After FOUR inspections and 2 YEARS my friggin JA starion has finally been cleared of defect today!

Ah mate, thought i'd never see this day. When i first got it, only drove it for two weeks before it got done.

Well i've learnt my lesson. Keep your car as stock as a rock because you cant mess with the state transport authority.

Thinking back my lifes changed so much over the past 2 years and one thing ive come to learn is that my starion is the biggest bitch in the world! But ive perservered with it and now i truly appreciate the full meaning of how wonderful it is to drive a starion.

So slow down, love your starion everyday and be happy as long as you can drive it!

It's OK to love your starion, just don't LOVE your starion..... you'll end up getting your private bits burnt

yeah decoy gotta catch up sometime!

Give me about a week or so though coz i wanna put the bodykit on first. Its been sitting under my bed for so long. Got an intercooler i got to put on to.

i know i said i should leave my starion stock, but im really unsure whether or not i should put a big muffler back on it or not. I got a 3 inch exhaust from the turbo and its going out through an MX6 muffler with a 1 inch tip. Im not that fussed with power anymore and I dont really want the attention of a loud muffler but it seems like a waste if i dont put one on. Especially seeing how i still got the old apexi muffler just lying in the garage (it is also the muffler that got me originally defected). :?

sure let me know when you're free. i've been defected since we last met so my cars been back to stock and havn't put much back on it again. My zorst was over as well but i'm just on the limit 97db when i installed a resonator. maybe it would bring urs quiet enough to escape too much suspicion?

I have a 3" dump into a resonator, then 2.5" all the way back with a crappy little sports muffler and a 2.5" tip, looks stock as a rock, and sounds only ever so slightly louder, but easily very legal, and goes heaps better than the standard system.
It doesn't need to be deafening to provide good performance.

I used to have a 3" all the way through with a big cannon muffler, 4" tip which made my ears ring after trips and gave me heaps of power in the top end, but the new setup is only slightly less powerful in the top end, and spools up quicker too
