All comes down to diposable income ! As I was soft and went for Std brakes( didnt no about shudder at the point when I ordered) , upgrade to DBA slotteds and ferodo pads all round is no.1 on the list.

Then , taxmans generoucity permitting , I am considering stage 1 or 2 APS kit, coupled with appropriate exhaust ie 2.5 in straight through ?

Prefer stage 2 if coin permits as there are a couple of Skylines that keep picking on me on the way home from work ( can't let the Ricies win can we ?). Also need to consider secondary cold air intake etc etc , as I can get the beast quite warm on occasion.I am not a technokrat so please put me staight if I am going down the wrong path.

That said I have more than frightened a few SS's off the line ? are they just scared ? Should, on paper be able to keep up. BTW I have a SSS & find second a little to to tall for straight line stuff in IMO.

Any way love the car , cant wait another 3 years until I upgrade the lease.

Soooo go hard or go home.

Appreciate some feedback on bang for your buck mods

thanks ian, that reminds me...... you and ken still owe me pics! lol

I think the thing that would make me get the premium sound would be that impressive tft colour screen! I urged dad to get it but he said "we're only havin it 4 years and standard would do" the company usually make you pay for options as well so, basically, MY DAD IS A TIGHT AR$E! lol

pffft - the cost of premium sound, over 4 years of (monthly?) payments... bugger all of nothing extra. Difference in sound - something. Just do it!

Hi whitetee it will need to be twin 2.5 inch or a single 3.5 inch exhaust on a turbo to have enough flow.

I believe you need an Engineer Certificate to be 100% legal. Regulations vary from state to state.

Good stuff Glenn.

Premium sound definitely worth it.

Try a good intro like Ozzie Osbournes' "Mr Tinker Train".

At about 28 -30 on the dial, the sub nearly pops your rear seat passengers into the front. :lol: :unsure:

nah man, what I meant to say was, it's been ordered due for delivery 2nd week of nov! and I don't look forward towaiting another month for delivery so I won't push the issue with dad. We won't get premium sound, :'( I wish we were but! oh well, I'm sure.... *sigh* standard is quite bareable though.
