hahaha nah its gonna be so tempting though, but im gonna have to hold off on the turbo at LEAST til im on maybe my 2nd year of green P's, id rather keep my licence haha.
even if i do go turbo on my p's all it will be is a stocko setup with probably a hi-flow t3, so i dno if it would be worth it lol.

i only drive mine once maybe twice a week and get off my p's in a couple of months so its not too bad
just drive it n/a and build a turbs motor till ur off your p's then slot the turbo monster in
but it will suck waiting 3 years
thats a good idea lol, i was thinking maybe just building a weekender, so i could just drive around with maybe even no p plates on every few weekends, i wouldnt have much chance of getting caught doing that i wouldnt think haha

But im relying on my uncle and im not too sure if i can really haha, he has already set 2 dates to take and and he has postponed both due to him having 'so many busy weekends' lol. but anyway id say he will go through with it this time, so when it gets up there i will be doing everything to it for rego, including whacking the 5spd in

Yeah it sounds really nice, its not too loud but at the same time it isnt too quiet, it has a nice note to it, im not sure how much louder a set of extractors would make it but with the stock headers it sounds nice, they wont be staying though ofcourse!
and thanks to
-HOLDEN-, Patch, vldoser and JET-086 for the comments =]
