    arghhhhh!!!! 3 points and $239 fine! salmon st port melbourne, they've just built a set of new shops, but the road that was where has nowhere to turn right into them.

    you have to go down over/under a bridge and turn around somewhere miles away. me and 5 other people did the illegal right turn (worst road design ever) and there's a cop sitting next to subway in an unmarked VE. So friggen annoyed!

    I just got all my points back damn it!!!!!! :bang::bang:

    In other news I tightened the battery clamps and earth strap bolt and suddenly all my dash issues are gone!
    This is why I sent it to the auto sparky! they didn't even check the battery! :bang:

    Ok she's going in for some exhaust work on tuesday. Mufflers going in the bin, getting it merged into a single 2 1/2" after the cats, one decent muffler.

    They really wanted me to get a resi on it to, they were pretty adamant it would be too freaking loud lol. but I have to at least hear it before I get the resi on haha.

    Theres holes behind the lion badges, so you should definitely take the chev badges off asap and put lions back on :)

    shitt, yeah they will be ripped off before i even get in it to drive it home lol. But the problem is finding the lion badges. So many people want like $40 each for them on ebay and ****. so trying to find some for free now before i pay the rest of the money lol
