Have a 2013 mk2 fg manual Been a lot of fun for the last couple years. Looked into everything I want to do with it and slowly getting around to things. It's my first turbo car so it got a bov very early haha. T3 rotors all round with bendix CT on the front and ultimate on the back. Only got the ultimates cos they came as a good bargain with the rotors. Currently looking into what pads I want to put all round. Works d9r wheels. 18x8.5 all around with invos. So much lighter than stock. Anyone know if they would suit brembos? Earls oil line. Some audio which I'll list what it has after work today. Hopefully some more goodies again soon for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,292 Member For: 16y 10d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/04/16 03:21 AM Share Posted 27/04/16 03:21 AM lookin' fairly slick, mate! My guess is those rims wouldn't fit over Brembo's, but you can always test-fit it on somebody's car who has brembo's The missus drives an FG, too?

When I had the BA XR8 rims, I measured to see how big the gap was. It was around 60 or 65mm from highest points of caliper to the back of spokes (pissed cause I lost the exact measurements when my old phone was wiped). Also like the nitro one in the background lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gearbox sold me. Yeh +38. I'll have a measure and see how it looks. I'll meet with some who has brembos and try it one day haha Damn Centre caps for the wheels were about $120. That sucked haha.

And yeh love the ol nitro....especially on a darkish rainy day....the blue looks killer in lowlight with water beads lol Good luck with the brembo fitment....update if it clears!

So audio in the car is currently. Focal splits 6.5 splits front and 6.5 two way rears. Hertz amps. Hertz 12 subs. Audison digital processor. It does sound awesome but it's still a compromise on sound quality versus having all the stock controls. Stock head unit is just crap haha. Happy with it though. Also general sound deadening in doors without going too crazy cos car is already heavy enough. Optima yellow top aswell for when playing music without the car running. Love that battery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
