    Yeah so do I. But in theory your lowering the amount of people that would be in your car, hence lower weight, fuel usage, no injury caused to non existant people in rear. So in theory it should be cheaper, but thats not how the goverment works.

    Ute's are at more risk of crashing then sedans, thats why there more expensive. Not changing that factor if its a sedan registered as a 2 seater.

    yea true i miss read it before. yer i see your point there but still its the goverment so they will screw u over somehow haha. they will probly say its now modified so u hav to get an eng-certificate then being more expensive as u have to rego it as a 'modified vechial'
    i see ure reasons as being lighter less people in there and all the rest but.....
    all i can say is f**kin goverment

    but back to the original post
    cut hole in airbox
    mace spacers
    chip
    better tyers (if u have to replace them soon)
    give the engine a good clean up/service
