Sorry to go off topic but what does it cost everyone to register their car.
In NSW you have to have a green slip (3rd party personel) and all up with that and registration fees it cost me nearly $900, rip off. bloody tax.

what r the sprint rims worth? if they are worth enough im more likely to sell and get some cheapo rims and do some more mods to the car.

but for now i dont even have the money for seat covers really.
all im doing to it for a while is seat covers and cleaning the damn mirrors and back window. i struggled seeing properly.

hopefully with in a few months ill have some more money and ill get a new exhaust and just do little things like all the filters etc.


edit:
to those confused about ford girls post. it turns out she is my older brothers friend and i just happened to notice she had the same sticker on her car as my brothers and that how i worked it out.

edit2:
anyone know the cost of a replacement license plate? for memory the cars old ones are pretty worn out

scratch that. its $51

i was bord today so i was gana go down and take a pic through the fence. but i would have only been able to see the back and it would have been crap. plus the petrol to get there.

i allready managed to get to a servo this morning with a whole 3km's left in the tank.
that was interesting.
