So what type of other modification are you thinking about buying (interior & exterior).


I'm looking at getting an exhaust in the up coming months, otherwise with the car only being DE maybe cams or something?

Definitely need some series 2 tail lights though lol. And eventually respray haha

Do you have any modifications you're gonna do to your ride?

Yeah I have a couple modification planned for my car. I will be put red leather interior (for the seats back and front). For the exterior I am thinking about purchasing a wide body kit. And also Automatic lambo doors.

I think I should have this all done by mid next year.

Yeah looks good, beware drive ways and speed bumps through.....

Yeah I have to slow down quite a fair bit because my suspension is super bouncy haha.

I also have a weird squeak noise coming from the front left... not too sure what it is though lol

Forget the cams - you need a turbo!

But short of that some well made extractors would help...

I would love a turbo but being only 17, insurance would be a pain, along with cert etc haha

I've been recommended to go to Pitstop out at the airport for my exhaust.. got about $700 so that should be enough to give a decent enough system I hope.

Well even though I said I would buy bodykits for my car. Instead I decided I would purchase a Twin Turbo Kit. It will take a week before I get it and probably another week for installation.

I agree with KiwiRS4T, put the money in upgrading the engine, suspension and brakes first.
You can work on its appearance and exhaust later down the track.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
