had a chat to the guys at G&D and for a tune and dual defillipo 2.5's in mild steel the price was almost too good to pass up but due to low cash it wasn't to be. I'm after 300rwhp and that setup would almost get me there.

They do interest free dude, good chance to get mods and pay back in small amounts, although if you get behind very high interest!!!

Whats a full defilipo system and tune worth these days? Cost me $3300 a little bit back.

the guys had a bathurst special on.. tune plus defilipo cat back dual 2.5s for $1530... tune costs $990 so that's a very cheap price for a mild steel defilipo cat back system. Was gonna do the interest free loan thing but have got too much money going out at the moment otherwise I'd have done it!

Nice ride. One word of advice; never say im after a certain amount of power. Reason being, once you reach that you will want more.c :yeah:.
When i purchased my car (235kw), i wanted 260kw (mate has a vx clubby 255), then i said 300kw was a nice even number (very easy on a ls1). Now i have changed my mind, after achieving this i still want 300; but rwkw.

recent HP addition

Most recent horsepower addition is my 100mm MAF pipe. Good for 8kw and only 80 bucks. Same as the HSV GTS one and a helluva lot cheaper too! Definate throttle response improvement... money well spent.

gotta get me an LSD and cop suspension. 3.9s? nah too tall for highway in an auto. I'll be looking at maybe a 3.5 or 3.7. Before anything i'll be getting a dyno mafless tune as I'm power hungry. OTRCAI will come later.

hey, really nice berlina.
ordering upgrade parts before you even got it.. good dedication.
you won't be dissapointed with an exhaust and retune... but it only lasts so long.... before you know it you'll be back for more power... :yeah:

mmmm 3.9's.. that'd be nice..
Don't ls1 berlinas have factory lsd's?
If it does, but has started single spinning, try replacing the gear oil.. worked for me.
