G'day mate

Firstly what do you want to achieve with your car? Do you want it to be a streeter? A cruiser? For show? A sleeper? N/A? Boosted? What's your budget? etc etc

[Lukus_25]

I want it to be a mean streeter first than later blown

[BI6TIM]

It would be a good idea to answer all of Commando's questions for yourself, also where in Brisbane do you live?

[Lukus_25]

How much is a manual conversion and do u have to?? um and a price on sports exhaust and headers

[Lukus_25]

BI6TIM i live in spring hill and i will answer you guys thanks

[Lukus_25]

umm ok i want it to look cool be quick, i want it to be a mean streeter, and i have probley spend around say $3000 on it max. nice car commando by the way!!

[holmsy]

look cool. super low springs and shortened shocks. $500 ish and rims makes it stand out as a modded car.
be quick. extractors, exhaust, cam, chip, intake, diff, histall, shift kit( if stays auto). (depending how much ya do depends on cost)
to have good looks and go good etc it can cost ALOT.
18inch rims with rubber are easy $1200
springs can be had for $100 second hand if ya look around. shocks a guess at $300 up to over a grand
extractors can be found for less. but new pacemakers are for memory $350-450 (i cant remember exactly)
2.5inch exhaust can be had from $250 new from memory (if ya look around)
cam can get a regind cam for $130 plus fitting.
chips/ecu can be anywhere from $200-$2000
diff can be had for $250 plus fitting

as ya can see it all adds up pretty quick.
but there is people that do it pretty cheap by knowing people and finding bargains and doing all the work ya self to save labour cost.

also depends on your tastes.

Geez

happen to read his post where he pretty much did answer all the questions?
problem is you dont think or read

[stalker]

yea even i noticed he answered all the questions, but Holmsy have a good list, extractors and exhaust makes a good difference to the car, i would recommend that as one of your first mod

[naz0]

Got any photos of your car? Exhaust is the first thing i put on, i had my car for a week and it was on and just brought some extractors (thanks kev). But dont rush into it there is plenty of time and keep an eye out for cheap parts.

[holmsy]

yeh to start with i would go (and did)
extractors and 2.5inch exhaust.
clear front and side indicators
and lower it.

but get some pics up.

[stalker]

yea ive done all that but lower it, instead its getting converted to a manual :p
