They were GTO's and very much beyond being put back on the road!! The blue one that was in has been talked about before but ive yet to unearth the owner of it.

I managed to get some original Bridgeston Potenza REO4's as I wanted to keep the tyres the same front and rear.
I believe Bridgestone have updated them with REO5's now.

Hello chaps.

I'm afraid to say that I was the guilty party.
My blue CV8 was in getting the wilwood rear brake kit fitted and a few other bits of general stuff.

Custom headers and pipes at the start of april too

Haha finally the man appears lol

Been wondering whose car it is, was good to finally see the wilwood front kit that Stu has been going on about fitted to your car.

How does it feel with the rears in place?

Amazing mate. Stopping power is incredible with 6 pot fronts and 4 pot rears and now the rears are done it's stopped the brake dive I was getting a bit of under rigourous workouts!

Interesting to hear, didnt think the rear kit would make much of a noticeable difference.

Anymore mods planned?
