Ewaaaah Member 38 Member For: 13y 3m 2d Gender: Male Posted 16/11/11 11:14 AM Share Posted 16/11/11 11:14 AM Hey guys!! I just thought I would start my first little thread for our GS Brethren out there for general updates, what fits what doesn't, hints and tips comparison of mods dramas and so forth. (I hope this is in the right section!) So I will lead the way!! I picked up my GS last Friday as I traded my fg XR6T 50th anniversary, after just one drive in this machine I was hooked and I loved it. The car is standard and still under 3000km and after some direction I now have a K&N filter on the way up from Herrod Motorsport, and still have the SCT X3 ready to go from my last machine. I have been told to let the engine run in before the I take her in for the tune, but I dont know how reliable that info is?! I have also replaced the original wheels with some VCD 20's on low profile which I think suits this car better than the last one!! I am yet to take her down the strip, as I would like to see an exhaust, tune and intake to then shake it up! On the exhaust, has anyone seen those ones with the remote to silence the noise and open it up for performance and are they any good? any way here are some pics of my machine.

Have a look over on ford forums for some discussion on guys disconnecting the vac lines to the system to leave them on full noise all the time. If you really wanted the remote function I'd look into a cheap way to isolate the vac line that is already in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im up in townsville Howsee, which im not sure if the heat kills the performance up here, but im guessing that it would.
