I try to do as many performance mods as possible within a tight budget and to keep insurance at a minimum.

Looks, i dont go to extremes, just the odd rice here and there. :wink: :oops:

I miss the GLORY Daize of Motoring, Back 1996-2000.
When ya could get Dodgy Roadworthy Certs. Buy a Crap old Mazda 1300 for $500 and Chuck a 13B Bridgeport or 13B Turbo and The Cops would Dick and it was pass a Roadworthy by Tuesday. Go Cruising in ya New Sleeper, Having Commonwhores and FoalCans laughing at ya then going left Lane at the Lights and Just dump the Clutch At 8000rpm and Launch with Fronts of the ground for nearly the Whole Intersection and Being 100 metres in Front Before the V8 Enemy even Moves :twisted:

That is SO true!

I'm after performance! Want to keep my car a sleeper and suprise all the muthahuffer tryhard racers.

My mech has a nuts sleeper. 84 Corolla, stock everything outside, Inline 6 Twin turbo inside... Those who are in Melb, you may have seen him in the Dandy area and at the Easternats.

Problem is, a sleeper is useless after a while.

WHY?

Because after running a few people, everyone will point you out, and people will know whats coming...

For example, green kingswood, big block chev. hub caps and venetians. Can spot him a mile away! (or hear him for that matter).

Come on Glenn!! you know the first thing the the ford owners handbook is to change the original colour. when i first bought my xb coupe it was burnt orange. looked like sh!t. then i resprayed the lot vitamin c orange like on the et chargers. thing looked aswell as she went.
