it doesnt bother me with power because i dont go over the top with ricing my car up any more, i just want it to handle and go a little better than stock, altho i may get carryed away lol. i havent been deliberatly pulled up for a very very long time, at least 8 monts to a year, only 1 breath test and they pulled every car up that went down that road so i dont have a lot to worry about

To be honest with you can probably go with extractors and and full exhaust system as they don't increase horsepower but only increase performance/ drive ability. The advantages of having these two mods allows the engine to be at its full potential creating the same power as sock but not nearly as restrictive as stock exhaust, it just allow the engine to breath much better. Mods that increase power are turbos, superchargers and cams etc.

i tend to just bolt s**t on and not worry about the police.
iv always had BNS utes and never once been d**k for anything. but on the subject of modifying, how about upgrade the sound system, throw in a better suspension kit and some better brakes, and do a few little things here and there like chrome caps on the computers and fuse boxes, maby even some braided hosing, just to give the engine bay a little shine. |

couldn't be bothered reading anything past the first page...
Quote: I was told anything that can increase horsepower will be defected. Do you have any idea of how much all of that together would cost me? in NSW a p plater is not allowed to have a "significant performance increasing modification" yes its worded as stupidly and openly as that, after countless hours spent talking & emailing the RTA, they came to the conclusion, that if it doesn't need an engineering certificate the mod should be A ok for the car. in short, i have an email sitting in my glove box that says its ok for my car to have minor mods, in case i get pulled over. on the side, dont drive like a douche and you wont get pulled over and defected, what you should worry about is if you have a accident and its your fault, your insurance company can refuse to pay if they decide you were driving a car thats illegal for you license status. p.s. i know i ramble to much

Hows half a brick under the pedal sound? Obviously you've been done for speeding and I know p platers are short on points to begin with but if you can't control your right foot now what makes you think you'll be able to do it any better with more potential?
Do brakes (bf turbo items) and suspension(pedders coil overs, whiteline bushes and swaybars) and leave the power till you're old enough to respect it. (Flame suit on)
