me personally dnt like the dark agents ay but i like the ones i showed very muchly i want some in 18s for my car but dunno if they make them in pre au anymore

wills88 has em on deesturbed...maybe ask him where he bought his?
or ebay it up!

they would have been my second choice only because the lines along the edge of each spoke annoy me haha (but i stlll think they look awesome wadesta/buttrock.gif )

That i do biggrin.gif

Associated Tyre Wholesalers is Osbourne Park. I got them ages ago but im pretty sure he still has them.

1) buy a 'flash tuner' which is a box, costs about 500-600 and you get to keep, stores 3 custom tunes and your factory tune
2) custom tuning it - take it to a tuner who will load between 1 and 3 custom tunes into it as you ask for, maybe a valet mode etc.
3) installing it, plug it into your OBD port and choose a tune, wait a minute for it to flash in and drive away. swap between them as you please.

ah yes, i understand that now.
so you only have to take the box to a tuner to get a custom tune? or the car and box?

and dont you get a tune with the box?

Gaz- 09-28-2009
car will have to go if you want a good tune as every car is different.

I believe some places offer a 'generic' tune with the box, however it's a bit pointless getting a generic tune if your after more power.

xr8stevo- 09-28-2009
ah yeah.

cheers for that gaz wadesta/thumbsup.gif

now its still save save save

this is the place i'll be ordering mine http://www.shaker.com.au/
im sure they could fit them.

but you have options.
fit it yourself, which they give you instructions to do,
or take it down to any local panel beater and im sure they can do it for around 200 - 400 dollars.
keep in mind for that price you have the peace of mine your not gonna stuff your bonnet haha.

i would say youll clear the 310-330 kw mark which would possible be anything up to 250rwkw. its quite disappointing with these 8s as far a power output per mod goes. i would give the shaker a miss for now and invest in 4:11 gears and get some mean take off happening
