bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 21y 11m 18d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 31/08/03 11:31 AM Share Posted 31/08/03 11:31 AM Well I had a very enjoyable afternoon at the FordvsHolden day.The new Alcon 6 pot calipers, on the PWR car look very impressive, and another option to AP racing calipers for non-factory solutions. At around $5k not cheap, but they should be extremely effective.With regard to Herrod, they will shortly have available a short-shift for the T5 manual (they have run out of stock). ... I think this is a "must have" for the car. They now have an exhaust upgrade available.The GCG car impressed me most .... they have redesigned the whole inlet manifold, and dramatically simplified the whole inlet design, removing around 19 foot of piping. They had a free standing motor showing the convoluted factory piping, which I still find hard to believe. They now have an uprgade package for the T, with 4 stages of upgrade using the XEDE ecu upgrade.Dynosteve was there with his car.... his results to date are a tribute to his vast ability. His car is awesome, and with a dyno reading of 465hp at the wheels from the weekend. Croyden Racing were there, along with David Innal from APS, as Croydens will also be installing the APS kit.Also a good selection of wheels upgrade options, 19" looks like the way to go.brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
