Yeah mate... It is, although some of the engine dress up stuff and a few other bits should be interchangeable with the FG.

Let me know what it might be that your keen on and ill find out for you!

Car went to Malaga springs and suspension today, supposed to replace worn power steering rack bush $140 job.... Nek minnit- roll out of there with Bilstein adjustable shocks all round, power steering rack bush and inner lower control arm bushes upgraded... I have a bad habit of doing this sorta sh*t. Haha any of you boys got these shocks? Feedback?

Steve when are you running a cruise next?

Close, but the other two were the light orange colour. Mine was the only sunburnt. But what were the odds of all 3 of us meeting up at the same place?

One of them was not turbo

Octane is the other FG orange, Kice had it. It's more a flat colour.

Yeah a bit slack on cruises lately sorry guys, Racewars was enough for me for March/April. Nice work getting suspension done Josh (and bushes!), hope the car is looking shmick again too? Was spewing to see that handbrake related remodelling hey.

I'm busy Sunday (can't make the Perth Falcons York cruise) and all next weekend from Friday to Monday so can't run anything until May really. I'll start a thread up now and make a poll for dates!

Nice one. You will need a front swaybar if you still have stock one to really stop the rolling feeling from what I've found with my new shocks and springs.

I was asking Colin a guy that's been working there for years about sway bars and said I wouldn't need them... Yet I was keen to find out more about them and possibly get a set... Have u got sway bars mate? If so What sizes? Does it just eliminate body roll?

Don't have upgraded ones, only stock sway bars. I would like to get a 27mm non adjustable whiteline in the front, to combat the wobble when rapidly steering side to side. The car still negotiates roundabouts much better than before but I'd like sharper rapid steering. My shocks are Koni Reds on softest setting (adjustable off car) only a couple of months old now (King springs).
