Lookin good but I still can't understand why everyone colour codes the red stripes I reckon they set them apart from the rest.

It's your car, an it dose make it look neater, but the stripes make it "pop" I reckon I didn't read properly and thought you were yet to redo them.. Thats my vote anyway  ..

Yeah I like the red strips don't get me wrong at all,
But the red had turned pink. My brother owns a panel/ painting shop so I was like paint these bits for me, and it looks pretty good so ill leve it for the time being..  Looking to get rid of the spoiler, you Reakon I should?!? Anyway, I'm gonna get tyres for the 'EL GT' (copy) rims in the next week or two, Then afterwards I am 100% going to focus on performance mods, I promise!!!  Loving the feed back so far.. Thanks guys |

modded the bonnet vents a little bit to get some air flow, i added some of the black mesh 's**t' from autobahn and i reckon it looks 100 times better than the original crap.

I'd go with the twin tip. Cooler look I reckon...
But if it was mine I'd look into getting a real twin tip setup twin 2-1/4 system custom made.. . That is if you haven't already forked out for an aftermarket exhaust already... (I'm on an iPhone so I can't be bothered trying to look back to see if you mentioned this already sorry..)

Yeah I don't mind the twin tip either,
I'm looking at getting my exhaust done and the rear pipe outlet will be 3". Can't afford custom 2 1/4 twin, I'm to poor. |

Its worth saving for bro, and extra 3 weeks to be able to afford it is well worth it.. have a looks in Micks Garage thread, its big but on there there is a pic of his fairlane with a twin system, that wasnt too rediculous in price either.. and its blow in your pants HORNY!
once u see this you'll want it.. Im gonna get a similar setup done.

Okay finally got my exhaust done,
Kept the EL2 extractors, put 2 x 2.5" (200 cell) cats, 2.5" Y pipe into 1 massive muffler, the 3" all the way out the back. My god it sounds so f**king good, there is no droning at all, I was a bit nervous about droning actually but Stewart at Mr Muffler- Bayswater did an awesome job. Felt a noticeable difference in power aswell My next question is, should I get a tune for the xr8? Friend of mine says it may cause dramas, any tuning places to suggest in south- eastern suburbs of melbourne. EL gt rims being fitted in afew weeks. Thanks |

I don't think a tune is essential/required, maybe just advance the timing a little?
Tunes are more needed when you do cams. Sounds like what I might get for my V8 LTD. Any photos?
