Rego on my ute is $490 reg on the wife's mirage is $550.   Our roads are so shit it's not funny driving on queenslad roads is like driving on a cloud I'm guessing that's where all that money goes from u guys regos

  So Jason what's the car snapping headboxes on the dyno sounds very promising

I think it depends which qld roads you talk about, lol

the car blowing up the gear box on the dyno isnt because it was given a trashing. was just during a dyno tune, as i built a custom fuel injection system with all after market ecu on what was originally a carby engine,
I had a stall converter let go about 6months before hand on my c4 box when it was my previous carby engine, I took the box into a person who i would now call less than repuitable to pull the box down and clean out the bits of Converter from the box, the SOB took all the good bits out of my box and replaced it with shit. the box was rated around 600hp when i first got it built so it would last. 6months later whilst never used since the converter blew up i built a new engine with fuel injection, i put it in for a dyno tune, and half way through tuning the friggin thing let go.  when i stripped it down finding my shift kit and all my full manual vavle bodies and billet servo was replaced with old worn stock parts. so then had to rebuild the entire thing spend the big money again at another shop to rebuild it, in other words i got ripped off,I have also wondered if the guy just swapped my box for one of his crap stocker, and this cost me a hell of allot of money and stress, and left me paying rego on a car im not enjoying. i would love to say i blew the c4 up when i was pulling some crazy number, but the truth is dodgy gear box and i wouldnt know what numbers this thing can do because i never got that far into getting the new ecu tuned.
But ill get this thing hopefully back on the road, seeing its at running stage again i gotta get my arse into gear and get the tow  truck to pick it up and drop it into the dyno so its drivable again. but it wont be much of a driving car i made the thing for the straight line, and im not that interested in racing these days as ive sort of grown out of that, but it will make a good headturner and weekend car where it makes lots of noise and barely idles. shithouse to drive but you feel good being in it. and it is my favorite car

Ps if my rego was $400 i wou8ld buy a few more cars and still pay the same rego i am now. one can only dream, or maby i move to another state lol
