Cooler will be fine as long as you dont have a pod also. Put your stock exhaust on, yours will most likely fail.
In other news I got an EPA letter the today, shat my pants. Opened the letter and it was only for flicking a ciggie. Needless to say I was a very happy camper, and will not be throwing ciggies around again.
You will only get dicked if 1. you have something illegal 2.they find it.
The SAFC is not legal, but if they dont find it you wont get caught. What i'm getting at is take it or, or hide the shit out of it!
Best thing to do is drive a car with one in it for a while and see if you can put up with it. 95% of the time I dont mind it, but 5% I wish I drove a standard corolla!
I have been with just car for a few years now, and I find them way to expensive.
I'm swapping to Shannons ($920 premium, partial use, 22yo plenty of fines + lisence loss, car insured for 21k) and buying a cheap daily.
I think you can find better quality cars at better prices than @ Power Rd.
Check out SSV. cnr Princes Highway & Huntingdale Rd, Oakleigh. 95433722
Peter, Paul or Mark. Great guys, with top notch cars.
You said you went in there for idle issues, have these been fixed? Check your spark plugs, maybe there you will find your sump plug.
Hey if its idling fine now maybe the old 'swap the sump plug with the spark plug on cylinder 2' trick fixed it up.
I like the color, but imo rims that big just look weird. The bottom pic looks like a toy/model car.
If you do end up doing it mate, why not try something other than a full face chrome or black rim? Actually call up volk and get some custom 22" gold GTC's, not that could be worthwhile.
