Yeah that color is awesome! and the cam package would be def interesting to see
yeah read an email from a fellow JCC member that specified
"I can suppy you 4 brand new billet cams that I turn over in the engine to
double check & insure that all the valve events are spot on when these 4
cams are fitted in your engine on the std timing marks from Holden.They can
be fitted by a A grade Mechanic for I charge $1250 to fit 4 cams
because it takes around 14 hrs but check Holden dealer for a Quote for they
may under quote the job to you to your advantage if you supply the parts
simply Drive in Drive out
The gain is proven to 30 to 40 rwhp gains on our 2 wheel drive vehicles.
The cams measure to have 225 degrease of duration @ .050 lift & MAX lift of
444 thou (std 185 @.050 & 410 thou lift.
The price is $2550 inc GST & FREIGHT to your door."
seems cheap and would be a good match for the intake manifold they sell, capable of reving out to 9g after an intake, cams and tune

brakes are fitted and bedded in they make a huge difference i actually have a brake pedal that doesnt hit the floor when you push it lol and no more brake fade either, still a little bit of a smell when i give them a hard time thou but the best thing is NO MORE BRAKE DUST dont have to clean mags as often next on the list will be new Konig hotswap mags with red inserts (current CSA's have a slight buckle on the inside wall and they wobble like crazy on smooth roads)

had the brakes installed by brake point in Coffs Harbour, My family has been going to them for years they have great customer service and drop you home or to a chosen destination when you drop your car off, a simple phone call to them will see them pick you back up when your car is ready

got a set of 20's trial fitted on friday the bloke fitted a tyre to a set of mags i liked and fitted it to see how it looked and how i would go tucking 20's under my already full with 18's gaurds, they were perfect even without rolling the gaurds
its a crappy small phone picture but will get the photos the owner of the shop took when i get a chance and upload themn
the black rim with the chrome lip complients the chrome strip running the length of my car
only problem i do have is how small it makes my brakes look and sorry about the dirty car as i mentioned i live on a dirt road

thanks i wasnt looking at these mags at first i was looking at another set of 20's
we didnt know if we could squeeze them under the gaurds thou cause the 18's filled so much of the gaurd as it was
he put these rims on and i liked em they are about 600 bucks cheaper than the advanti mags i was looking at :hottub:
woodi

VZCalais
27-07-2010, 07:35 PM
yeah mate i couldnt believe how easy it was to tuck them
i gotta get the gaurds rolled and cut the first screw out of my rear bumper so when i have passengers it doesnt scrape
