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

When I decided on options I just thought to myself things like.. "hrm, Premium sound is $900. That's only another 1200 bricks I have to lay" after a bit of that I then thought.. "hrm, XR6T, only about 80,000 bricks to lay to pay for it"... Luckily I have very minimal living expenses.

I find the Premium Sound is terrific for me. Even though I am only 22, but I am still a bit over the MEGA loud bass, the subie in the premium is fine.

Having said that, sat in a mates car the other day, dunno the specifics of the sound system, but I know the hardware alone cost him $4,000. Never heard anything so perfect sounding in my life.

Not really a fair comp with the $900 Premium System, but my point is, if you are a hardcore stereophile, the Premium may not cut the mustard.

[The lead break from "Comfortably Numb" at 25 (or so) is enough to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up    and the cresendo from "The Great Gig in the Sky" brings a tear to my eye.  :tears:

... money well spent! 

Listened to this yesterday for the first time in years - it is brilliant.

If you don't get it - you don't get it! Definitely for the soul.

I've been lurking on this forum for a while now (as I looked at buying a T) and noticed that some of you guys were finding it difficult to expand on the premium system. I found some options if you want to add to the premium system over at Performance Forums. Pretty cool but it ain't cheap

for a few ideas and rough costs:

fully installed Prices

dvd option with ability for extra screens $1699

navigation with CURRENT nationwide software $3000.

like both options $4400 and they're yours.

*nods* Chris Rodgers (Sound Off Car Audio) is doing that deal.

Or you can hook 13 wires into the the ICC and DIY. It's a VGA input onto the Premium screen and a stereo input at the 'normal' AUX connector for audio.

With luck in a few weeks I'll have some demo pics up of the DIY effort. I'm just seeing if I can source 'proper' plugs for it instead of having to manually insert pins into connectors..

I'll be updating a thread about it shortly (few days to a week) including basic pics of where and what
