Was it anyone on here? What did you have done?

There's an Astra CDx on the Walkinshaw Performance (http://www.walkinshawperformance.com.au) web page. (Have a look under projects.)

Well spotted Nem.

Well if you get what you want, and you can afford it there's probably nothing wrong with them doing it - I'm sure other shops might be cheaper but you run a risk of someone hacking up your car. I wonder what warranty they give or if your original still stands.

You know what I like to see are those V8 or V6 aftermarket-supercharged Commodores or Calais with the small special badges - they go!

Yeh a mate of mine had his VZ Monaro tuned by Harrop. Done everything from engine to suspension and brakes. It's one very nice car. Amazing that just the LS1 Edit re-tune pushed power from 260kw to 290kw without any other modifications.

Spoke to a Rep from Walkinshaw @ Oran Park on Sunday. They have yet to Modify a new SRi Turbo but they should be getting on from Holden and they will be doing so in the next few weeks.

They told me a An Exhaust Suspension (Two Options) and 18 inch BBS rims will be avaliable SRi T.. They tell me for the VXR they will Have a an Exhaust but wont be the Milltek i was hoping for due to cost. But there will be the AP brake for the VXR and Other mods to follow.

They will offer the Pack for the AH SRi T as a Track pack or Indvidual items.
