Hi everyone,
im new back to this forum, been a while since ive been on here. Just wanted to gain a bit of inspiration for what to spend the $950 were getting off the government.
I want to add a bit of money to it and get a set of cooper s disks and wheelarches. Can anyone think of anything else that could be worth spending money on?

Cheers,
Joe
ps, apologies if this has already been mentioned, i searched but didnt find anything.

Hasn't been mentioned for a long time.
Before anyone else gets in, can you edit your post with what you currently have or want (ie roundnose deluxe, Clubman etc) what size engine, and what mods you have currently.

A set of cooper S discs, brand new just in parts is $2000, plus fitting if you're not able to do it yourself. Several of us (including myself) have been burnt buying secondhand sets and finding the total cost to refurbish and fit ourselves exceeds the value of a new set.

But there are lots of people on here who can help you spend your money!

My wish is that the gumbyment didn't waste the money in this fashion :x

That said, I have all the mechanicals & braking in order, but a race seat & 5 point 3" harness is on the cards.

They must be coughing this cash up pretty soon. Harvey Normans will be busy all around the country.

I can't think of anything...it's really rather disappointing really.

I dont either, but there is an obvious reason why and most people would swap with your for the $900 I'm sure...................
