the dreaded regency......

[eafalc07]

hey guys few weeks ago i got defected for being too low (70mm) haha any way im just wondering is it worth putting standard shocks in or getting a new ea mine is auto by the way and im thinking a manual would be better... any thoughts? and how hard is it to get an ea through regency... thanks

if its to low just change the springs over easy as piss selling it seems a bit extreme considering you only got in trouble for being to low .
go to the wreckers and get some standard ones.

yeah im not worried bout changing the springs over done that many times but im shit scared bout going to regency... anything i should look out for before going there??

Isnt your ea cfi as well? You may be better off selling your ea you have now and buying a multi point 5 speed e series. Or spend money on your cfi its up to you. Cheers.

yeah but whos gonna buy an ea with a canary on the window??

Don't listen to Alesia, she obviously has no clue about what Regency is or how the SA registration process works. It could be hit and miss, you could take it to regency and find it needs a shit load of items replaced, or they may just tell you to fix the ride height and maybe a few other bits and pieces here and there.

Depending on how much you paid for your EA you may be better off to cut your losses and pull any good bits from your current EA (stereo, springs etc etc) than buy a 5 speed MPI EA with rego. EA's aren't worth very much anymore even for good ones, not that they are bad cars or anything, should be able to pick up a good one for less than 1k. Maybe even save up for an EB or ED. This will save you having to do a MPI conversion, plus you get the much better T5 manual gearbox.

How long do they give you to clear the canary over there ?

ok cheers mate thinkin bout biting the bullet but i dunno... umm they gave me six weeks to clear it which isnt too bad
