NSW = pink slip + rego + green slip each year.
Depends on drivers age, typr of car, etc.
It's about $900 for me at the moment...
I was kinda exaggerating in my previous post though :P

Damn I love SA... THNKB4 cost me $190 once off. Rego for full year is approx 470, with no yearly checks or slips required...
Mind you, I am in remote areas, so the rego is cheaper. Not sure how much the Adelaide boys pay. I think its somewhere round the 600 mark for a 4 cyl.

Cheers,
Ben

Today I got a bit creative, decided to take the badge off the front of my sooby, sand the dark blue colour off and paint over the mirror chrome stars with a lighter blue. As i started to take the badge off i noticed it had a little chip in the plastic that had made some of the chrome on one of the stars start to peel, so i glued some aluminium foil onto it and looks pretty good.

All i used was: -a flat headed screwdriver
-blue enamel paint
-3m automotive adhesive
-either sandpaper or steel wool
-and aluminium foil and wood glue to try to match the mirror chrome and save myself some bucks trying to find mirror chrome paint

I think it turned out really well, it was very inexpensive as i already had the paint and sandpaper, all i had to do was buy the double sided automotive paint which might come in handy another time.

Took around about half an hour to prepare and paint and i let it dry for an hour, then stuck it on.

Here are some after shots...

I've been looking at some other Subaru sites and was a bit interested in maybe painting the interior to a darker colour, maybe matte black or something?
I put the blue LEDs into the hvac unit(still waiting on the gauge light LEDs) but they are not all that bright and make spots. I think I need more intense LEDs???
When it dries up I'm definitely taking the wheels off and painting the calipers maybe a dark blue or black.
I'll be taking off the crappy autobarn chrome letters off the rear of the car and filling the two holes in the back, might do that tomorrow.
Replacing all interior halogen globes with white LEDs, and then cig lighter ring and key ring light to blue.

I also really want to look further into a short shifter.... Do I get a cheap one from eBay? Or where do I get a decent one?

These are just some things that won't cost too much money, and that I can do myself. Maybe not the short shifter but the rest...


Any other suggestions??
Cheers

I've got a short shifter in mine and I did it myself. There's a DIY up here somewhere...

Mine is a no name brand but it works well. Kartboy, Ultrex and a few other mobs make them too.

Ok sweet do you know if any old short shifter will fit or does it have to be gen3 specific? Is it much of a change?
Anyone selling a short shifter???
