For example, the front strut bar was considered a mod during one of the inspections! I had to remove it otherwise I would have needed an engineering cert for it! Obviously, I put it straight back on after the inspection

I am thinking about a brake upgrade though but it must fit inside my present 17 inch wheels.
Anyways - you said you have probably 400ish HP? I am still wondering about mine - I'm thinking it must be Stage 1 as just looking into the engine bay it has a 3 inch Scorpion exhaust, green injectors, Turbo Technics 10623 turbo, Piper Cams and interestingly, an extra multi connector for the distributor side connection. The rocker cover is BLACK - is it true that certain tuners painted the covers as a sign of their work?
The car goes ballistic at 3600 revs which is great

Up to that point it is a boggo 2.0 litre from the 80s! I will have a look in the ECU for a newer chip when I get the chance.
Cheers
Hi, it sounds like it has been upgraded, a decent rolling road set up will tell you what power it is putting out, but not sure if there are any places where you can get it done near where you live? The black painted rocker cover is not something I have heard of from a particular tuner,. My wheels are 17inch and my big brake set up sits inside them ok. Have you tried any Aussie brake companies to see if they do a kit for your car? cheers Richard.
