5 speed and 130,000kms. Sounds like a Really good base to start with.
I recon Lowered and exhaust as you mentioned plus ef tail lights, maybe some FTR wheels and lose the mudflaps. Extractors also if your budget allows

ok well heres the short for qld on reds you can only have 1 non family passenger under the age of 21 between the hours of 11pm and 5am and cant drive 200+rwkw V8 or forced induction (excluding turbo diesels) on greens theres no late night restrictions but power restrictions apply still and thats basically it
