    It should give a little more poke, I'd expect roughly a high 14 from it. No need for shift kits and so forth, it's a manual. That being said, I do need the clutch looked at, been slipping a bit lately....

    Was around $1300 roughly including postage? Steve gave me a bit of a discount because I purchased it all at once.

    Thanks man, I seem to get that compliment a fair bit, I love the front end particularly. Hadn't really thought about tinting the rear lights to be honest, I would love to get a Calais garnish, but that is a fair way down the list at the moment.

    $1300 isn't bad, all of that + 3:9 or 4:1 diff gears wouldn't be too bad lol.

    Is it an easy fit to get it all fitted though?

    LSD is certainly up there on the list, I'd be looking at 3.45's or 3.7's, as I do drive around at 110 fairly often.

    Fitting shouldn't be too hard, installation guides aren't hard to come buy, it's basically taking off old parts and fitting new ones, very little 'modification' is needed.

    Looks like I'll be getting some shortened shocks within the week, should improve the ride notably.

    Haha sounds pretty wicked, you have a nice car, just make sure you keep it in that condition . 3.7's would still be quick.

    Haha yes, well it's been in this condition for 3+ years so I must be doing something right! 3.7s would be real nice I think.

    Not really within my reach mate haha i'd have to sell my car and since i've only had it a few months don't think it'd go down to well with the rents XD But in a couple of years when im off my P's then i will most certainly get a manual.

    I've had mine for 4 months and i'm selling it lol. xD


    If you had like 3.9 gears wouldn't it such a pain in the ass driving a manual?

    What would it be like with like 3.9 gears in an auto + stage 2 shift kit?

    In all honesty, just save your cash and get a nice car in a few years. I had some average cars when I was on my P's. I loved how I could thrash it and didn't car, made some mistakes, left a few dents, and I didn't car. If I had this car now... well it would be a different story.

    Thanks man! Tiger is a love or hate colour, but hell I love it with these rims

    4 months? Hell you change your mind quick!

    Pain in the ass, or hell fun? Haha!

    I can only really comment from a mates VS 5lt v8 with a shift kit and 4.11's. Let's just say he can't drive when it rains

    If everything goes to plan I'll have some shortened shocks in by the end of tomorrow. Should make Magill rd a little more bearable.

    Also, really looking forward a parcel coming from MACE. Does anyone have a torque wrench I can borrow? haha!

    Haha it's not that quick, problem is i got a nice car with no money to be able to spend on it, so i'm going 1-3 years back in a sedan, then i'll have a nice $7500 sitting there left over for me to fiddle with
