WELL DONE. Sounds awesome. Can't wait to see either of them in the flesh - wonder if I could blag a ride????

I liked the black wheels - what were they - won't they match the matt black of the car better??

Monster-Mat · March 29, 2004

the black rims were the std ones .........

kev dood · March 30, 2004

Question for you Mat. Y did u opt to go dual exhaust? i cant imagine the weight-to-hp ratio being better then with just a single. But u know a lot more, im just being curious george.

good question , well presented.

well i ditched the factory exhaust, removed the centre exhaust box, originally it was one small one but this made the car 2 loud at idle , using the Db measurement allowance for race cars........

so the only option was to go with twin set up, however the new twin set up with 2 small rear box's and no middle box weighs about the same as the full normal system

CRIKEY..................

just done a search for these wheels....................some how i think i am defo getting the better end of the Solid gold stick here.

a swap for my std is200 rims on the race car for these.........

ultra rare, lightweight racing 3 piece split rims, selling for around $3000......

will be kinda a shame to put them on the race car.........i mean look at that polished lip
