Hi,

Nice car mate, ROH are a great Aussie company. Tough as nuts wheels, and they look sensational also. I find it funny that not too long ago 17's were considered big rims...

The tein coilovers are fantastic, but I'd imagine you're still having a hard time getting power to the ground? One thing I am wondering though, how are the brakes holding up under a bit of torture? Any plans to upgrade?

Very clean install mate.

Cheers,
Nik

Looks like you'll have to buy a new hood too.

I still get some axle tramp or tyre spin on take off, but the Teins reduced it dramatically over factory! The brakes are good for one, maybe two hard stops.... then you're in trouble I would LOVE to do a simple HSV (AP Racing) upgrade, but I can't find the brakes for a decent price, and I don't really drive my car that hard..... well not all the time

Thanks for all the comments guys

Your car is beautiful. I really like the sub setup in the back. That and the fact that you actually have a trunk

Thanks man. I use that trunk often too, hence the metal bars protecting the sub. The GTO has a decent trunk no?

No. They put the gas tank in the trunk so we have 1/3 what you have.
