and got rid of the way to harsh greenstuff pads in favour of some ate parts being fitted
lots more planned inc fitting some kent cams i have had sat waiting to go in 1 of the cars ...
also complete suspension upgrade to allow posibility of trackdays next year ....
looking for a set of lowered springs at the mo ?? if anyone can help please pm me ..
also the current wheels will be off the vehicle and available to buy shortly ..
all comments suggestions as what what to do next ?? welcomed ..

Beautiful car. You didn't mention this in your list of mods but I happened to notice that your front brake calipers look to be dual piston units and the brake discs are drilled and slotted. Can you give us some details? I've already swapped my Cat's front calipers for 2004 GTO (Monaro) units. I also installed dimpled and slotted Brake Performance discs. A big improvement over stock. So powerfull that if I really stand on them the ABS triggers. What do you think of yours?
I'm curious about the throttle body mod you mentioned. Over here in the US performance mods to our Catera are hard to come by. Is this something we could do to the TBs ourselves or are some Vauxhall parts needed? I hate to pry into your performance secrets but any info would be helpful.

thanks for the comments mate ...
i believe the brake calipers are the standard item ???
discs are mintex (fitted by previous owner ) but tbh think may have a brake issue as doesnt seem be as strong as id like ???(another thing on the list of things to get sorted )
as for modded bods mate prefer not to disclose the excact method i use to improve them as taken a lot of time and effort to get to the results i can achieve nowadays ...
the process i do involves a complete strip down and then rework / flow and then rebuild using new bearings etc as required ....
hth cheers al :)
