Was awesome to get out cruising last night mate - your beast sounds unreal. What's the details on the exhaust system?

First motorkhana down with the new brakes super impressed in go to whoa was braking pretty much in line with mates focus rs didn’t place very well for the weekend but had a ball none the less tyres are getting on a fair bit now also found the front end rubber McKay bushes are already shot after a couple of years and minimal driving

Heading down the SuperPro route this time after not having much faith in rubber

It is a shame that the McKay ones are no good. I just fitted them to my front end as I am trying to keep it looking original.

have just finished up rebushing front end with superpro bushes yet to get an alignment but feels way better also fitted up a kmac rear sway bar all that along with the new front brakes car is becoming alot nicer to drive 

Holden HQ HJ HX HZ WB to AU2 298mm Brake Upgrade Hubs, Calipers, Brackets & Brake Lines KIT 5X120.65 link for the brake package i went for was super budget friendly for what you get all up cost me about 1k 

also have finished off fitting the nitrous kit yet to get it dialed in but should make next years racing return exciting 

 

would love to have raced with nitrous this year but due to getting married next march ive decided i dont want to thrash on it before wedding if i can help it so just light cruising until then will try find some photos of all the latest goodies

Love your work Ryan. Front-end re-bush, sway bars, and brake upgrade are all items on my own to-do list, haha! Your brake kit sounds awesome.

 

Once the wedding's done, can't wait to hear how you go with the nitrous.
