Article is pretty fair (not totally accurate..) and well written. Very pleased with the Magazine as they have delivered everything they promised and were good on the day too.

I like the yellow/black colour combination. It suits the car very well.

Wow, the bottom shot has been touched up quite a bit eh?

The racelogic looks great, how long have you had it? Where did you get it fitted & how much (if you don't mind me asking)?

The under car lighting makes the cars look like they are hovering.

Oooh, tinted windows..

I've always wondered what they'd look like on mine. What % tint do you have on yours?

The only other Monaro I've seen with tints is BO55's and that just looks the dogs..

Racelogic I have had since September 06 and thing it was around the 1695 mark. Makes the car very safe in all conditions as it dials from 0 to 25% slip - in this weather I can be confident flooring it, Tiler also has it in his. Fitted at Picador by Wortec.

Window tints are one down from limo and apart from looking good (black and yellow) stop glare from following cars.

Oh, and yes I do wish I had cleaned my engine.....

PPC is a great mag - just like the old days of CCC....but

spelling is dire - the lancia delta inteRgrale - FFS! where did the R come from - it isnt as if it is in big writing down the side or anything!

sorry ex integrale owner rant over...

i can safely say if you encounter a evo on a twisty road and its 300bhp plus - it will kick a monaros ass big time - even more so if its damp!

you may be interested to here that the 'grales engine expired the following day! 300bhp is about the safe max for a 'grale. Thats why i use the gts as an everyday car!

Surely most well handling cars with a lot less than 300bhp on a twisty road would kick a Monaros arse!

i wasnt too sure about yellow but that looks tidy, thinks it the wheels that make it look that much better. shame about them fried eggs for indicators, get rid

getting rid of the indicators is a bit of a pain in the ass, its not just a 5 min bulb swap, you've got to prepare and paint the plastic holders or the reflection off the orange plastic still shows. So its like 2 quid for bulbs and 12 quid for plastic primer and silver paint. Does look quite good though I say so myself. I didn't bother with primer - just kept saturating the holders in silver until enough stuck to cover them
