    it only scrubs when i drive fast over uneven road (eg parramatta rd) or go into a pot hole Click here to enlarge

    i might get stiffer suspension rather then lower...

    -brakes
    -stereo
    -wheels (maybe)

    Scenario 2.
    Keep the car as is and buy a motorbike

    Scenario 3.
    Sell the car and buy an Astra Turbo or another performance vehicle (with a manual)

    Scenario 4.
    Sell my current car, buy a cheap car and put a deposit on a house
    IMHO having been there done that, I'd seriously consider/take on option 4 Click here to enlarge

    good advice... and exactly what I have planned for, maybe not 08 but definitely 09 - but the car will stay! Honestly though, my NY resolution is "STOP SPENDING ON THE ASTRA" its bloody addictive --- i need professional help Click here to enlarge.

    Well having only bought my car about 4-5 months ago I have plenty of mods planned for this year.

    1. Eibach springs and Whiteline swaybar (have both need fitting)
    2. New wheels and tyres (this week)
    3. Smooth car of badges and wing
    4. CAI and FMIC
    5. Exhaust
    6. Re-map

    Then depending on how impressed I am by the Astra I will decide on whether I want to or need to go any further.

    Although I would really like a LSD because on the tighter roads where I live even with the standard power it could do with one.
