Lucky enough to get a sneak peak at the RED BARON last night, it's lower, meaner and sporting a tough new set of tips out the back that sound and look pure magic.
I'm sure Brad will get some pics up soon.

Will get some pics up next week Leigh after a visit across the border to get some nice "stoppers".

Car looks great now with the Pedders Springs dropping it about 25mm and the 3 1/2 inch tips out the back.

Cheers

Hi Brad, I bet it looks good lowered....interesting to see how your car launches now with the suspension changes.
does it pull a easier Smokey?
i am considering the color Vixen for my BF when i order it...
I got some big Brembo's from our new site sponsor Furntree Gully auto salvage, came off a 11,000klm GT-P. it got boned very hard..

Mark, it looks great a bit lower....it will be interesting to see how she launches now, haven't really had the chance to do ant "spirited driving" yet as I only got in done on Monday.

Vixen is good, however under certain light it looks a bit orange. Still think Venom was the best Red.

Can't wait to get the Brembo's....the bid red callipers will match the car nicely.

Cheers

Brad

Hi Brad,

They do look 1oo% better lowered dont they only had my car a week and then had it lowered and im glad i did.

What size tips does the system come with standard, i will probally get the big tips put on. They look fantastic on Doc's car.

Seems every man and his dog are getting the brembo's, once i get my car back that'll be the next thing to go on..........Then it's only seats and rims to do, then i'll see what the BF range brings.

Brembo's aye Mark, shouldn't have any problems pulling up in a hurry now. Must have been a huge hit to that GT-P to bend it like it did, it actually cracked the block : .

Hi Leigh, the brembo's are not going to be fitted to my Ute.
There going on my BF, saved over $3k on upgrade price and i can sell the standard FPV brakes when i get the new car, Brembo's will end up costing me around $1750.

The GT i should took a picture of it, i hope there was no one in the passenger side, it took the big hit.

Oh i thought they were going on the ute. I must say the brakes were fairly cheap i even considered them myself, big hit is an understatement that was a huge hit. I saw the pics and it's bent like a bannana, 9o clicks + i rekon.
