Thanks Mate, that gives me somewhere to start,

Performance wise im fairly cluless im embarased to say, so most of that stuff was giberish to me lol.

Visualy: U pretty much read my mind, Top of my list were Rims, Tinting, and possibly some clear taillights/headlights, and i was also intrested in the idea of bodykits, i really like the bumpers and stuff on the turbo model, i was intriged as to the possiblility of getting hold of one of those, if thats do able.

I pretty much have my I.C.E sorted, ive got a mate whos going to give me a hand with that.

Thanks for the ideas, As i said im pretty clueless, but i love my car and i really wanna make her the best she can be

Doable, but $$$
Very hard to find 2nd hand and quite pricey new.
And you would have to paint them too.
They look the goods though

Ah ok, well that probly takes that idea out of the plan, What about aftermarket? Are they any good? i want something subtle but still nice looking, anyone know any good places in brisbane where i can get it done that arnt going to send me broke?

( once again, i am new to all this so all help is greatly appreciated to help me on my way)

Cheers guys,

No probs mate, we all have to start somewhere.

High flow cat with a cat back exhaust= Bigger, freer flowing exhaust with some noise.

Pod filter for some nice induction sound= Allowing the engine in breath in air easier + making a awesome sound when you plant your foot

Re-map= tuning your cars computer to make more power.

Like Brad said you can put the turbo kits on your SRi but theyre very hard to come buy and cost a lot of $$$$ from Holden. And no you cant have mine lol.

Jump on ebay and type in Astra headlight or taillight
