Cheers Sam! I've got UAS CAI and Engine Pipes (http://www.uniqueautosports.com/) and a 3" exhaust. Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres that's about it really. It's a GPX with TIP box.

Yeah, I used to have a girlfriend too, but now I don't, hence the tyres and my car finally on the track!

Freakin rubber aint cheap! Just got quoted $290 a tyre for semis.

My Eagle F1's are $320 per corner. Have you tried Beaurepairs Parramatta? Mention the FTO club for mates rates.

Sorry, also Titanium spark plugs and I use Redline Gearbox fluid. Fecking expensive at almost $50 per litre and you need about 7 liters if I remember right but it makes a massive difference to the gear change speed. I always run Shell Optimax.

I had GTST's all 3 times. First 2 runs I was against the same guys, see the video. Last one I was against a 12second GTST so I let him go.

Hahaha... no girlfriend anymore either...

Was in relationship when i bought my fto... then we broke up... a week later was when i bought the turbo kit... lol... muhahaha


I cant wait to jump on the strip... hopefully next to some sky.line and give him a bit of a surprise.... lol... Considering an NA POWER sticker on my windscreen.. lol.... considering my BOV opens at any more than 2,000rpm, i dont think many people would believe it...

LOL I had a 9 second running blown VL, then a 12 sec running GTR then a VS dunnydore that I almost caught.

The VL waited till I had a 6 second start then barked up onto one wheel & roared past me on the line

The last GTST I was against gave me nealy 3 seconds and beat me by .5
