Hey mate welcome to the club....

What are "Pro Race" rims, and why would you not go for a wider rim? 17x8 is stock BBS size.

6 years and no mods? Was this a lease vehicle?

Thanks Kid, i have read the forums as a guest before.
Pro Race is a british wheel check the link Team Dynamics Racing
I know its a stock size but i liked them and it was the size available to me so i went with what I liked I know not really a mod.

Avalancne, no the car was not leased i bought it outright I just never did any mods because i live in Karratha no one here to do stuff on your car and still no 4 wheel dyno to have it tuned. but is changing a bit and i can do the basics as there are a couple mechanics that can handle it

Welcome snakeeyes

Which model Pro Race were you going for ...a few there ?
Also beware I believe if you are going to install a TBE and an intake you will need to get the car tuned...more experienced members will correct me if I am wrong

Have fun

Yes I know it's a pain living up here for things like this but I'll be bringing to Perth to do the tuning.
The Pro race are Team Dynamics Racing

Hey any of you all got feedback in the Blistein PSS9's ?
I heard really good things so I'm giving them a try.
