LA_Phantom 10-13-2006, 08:24 PM It does not matter how many times I look at your ride, I still think it is one good looking automobile.
What's the word on the turbo?

I went down to the shop to go look at someones GTO with the APS TT kit going in, purdy. I really went there to talk to the owner about getting more info on the turbo, which didn't happen. I'll have to talk about it tomorrow via phone or whatever, I think he might have said something about going and looking at it tomorrow (everything is somewhere else being welded together I believe). All I know is befor I agree to anything I got to make sure it's what I want. I want to know what kind of power it's making, what PSI min/max, how loud the fully custom exhaust will be, coated or not coated headers (I will have to coat them if they are not coated, never again will I do non coated... jet/heat coated)... yada yada. I'm only doing the power thing one more time till things start blowing up and I have to replace them lol.
Orbit Orange 10-14-2006, 09:18 AM Hey, I like the FRC's but have you thought of painting the GTO on them black to match?
Also, have you considered the 06 taillamps? Just personally I think they would fit in to your blue and black colorscheme much better than the stock red that sticks out.
Regardless, very nice work. :)
SCgto 10-14-2006, 11:20 AM 05 GTO, I like the staggered wheel/tire combo on your car. What size wheels are you using and what is the offset? Do you have any rubbing/fitment issues with that setup?

If it was up to me I would just shave off the GTO on the FRC's, though they will work till I get some different ones with no writing on them. Also I like my Commodore VX SS tailights.

18's with 40mm front and 45mm rear. With 275's on the rear they will rub.

I know that I should already have the answer to my question (sorry BRMike), but I don't recall. So, I will have to ask...what color is the interior stitching in and IBM GTO with a black interior?

LA_Phantom 10-14-2006, 10:50 PM Bret, I was wondering if you had painted your brake calipers. If so, what color are they?

I don't want the letters "GTO" anywhere on this car. So why would I want to paint the ones on the FRC's red and make the stand out more? :confused:
One day I'll get around to removing ever Pontiac emblem on the car and every "GTO" on the car (yes even the seats). For now making the car go faster is where my money goes.

Not yet Kory, they are just the stock red. When someone other than DBA gets around to making rotors (StopTech plz :)) is when I'll get around to painting them. When I do they will be black or blue to match the car.

so does that mean you need like a 50mm offset in the rear? or less offset, like 40 or something? very nice car btw.
05_GTO 11-13-2006, 01:19 AM You would need more offset. From what I hear a 50-52mm offset would work perfect and wouldn't need any cutting/rolling to the fenders to fit a 275.
