    I think its the same all over australia, just like turboing needs to get complied and have the required brakes ect to go with it. If only they were as strict on their driver training as they are on car safety mabye the drivers would be okay :P

      Hahaha that is so true man! Well the car will be off the road for 2 weeks as I`m heading over to Bali for 2 weeks, thought I`d treat myself and my better half to some R&R.

      Hopefully when I get back the ball will start rolling with the car xD

        Haven t done much with the car has I`ve been swamped with work these past few months :[

        Today I picked up an interior to replace my old cracked and ripped interior, just need to find black carpet for a 4 door sedan, and I`ll throw it all in.

            Cheers mate! Yer a stroker would be amazing, but I'd be happy with a small turbo setup just to give the car that extra punch :)

                Hey man,

                Cheers for that man! The exhaust is off one of Rubin from BMAE Engineering in Malaga`s tarmac rally e30`s. I find parts on gumtree and ebay. Also there is a Perth based BMW forum, would be good to join that as its a really good community.
