Location: An island off southern Tasmania.		Decided last week to fit the GT-XA bonnet scoops as per the TMR380 show car.

Also decided to get it done professionally, should be ready tomorrow will post some pics if anyone is interested?

It will look similar to this...only much better...

I have positioned them much closer so to not have to cut the bonnet safety structure and to actually cool the supercharger instead of just vents for show....


Cost is not cheap cause they will be spraying both guards for a perfect paint match.....

Location: An island off southern Tasmania.		Just driving around today it seems everyone around me was burning up tyres...

I didn't lose traction even once, the extractors had a weld fall apart amd it was so damn noisy i had to feather it all the way from Tullamarine airport to Geelong.

(must have been loud outside though even at light throttle, the break was just near the join of the two headers.)

It must be sending some sort of message?

Hope it doesn't become a police magnet...
