Hey guys
I'm fairly new to this forum but have found it's definately the most helpful and accessible out there!

I've fairly recently got my red ZR and its definatley the best car i've owned, im interested in making visual and performance upgrades
i just have a few questions for everyone

• first i've been looking into the possibilities of a short ram intake and i was just hoping for suggestions on whats the best/value?
  essentially I'm looking for something with a great sound like the injen but a bit more affordable
• my central locking doesn't work, when the car was first purchased you had to be practically on the car before it would work, but now it does nothing, I've obviously tried changing the battery in the remote but still nothing?
• also do any sydney siders have any suggestions on where to buy parts, i have a bit of a list of things i'm interested in buying (white face dials etc) but haven't had much luck finding anwhere or any members selling from sydney or close by...
• pretty much any suggestions for a new owner excited to get to work

keep your eyes open for a project post so you can follow me while i learn about this seemingly great car

Thanks guys for all the responses, sorry for the late reply.
I've been doing as much research as possible on everything, just non stop learning.
I'm in the process of making my build thread as things are finally starting to happen.
I really havent found much on eBay, I tried to avoid overseas to save money in shipping but it looks like I'm going to have to spend that bit extra.
Keep eyes out for the project, in about a month is when everything is all going to happen at once, stereo, body, fix the synchro, fix all damage and paint. Pretty excited, especially for the paint we're going a really nice deep purple, I know a lot of members on here wont like the non stock-ness but I want to my this car my own.

The shipping isn't exactly cheap, but it's the only way to get most of the stuff.

Most of the overseas sellers price their goods in US dollars, so with the Aussie dollar still being very strong at the moment it's a good time to get stuff for a lot less. If you wait until the dollar goes back down to 80c or so (which it will eventually) you'll be paying 20% more for all of the imported goodies!
