DESTRO I know its fun to go fast but seeing as you don't know much about cars, I would really focus on the styling make it look nice, the thing about wanting "the complete package" performance and looks is that they tend to clash. E.g. coil overs and body kit, great handling but kit tends to get bashed and battered. since this is going to be your first car and most likely going to be hassled by cops, go for the looks, lower with just springs (trying to keep the ride as smooth as possible) don’t go crazy with the mags, invest in a VERY good car alarm, and get some serious ice. Do most of it your self with help from forums like this one, and you will have fun driving and learning about your first car. And if you get a body kit learn to repair fibreglass and paint cos your first car will take a bit of punishment.

yeh i understand. i dont really want to change the engine at all im happy the way it is but yeh i just wanted to make it look nice, i just had a 18 year old mate of mine die at st lucia 2 weeks ago raceing cause his car was way 2 powerfull for him. i dont exactly want to cark it myself :/

I just find it interesting on how the mechanics and mods work on engines ect, all my uncles and friends went into the mechanics field for work where i went into the fitness so im kind lost when they all talk this type of stuff... so if u can help me with my car ill help u with ur gym work out :O

so atlest on a forum you can read it in ur own time and explain it when ever you like and i can read the definitions or the name and look up what they do so when they talk about this stuff and when you guys talk about it i dont sit in the corner with a blank face and go ahh yeh righty o

hope that all makes sense

Cool, that’s great; you should come to the dinners and meet more people. you know there are dedicated sites for car audio and other things but one of the best sites i found for help and great write ups is www.redlineau.com read the older post in the forum cos the newer ones are just about them flamin each other :/

You can ask them for help and they will help you out in very easy to understand terms. he he he

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
