Lol...

Yeah it looks the goods. Twin tip exhaust is nice.

I changed my Blitz canon to a twin tip magnaflow and loved the look and sound.

Sadly I sold my 33 4door today...

Nice work dude, always good when you achieve something like that without f**king everything up :) but why generic old carbon wrap? so many different cool options around

It was just a trial run, really. Its only the cheap autotechnica stuff. I thought the dark bonnet would look alright on the white.

What other options do you mean?

Don't get me wrong. Carbon is nice,but every second Commo has a black or carbon bonnet. :verymad:

I had a 3M Brushed metal on mine......but it kinda looked like primer from a distance, still loved it though. Hard to get a good photo of with a phone.

Me and a couple of mates had a crack at vinyl wrapping my bonnet, turned out pretty good for a bunch of amateurs

I had my wing blade and end caps wrapped a while ago, the only thing I didn't like was the Matte look. Might be a case of each to their own, but I wonder if you sprayed gloss over the top (maybe even some clear Vinyl) if it would get that nice wet carbon look.

Looks pretty good for an Amateur job, wouldn't be upset running that at all

^Work D9Rs?

I wish, they're a Rota P1-R.

I definitely wanted front dish, but with the Gtst's narrow guards and "lumpy" front caliper, I wasn't sure if an D9R would clear at the front in a 9.5 wide rim. The +12 offset may have cleared? But then I may as well have got a 18x10+18 XD9 with the amount of guard work/camber that would have been required.

If it turns out that the D9R clears the front caliper in a 18x9.5+23, that will become an incredibly popular wheel choice for Gtst's in the year to come, for sure.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
