Looks great AUS.

Lovely wheels. Would look better IMO if it was an inch lower on those 'shoes'.

:thumbsup:
Thanks :cheers:

I already have that organised, just waiting on someone upgrading to coils so I can take their springs

I always thought it needed lowering from looking at photos, but now that I have my car I think it already looks very low and sleek in real life.

Springs should fix the floaty handling though

Thanks for the feedback Matt.

I think 40 mm lower is too low, and that 25 mm lower would be around the mark. I must admit that that these views are based on internet photos and no real life experience.

Mine arrives in October (from what I know so far), so I'll make the decision then. :headbonk:

My favourite and best case Magnetic setup is the one the belongs to [MENTION=22971]bigdave03svt[/MENTION]

[MENTION=14692]Aus-MustangGT[/MENTION] 's DIB is the best in that color I've seen !

So my car was retuned today and I had Blue Power Racing Install their own cold air intake. They created this CAI themselves and I am very impressed with how the car performs. It gained 10rwkw (12rwkw if you include the original gain from the AEM panel filter) from the stock box.

If anyone is buying an US intake I would suggest that they have a look at these first, there have been issues with the US CAIs causing power loss stalling etc. However this is on a case by case basis.

Attached are the pictures of the CAI and also dyno charts of my progress so far, the car feels very different to stock and I am extremely happy with the progress

They really do, I'm testing it for them. The iat's rise in traffic just like any open top airbox but when you get moving it drops very quickly which is in part to the placement of the filter and also the material that's been used to make these.

In the next few weeks I might alter the the side honey comb or change the grill to see how that affects iat's and performance. They made me test drive the car before they told me the figure, from driving it I honestly thought it was pushing more than what the dyno said and to me that's what it is about.

My tyres were too good for the dyno and were squirelling around a bit. Great street tyres don't like steel rollers apparently.

Overall a 27rwkw gain from cai, catback and tune is quite impressive but it pulls like a freight train now, I'm very happy

Very impressive. I really like the placement of the filter, did you jump on the group buy for the VelossaTech Big Mouth? I'm thinking that would complement this intake design nicely when I'm ready to do CAI & tune

I didn't as I was thinking about the roush bumper, but I probably should have jumped on it!

So I have finally updated all my previous posts so that the pictures are attached.

I am at around 5,500km at the moment and everything is going well, my car will be going in for a retune and to test out a new cold air intake in the next few weeks. Happy to see if I get additional gains over what I am running stock.

I also have GT decklid and a GT lower grille waiting to be installed but currently I'm considering whether I should buy and run the Roush front fascia

Happy to hear people's opinions!

As I've mentioned previously AUS, love the look, your car looks amazing on those rims.

I'm really happy with the price I've been given for the M350's shipped here to Victoria by Paul at [MENTION=11685]Need4SpeedMotors[/MENTION] , so I'll pull the trigger on those soon.

AUS can I ask what tyres / sizes you're running on your beauty please ?

My bad [MENTION=14692]Aus-MustangGT[/MENTION] I see you're running Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tyres 275's up front and 295's at the rear.

Have you had any issues at all fitting the wheels / tyres, and had to make any adjustments to the standard suspension settings ?
