ITG Maxogen Induction Kit
Blueflame Turbo Back Exhaust

Still in the process of purchasing:
Quaife LSD
Forge short shift front and back
Forge short shift left to right
Whiteline Anti lift Kit
Poly Bushes
whiteline ARB's
New Engine mount
Getting these parts from the company that are fitting everything.
Also sold my bbs to my big brother and i am looking at buying wheels just now. So undecided on what to go for but reckon it will be some sort of 19s as the 18 looked a tad small.
Think thats about it for just now, Will keep this updated when i am buying new stuff and getting it all fitted, Should be getting wheels and tyres by the end of the week if i can make a decision lol
Thanks, Ross.
