okay thanks i wasnt to sure haha

by **ef6ghia** » January 9th, 2010, 2:05 pm

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

what future plans do you have for it after the power restrictions come off?

by **slickef5speed** » January 13th, 2010, 9:25 am

hmm not to sure, when i get a full time job im thinking supercharged or turbo but i don't know what one haha also i have a slight problem! no brake lights haha fuse keeps blowing after iv put smoked tail lights in and coloured globes in but there the same as the normal ones and iv replaced the fuse but it keeps blowing so i dont know :/

SA has no restrictions.....

by **slickef5speed** » January 13th, 2010, 9:40 am

fair sure where not aloud supercharger,v8,turbo on p's not sure if they have brought it in yet though?..

by **falcon4life** » January 13th, 2010, 9:46 am

does that include green/p2's? up here in qld the only diff between red and green is on green theres no late night driving restrictions

by **slickef5speed** » January 13th, 2010, 10:15 am

ahh yours is a lot different.. lol i dont know how to explain it really

by **falcon4life** » January 13th, 2010, 11:43 am

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

by **slickef5speed** » January 13th, 2010, 3:26 pm

ahhk thats alot diffrent to hear haha,also fixed my tail lights

by **slickef5speed** » February 18th, 2010, 9:36 am
