Thanks Boris, I'll be looking to get the Rspec black wheels I bought colour matched to my standard GT grey wheels I think

Are these genuine ones you bought; or them fakies I've seen on gumtree/ebay?

I rekon paint your panda eyes to be black to suit the rims....proper panda styles always looks good to me

Genuine rears Pete, wouldn't buy the fake copies personally.

^^^Lucky! How much did you pay? $1K+? You can PM me if you don't want the world knowing lol

And yeah...I was about to ask what you thought about them (the fakies); as the seller seems to say all the right things like 'lifetime warranty' and '850kg rating' and what not, but surely they can't be any worse than rota rims or other fakies out there....

I spoke to someone who thinks the seller is the same guy who sold the dark argents in 20's...and this guy said he only read of 7 cases on the forums of cracked or buckled argent rims; but out of the hundreds of sets he probably sold, that doesn't seem like such bad odds Plus I rekon most cases were over east with their sh1thouse potholed roads which would probably be enough to damage any sets of 20's

In case anyone missed the thread, cruise is on tonight, meeting 9:30pm, possibly earlier if someone can suggest a food joint. Check out the thread!

So my Baby turned 237 last night !

The dirty old GSXR turbo turned out 323hp at 13psi on Methanol.

So I'm stoked with the result !

The old Shinko rear tyre wasnt so impressed with the whole ordeal though.

But that's okay because I had the new Shinko slick fitted today.

Yeh I am pretty happy, my new VF came with forged wheel 8.5 and 9 rear 245 and 275. Not bad considering it isnt a HSV

Heh yeah, and more than your average V8 commie.

The other cool thing it does is on the two step limiter.

The tuner told the computer that when the launch button is in and the throttle is +90%, that there is nitrous going in.

When this happens, he told the computer to retard the timing and dump a heap of fuel in.

Resulting in this when I'm staging .......

Yeah those Redlines are pretty good value for money, all things considered. Shame it doesn't come with paint or have enough power to spin those 275's though...
