She is a MY06 GT Auto Wagon with the Current Mods:

Blacked out roof rails/Chrome bits

BC Coilovers

Audio
Parrot Mki9000 bluetooth audio etc

To be done soon

Blacked out the chrome bit with plastidip above the number plate, later I debaged 'liberty' to keep it clean

On Monday I went to MSR to have a health check on my car, Mick said it was healthy so gave the all clear for it to be tuned :D
I'm getting mick to install
Exhaust
CAI
Silicone inlet
He thinks this will be a good package for what I'm after, super excited for it to happen.

I love when parts arrive in the Mail!!!

Just picked the car up from MSR after getting the following installed:
Avo Dump
Invidia Catback
Silicone Inlet
Process west CAI
+ TUNE

which resulted in 167.3kw & 591.6nm!! Pretty stoked with the result and would defiantly recommend MSR to anyone!!
Will post the graph in a little

Hows the catback fitting? Is you midpipe flexi section rubbing on anything?
Nice result from the dyno too btw

Catback Fits well! Doesn't poke out the back at all, haven't fully been able to get under the car and have a look but it looks like there are no issues with rubbing on the flex joints.

Car is driving good after the tune, but with modding cars it never stops!!!! and now
The wheel hunt begins, I have a couple in mind and after seeing Mosti running a 9 inch wheel that is defiantly the goal!!

9" may need you to lift your suspension a bit.. but definitely doable.

Yeh was thinking that too, currently talking to Mosti at the moment in regards to how he went about it and it's looking doable!!

Here are some pics of how the car is looking now after the exhaust install and tune etc.

Invidia exhaust, I like the quad tip look on the wagon better than the twin tips!

The dyno results after Mick's work!

The CAI + silicone inlet (excuse the dusty engine bay, went camping and havent got around to it yet)

Loving that intake. Didn't even think to check out what Process West offered. Leaves heaps more space for frontmount piping.
Is there a boost plot further down on that dyno sheet?

Yeh mate, the airbox takes up a tonne of room in the bay!! Here's the boost plot for you, sitting around 16psi
