Just had a quick google search. Here is it if your interested

Thanks heaps.......looks good...will factor in postage and painting etc and see if a DIY / fabrication option is more feasible.

Update:

Bought a stock boot lid off Jarrad ( :thanks: ).

Project GT wing has begun !! WOOOHOOO!!

Also....earlier this evening Aaron from Westy's Warehouse went out of his way to fit and balance my new tyres and finish everything today itself - absolutely sensational service and top bloke.

..and....I will not need that spoiler on there...so if anyone wants it....it is for sale..chuck me an offer.

Very very productive day so far.

Woke up bright and early with the sun streaming in. Just knew it was going to be a warm one. Polished up my new Ganadors and proceeded to install them (you know your obsessed when you start car stuff before brushing your teeth!!)

First step: remove door trims...

Passenger side: Three screws down at the bottom of the door panel. One screw inside the little plastic pocket thing and one screw underneath the passenger side handle / arm rest.

Drivers side: Three screws down at the bottom of the door panel. One screw under the switch plastic panel.

Both sides door release plastic surrounds need to be pried off.

Then remove plastic triangle to reveal three bolts holding mirror in place. Remove and unplug mirror. Plug Ganadors in, secure wire and put it all back together. Did not get a picture of the mirrors...but will post some when I do the photoshoot (sometime soon)

Then started fabrication work / planning for the GT wing project.

Tried...but got more love from pete who gave me some suspension tips..the tall dude whos name i cant remember who chatted for ages about his big block chevy and new zealand and the most from rob the alignment guy who everyone seems afraid of...lachlan was probably having an off day...lol....overall a good experience

New rims set it off nicely. Cant wait to see the boot DIY you got going on

I LOVE THEM TO BITS...... :wub:

Just needs a fraction more aggressiveness on the rears...which I will achieve as soon as I get the guards rolled.

Yeah the wing is a radical idea to say the least....I am hoping it pays off !!

Keeping with the stealth look under the hood I swapped pod filters this afternoon.......

Engine bay still needs major sprucing up and is only quarter way done...with the rocker covers next on the list for a nice black refresh !!

Getting some Whiteline swaybars next......24mm and 22mm front and rear respectively...adjustable. Thoughts / suggestions / anything I need to know??

Reliable sources tell me they are possibly the best bang for buck upgrade suspension wise.

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
