mdmatt Member 70 Member For: 10y 2m 3d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 10/04/14 02:59 PM Share Posted 10/04/14 02:59 PM (edited) Hi all,Recently picked up a 2008 G6ET with the cashmere leather and the optional 19's. Bought it from my old man with only 45000kms on the clock (got an offer I couldn't really resist)Been snooping around on here checking out performance mods etc and best bang for buck.Well I had it in with Simon @ xtreme ford tuning today for a full stage 1 kit (id1000 injectors, xcal 3) & herrod CAI.From what I'd read I'd be expecting it to pull around 230-240rwkw stock and 270-280rwkw after the work/tune. Well... She pulled 252rwkw stock and 298.9rwkw after! With 700.5nm torque. I'm really impressed it's awesome. I don't really have any good pics at the moment but will show more on Sunday, it's got Kings SSL's going in the front and SSSL's in the rear with monroe gt shocks.I don't plan on much else yet but will most likely upgrade the intercooler & piping ASAP as I dare say my stock cooler is on its limits now.

mdmatt Member 70 Member For: 10y 2m 3d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 11/04/14 12:08 AM Author Share Posted 11/04/14 12:08 AM Thanks guys.Yeah I got quoted $1450 for a process west cooler so I think that might be the way to go, think I got lucky with the slightly cooler weather at the moment but it'll suffer eventually.Yeah it's so much more responsive now! Breaks traction instantly, off to get new tyres on it today as the cheapo chinese ones I have on the back just won't handle it and sound terrible.Got quoted $384/each 245/35/19 on some bridgestone re002's (rio tinto discount) thought that was fairly good.
