hey man! welcome - I'm sure there are many to come yet tho! Nice lookin corsair u got there (u just washed it right?  ;) )

as far as the k's go, as long as its been/will be kept in good nick, it'll drive superbly!

as far as mods go, try either the 'search' button, look around here for what other ppls have do to their u12 (PLENTY), or do as we all do:

- zorst
- CAI
- extractors
- chip
- mags (tho looks as tho u've already got sum!)
- other 'cosmetic' stuff (ie: stereo, retrim interior, 'stuff' like that)

anywho, i'm sure you'll have lots-o-fun here!

as in they're stock rims?

also, emphasis must be put on "....long run...." cos once u start modying, you can't seem to stop no matter how bad ur $$$$ flow is, then it just keeps goin, and goin , and goin....

On the bright side, it's heaps fun and what else r ya gonna do with that hard earned cash? save it? phfft! tho i do like to save up big, but then spend big!

i can't see why not... probably would be best asking people who lived a bit closer (i'm up north west sydney, so the complete opposite end to you), but yeah, the words and hands of experience are pretty generous around here.
