My Options

[Amm]

Hows it going guys, just wondering if i should buy a little run around and "work" on my car gradually.....like throughout this whole year? as it is unregistered already which will allow me to add parts as sooner or later as i can.

im leaning towards the adding parts and just using the run around to get to work and keep the line as low on k's as i can....its in the 87's and really would like to keep it as long as possible. saying that what would be the best we to upkeep the line. Like take the battery out drain the oil/petrol so not to rust as it will be sitting like this for a while if i go this way?

Also will it be easy/hard for me to get a blue slip if i do the following:

Intercooler

Splitfire Coils

Emanage Ultimate

In tank fuel pump

Split front/Dump

3 inch hi flow cat

As these are the mods i would be aiming for the year

not for those mods you don't need an extra car. Exhaust would take about a day at tops. Split fire coil would take all of 1 hour. Fuel pump probably a morning. Don't know about Emanage, might be a plug in, might not be. I had SAFC2 installed on my own in 3 hours.

intercooler, if you have an angle grinder, another 3-5 hours.

thanks was just thinking that i havent got the money yet for the parts and this way would be able to take my time but i just been looking for a cheap run around and now it looks like ill be registering the line as there are no cheap run arounds these days (1500) max.just looked.

well i guess ill be ordering the exhaust and then getting it registered in a week or so.....thanks for the comment

dont let the car run out of rego if your planning on resurecting it a year l8r. unless you are going to go and get an engineers cert for the mods. and if u are going to have it engineered u might as well book the car for an emissions test at least a month b4 u are planning on re-registering it (because they usually have a months wait give or take for the car to be able to be seen by them).

ive been thru this and so have many others that have had their car run 3 months past rego expiry.

reasons for this:-

* mechanics want a completely stock car to go over when the car needs a blue slip. its kind of like having the car freshly imported and having to have it complianced. it needs to b completly stock.
