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 :)
