    I know what you mean. I'm 16 in NSW and can get my P's in july so I'm dying atm just waiting for time to tick by. Watching a calendar is just as bad as looking at a clock. Makes everything seem so much further away.

    Tell me about it. What's more annoying is when they keep asking "how long to go now" and it's only been a day or two since you were asked last. What'll suck even more is if I fail my first attempt. Then I have to wait an extra week before I can even attempt it again and fork over even more money to do it.

    Sweet ride for your first car mate.....if you want some SS tail lights I will be taking mine off soon just make an offer???

    Black is by far the coolest colour when you start to Mod your car, yep its a pain to keep clean but when it is they look S$%t hot.

    I remember my first car....your sooooooo lucky, mine was a big old HG...What a tank that was.

    We should do our brakes together when we paint them red. I still got the red enamel paint for my engine, want to do all the yellow parts in engine bay (battery terminals, windshield washer etc bottle etc.) red so you should do the same man. I think the red paint would also work on the brakes because engine heat is hotter than brake temp because it's always constant.

    Nice car man.... must suck having to wait till your 18 to get your P's. Manual is sick and if i could change one thing it would be to make mine manual. Sounds like you go a heap planned, will be sweet once done.

    **** that sucks, in SA we can get our L's and P's in the same year
    L's when your 16 and you can go for your P's at exactly 16 and 6 months (providing youve had your L's 6months)

    been a while since i been on here so time for an update.

    car has been running great, i managed to pick up redback extractors and a 2 1/2" Hi-Flow exhaust for $350 (only 6 months old) so now the car sounds like it has an engine. love hearing the rumble i will never own a car without changing the exhaust now, also noticed a little bit more low down power.

    last weekend my mates were goin to dyno there cars so i thort i would go as a starting point to see how much i can improve the car. i was only hoping to break the 100kw mark but managed 126rwkw on the 2nd run.

    i also decided to remove my spoiler, only got plugs in the boot until im 100% on leaving it off, i think it will be staying off

    havent been able to come to any cruise or meets but that is gonna change this year so ill be seeing u guys soon.

    here is a scan of my dyno sheet coz i no every1 on here likes a bit of p[aperwork as proof

    rwkw and kw at engine are different, can be very confusing I'm slowly getting my head around it lol, its basically what the car is actually putting down to the road, because cars lose power through the process, the power the engine produces is never matched completely by the power at the rears

    yep, you lose quite a bit between the engine and the wheels, also depeding on age/condidition you can lose more or less
