Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 8m 25d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 31/12/11 07:31 AM Author Share Posted 31/12/11 07:31 AM Hey Dillz,Is your G6ET your daily? If I had my time again, I wouldn't have modified my FG and bought second car as a project..Just find no matter how much I modify and spend on my FG, there is always something else that breaks or needs fixing... Would not have worried me normally however, being my company car and having it off the road from time to time does get frustrating..Yeah mate, and that's my logic now too.What's the point in having an expensive newer model when your probably going to break everything and replace it anyway.

It's worked for me for around 60,000k's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know of a TT LS1 using them making 600rwks. 35000ks and still going strong. And again that price is nuts, he paid $1500 for 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do stronger rods put more stress on the engine or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
