Just your standard 2.5" single muffler
![]() Got it today, put it on, and went to get rego. I let my mum drive seeing as it would be a good idea cause shes not on her P's less chance of getting pulled over/getting a fine. Anyway, on the way back from getting the pink slip guess who pulls us over!!! Highway patrol, lol, they told us to go stright home. I thought you needed to get a permit to drive it to get your pink slip ![]() Anyway thats done, but found out my tyre was unrepairable almost brand new to, so i need a new tyre now $130...

Cant forget my greenfoam tune either ![]() Anyway next thing im goin got get are some new strut tops, mine have seen better day's.

Hey there, those are some really nice wheels. If i read correctly, they are for a VX right? How much can you pick those up for these days if you don't mind me asking? I think they'd suit my VX quite nicely!

mmm what brand link pins are those? I need a new set before track day as mine are shagged lol. Not expensive are they? Much involved with installing them? Oh and you'll be pleased to know that new strut tops will probably lift the front off the ground a little bit
![]() But good to see you're replacing all those little things that most forget, and it'll handle better too

There roadsafe or something along those lines? was around $25, about $60 for nolthane. Dont forget your rear ones! Ive got nolthane on the rear.
Dan i want superlows now, i dont want it higer Haydz got some ultras for his front so i want his springs ![]() Finaly got a new HU, now i can listen to the radio! Also got rear speakers, so now people in the back can hear music. ![]() ![]() And a Calais Rear (i remember us talking about this dan ill tell you how i done it next time i see you )![]() Anyway i got say, $200 to spend for track day, i want to do brakes but dont know what. Rekon i could get away with some high spec pads and stock rotors? Idealy i want to switch to a V8 setup but i dont have enough money for that, yet, and when i do track day will be to close to mess around with the car Or i can forget brakes get some new strut tops and spend the rest on little things for track day.
