Hey Peter,

Awesome kit, I'll be picking up a G8 as soon as they hit the showrooms. I'd be interested in this kit so if you can PM me when it becomes available here I'd appreciate it.

Also, not to get sidetracked, but would you be able to get your hands on a set of those 20" HSV wheels to ship over here?

No that's a Holden HSV. G8 will have similar lines, just not the radical front bumper like that.

Looks great Peter! Any underhood pics? I am trying to talk my mom into a G8 but after riding in my car, I don't think she will be up for TT anytime soon. She liked it but said it was too much power! Me, I think I got used to it cause it feels totally normal to me! Thanks for putting out such great kits! I have over 4,000 miles (in just over a month) on mine so far with no issues and lots of smiles!

Peter here's a question. What type of dyno do you guys use over there? I've noticed that your stock vehicle dynos are low by 20+ hp/tq.

On the dyno graph it says dyno dynamics which is a load (non inertial) dyno.

god, a twin turbo kit. Before the actual car. I love how much anticipation this car is generating. I cant wait to get a gray on red/black. But since i HAVE to have a manual, ill have to wait for a while. ill work on buying this first i guess.
