well seeing you only have 1500 ...

straight for the rims.....

most effective mod for sure.......

Dig around in the For sale section.. there are some pretty nice rims with a decent amount of rubber on em....

cheers

welcome to the club...

a nice exhurst system would not set you back munch about $500 and mabey lowering as you have a set of rims(15" in your profile)

you could buy a couple of hangbags... a nice purse......

ohhhh.. you ment for your car.. oh sorry

i would have go with mags first they really set your car off and tint and lowered!

work on stuff that stands out...
dump it...rims.....VR-X body kit fore sure....check ebay.. there is a few floatin on there

rims for sure!!!

what size rims and how much can i lower it in tas so its still legal? i have a pic of my car it has a fair sized dent in the side from a footy does anyone know how much it would cost to remove? just a quick guess.

sheel buff right out man.. lol.. take it to a panel beaters if its just a footy dint they would just suck it back out.

limit for being lowered it 100MM
mine is 110 and it is a bit to low for my likings....ive mastered the Scraping technique...lol

yeah i dont want it to scrap but lowered a bit cause theres like 4 inchs about the wheels to the top of the arch

king spring lows. is ya best bet.... super lows is a bit to much.....

awesome thanks guys ill have to get a price soon. need new ****

super lows is a bit to much.....

sif :P :D

yeah i'd say $1000 on rims, $500 on lowering, take off the tow bar... different car :)

how many k's on the car?

either get a set of 17's or u could get a new exhaust n extractors...i'd go tha rims...BIG ONES!!..lol

sif :P :D

Yeah definitely take it off. My Verada came with a TB and it looks MUCH better without it now. Also got my old plates transfered this morning so it's looking fab!!

As soon as I pay off my dad (owe him about $2500 then it's all mine!) I plan to lower and get 18" rims. 19" may be a bit of a stretch.

Nice ride! Welcome to the club. 17" rims would be big enough so not to blow the budget. King low springs would be low enough, but super low looks really good just a pain in car parks. Do the exhaust later, when you have more cash.

For me, suspension mods gave me the biggest improvement in driving enjoyment. With that in mind, I were you, I would get some new springs (Kings lows/superlows or Lovells) AND shocks (monroe gt's etc) for $700 or $800 and keep the left overs and keep saving.

When it comes time to buy some new rubber for you 15's, it will almost be just as cheap to buy news rims at the same time with the rubber, and hopefully by then you will have enough saved for some nice 17/18's :cool:

bob sadget has those 20's for sale for 1400! get them and buy a angle grinder for 100. rims and lowered.:D

is that at penrith rta??

Lower it first. Whether or not you want to take Tim-E's advice and get new shocks too is up to you (would make sense if you really want to improve handling though, or if the stock shocks are getting a bit old), but lower it nonetheless.

New rims would be sweet too, but depending on what you want to get out of your car, you might want new springs/shocks, and then keep saving for new wheels. You could get a set of second-hand 17/18" wheels for less than a grand (or the Bob Jane special (http://www.bobjane.com.au/Specials/Wheels.asp) brand new for not much more), so you wouldn't have to be saving for too long.

is that at penrith rta??

Yep ;) I took that as I was putting my personal plates on after tranferring them and paying the f***ing stamp duty to make the car mine :D

I gotta ask how did you pick it??

I'd go rims first. I have done loads to mine and yet still can't save enough money to get blingin' rims yet. Most mods are relatively cheap, especially now you've discovered us, this is the best directory for finding cheap, reliable and effective mods. Welcome aboard buddy. Have fun :badgrin:
