    Just curious mate, i noticed your WA plates and have wondered for a while why they have a "1" in front of them?, whats the population of WA? thought it must have been quite a few million to warrant the extra digit

    Was going to get 18 inch XHP Barb's but now I'm thinking of going bigger. As for the license plates, I dont know why that is. I guess because WA is different to the rest of Australia (like we dont have sunday trading, you guys do....)

    The reason why they have the "1" as the first digit is because that is the new style nubmer plates in WA. The old style use to be yellow with 3 letters & 3 numbers. But they wanted to start fresh "1AAA 001".
    Some people say less talk more action, i say more torque less traction.

    It just seems odd because WA only has about 2 million people living there, where as here in Vic there is about 4.9 million and we still have 6 digit plates and what about Tassie, i'm not sure about their population but it cant be that high and they have a "1" at the start of theirs as well

    I envy you, and your mate with the VR. Fantastic looking cars? How long is it going to take you to pay it off though? Being young (assuming you are because of the P plates), you must have a pretty good paying job! Can't wait to hear some performance times from the track after you do all your mods!

    Cheers guys. Its gonna take me about 5 years to pay off.

    I was going to put on 18 inch XHP Barbs but now I'm thinking about 19's. 20 is too big, its bad enough the tyres scrape the front.

    I'm going later today to get prices on catback exhausts, if its cheap enough, then that will be going on before the rims.

    also gotta enquire about the INSINR8 plates

    And I love the VR/VS clubbies too. Awesome grunt to them, and I work as a bouncer, i make enough money a week

    Went to WA Performance in Leederville on wednesday. Here is my future to do list

    2.5 - 3.5 - 2.5 inch DiFilippo Exhaust system
    Gear Ratios to 3.7
    Mafless Tune
    "Over the top" Cold Air Intake...

    All up will cost me about $4000, though I'm gonna do one bit at a time.

    Insurance was about $2100 thru RAC. (Equivelant for you would be RACV)

    well it happened, jealousy gets you no where. Someone kicked the shit out of the left sideskirt tonight while it was parked in a public place. Big split near the "L" in the clubsport badge. I'm pissed off I can assure you, and if I ever catch the bastard who did it... may god have mercy on his soul
