since i put it on, i think they do add close to those power figures.

the dyno tester was suprised it did 205rwkw before tune and puts it down to the induction and cat back. he was expecting 180-190 at wheels.

as for the fuel figures, it's pretty good for a big V8 hey? need to take it on a big highway run upto coffs harbour or sumthing to see how far it goes on a full tank now!

cheers for comments ppl:beer chug:

lol i think i've been over this up top of thread somewhere... the cost of taking them off far exceeds the gain. tar and crap all over my rear bumper and front door panels.

i would rather have clean smooth paint over a slight improvement of looks. are they THAT noticeable?

I dont think they look that bad apart from being black,and they do serve a purpose for YOUR conditions
Maybe colour code them to blend in with the spoiler kit could be an option

i like the look of the red/black mix, i wouldnt worry to much about it, i did have a chuckle about your shifter, looks like its a bit cold for your cars man bits lol, nice car though mate love the wheels it looks pretty damn mean and getting that kind of economy from a V8 is impressive, ide probly lose the front clear bonnet protector though? unless u live on an unsealed road, if so...acceptable hehe, love your work! keep it up

...lol that's pretty funny man, i went back and had a look and it does look a bit shriveled doesn't it!!

i put the factory one back on a while ago..was getting a bit rough on the box being that short, so it's got it's mojo back haha:surprise:

Update:
Fitted DBA slotted rotors and bendix ultimate pads.

The original rotors were in desperate need of machining as they were shuddering alot and the pads were squealing too.

Pulls up ridiculously quick now with no shuddering whatsoever.

This next pic is of my fuel average L/100 since computer tune...cheers, josh!

Just had a read through the thread. Well done, it's a great looking car and I bet drives a lot better since the tune too. The wheels looks awesome against the red. Top effort mate.
