Thanks guys, I so wished we could get his gear up here would make life so much easier.
DBL15 just noticed the 12.4 which car was this in and what have you done to it, also noticed that Elite was the tuner, I live southside so these guys would be good for me I've heard that they are the gun guys up too, how do you find them.Do you know if they do just normal services , just don't really trust the ford guys.
Thanks Mick.

Fitting an airbox is basic, if you can use a screw driver and a spanner your right to go.

I use Elite Auto Motive as well, The guys there are amazing, To the point that even my better half will take our car there and understand what they are doing, Paul, the owner will listen to what you want to do with your car and give you the options and let you decide, No Pressure. Also, you have to try one of Jo's cappicino's. just one of the perk of going in for a chat.

I couldnt recommend them enough. Awesome service and attention to detail, & I am sure that anyone who goes there will agree.

I beleive that Darrens 12.4sec was in his ute, the GTP isnt a track car (yet )

Hey Chris thats fine mate I know what its like we are flat out at work too at the moment so I appreciate your response. Great to hear that Elite are going to be distributing your gear, also makes my question of are they good quite invalid.
QIK006 thanks for the response mate and again my fears are set to rest, I have been there but I was in a work ute but being as as I am, how does your cars go getting up and down the rather large kerb out the front, if your lowered that is.Hey you don't happen to know what Darren has done to it do you?
XRQTOR thanks but it was more a matter of getting one of Chris's air boxes up here could send for one but easier if I could get one up here.

umm yep its supercharged 440RWHP and you will have no problem at all for Elites Driveway

yes they do all services from log book to special mods plus much more talk to Paul and his team they are true ford guys

thanks Chris i got told that from Paul that you were sending him up some boxes i better put my hand up for 1

oh yeh the ute is the drag/track car

the GTP is for cruiseing and will stay mostly standard

Thanks DBL15, those damn supercharges, did you fit this up yourself or did you get Paul to do it, I want to try to get into the 12's without supercharging, although probably cost me as much to do that as it would for the supercharger.My younger brother is very good with this sort of stuff (fitting up supercharger) and we have a mate that has his own tow truck so I could tow truck it to Paul's to have it tuned after fitting,hang on I think I'm talking myself into one.It all comes down to the dollars in the end, my way I can do it bit by bit no huge outlay in one hit. :
